Moins qu'un chien de C. Mingus / Je m'en vais de J. Echnoz
Pour cette rencontre de Février, nous nous rencontrerons autour de :
**Moins qu'un chien de Charles Mingus**
Saint et pécheur, Charles Mingus, génial contrebassiste et compositeur de jazz fut les deux à la fois. Sous la forme d'une longue confession à un psychiatre, Mingus raconte, sans fard, la lutte perpétuelle qu'il a menée contre le "monde des Blancs", la terre entiÚre et Dieu.
Homme de l'excĂšs, il a vĂ©cu plusieurs vies en une, dans laquelle les femmes ont toujours tenu un rĂŽle considĂ©rable. Si une place mineure est accordĂ©e Ă la musique, les lignes qu'il lui consacre frappent par leur justesse et leur sens critique (notamment envers le free-jazz). Nourrie de dialogues abondants, la narration, passant d'un "je" passionnĂ© Ă un "Charles" ou Ă un "Mingus" distanciĂ©s, souligne son caractĂšre schizophrĂšne. On flirte souvent avec le dĂ©lire, et le dĂ©tour par l'asile que fera Mingus n'Ă©tonnera personne. Plein d'humour et d'outrances, son livre aurait pu reprendre le titre d'une de ses compositions : Tout ce que tu pourrais ĂȘtre aujourd'hui si la femme de Sigmund Freud Ă©tait ta mĂšre.
**Je m'en vais de Jean Echnoz**
"Je m'en vais" annonce FĂ©lix Ferrer Ă la femme qui partage sa vie. Et le voici lancĂ© dans une grande aventure. Sur la foi de son collaborateur Delahaye, ce galeriste parisien part pour le PĂŽle Nord. Quarante ans plus tĂŽt, un navire a fait naufrage sur la banquise et Ă son bord se trouveraient des Ćuvres d'art inestimables : de l'art borĂ©al, palĂ©obaleinier. Le trĂ©sor trouvĂ©, rapportĂ© Ă Paris, entreposĂ©, alors que Delahaye est mort, voici qu'il est dĂ©robĂ©. Ferrer est effondrĂ©, au bord de la faillite. A-t-il Ă©tĂ© manipulĂ©, otage d'une sordide affaire combinĂ©e Ă son insu ? Les Ă©vĂ©nements vont s'enchaĂźner, de plus en plus incroyables, insolites et fascinants...
Félix Ferrer, séducteur quinquagénaire au systÚme cardiaque peu brillant et propriétaire d'une galerie d'art moderne sur le déclin, s'en va. Il quitte sa femme pour en rejoindre une autre. Il abandonne Paris six mois plus tard et embarque à bord d'un bateau pour une expédition dans le Grand Nord canadien, à la recherche d'objets d'art inuit, enfouis dans une épave échouée sur la banquise. En effet, sur les conseils en investissement de son informateur et assistant Delahaye, Ferrer se décide à aborder l'art ethnique, plus à la mode que la peinture moderne. Il rentre à Paris avec son trésor inuit qui vaut une petite fortune. Quelques jours aprÚs son retour, les antiquités disparaissent mystérieusement... Ferrer, de nouveau victime d'alertes cardiaques, se réveille un jour à l'hÎpital. Son regard se pose sur une belle jeune femme. Cette fois-ci, de façon surprenante, elle ne l'attire pas... Par la magie d'une écriture pleine d'ironie et de légÚreté, Je m'en vais, faux polar mais vrai roman, récompensé par le prix Goncourt 1999, conduit trÚs progressivement son lecteur au dénouement des intrigues avec une sorte de désinvolture et un humour certain.
**Présentations d'auteurs**
AnnaĂŻck et Zelda se chargeront, respectivement, de nous faire une courte biographie de MINGUS et de ECHENOZ afin de mieux Ă©clairer/contextualiser les deux Ćuvres.
Merci Ă elles ;) !
**Inscription**
Ne vous inscrivez, sâil vous plaĂźt, que si vous ĂȘtes sĂ»r/e de pouvoir lire au moins une des deux Ćuvres et d'ĂȘtre prĂ©sent/e le jour J.
Au plaisir de se rencontrer, débattre, discuter, autour d'un verre !

