Offline Metro Takeover | FREE XL Event đ | Metro Line 6
**đ” This is a phone-free event by The Offline Club.**
Hi lovely person, this listing is for discovery only
âreservations are managed through Lu.Ma [đ Please confirm your spot here.](https://luma.com/guj2me7a)
\*\*\*
**Let's turn one of the most screen-saturated places, the metro, offline. đ” Join this free event to swap screen time for real time.**
ââImagine this: hundreds of strangers riding the metro, without a phone in sight. Instead, they're reading, knitting, chatting, having fun. On Sunday, February 22, we're challenging Paris to take a break from scrolling and turn Metro Line 6 into a phone-free living room on wheels. âïž
ââ**What to expect:**
âĄïž **The calm way there.** 35 minutes of shared silent time - to relax, read, knit, sketch and slow down.
âŹ
ïž **The social way back.** 35 minutes of time to chat, connect, play games & meet new people (*maybe even make music?*).
đ” Phones off and tucked away for the entire round-trip.
ââ*Please note that the Metro is open to everyone, so commuters might board the same line (probably with their phones* đ*).*
ââ**Where & when:**
đ A round trip on Metro Line 6, from **Metro Station Charles de Gaulle â Ătoile** (starting point) to Metro Station Nation (and back).
ââ° Each way takes +- 35 minutes. We will start and end at the same station (Charles de Gaulle â Ătoile).
âđ Sunday, February 22, from 10:30 - (roughly) 12:00. Please arrive before 10:30, as **we'll take the 10:38 metro**.
â**Exact meeting point:**
Charles de GaulleâĂtoile metro station â **Line 6 â direction Nation â on the platform**.
We will be standing where passengers wait to board the train.
âđ RSVP to claim your free ticket (or donate to our mission).\*
*\*Please note that you will still need to check in (or buy a metro ticket) using your navigo card.*
**What to bring:**
đ Bring a book, knitting set, journal, sketch pad, LEGO, or whatever offline hobby you love.
đŻ Your friends, fam, colleagues, crush... Basically, people who'd kill you if they'd miss this.
ââ**We canât wait to swap screen time for real time with you.**
âOffline hugs,
âStefania, The Offline Club Paris

Theater : emotion and self-confidence
(Exeptionnellement Ă 10h30 đŹ)
Je mâappelle Kenza et je fais du théùtre depuis 14 ans. Jâai créé cet atelier parce que jâadore voir des gens dĂ©couvrir le plaisir de jouer, se surprendre eux-mĂȘmes, et surtout... passer un bon moment ensemble.
Nous aurons la chance de pratiquer dans une grande salle équipée de miroirs, un cadre idéal pour l'expression corporelle.
Ici, pas besoin dâexpĂ©rience : câest un atelier dĂ©butantâamateur, pensĂ© pour tâaccompagner en douceur. On explore lâimpro, les Ă©motions, la prĂ©sence, la crĂ©ativitĂ©... toujours Ă travers des exercices ludiques qui donnent confiance.
Le projet ?
L'objectif est ensuite de constituer un groupe stable pour un cycle de 2 mois, afin d'évoluer, rire et tisser des liens forts ensemble. Mais il reste encore de la place pour les nouveaux, avant avant la représentation en petit comité du 15 mars.
Mon but est simple : te permettre de tâamuser tout en te dĂ©veloppant. Si tu veux tester, te dĂ©couvrir et tâĂ©panouir dans une ambiance bienveillante... tu es le bienvenu. đâš

Café Philo : L'IA va-t-elle nous remplacer ?
**Inscription obligatoire via ce lien :**
https://www.eventbrite.fr/e/billets-cafe-philo-lia-va-t-elle-nous-remplacer-1981384376006?aff=oddtdtcreator
Un café philo pour exercer sa pensée critique.
Dans un monde saturĂ© dâinformations, penser devient un acte Ă part entiĂšre. Il ne sâagit pas de rĂ©agir Ă chaud ni dâĂ©changer des opinions, mais dâexercer la pensĂ©e lĂ oĂč les Ă©vidences vacillent, oĂč les Ă©motions sont fortes, oĂč les rĂ©ponses toutes faites ne suffisent plus.
Penser par soi-mĂȘme ne va pas de soi ; cela demande du temps, de lâĂ©coute, de la rigueur, et lâacceptation du dĂ©saccord. Ces rencontres invitent Ă pratiquer lâart du dialogue philosophique : non pour convaincre mais pour rendre pensables les tensions qui traversent notre Ă©poque.

