🌸 Chaque mardi, nous organisons une soirée durant laquelle nous pratiquons la méditation nommée Shamatha-Vipashyana, que beaucoup connaissent aujourd’hui sous le nom de Mindfulness. Une première partie est composée d’un temps de méditation de 40 minutes, puis, après un temps de pause, la deuxième partie est dédiée à un enseignement portant sur la méditation, la tradition bouddhique, l’art et la poésie modernes, l’écologie…. Un temps de partage et de questions/réponses clôture la soirée. Les sessions commencent à 20h30 (mais nous conseillons d'arriver à 20h25 afin de prendre le temps de s'installer). La première séance est gratuite, puis vous avez la possibilité de profiter d'un temps d'essai avant de choisir de vous engager ou non de manière plus approfondie. N'hésitez pas à visiter notre site pour en savoir plus sur nos propositions: [www.gandharameditation.org](www.gandharameditation.org) Les détails pour nous rejoindre seront fournis après inscription. 🌿🧘‍♀️ A bientôt! 🧘‍♂️🌿

**Billeterie en ligne :** [https://www.eventbrite.fr/e/billets-giordano-bruno-limagination-pour-faire-face-a-ladversite-1979674746458](https://www.eventbrite.fr/e/billets-giordano-bruno-limagination-pour-faire-face-a-ladversite-1979674746458) Peut-on enfermer un homme qui habite les étoiles ? Nous sommes en 1600 à Rome. Giordano Bruno a passé huit ans dans les geôles de l'Inquisition sans jamais céder. Son secret tient dans la force de son imagination. Il a utilisé ses visions pour rendre les murs de sa cellule insignifiants. Cette puissance intérieure lui a servi de bouclier. Giordano Bruno démontre que l'esprit reste libre tant qu'il refuse de se laisser limiter par les circonstances. C'est une méthode de survie mentale face à l'oppression. L'adversité devient alors le terrain où s'éprouve notre vie intérieure. À travers cette figure de passeur entre les mondes, Thierry Adda, philosophe et président de Nouvelle Acropole France, invite à redécouvrir une formation intérieure capable de relier plutôt que d’opposer, de réenchanter sans dogmatisme, et de préparer des consciences aptes à penser au-delà des cadres établis. **Date et lieu** 📅 Date : Mercredi 11 mars à 20h 📍Lieu : Espace Le Moulin, 48 rue du fer à Moulin 75005 Paris 🎟️ Tarif : 10€ tarif unique

**Step into the laid-back charm of Cosy Cave Conversations**, a Parisian philosophy chat that's more relaxed than a cat in a sunbeam 🐈 🌞 Gather with a bunch of easygoing souls, share thoughts on the good life and its mysteries, enjoy a beverage, and have a good laugh. A few things to be aware of: * **Please** **don't show up without a spot** (we aim to keep it cosy and we always have a waiting list these days — check if you’re on the list or the waiting list) * If it's your first event, it's essential you **turn up early, or at the latest on time (<7pm)** so you understand how it works, what the topic is and don't interrupt the session * The **session runs from 7pm to 8:30pm** where we focus on the discussion, but don't worry, you'll have a chance to socialise, introduce yourselves and continue the chat after the session. **If you’re running late** (the curtains are closed), that’s okay, but please wait to join us in the break rather than interrupting the session. * Please read the **tips below** for a good session before coming along **How does it work?** We embrace the café-philo method — proposing intriguing topics on the night (up to 3), choosing one together, and diving into everything from consciousness, community, death and god, while managing to keep it light and easy 🦦 **Forget the stiff atmosphere**, we're all about small groups (\~10 people) and unpretentious chats with no homework required. No need for a philosophy degree, just bring your open mind and a dash of curiosity. **Join us every Wednesday 19h-20h30 at Les Acolytes** — because pondering the profound is better with good company (and a pint). See you there! 🎉 A few tips for a great session: * come with an **open and curious mind** 🧠 * **prioritise listening to others and asking questions** without interrupting or long monologues 👂 * we put a strong **emphasise on giving everyone a chance to contribute to the discussion**, so try and be aware of how much space and time you take up when speaking 🐻‍❄️ * we prioritise **intellectual accessibility**: this is not an academic group therefore we ask to keep any philosophy jargon to a minimum and instead explain any concepts in plain english 🤠 * we are an **apolitical group** that focuses on discussing and exploring philosophical ideas without endorsing or aligning with any specific political or religous ideologies. Our aim is to encourage open, unbiased dialogue centered on philosophical inquiry within a safe and respectful environment 🐥

What happens when a church appears to compromise its pulpit for an electoral advantage? What does faith look like when the idols of order, boundaries, and violence replace the Gospel’s call for love, justice, and inclusion? And what can followers of Jesus do to stand up for their neighbors considering the increasing influence of nationalist churches? Join us March 10th as **Nathan Krauss** shares his powerful witness, *“My One Year in Two MAGA Aligned Churches: What I Saw, Heard, and Learned.”* In this month’s conversation, Nathan will reflect on his year inside two MAGA-aligned churches and explore: · **How these churches fuse** vs synergize **both American and Christian identity,** · **The symbols, rituals, and rhetoric employed to promote Christian Nationalism and “MAGA Christianity.”** · **How these churches can threaten the Church’s prophetic witness,** · **How the partisan church attempts to sanctify political campaigns through its electioneering efforts,** · **And finally, a look at the larger institutions, networks, and power players that drive the movement.** Through personal narrative and thoughtful theological reflection, Nathan invites us into a candid conversation about identity, faithfulness, and the future of the American Christian Church. Nathan writes on these issues at his Substack, *Searching for Berea*, and brings a grounded, compassionate, and deeply informed voice to one of the most urgent conversations in the Church today.

