**📵 This is a phone-free event by The Offline Club.** Hi lovely person, this listing is for discovery only —reservations are managed through Lu.Ma [👉 Please confirm your spot here.](https://luma.com/guj2me7a) \*\*\* **Let's turn one of the most screen-saturated places, the metro, offline. 📵 Join this free event to swap screen time for real time.** ​​Imagine 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. Ⓜ️ ​​**What to expect:** ➡️ **The calm way there.** 35 minutes of shared silent time - to relax, read, knit, sketch and slow down. ⬅️ **The social way back.** 35 minutes of time to chat, connect, play games & meet new people (*maybe even make music?*). 📵 Phones off and tucked away for the entire round-trip. ​​*Please note that the Metro is open to everyone, so commuters might board the same line (probably with their phones* 😉*).* ​​**Where & when:** 📍 A round trip on Metro Line 6, from **Metro Station Charles de Gaulle – Étoile** (starting point) to Metro Station Nation (and back). ​⏰ Each way takes +- 35 minutes. We will start and end at the same station (Charles de Gaulle – Étoile). ​🗓 Sunday, February 22, from 10:30 - (roughly) 12:00. Please arrive before 10:30, as **we'll take the 10:38 metro**. ​**Exact meeting point:** Charles de Gaulle–Étoile metro station → **Line 6 → direction Nation → on the platform**. We will be standing where passengers wait to board the train. ​🎟 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:** 📖 Bring a book, knitting set, journal, sketch pad, LEGO, or whatever offline hobby you love. 👯 Your friends, fam, colleagues, crush... Basically, people who'd kill you if they'd miss this. ​​**We can’t wait to swap screen time for real time with you.** ​Offline hugs, ​Stefania, The Offline Club Paris

Véritable exercice de la pensée, cet atelier nous propose d’explorer en commun une question à partir d’un texte philosophique et ses arguments. Nous découvrirons une méthode pour entrer en profondeur dans la pensée du philosophe, dégager nouveaux questionnements et faire des liens avec notre vie quotidienne. Venez échanger en profondeur sur une question philosophique. Un temps privilégié, pour nourrir la pensée ! Ouvert à tous ! Tarif : 7€ RÉSERVATION : https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1979665296192?aff=oddtdtcreator Ou par mail : lapasserelle75011@gmail.com

(Exeptionnellement à 10h30 😬) Je m’appelle Kenza et je fais du théâtre depuis 14 ans. J’ai créé cet atelier parce que j’adore voir des gens découvrir le plaisir de jouer, se surprendre eux-mêmes, 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 d’expérience : c’est un atelier débutant–amateur, pensé pour t’accompagner en douceur. On explore l’impro, les émotions, la présence, la créativité... toujours à 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 t’amuser tout en te développant. Si tu veux tester, te découvrir et t’épanouir dans une ambiance bienveillante... tu es le bienvenu. 🎭✨ 👉 Lien du programme pour les curieux : https://quiet-reflection-place.lovable.app 🫱🏻‍🫲🏿Je serai accompagné de Yannick pour la partie Affirmation 🪙la première participation est à 10e (Code promo: EMOTIONAL) puis 24e

**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 saturé d’informations, penser devient un acte à part entière. Il ne s’agit pas de réagir à chaud ni d’échanger des opinions, mais d’exercer la pensée là où les évidences vacillent, où les émotions sont fortes, où les réponses toutes faites ne suffisent plus. Penser par soi-même ne va pas de soi ; cela demande du temps, de l’écoute, de la rigueur, et l’acceptation du désaccord. Ces rencontres invitent à pratiquer l’art du dialogue philosophique : non pour convaincre mais pour rendre pensables les tensions qui traversent notre époque. * **Horaire** : 17h00 * **Tarif** : 7€ **Nous retrouver : 12 rue Falguière, 75015 Paris (métro Falguière ou Montparnasse)**

