Facial Expressions and Body Language

[Version française en dessous] Hi! We are aiming to recreate the atmosphere of the Franglish language exchange sessions : you get 30 minutes with a language partner speaking the language you want to practice, then switch to another partner, all while enjoying a drink! Equal time for everyone, and everyone will get to practice! For example if you are an anglophone and want to practice French, you will be paired with someone, speak English for 15 minutes, then switch to French for 15 minutes. After that, you will get a new partner, and start all over again. There will be a 5€ entry fee (in cash or with the Lydia app), and participants will have to buy one drink or get something to eat. We will take a short break at around 8:30, and that will be the perfect time to grab some charcuterie, cheese, or mixed board for 13€. Salut ! Nous souhaitons recréer l'atmosphère des rencontres Franglish : 30 minutes avec un.e partenaire qui parle la langue que vous voulez pratiquer, et ensuite vous passez à un.e autre partenaire, le tout en profitant d'un verre ! Autant de temps de parole pour tous et toutes, et tout le monde pourra pratiquer ! Par exemple si vous êtes anglophone, et vous souhaitez pratiquer le français, vous serez en face de quelqu'un qui parle anglais pendant 15 minutes, puis vous passerez tous les deux au français pendant 15 minutes. Après ça, vous changerez de partenaire, et tout recommence. 5€ de participation (en liquide ou avec l'appli Lydia) seront demandés à l'entrée, et les participants devront commander une consommation. Nous ferons une courte pause vers 20h30, qui sera l'occasion de profiter des planches charcuterie, fromage ou mixte à 13€ proposées par le café.

🍩🍰 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 !!! 🤗

**Breathwork & Cacao :** **Sortir des schémas répétitifs relationnels.** **Vers plus liberté, et plus de lien.** **Dimanche 26 avril** **Studio Yoga Searcher — 64 rue des Tournelles, Paris 3e** **18h30-20h45** **Nombre de places limité.** **Inscriptions :** **[https://www.billetweb.fr/breathwork-et-cacao-nouveau](https://www.billetweb.fr/breathwork-et-cacao-nouveau?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExNzZOR2ttaE5RS1N5aDFiVXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR7sG4vAi3D3OMt-wuBFlkJQxU78UvHLyMlsUZhoz6TH4aU3umTCsPn39jh1Jw_aem_rMa3Vb3O7qCp1o9yE_xTbg)** \*\*\* Certaines expériences relationnelles se répètent, malgré la compréhension, malgré la volonté de faire autrement. Des émotions reviennent, des schémas se rejouent, comme si quelque chose en nous continuait d’agir en profondeur. Cet espace est une invitation à aller au-delà du mental, pour rencontrer ce qui se vit réellement dans le corps, dans le cœur, dans le lien, et en prendre soin. Sans analyser, par le corps. Le cacao ouvre un espace de douceur et de présence. Elle soutient une connexion plus fine à soi, au cœur, et permet d’entrer dans le travail avec plus de sensibilité et de réceptivité. Le breathwork – traverser et libérer La respiration connectée permet d’accéder à des états élargis de conscience, où les émotions, les mémoires et les tensions peuvent émerger et se transformer. Ce travail permet notamment : de libérer des charges émotionnelles liées aux relations de sortir de certains schémas répétitifs de relâcher des tensions profondes dans le corps de retrouver un sentiment de sécurité intérieure d’ouvrir un espace plus libre dans la relation à soi et à l’autre Ce processus ne repose pas sur l’analyse, mais sur une intelligence plus profonde du vivant. Il s’agit de laisser émerger ce qui cherche à être ressenti, reconnu et transformé. Chaque expérience est unique, et peut amener des prises de conscience, des libérations émotionnelles, un retour à soi plus profond, plus spacieux. Cadre L’espace est confidentiel, respectueux et sécurisant. Chacun est libre de vivre son expérience à son rythme. Aucune expérience préalable n’est nécessaire. Intention Créer un espace où il devient possible de se rencontrer autrement, de relâcher ce qui entrave, et de s’ouvrir à une manière plus libre d’être en lien — avec soi, avec l’autre, avec la vie. \*\*\* Ce que cet espace permet : • apaiser les réponses nerveuses liées aux blessures • relâcher les tensions inscrites dans le corps • retrouver un état de régulation profond • Identifier un chemin vers ce lieu de paix, de clarté et de joie, au fond de soi-même, auquel revenir. \*\*\* La pratique La respiration connectée est un processus de transformation qui agit à la fois sur le souffle, le corps et la conscience. Le rythme est fluide et continu, ouvrant un état de présence où tensions, émotions et mémoires peuvent se libérer naturellement. Le cacao cérémoniel — facultatif — accompagne ce mouvement avec douceur et soutient l’intégration. La musique, le tambour et un toucher discret viennent soutenir ce qui cherche à se remettre en circulation. \*\*\* Comme l’écrit Stanislav Grof : "Ce processus, apparemment simple, possède un potentiel extraordinaire pour explorer tout le spectre du monde intérieur." \*\* Aucune expérience préalable n’est nécessaire. Chaque session est guidée avec présence et sécurité. \*\*\* Participation • Tarif standard : 50 € • Tarif solidaire : 35 € (RSA, chômage) \*\*\* Infos : ilariainscriptions@gmail.com Avec amour, Ilaria Rubei [www.ilariarubei.com](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ilariarubei.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExNzZOR2ttaE5RS1N5aDFiVXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR6UcndkvdHNHzvwjvPh4pbH-Y3BPDlIV8EeyFfSIphFCUb7qvb1bYB7EeKJkw_aem_Cb-QM3ne5FZFMFTv_SHxEg&h=AT7OVSDGlaGLv5p5fDRWealr0POC5Uwm5QYMUqNobY1NvETCm9gEMKjFHTelNDsjI-JhEU6_yNcntqhWJNF6HpnDIlVrsV8IjVIDdjNL3bQzyz8G1BCp7DsGHc1VHnt5-oYAz-0EvXn2KdPORxMJ4Ye3EXyJtw&__tn__=q&c%5B0%5D=AT7CQ_1L1fcjnJFKLec0MsNY6kpMIJM7JbNURyXfzyjx1sQXN4KmL9V31cr-Lt3WKckLq2ouUG3gheKBbFuDASs3s1nZfOOYuhbVr2nniZfvISXbJNgvfWKFBxId_ogI7CSIPXWubHwUO5kdymBmpLL08AmryaOxc1s) [www.facebook.com/ilaria.rubei](https://www.facebook.com/ilaria.rubei?__cft__%5B0%5D=AZa9uBkVJvURLEj4mWkY9hUVKrFJ8H43y3QEaMtR992Z7051zlYQtUN7rfySJ5fy2DPx5Ma3oLyompCcgFYDvyh6DcBbimV9qUjh3YdumyVa52IRKGaIQh1UwJLMV6A-ClMlOxs2ijhC_DeCjyONpSso&__tn__=q) Instagram : @ilaria.rubei