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€

Conférence offerte : Le Cacao au-delà des modes. L'ouverture du coeur.
Ă une Ă©poque oĂč tout peut devenir "une tendance", revenir Ă lâessentiel nâa jamais Ă©tĂ© aussi nĂ©cessaire.
En ce moment si important dans le chemin de lâhumanitĂ©, tandis que nous traversons des temps que certains pressentent comme lâapocalypse â au sens de rĂ©vĂ©lation â, pour moi le Cacao, comme beaucoup dâautres plantes et pratiques, est lĂ comme un support, un soutien pour retrouver la conscience dâunitĂ©.
Ce que lâon appelle souvent lâouverture du cĆur.
Notre ego a pourtant tendance Ă tout rĂ©cupĂ©rer â y compris les pratiques, les chemins de quĂȘte, les plantes â pour en faire des simulacres.
Câest humain. Câest commun.
Et câest pour cela quâil devient essentiel de voir, puis de rĂ©ajuster.
Car la conscience dâunitĂ© nâest pas une petite affaire.
Et certainement pas quelque chose que lâon peut dĂ©lĂ©guer.
Ni obtenir instantanément.
Câest un chemin qui demande engagement, courage, vĂ©ritĂ©, prĂ©sence, responsabilitĂ©.
Câest ce chemin que le Cacao peut soutenir, accompagner â mais non pas dessiner pour nous.
Le Cacao nâest pas censĂ© ĂȘtre un « divertissement », comme tant de choses que lâon trouve pour nous divertir â ce qui, Ă©tymologiquement, signifie se dĂ©tourner, se diriger ailleurs.
Il nâest pas non plus destinĂ© Ă devenir un couvercle plaquant un semblant dâallĂ©gresse et de bienveillance sur ce qui demande Ă ĂȘtre rencontrĂ© et conscientisĂ©.
La vraie Joie nâest pas le fruit de lâĂ©vitement â et elle ne peut sâaccompagner de celui-ci.
Elle n'est pas conditionnelle, est inhĂ©rente au fond de lâĂȘtre : une joie capable dâinclure, et ainsi de transcender les dualitĂ©s.
Je serai heureuse de dĂ©velopper cela davantage lors dâune confĂ©rence qui approche.
ConfĂ©rence offerte â en direct
Cacao cĂ©rĂ©moniel â au-delĂ des modes, entrer dans une relation consciente
15 fĂ©vrier â 14h30
45 minutes
Nous explorerons ce que signifie rĂ©ellement sâallier au Cacao dans une approche Ă©thique, incarnĂ©e et vivante.
Et pour celles et ceux qui sentiront un appel Ă aller plus loin, je prĂ©senterai dans les 10 derniĂšres minutes la formation dâaccompagnement avec le Cacao SacrĂ© :
du 21 février au 4 avril
2 heures par semaine â Ă distance
Un espace pour entrer dans une relation consciente avec le Cacao et lâintĂ©grer dans votre chemin personnel â et, pour certains, dans votre posture dâaccompagnant.

Brunch - Ce qui cherche Ă prendre forme dans sa vie
Parfois, sans savoir exactement pourquoi on sent que quelque chose cherche à émerger dans sa vie.
Ce nâest pas encore trĂšs clair, ni vraiment dĂ©fini.
Il sâagit juste dâune sensation diffuse.
Une intuition.
Lâimpression quâun nouvel Ă©lan est lĂ , en arriĂšre-plan, sans savoir encore comment lui donner une forme concrĂšte.
Ce brunch est une invitation Ă se retrouver autour de ce ressenti.
Ă prendre le temps dâĂ©changer simplement, dans un cadre chaleureux et dĂ©tendu.
Ă mettre des mots sur ce qui se cherche, Ă partager ce qui traverse chacun(e) et Ă Ă©couter comment cela rĂ©sonne chez dâautres.
Un moment pour :
* se rencontrer en vrai,
* prendre le temps de se poser,
* laisser émerger ce qui est encore flou,
* se sentir moins seul(e) dans cet entre-deux.
Je serai prĂ©sente pour vous accueillir, ouvrir lâespace de parole, poser parfois une question et laisser les Ă©changes se dĂ©ployer naturellement.
Si cette thématique te parle et que tu as envie de partager un moment simple, profond et humain,
tu es bienvenu(e).

