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€

1 - "Amok"" de S. Zweig ; 2 - "L'Insoutenable lĂ©gĂšretĂ© de l'ĂȘtre" de M. Kundera
Ce soir, dans le cadre du cycle général, nous avons voté :
**1 - "L'insoutenable lĂ©gĂšretĂ© de l'ĂȘtre" de Milan Kundera**
"...En effet, quelle qualitĂ© â de la gravitĂ© ou de la lĂ©gĂšretĂ© â correspond le mieux Ă la condition humaine ? Et oĂč s'arrĂȘte le sĂ©rieux pour cĂ©der la place au frivole, et rĂ©ciproquement ? Avec son art du paradoxe, Kundera pose ces questions Ă travers un texte composĂ© Ă partir de quelques donnĂ©es simples mais qui s'enrichissent constamment de nouvelles nuances, dans un jeu de variations oĂč s'unissent rĂ©cit, rĂȘve et rĂ©flexion, prose et poĂ©sie, histoire rĂ©cente et ancienne..." Babelio
**2 - "Amok" de Stefan Zweig**
"...L'amok, en Malaisie, est celui qui, prix de frénésie sanguinaire, court devant lui, détruisant hommes et choses, sans qu'on puisse rien faire pour le sauver. Le narrateur rencontre sur un paquebot un malheureux en proie à cette forme mystérieuse de démence. Histoire encore d'une folie, d'une passion..." Babelio
***On peut lire l'un ou les deux livres programmés.***
**Pour les présentations d'auteurs :**
-Aurélia va nous faire une présentation de Milan Kundera pour donner du contexte à nos discussions ;
\- Je fais une présentation de Stefan Zweig pendant une dizaine de minutes\.
**Pour les focus sur l'oeuvre :**
\- Mikael fait le focus sur l'oeuvre de "Amok" ;
\- Thomas fair celui de "L'insoutenable de l'ĂȘtre"\.
Et n'oubliez pas !
Partagez, si sous le souhaitez, quelques mots, passages et/ou citations qui vous ont marqués, touchés, et qui vous semblent importants à partager avec le groupe et les participants.
Enfin, inscrivez-vous, je vous prie, uniquement si vous ĂȘtes sĂ»rs d'ĂȘtre de la partie.
Bien Ă vous tous, bonnes lectures, et Ă bientĂŽt !

The Sonnets: The Procreation cluster and more (Discussion)
Come and idle away the winter months with **Shakespeareâs Sonnets**! Itâs never too late to discover, or rediscover just how dazzling, intimate, and endlessly surprising Shakespeareâs incredible body of 154 sonnets can be.
Over the next three months, weâll wander through some of the most beautiful, piercing, and emotionally complex poems ever written.
Think of it as falling in love with Shakespeare all over again one cluster of sonnets at a time.
**In January:** weâll begin with *The Procreation Sonnets* and more: These early sonnets open the sequence and are the poems where Shakespeare urges the 'mysterious young man' to preserve his beauty, either through children or through art. **Our cluster:** Sonnets 1â17 (the âprocreation sonnetsâ) plus a few key early love-and-beauty poems such as 18, 19, 12, and 14.
**In February:** We will turn to Shakespeareâs poems of Separation, Jealousy, and Betrayal: That middle stretch where the emotional weather changes and clouds roll in. These sonnets wrestle with estrangement, disappointment, wounded pride, and the pain of loving someone who cannot always love you back. **Our cluster:** Sonnets 33â36, 40â42, 87, 90â96, and the fascinating ârival poetâ group 78â86.
**In March:** We enter the world of the late sonnets; the so-called â*Dark Lady*â poems, where passion becomes more complicated, desire grows knotted and sharp, and Shakespeare confronts the darker edges of sexuality and self-knowledge. These poems are bold, unsettling, and unforgettable. **Our cluster**: Sonnets 127â152 (the full Dark Lady sequence), with optional additions of 129 (âThâ expense of spirit in a waste of shameâ) and 138 (âWhen my love swears that she is made of truthâ) for special discussion.
Across the winter, weâll read, explore, puzzle over, and simply enjoy these poems together tracing how Shakespeare moves from youthful radiance to emotional turmoil to the shadowy brilliance of his final sonnets.
Hope you will make it!

Columbus HUG January: Learn Infrastructure-as-Code Through Minecraft
## Learn Infrastructure-as-Code (the FUN Way) â Through Minecraft đźâïž
**Joint Meetup: Azure CBUS Ă Columbus HashiCorp User Group**
What if learning Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code didnât feel like a whitepaper⊠but more like a game?
Join us for a joint Azure CBUS and Columbus HashiCorp User Group meetup where **Mark Tinderholt** \(Principal Architect\, Microsoft Azure \| HashiCorp Ambassador \| âThe Azure Terraformerâ\) shows how **Minecraft** can be used as a surprisingly powerful way to understand real-world Infrastructure-as-Code concepts.
In this session, Mark will demonstrate how Terraform and Azure can be used to provision, configure, and manage Minecraft serversâwhile teaching the same patterns youâd use for production cloud infrastructure.
### What weâll cover
* Infrastructure-as-Code fundamentals using **Terraform**
* Provisioning real infrastructure on **Azure**
* Applying **IaC best practices** (immutability, repeatability, versioning)
* How playful environments like Minecraft make complex concepts *click*
* Why learning through experimentation beats click-ops every time
### Who should attend
* Developers, platform engineers, and cloud engineers
* Terraform users (new or experienced)
* Anyone curious about Infrastructure-as-Code but tired of boring examples
* Minecraft fans who want to see it used in a totally unexpected way
No prior Minecraft experience requiredâjust curiosity and a willingness to learn infrastructure the fun way.
Come for the blocks, stay for the Terraform. đ§±âĄïžđ

Bad Girls Book Club January 2026
**Our January novel is: Once Upon a Wardrobe by Patti Callahan**
**This month's featured novel is a 20th-century biographical fiction, coming-of-age, historical romance, womenâs fiction, world literature, student biography, heartfelt, magic, and feel-good novel. The book is 311 pages in print and 7 hours and 8 minutes on audiobook.**
1950: Margaret Devonshire (Megs) is a seventeen-year-old student of mathematics and physics at Oxford University. When her beloved eight-year-old brother asks Megs if Narnia is real, logical Megs tells him it's just a book for children, and certainly not true. Homebound due to his illness, and remaining fixated on his favorite books, George presses her to ask the author of the recently released novel The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe a question: "Where did Narnia come from?"
Despite her fear about approaching the famous author, who is a professor at her school, Megs soon finds herself taking tea with C. S. Lewis and his own brother Warnie, begging them for answers.
Rather than directly telling her where Narnia came from, Lewis encourages Megs to form her own conclusion as he shares the little-known stories from his own life that led to his inspiration. As she takes these stories home to George, the little boy travels farther in his imagination than he ever could in real life.
After holding so tightly to logic and reason, her brother's request leads Megs to absorb a more profound truth: "The way stories change us can't be explained. It can only be felt. Like love."
