En mai, vous avez voté pour les sujets que nous aborderons! Et le 15 mai, ce seront les raccourcis : comment réussir à les comprendre, comment les expliquer par le dessin. On se retrouve à 19h30, mais qui veut peut arriver au local à partir de 19h pour grignoter, discuter! Il y aura du thé et du café pour qui veut, il faut retirer ses chaussures car c'est une salle de danse (donc les bottes à lacets attendront une autre soirée). Paiement en espèces (25€), sur place, et il y aura un chapeau pour qui veut donner un peu plus au modèle! Le matériel n'est pas fourni. Hâte de vous y voir! 🙂

But de notre Café philo sur l'argent : vous permettre de parler avec d'autres de la place de l'argent dans la société et dans votre vie. Vous pourrez : * parler d’argent en toute confidentialité et sécurité; * rencontrer des personnes qui ont également des questions ou des difficultés à propos de l’argent; * vous enrichir de leur expérience et les enrichir des vôtres; * trouver des réponses à vos questions; * clarifier votre relation à l’argent; * inventer de nouveaux comportements plus heureux avec l’argent. Ce café philo est ouvert à tous et gratuit. Le thème du jour est choisi collectivement en début de séance. Pas besoin d'être un philosophe ni même un "intellectuel" : nous partageons nos questions et nos réflexions sur l'argent dans la simplicité, l'écoute, la bienveillance et la confidentialité. > L'animateur Jean Beaujouan est co-fondateur de l'association Osons parler argent. Il travaille sur l’argent comme objet social et psychologique (animation d’ateliers, de séminaires et de conférences). Depuis 2010, il accompagne et forme à la gestion du budget des personnes en difficulté financière et des formateurs. > Informations Nombre de participants : limité à 18 Atelier mensuel Contact : jean.beaujouan@osons-parler-argent.com Site :https://unipopargent.com/ateliers-pratiques/cafe-philo-argent/

Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it? How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp. This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