**📵 This is a phone-free event by The Offline Club.** Hi lovely person, this listing is for discovery only —tickets are managed through Lu.Ma [👉 Please confirm your spot here.](https://luma.com/mbg054w7) \*\*\* 👣 *A mindful walk along the Seine* ​After three beautiful Offline Walks, we’re back for a **5th edition** — a slow, social walk following the Seine, from **Pont de Bir-Hakeim** all the way to the **outdoor sculpture museum of Paris**. ​This walk is an invitation to move gently, notice the city, and reconnect — with yourself first, then with others. ​**How it will unfold** ​We’ll meet on **Pont de Bir-Hakeim**, right in the middle, on the pedestrian side, where you’ll have the Eiffel Tower on one side and the *La France Renaissante* statue below on the Île aux Cygnes. From there, we’ll begin a **silent walk** along the Seine — time to slow down, breathe, and enjoy the city awakening around us. ​About halfway through, we’ll stop to **grab a coffee** ☕, as a simple pause to warm up and recharge. ​Then we’ll 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. ​As always, you’re free to join each part in your own way. ​**What to expect:** ​👣 A silent walk to slow down and reconnect with yourself ☕ A coffee break to pause and recharge 💬 A social walk to connect naturally with others 🌿 A gentle route along the Seine 🇫🇷 🇬🇧 French & English friendly — all our events are bilingual ​**The program:** ​**14:00** \| Meet on the pedestrian side of **Pont de Bir-Hakeim** **14:15 – 15:20** \| Silent walk along the Seine **15:20 – 15:40** \| Coffee break **15:40 – 16:30** \| Social walk toward the outdoor sculpture museum ​*Augustin, our passionate volunteer who loves hiking and urbanism, will guide you — you don't need to know the route in advance.* ​**Contribution** ​This is a **donation-based event**, open to everyone. Your contribution helps us keep creating screen-free, mindful moments like this one. ​*Refunds? Sorry, no take-backs.* ​**About your phone** ​We 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. ​If you really want to capture the moments, feel free to bring a camera. However, we also encourage you to take mental photos. ​Offline Walks happen **every last Sunday of the month**, creating a gentle rhythm of movement, presence, and connection. ​We can’t wait to walk with you. ​Offline hugs, **Stefania & Augustin (your main host for this Offline Walk),** The Offline Club Paris

**DevMorning - Un moment pour avancer sur tes projets, entouré de passionnés.** Nous nous réunissons entre développeurs pour travailler et échanger sur des sujets divers, comme des projets personnels, la lecture/l’écriture de code open source, la rédaction d'articles techniques, etc. Qui est la cible de cet évènement ? Nous visons comme public des développeurs de tout niveau qui sont à la recherche d’un moment dans la semaine où ils sont libres de travailler sur les projets de leur choix. **Horaires** * 10h30 - début officiel mais libre à vous d’arriver avant ou (bien) après * 12h30 - nous n'avons pas de fin officielle mais libre à vous de rentrer déjeuner ou rester avec nous pour discuter, manger ou encore coder :) **Y a-t-il des frais de participation ?** Rejoindre cet évènement est totalement gratuit, libre à vous de prendre la consommation de votre choix dans le café **Quand et où se déroule-t-il ?** Nous nous retrouvons les dimanches matin dans un café parisien. Nous changeons rarement de lieu mais pour le moment, nous nous retrouvons dans le café Grizzli de la rue Saint Martin. **Pourquoi travailler à plusieurs ?** Nous pensons que travailler entouré de personnes motivées par les mêmes sujets dans une bonne ambiance permet de favoriser l’entraide et les initiatives.

🍩🍰 Let's have a weekly deep talk in an intimate Parisian café, share a drink and have a good time with like-minded, lovely and chill people. 🥂☕ We're here to sip life in a childish, simple and non-serious way. 🙃 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. ✅ This group is adressed to : ● 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. ● 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 .... ⛔ Please don't subscribe if : ● You don't see yourself in the group's aims and beliefs. ● You're travelling for a short period of time and don't live or intend to live in Paris. ● 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 : ● ❗ 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. ● 💚 We keep the session small, cosy and relaxed in a quiet place, prioritising regularity to encourage intimacy, connection, listening and speaking. (\~ 5/6 people) ● 🔖 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. ● 📝 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. ● 🍕 (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 : ● 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. ● Ask open-ended questions and invite the other person to describe what a situation was like for them or how they felt. ● 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. ● 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. ● Listen actively and ask follow-up questions. ● Be empathetic and offer emotional validation so that they feel seen and heard. It is forbidden to judge, but try to understand. ● ⏱ Be aware of your speaking time for Equally Speak. ● 🤫 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. ● 🚨 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 !!! 🤗

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.

Join other experienced and aspiring agile coaches and professionals to: * develop and practice your coaching skills in a peer-to-peer environment * share current successes and challenges in your work environment and get support from each other * learn from each other, build better relationships and experiment with new ideas

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll 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, we’ll 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 isn’t) --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 you’re 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. **YouTube Link** TBA
