Global Languages Night - Welcome !
\* FRANÇAIS \* (English version below)
Bienvenue à toutes et à tous !
Nous nous retrouvons tous les mardis, jeudis et samedis, de 20h à minuit, au Denfert Café, pour pratiquer les langues et échanger autour des cultures du monde, dans une ambiance conviviale et bienveillante.
Pour faciliter ces échanges libres, vous serez accueilli à votre arrivée par un hôte qui vous expliquera le concept et le déroulement de la soirée.
Chaque participant recevra une étiquette avec son prénom ou pseudo, ainsi que les langues et cultures qui l’intéressent — même si vous ne les maîtrisez pas encore.
Ce qui compte avant tout pour nous, c’est l’ouverture d’esprit et ce que chacun(e) peut apporter à la communauté à travers sa diversité linguistique et culturelle.
Impatients de vous rencontrer !
\* ENGLISH \*
Welcome everyone!
We meet every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 8 pm to midnight at Denfert Café to practice languages and share conversations about cultures from around the world, in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
To help these informal exchanges, you will be greeted upon arrival by a host who will explain the concept and how the evening works.
Each participant will receive a name tag with their name or username, as well as the languages and cultures they are interested in — even if you don’t speak them fluently yet.
What matters most to us is open-mindedness and what each person can bring to the community in terms of linguistic and cultural diversity.
We look forward to meeting you!

Last on your tour, you will experience the world’s most beautiful avenue, Champ Elysees Avenue, full of sightseeing and shopping.
**Day 3** – Journey to Reims and the Loire Valley today to tour the Champagne region. Your group will visit two champagne houses and the Reims Cathedral.

Become a volunteer!
🍷 Why become a volunteer?
We invite you to join our team of volunteers to organize fun activities while enjoying a free drink, a small perk, but things are moving forward as we aim to support organizers. For organizers, the first drink is free! It’s a great opportunity to meet new people, practice different languages, and discuss how you can, if you wish, contribute to the evolution of the Socializus project.
Whether you’re a graphic designer, a developer, or looking to develop your skills in communication, event planning, or another field, you’re welcome. Our goal is simple: support organizers and promote friendly meetups and language exchanges. Over time, our community has grown to become the largest in Paris, and we’re thrilled to bring together people from diverse backgrounds to share great moments.
Our initiative is driven by a non-profit association. This means we move forward slowly, with the resources we have, but always with the desire to create connections and support organizers who want to develop similar events.

🌟 QUI SOMMES NOUS ? 🌟
« Et si au lieu d’écouter toutes ces personnes qui nous expliquent combien tout va mal, nous nous rassemblerions pour ériger un monde meilleur ? »
Au sein d’une société divisée et fragilisée, il est temps de replacer l’humain au centre du système et des interactions. Beaucoup de personnes aspirent à redonner du sens à leur existence et leur cheminement, à s’accomplir, à atteindre leurs rêves, et non ceux de la société ou de leur entourage. Pour cela, il est important de revenir à l’essentiel : savoir "qui je suis" pour savoir "où je vais" en respectant mes valeurs et mes aspirations.
La Wise Community est une communauté solidaire, multigénérationnelle, qui rassemble les personnes de bien en quête de sens et de lien social. Notre vocation : agir ensemble, avec le cœur, pour un monde meilleur. Grâce à notre écosystème de partenaires intervenant auprès de différents publics, nous offrons l’opportunité, de :
* Se réaliser grâce à nos ateliers de développement personnel et professionnel.
* Agir au quotidien en participant aux actions de terrain proposées par nos associations partenaires.
* Progresser collectivement en partageant ses compétences, connaissances, expériences et idées.

Drunken
This month's prompt concerns the idea of the “warrior philosopher” (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism")
Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critique—whether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., “conscript” capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war).
Butler’s life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusader—and asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering? See you at Drunken Philosophy!

Free In-Person Meeting: Get Over Losses & Betrayals, Build Lasting Relationships
This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships.
Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
• How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes.
• Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
• Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
• Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
• Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
• What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others?
• How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
• Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
• How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
• How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career?
Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person.
Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.
We look forward to having you join us!
This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Prompt vs. Paintbrush
AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s?
This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation?
We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee.
Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