**In a time of division and isolation, come be part of the community that's rebuilding the town square, one table at a time.** In BreadBreakers, we use the common space of the dining table to have conversations where neighbors can **hear, be heard, and know one another.** If you're hungry for good conversation and deeper community, join us for a Community Dinner in Reston and help blaze the trail to a healthier, more connected society and democracy. Here’s how it works: For just two hours, multiple tables of people set aside the need to "win" and instead focus on sharing, listening, and connecting. Guided by experienced table hosts, we'll tell our stories, try to understand each other, and practice being in community with those with different views or backgrounds. **At this dinner, participants will get to choose between three different topics, including some current events.** Topics range from the political, to the "slice of life", to the spiritual, to the philosophical, to the off-the-wall - but no matter which table you choose to sit at, you can be sure it'll be like no dinner conversation you've had before! You can also **suggest a topic** by emailing us at BreadBreakersInfo@gmail.com. Food will be provided for free. For those who wish to provide a donation to help fund BreadBreakers, you can [give here](https://pushpay.com/g/restorationrestonumc?fnd=pO6G-N7oO7FH7Mp1u-x6mA&fndv=Lock&r=No&lang=en&src=pcgl) or at the event. We'll have vegetarian and gluten-free options available. If you have any additional dietary restrictions (Celiac Disease, vegan, etc.) please let us know at BreadBreakersInfo@gmail.com so that we can implement the appropriate food handling procedures. **Join us, invite a friend, and be a part of the movement to mend our fractured society and normalize a better way of talking with one another.** BreadBreakers, an initiative by [Restoration United Methodist Church](https://restorationreston.org/breadbreakers) in Reston, VA, is a religiously inclusive community. All faiths and all stripes are welcomed. Our leadership, volunteer team, and community include people who attend Restoration and people who don't.

Mindfulness Meditation group practice every Wednesday evening at Unity of Gaithersburg. Mindfulness practice is not about achieving some special state of mind; it is more about noticing the experience you are having without trying to change it. This interesting video suggests why you might sit and watch your mind wander off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmmBF8eTl18 This noticing tends to shift your nervous system from a 'fight-or-flight' state to a more relaxed and receptive state. In this receptive mental state, you begin to see your own experience differently and, over time, see other people and the world differently. Also, it is good for you: "the effect of regular meditation on the cortex was so profound that fifty-year-old meditators had a prefrontal cortex that looked like that of a twenty-five-year-old" [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PLRZVTT](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PLRZVTT) Here is an interesting and funny take on meditation by Ajahn Brahm: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR60RRmXeYs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR60RRmXeYs). If you arrive on time, there will be an introduction at the beginning, if you arrive late, find a chair and join us. There will be some discussion after. This is a free event, but contributions to the church's expenses are welcome. You can just show up this Wednesday or subsequent Wednesdays. More information at [https://www.unityofgaithersburg.org](https://www.unityofgaithersburg.org/)/

Today's Meaningful Conversation explores the role of spirituality in eradicating and healing from the spiritual disease of racism. We will begin our exploration of this topic with a selection of passages from the Bahá’í Writings, which will help us consider the following questions: * How does a spiritual outlook on racism help us better understand and address this vital issue? * What changes in mind and heart will offer an effective antidote to racism? * How can each of us contribute to true and lasting healing and transformation? *“If in this day a soul shall act according to the precepts and the counsels of God, he will serve as a divine physician to mankind…”*

Spring has long been seen as a season of renewal—when longer days, new growth, and fresh energy invite us to reflect on our own lives. In this discussion, we’ll explore the idea of spring as a time for personal and spiritual renewal. What does renewal look like in our lives? Are there practices, habits, or perspectives we want to refresh as the season changes? Together we’ll share reflections, experiences, and ideas inspired by the themes of growth, renewal, and new beginnings. This is an open, welcoming conversation. Whether you come with thoughts to share or simply curiosity to listen, you’re invited to join the dialogue. **All are welcome.**

**A Divine Connection to Nature (Free Event)** **Who is responsible for taking care of the earth?** **We talk about the environment in many contexts – politically, economically, socially and morally – but do we also have a spiritual responsibility to the world around us?** **Concern over the changing climate continues, with more and more questions about what it means for our future. And there doesn’t seem to be a consensus on what to do about it, leaving us overwhelmed and confused. But what if the way we’re treating the planet is really a symptom of something else? Is it actually an indication of how we’re treating ourselves and each other? How might our actions change if we wanted the best for others just as much as we do for ourselves? Can a spiritual lens help us see the way forward to having healthy and growing societies and also a healthy environment?** **Come join a different kind of conversation – one that welcomes every perspective in a search for the truths that unite us all – as we discuss the spiritual perspectives offered by the Bahá’í Teachings on the earth and its natural environment. Join us for a lively discussion as we explore how we can work together for the betterment of us all.** **“Consider how all created things eloquently testify to the revelation of that inner Light within them.” – Bahá’í Teachings** **\*\*\*This event is free and open to all regardless of background or belief. Donations will not be accepted.**

What role do the arts play in building strong, vibrant communities? How can creativity bring people together across differences, spark dialogue, and strengthen our shared sense of belonging? Join us for an open, engaging discussion on how visual art, music, theater, literature, film, and public art contribute to community life. Whether you’re an artist, arts supporter, educator, organizer, or simply someone who values culture, this conversation is for you. We’ll explore questions such as: * How do the arts create connection across cultural, generational, and social divides? * Can creative expression help communities heal after conflict or crisis? This is a dialogue — not a lecture — designed to surface diverse perspectives and lived experiences. Expect thoughtful conversation and opportunities to imagine new possibilities together. **All are welcome.**