DANS TOUS LES CAS, MERCI de téléphoner au 0782326054 au moins 48 heures avant la Date prévue ATELIER 1 spécial COACHS : Découvrez et Apprenez à faire une vidéo qui peut servir dans le domaine marketing mais aussi un outil d'expression dans le domaine du coaching et de l'accompagnement et relation d'aide : - aide à la visualisation d'un objectif - aide à l'expression de ses conflits intérieurs - construction de métaphores (visuel, son/musique générant plus d'émotions que de simples écrits) de style "main qui écrit " et autres effets originaux pour présenter vos services en seulement 2 heures ! https://youtu.be/ckHyvBomRF8 sans logiciel coûteux à installer ! Aujourd'hui, la vidéo est presque indispensable sur internet car elle est plus facile et ludique à regarder qu'un texte à lire. Une vidéo de quelques minutes permet d'ouvrir votre chaîne Youtube et de vous amener plus de notoriété et de nouveaux clients qui ne vous auraient pas trouvé par votre site internet. Beaucoup de personnes se filment simplement eux mêmes mais leurs vidéo ne ressort pas spécialement parmi les recherches sur Youtube car elle n'est pas "originale" par rapport aux autres. Or notre cerveau aime les métaphores, les représentations symboliques liées à des mots et phrases clés. "Un bon schéma vaut mieux qu'un long discours" auquel on rajoutera : "une méthaphore visuelle" vaut mieux qu'un long discours. De plus, si vous n'aimez pas spécialement vous montrer en vidéo, ceci est la solution qui réunit les 2 atouts. Mais rien ne vous empêche aussi de rajouter quelques secondes pour dire bonjour ou vous présenter en vidéo ou avec une simple photo. En 2 heures, vous apprendrez à créer ce genre de petite vidéo très utile et - efficace au point de vue marketing - mais cela peut aussi vous servir à faire des vidéos originales et attractives pour votre site, blog ou chaîne Youtube, Facebook etc. - Vous pouvez venir avec un projet vidéo ou non - Amenez vos ordinateurs portables si vous en avez ! Durée atelier : 2 heures Heure début : 17 heures Heure fin : 19 heures Tarif : 100 € en tout - dont la moitié 50€ pour réservation obligatoire pour une question d'organisation et d'engagement mutuel afin d'éviter que des personnes s'inscrivent au Meetup et ne viennent pas sans penser à se désinscrire, ce qui est malheureusement le cas de la majorité de Meetups - réservation obligatoire au plus tard la veille de l'atelier - et les 50 € restant à régler dès votre arrivée C'est un investissement à coup sûr qui vous fera gagner beaucoup efficacité, de temps et qui vous procura un moyen de grande créativité. - Cet outil permet aussi de fabriquer "des histoires" qui peuvent très bien convenir à l'approfondissement et à l’interaction avec un enfant dans le domaine éducatif ou psychologique. D'autres ateliers auront lieu certains Jeudi soir ou Dimanche après midi, mais il est souvent mieux d'agir maintenant pour avancer vers vos objectifs ! - Cet atelier sera suivi d'un Atelier 2 spécial Coachs où chacun travaillera sur son projet personnel (optionnel) pour les personnes intéressées. Merci de préciser sur ce mur si vous pouvez venir avec votre ordinateur portable afin de prévoir le nombre de place et de postes disponibles. http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/4/4/6/600_445910246.jpeg DANS TOUS LES CAS, MERCI de téléphoner au 0782326054 au moins 48 heures avant la Date prévue

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

Communication is everything in life! You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate. 1266 Dublin Road, Columbus, OH 43215 Hosted by the Church of Scientology of Central Ohio For more information, contact Rhiannon, the Event Host at 614-221-5024

Annette gives you the language and the lens to get there. **Elizabeth Wangugi** Creator of The Nap Concert and the RESTOR™ framework, Elizabeth is here to tell you that rest is not a reward - it’s a strategy.