**Le concept :**
PEM axe + ses sorties sur les lieux insolites, les découvertes, la nature et le sport sur Paris et l'ßle de France.
PEM organise pas de promenades ou de randonnĂ©es dans le style des confĂ©renciers, ils sont assez nombreux sur Paris, ils sont trĂšs bons dans leur domaine et leurs tarifs, les durĂ©es de leurs Ă©vĂ©nements et leurs vitesses de marche ne sont pas les mĂȘmes que nous. Si possible Ă chaque fin de parcours nous allons prendre un verre. Vous aurez pas au cours d'une promenade ou d'une randonnĂ©e une confĂ©rence sur "l'histoire de France" ou sur "l'histoire d'un quartier". Un guide papier avec l'historique du parcours vous sera donnĂ© en dĂ©but de sortie.
Le but premier c'est de discuter et d'Ă©changer avec des personnes dans le groupe qui viennent de tous les univers et d'un peu partout dans le monde tout en dĂ©couvrant une exposition cachĂ©e, un bar insolite, une pĂątisserie qui sort de l'ordinaire, un trompe l'oeil, des enseignes classĂ©es, un musĂ©e inhabituel, des graffitis pratiquement illisibles, un marchĂ© improbable, une forĂȘt, une ferme...... :-)
Nous sommes un groupe atypique.
Au plaisir de vous voir lors d'un prochain événement :-)

Offline Walk #5 | Walk along the Seine
**đ” This is a phone-free event by The Offline Club.**
Hi lovely person, this listing is for discovery only
âtickets are managed through Lu.Ma [đ Please confirm your spot here.](https://luma.com/mbg054w7)
\*\*\*
đŁ *A mindful walk along the Seine*
âAfter three beautiful Offline Walks, weâre back for a **5th edition** â a slow, social walk following the Seine, from **Pont de Bir-Hakeim** all the way to the **outdoor sculpture museum of Paris**.
âThis walk is an invitation to move gently, notice the city, and reconnect â with yourself first, then with others.
â**How it will unfold**
âWeâll meet on **Pont de Bir-Hakeim**, right in the middle, on the pedestrian side, where youâll have the Eiffel Tower on one side and the *La France Renaissante* statue below on the Ăle aux Cygnes. From there, weâll begin a **silent walk** along the Seine â time to slow down, breathe, and enjoy the city awakening around us.
âAbout halfway through, weâll stop to **grab a coffee** â, as a simple pause to warm up and recharge.
âThen weâll continue with a **social walk**, following the Seine toward the outdoor sculpture museum. This second part is relaxed and open: space to talk, connect, walk side by side, or simply enjoy the route together.
âAs always, youâre free to join each part in your own way.
â**What to expect:**
âđŁ A silent walk to slow down and reconnect with yourself
â A coffee break to pause and recharge
đŹ A social walk to connect naturally with others
đż A gentle route along the Seine
đ«đ· đŹđ§ French & English friendly â all our events are bilingual
â**The program:**
â**14:00** \| Meet on the pedestrian side of **Pont de Bir-Hakeim**
**14:15 â 15:20** \| Silent walk along the Seine
**15:20 â 15:40** \| Coffee break
**15:40 â 16:30** \| Social walk toward the outdoor sculpture museum
â*Augustin, our passionate volunteer who loves hiking and urbanism, will guide you â you don't need to know the route in advance.*
â**Contribution**
âThis is a **donation-based event**, open to everyone.
Your contribution helps us keep creating screen-free, mindful moments like this one.
â*Refunds? Sorry, no take-backs.*
â**About your phone**
âWe invite you to keep your phone **off or tucked away**.
This time is for your steps, the river, the city and the people walking next to you.
âIf you really want to capture the moments, feel free to bring a camera. However, we also encourage you to take mental photos.
âOffline Walks happen **every last Sunday of the month**, creating a gentle rhythm of movement, presence, and connection.
âWe canât wait to walk with you.
âOffline hugs,
**Stefania & Augustin (your main host for this Offline Walk),**

