2,500 years ago, the Buddha made a radical diagnosis of the human condition: we suffer, and this suffering has a cause. But above all, there is a path out of it. This Monday evening, the Kadampa Meditation Centre Paris is delighted to welcome Gen Kelsang Tonglam, from KMC Hong Kong, for a talk on the 4 Noble Truths: the Buddha's foundational teaching, at once strikingly clear and inexhaustibly profound. 🙏 Impermanence, karma, emptiness: these words come up often, but their deeper meaning transforms those who take the time to truly understand them. That is precisely what this evening offers. ✨ A rare opportunity to hear this teaching presented by Gen Tonglam. **"So precious to listen to a teacher with such experience"** *"What strikes me about Gen Tonglam is that you can sense a genuine experience of Buddhism in his daily life"*, shares Christophe, who attended the retreat guided by Gen Tonglam at KMC France. *"His teachings are regularly punctuated with examples of how he puts the Dharma into practice with those close to him, with the people he meets, and how he manages to transform the not-always-easy situations we all face. It is always so precious to listen to someone who shares such experience."* **"He will always find a way to meet you where you are"** *"And he possesses a truly exceptional quality"*, adds Kadam Olivier, the resident teacher of KMC Montpellier. *"He knows how to translate the teachings so that everyone can find something practical to take away, right now. Whether you are a complete beginner or very advanced in your practice, he will always find a way to meet you where you are. I truly hope you will be able to join us for this talk."* *** 📍 **Practical information** 🪑 **Limited seats** in the main hall: book as soon as possible to secure your spot. An overflow space with a live stream will be available for latecomers. 🎟️ **Free entry** with the Méditation Pass, which also allows you to invite two guests for the evening. Without the pass, entry is €15 (€12 reduced rate). No one is ever turned away for financial reasons. 🌐 **Teaching in English with simultaneous French translation**, provided by Héla Marzouk, a centre teacher and highly skilled translator. 🎧 **Remember to bring your earphones** for the best listening experience (a limited number are also available at the centre).

Each person will have 7 minutes. 7PM Sign Up \| 7:30PM Salon FAQ… Piano, amps, microphone, provided, everything else is BYO. Notebooks encouraged, phones discouraged, and "no assholes."

Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking! • What we'll do Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 10AM on Saturday mornings. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: 10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros. 10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour. 11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you! • What to bring Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible. See you at The Café on Saturday!

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!

The topic for June is "Roadtrip" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