Nature's God: The Heretical Origins of the American Republic
This is the first of several meetings on *Nature's God: The Heretical Origins of the American Republic*, by Matthew Stewart. For this meeting, please try to read the first three chapters (pages 1-129 in the paperback).
**Where did the ideas come from that became the cornerstone of American democracy?**
Americaâs founders intended to liberate us not just from one king but from the ghostly tyranny of supernatural religion. Drawing deeply on the study of European philosophy, Matthew Stewart brilliantly tracks the ancient, pagan, and continental ideas from which Americaâs revolutionaries drew their inspiration. In the writings of Spinoza, Lucretius, and other great philosophers, Stewart recovers the true meanings of âNatureâs God,â âthe pursuit of happiness,â and the radical political theory with which the American experiment in self-government began.

Beyond the Bare Bones: What Human Evolution Means to You
**Come Join to Celebrate Charles Darwin's Birthday! Banana Splits will be served! Our Talk is**
**Beyond the Bare Bones: What Human Evolution Means to You**
The study of human evolution isn't merely an academic exercise in looking backward. It tells us who we are and the kinds of things we do.

Profs & Pints Northern Virginia: The Hidden Cleopatra
[Profs and Pints Northern Virginia](https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc) presents: **âThe Hidden Cleopatra,â** an excavation through myth and slander to uncover the real Egyptian queen, with Jacquelyn Williamson, an Egyptologist and associate professor of archaeology and ancient art at George Mason University.
[Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/profsandpints/hidden-cleopatra](https://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/profsandpints/hidden-cleopatra) .]
Depictions of Cleopatra are abundant in popular culture. A long list of painters have depicted her, Marilyn Monroe and Kim Kardashian have posed as her, and Vivien Leigh and Elizabeth Taylor famously portrayed her in Hollywood films.
At the end of the day, however, what most of us think we know about Cleopatra is wrong, the product of the ancient Romeâs âfake newsâ and anti-Egypt propaganda.
Learn about the real Cleopatraâand how our understanding of her came to be so distortedâwith Professor Jacquelyn Williamson, scholar of women and power in ancient Egypt, teacher of courses on ancient Egyptian art and archaeology, and author of *Nefertitiâs Sun Temple: A New Cult Complex at Tell el-Amarna.*
Dr. Williamson will walk us through how the first Roman emperor, Octavian, created the distorted image of Cleopatra as seductress that we know today as part of his political scheming to defeat his rival Antony and end the Roman Republic once and for all.
Cleopatra has been the subject of debate and controversy ever since. William Shakespeare later relied on ancient Roman sources such as Horace and Plutarch in writing *Antony and Cleopatra*, and his play helped give rise to countless other works offering a distorted picture of her.
Professor Williamson argues that âCleopatra was a human being, like you and I,â and âdeserves the dignity of being represented as accurately as possible.â Her efforts to set the record straight have met frustration, howeverâafter being extensively interviewed for the recent Netflix historical docuseries Queen Cleopatra, she concluded that it, too, had missed the mark.
Youâll gain a much deeper appreciation of the challenges of researching and accurately depicting the ancient past from Dr. Williamson, who also has taught at Harvard, Brandeis, and the University of California at Berkeley and is involved with an ongoing archaeological investigation of Queen Nefertitiâs sun temple. (Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. Talk starts 30 minutes later.)

Native Plant Book Club: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle
Join our partners Watermark Woods Native Plants, Loudoun County Public Library (LCPL), and Birch Tree Bookstore for the Read! Plant! Grow! Book Club, which focuses on native plants, sponsored by Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy and LCPL. At this meeting weâll discuss the book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver. Both memoir and journalistic investigation, this book explores how the Kingsolver family took on a new challenge: to spend a year on a locally -produced diet, paying close attention to the provenance of all they consume. Concerned about the environmental, social, and physical costs of American food culture, they hoped to recover what Kingsolver considers our nationââs lost appreciation for farms and the natural processes of food production.
You can either buy the book from Birch Tree Bookstore or contact Allison Forbes at [Allison.forbes@loudoun.gov](mailto:Allison.forbes@loudoun.gov) to borrow a copy of the book at the library. There are two ways to participate: attend the event online via the library website or [sign up to participate in person at Birch Tree Bookstore](https://www.birchtreebookstore.com/event-details/read-plant-grow-2026-02-24-18-30).