Deep Talk / In English
đ©đ° Let's have a weekly deep talk in an intimate Parisian cafĂ©, share a drink and have a good time with like-minded, lovely and chill people. đ„â
We're here to sip life in a childish, simple and non-serious way. đ
When was the last time you had a meaningful conversation? Or deepened your relationship with someone in your life? It's not easy to have a deep conversation.
While small talk, which is typically casual and light-hearted, can help break the ice, it may not necessarily help you form a deep, emotional connection with someone. Whether it's with your friends, family, colleagues or romantic partners, having meaningful conversations is important for creating strong bonds.
"Meaningful conversations help us understand ourselves and those around us better. They involve sharing important aspects of ourselves and actively listening, validating and connecting with others."
We believe that a happy and healthy life is built on beautiful relationships and that loneliness kills us. That's it. It's not the number of friends that counts, it's the quality of the relationship.
â
This group is adressed to :
â People who want to build deep, genuine and caring relationships in a small group that looks the same, where they feel comfortable and emotionally safe to talk emotionally and get intimate about anything in their lives.
â Simple, loving, kind, hyper/sensitive and lovely people who spend a lot of time in their bubble thinking about the meaning of life, passionate about personal development, philosophy, meaningful conversations, debates ....
â Please don't subscribe if :
â You don't see yourself in the group's aims and beliefs.
â You're travelling for a short period of time and don't live or intend to live in Paris.
â You are not sure if you will be able to come, please update your status to allow others on the waiting list to join. An absence without notice will result in an irrevocable ban.
Progress :
â â For reservations, I'll send you a private Meetup message at least 5 hours before the meeting to confirm your reservation. If I don't receive a reply 2 hours before the meeting, I will send you a second message to let you know that you will be replaced by someone on the waitlist.
â đ We keep the session small, cosy and relaxed in a quiet place, prioritising regularity to encourage intimacy, connection, listening and speaking. (\~ 5/6 people)
â đ On arrival, if you feel comfortable, you will be suggested to choose and associate several drawn Feelings and Needs cards to express how you really feel at the moment, to talk about ourselves and communicate effectively.
â đ The best way to make progress is to make the conversation easy and natural, with everyone making an effort to suggest and write down what you want to talk about. You can write down your favourite topics/questions before the meeting. The meeting is participative and invite everyone if you feel comfortable being a leader and a power of suggestion.
Anyway, to keep the meeting running smoothly, I'll animate the meeting to make sure the conversation doesn't get wild or boring and I wouldn't hesitate to reframe people. In case of lack of inspiration we have a lot of deep conversation question card game which can help to find interesting questions.
â đ (Not compulsory) After the meeting we can finish in a nearby restaurant for those who wish to relax or continue our conversation.
Advice for a good moment :
â Leave your ego and mask at home, we are not here to impress anyone but to be ourselves with our strength, weakness, pride and shame.
Come with an open/deep/emotional/complex thought and vulnerability.
â Ask open-ended questions and invite the other person to describe what a situation was like for them or how they felt.
â Don't hesitate to be vulnerable and share information about yourself if needed.
Consider sharing personal information first to gain the other person's trust.
â Adopt an attitude of curiosity and genuine interest in what the other person is saying. Be thoughtful and try to put yourself in the other person's shoes so that you can see things from their perspective. Be truthful, caring and honest.
â Listen actively and ask follow-up questions.
â Be empathetic and offer emotional validation so that they feel seen and heard.
It is forbidden to judge, but try to understand.
â â± Be aware of your speaking time for Equally Speak.
â đ€« Be aware never to provoke political or religious ideologies, but to accept differences of belief. Advice on non-violent communication can be given in the meeting to learn not to unintentionally hurt anyone when requested or needed.
â đš Remember to maintain a safe, and benevolent environment. People who are considered to be disruptive, problematic or simply not in tune with the energy of the group will not be allowed to return.
Finally, we're hug-friendly !!! đ€

Take Control Of Your Life, Freedom From Negative Thoughts & Irrational Emotions
Feeling down? Sometimes depressed? Can't focus? Negativity & stress? Recent losses? Creativity in career and personal life hindered by mental blocks? Sometimes we never fully recover from traumatic experiences.
Whether it was yesterday, last week or a year ago, traumatic experiences - a loss of a loved one, losing a job, a breakup - can leave you scarred. You talk about it and feel a little better, but it never goes away. After you hang up the phone, it's still there; the sadness, the cloud, the over-thinking, the worry, the guilt. You try to focus, but you're blocked. You try to look forward into new experiences, new relationships but a cloud is hanging over you, casting a shadow on what you once considered a bright, cheerful future.
What happened to your courage? Your strength of character? You're 'why not' attitude? Whoever said 'time heals' must have had a special time machine, because after weeks, months, years, you're wondering - when exactly does that kick in? Sometimes it seems like drinking or drugs are the way to go. But they wear off, and now the problem is still there with added side effects from the drugs.
At this free local Meetup event we will talk about:
* What causes grief, anxiety and depression to become chronic.
* Is it possible to regain your joy and happiness even after traumatic experiences?
* How to break away from negativity and focus on the future
* What are the steps to take to get control of your mind and your emotions?
Learn about a safe, gentle, do-it-yourself counseling that can be done in the comfort of your own home.
Let's explore safe, effective solutions for healing from traumatic experiences.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there.
This group is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center.

**Abstract**
*Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation*
Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, weâll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifactsâliving documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification.
Youâll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. Weâll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, weâll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written.
This talk will cover:
--What spec-driven development is (and what it isnât)
--How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows
--Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development
--Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence
Whether youâre building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects.
