Agenda --- Hosted By JG Meillaud, Community Leader Hello, I’m an independent Atlassian consultant working full-time for France Télévisions (French public broadcast organisation). I love running this little in-house Jira shop. I’ve been managing projects and implementing collaboration tools since in 2012 and the Atlassian products and events have been instrumental in my career. I think the job has evolved a lot in this time, from implementing pretty much anything following exotic requirements, to the art of challenging needs and crafting smart and simple solutions while continuously cleaning up our mistakes of the past! Feel free to reach out if you want to chat about that :) Outside of work, I’m quite outdoorsy, I love hiking, sailing and rock climbing, but also quite into board games. Walid SALHI, Expert Atlassian ACE Paris --- Global Partner Atlassian (http://atlassian.com) Millions of users globally rely on Atlassian products every day for improving software development, project management, collaboration, and code quality.

INSCRIPTION [ICI](https://evenement-paris.kawaa.co/home/3558/rencontre/15794) **Carl Rogers, à l’origine de l’Approche Centrée sur la Personne, estimait que “l’un des plus profonds besoins des gens est d’être complètement entendus, compris et acceptés”.** **Son élève, Marshall Rosenberg, créateur de la Communication NonViolente, pensait que les “besoins des gens ont plus besoin d’être reconnus que d’être satisfaits”.** Dans une intention de contribution au bien-être collectif, je vous invite à participer à un cercle d’écoute empathique, centré sur l’accueil des émotions et des besoins. Ce cercle a pour vocation de créer un espace sécurisant et bienveillant, où chacun peut se sentir écouté et accueilli. Il s’agit avant tout d’un temps de présence et de connexion, favorisant une meilleure conscience de soi et des autres. Le cercle est ouvert à toutes et tous, que vous ayez déjà une expérience de ce type d’espace ou que ce soit une première. Le temps de parole est réparti de manière équitable entre les personnes souhaitant partager. Il est tout à fait possible de participer uniquement en tant qu’écoutant, sans exposer de situation personnelle. La règle fondamentale du cercle est la suivante : la personne qui partage reste pleinement aux commandes du processus. Elle choisit le type d’écoute dont elle a besoin et la manière dont le groupe peut l’accompagner. Avant toute intervention, les participants sont invités à se poser cette question-boussole : « Mon intervention prend-elle soin de la personne écoutée, ou répond-elle avant tout à mon propre besoin ? » Attention : ce cercle n’est ni un espace de thérapie ni un lieu de débat. 💡Thématique : communication bienveillante 🧑‍🏫Format : cercle d’écoute et de connexion ⏰Horaires : de 19h00 à 21h45 🗒Déroulé : Accueil à 19h / Début de l'atelier à 19h15 \- Cercle de présentation des participants \- Déroulé et cadre \- Les petites roues pour écouter et interagir : Observation/Sentiment/Besoin/Demande \- Écoute tour à tour des participant\.e\.s souhaitant partager leurs émotions et besoins\, à durée égale \- Cercle de clôture 🖋 Matériel : vos oreilles, votre coeur et votre volonté de vous connecter à l’autre 👥Participant.e.s : 7 personnes + animateur 🙂Organisateur : Thibault, pratique régulièrement dans des groupes de pratique en communication non violente depuis 2022. Il se forme à l’approche centrée sur la personne initiée par Carl Rogers. Il est par ailleurs animateur de fresques (climat, biodiversité, numérique…) et d’ateliers au Kawaa autour de la communication bienveillante. 💰Tarif : 1 consommation par personne avant le début de l'événement pour soutenir le Kawaa INFOS À LIRE ATTENTIVEMENT : Ton inscription est un engagement, merci de nous prévenir 24h à l’avance en cas d’annulation. Le nombre de participants étant limité, si tu réserves une place et que tu ne viens pas, tu prends la place d’une personne qui souhaite participer à l’événement. Les participant·es sont susceptibles d’être photographié·es ou filmé·es pendant l’événement. Si tu ne souhaites pas apparaître sur les photos/vidéos, préviens-nous en début d’atelier.

Dale Gnidovec, Curator of the Orton Hall Museum of Geology at The Ohio State University, will be presenting a program he has wanted to share with us for a long time: Plate Tectonics. His description of his program: Continents on the move - Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents - it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. This talk examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven. Dale is an energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very entertaining speaker and this will be another wonderful program by Dale. Hope to see you there! Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

For this event, we’ll help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents, wash dishes and clean surfaces at Fath Mission – Grant Kitchen. We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. Our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.

With very few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. THANK YOU: This CMG Gives Back event provides an opportunity for YOU to get involved in helping others! Benefits go well beyond the help we give to others. Volunteering provides a wide range of personal benefits, including positive effects on mental and physical health, reduced stress/depression/anxiety, increased happiness and improved purpose, life-satisfaction and personal well-being! Plus, the opportunity to get involved, connect with others and help those in need. PARTNER AGENCY: This event is hosted by Lutheran Social Services (LSS), which serves thousands of people in need each day in 27 Ohio counties by addressing the four core societal issues of food, shelter, safety and healing. LSS offers food through the LSS Food Pantries, housing and supportive services through LSS Faith Mission and LSS Faith Mission of Fairfield County homeless shelters, domestic violence services through LSS CHOICES for Victims of Domestic Violence, senior living and health care, affordable housing communities, and other services that uplift families and strengthen communities. Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country. Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply. ### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?** Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us. * Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind. * An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection. * An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms. * Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus. ## **Our Impact**  Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported: * A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being. * An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging. * Said they would return again. We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself. ### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based** Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission! Every contribution helps us: * **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization. * **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year. By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic. ## **Come Join Us!** We’d love to have you be part of this growing community of people prioritizing their mental health, movement, and connection. 🔹 **Visit Our Website to Learn More:** https://speakyourmind.men/joinusoutside 🔹 **Apply Here to Lead Your Own Group!** – https://form.jotform.com/taketimespeakyourmind/sym-group-leader-application 🔹 **Support the mission**: If you resonate with the mission and want to support, feel free to join a group before applying or donate to help us reach our goals to help more people!
