Cosy Cave Conversations // 10ème // Café philo in English
**Step into the laid-back charm of Cosy Cave Conversations**, a Parisian philosophy chat that's more relaxed than a cat in a sunbeam 🐈 🌞 Gather with a bunch of easygoing souls, share thoughts on the good life and its mysteries, enjoy a beverage, and have a good laugh.
A few things to be aware of:
* **Please** **don't show up without a spot** (we aim to keep it cosy and we always have a waiting list these days — check if you’re on the list or the waiting list)
* If it's your first event, it's essential you **turn up early, or at the latest on time (<7pm)** so you understand how it works, what the topic is and don't interrupt the session
* The **session runs from 7pm to 8:30pm** where we focus on the discussion, but don't worry, you'll have a chance to socialise, introduce yourselves and continue the chat after the session.
**If you’re running late** (the curtains are closed), that’s okay, but please wait to join us in the break rather than interrupting the session.
* Please read the **tips below** for a good session before coming along
**How does it work?** We embrace the café-philo method — proposing intriguing topics on the night (up to 3), choosing one together, and diving into everything from consciousness, community, death and god, while managing to keep it light and easy 🦦
**Forget the stiff atmosphere**, we're all about small groups (\~10 people) and unpretentious chats with no homework required. No need for a philosophy degree, just bring your open mind and a dash of curiosity.
**Join us every Wednesday 19h-20h30 at Les Acolytes** — because pondering the profound is better with good company (and a pint). See you there! 🎉
A few tips for a great session:
* come with an **open and curious mind** 🧠
* **prioritise listening to others and asking questions** without interrupting or long monologues 👂
* we put a strong **emphasise on giving everyone a chance to contribute to the discussion**, so try and be aware of how much space and time you take up when speaking 🐻❄️
* we prioritise **intellectual accessibility**: this is not an academic group therefore we ask to keep any philosophy jargon to a minimum and instead explain any concepts in plain english 🤠
* we are an **apolitical group** that focuses on discussing and exploring philosophical ideas without endorsing or aligning with any specific political or religous ideologies. Our aim is to encourage open, unbiased dialogue centered on philosophical inquiry within a safe and respectful environment 🐥

Meetup for French and English conversationalists of a "certain age."
Notre meet-up réunit une fois par semaine anglophiles et francophiles de plus de cinquante ans afin de discuter de tout et de rien. Le but est d'offrir la possibilité aux uns et aux autres de pratiquer la langue dans laquelle ils souhaiteraient se perfectionner dans un cadre convivial.
Nos directives sont de s'amuser et de respecter les différents points de vue et antécédents personnels. Il est interdit d'insulter ou de dénigrer d'autres membres en raison de leurs antécédents personnels.
Le meet-up se termine précisément à 18h. Si vous souhaitez rester après 18h, veuillez vous déplacer dans une autre partie du café afin que la direction comprenne bien que la réunion est terminée.
Nous vous invitons à prendre au moins une boisson pour soutenir le cafe. Si vous arrivez tard, vous pouvez commander au bar et le café vous apportera votre commande.
Our meet-up group meets once a week. We are English and French speakers of a "certain age" (over 50), and we meet to talk about everything and nothing. The goal is to offer each of us the chance to practice whichever language he/she is learning, or just to have a conversation in either language with a friendly group in a relaxing atmosphere.
Our guidelines are to have fun and to be respectful of different points of view and personal backgrounds. Insulting or disparaging other members because of their personal background is not permitted.
Our meet-up ends promptly at 6pm. If you wish to remain after 6 pm, please move to a different section of the café so it is clear to management that the meet-up has ended.
Please buy at least a drink to support the café. If you arrive late, you can order at the bar and they will bring your order to you.

💥💥 APÉRO "INCONNUS" WEEZEM 🍻 💥💥
Hello 👋,
Je te propose un apéro "inconnus". Le principe ? 👉 on vient seul(e) ou avec ses potes, peu importe, mais avec la volonté de découvrir de nouvelles têtes dans la joie et la bonne humeur 🎉 Si tu es seul(e) on t’accompagnera et on te fera découvrir des inconnus qui n’en seront plus 😉
💥 Cet événement est adapté aux personnes qui n'osent pas franchir le pas ou qui se disent "mince je ne vais pas aller à un event où je ne connais personne" (rassurez-vous, vous ne serez pas seul(e) dans ce cas) mais aussi à toutes les autres personnes qui souhaitent élargir son cercle de connaissances avec bienveillance et bonne humeur 💥
Weezem est une appli de rencontres amicales gratuite récemment lancée et nous sommes en train de constituer une super communauté ouverte et bienveillante. Nous accueillons les personnes sans restriction d'âge et les "ancien(ne)s", qui ne se connaissent tout au plus que depuis quelques mois, adorent accueillir et intégrer les nouveaux/nouvelles. ❤️
Alors n'hésite pas à nous rejoindre. Généralement on se retrouve dans un bar sympa qui pratique des prix très doux avec happy hour jusqu'à 1h du matin (cf. photo) à 4€ la pinte 😍
Le lieu est très facile d'accès 👉 au pied du métro Mirabeau et à 5mn des stations Eglise d'Auteuil et Javel 👍
Et on change de lieu de temps en temps alors vérifie bien l'adresse en bas de cette annonce.
Voilà, tu n'as plus aucune raison de ne pas venir rejoindre le groupe 😉
Hâte de faire ta connaissance 👋

BREATHWORK JOURNEY: From Rooted Breath to Fearless Purpose
Join us for an immersive, sensorial evening while you embark on a powerful Breathwork journey lead by @thedani.
During this sacred experience we invite you to root into discipline, awaken your inner courage, and release what no longer aligns with your evolution. We are moving towards your PURPOSE.
We’ll begin with a guided meditation to center the nervous system and clarify intention, followed by an activating breathwork journey designed to build heat, resilience, and focused direction. After the release, you’ll move into reflective journaling to integrate insights and connect with your next aligned step.
The evening closes with a sharing circle to connect with the collective group and a crystal activation ritual- charging your chosen stone with intention so it becomes a support for courage, structure, and empowered action in the weeks ahead.
Come ready to breathe, release, and rise into your next level. 🔥✨
**Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls. We provide access to hundreds of experiences that explore your passions and connect you with other event participants. **Check our website to learn more, and apply to join our community and events**: [lesamis.cc/apply](https://www.lesamis.cc/apply)

When you arrive, just tell the friendly folks at La Boheme reception that you are with the writing group. They will give you a little wooden knick-knack with the wifi codes and a number that they use to determine the cost based on time spent (it's 3,80 € per hour, paid at the end).
***Now, about Ready-Set-Write! ..*.**
Ready Set Write! is a regular meeting of motivated writers who grab a beverage, then shut up and write.
***What it is:*** An opportunity for writers to get together and do short, intense bursts of writing. We write for 45-ish minutes, take a 15 minute break, rinse & repeat.
***What it is NOT:*** neither a forum for critiquing each other's work, nor shameless self-promoting your projects or groups.
You pay for the time you spend, and have access to coffee, tea, and wifi.
**AND FINALLY ...**

Rust meetup #84
(English version below)
Ce Rust meetup Paris sera hébergé par Amo. L'adresse complète est :
22 Rue de la Michodière
75009 Paris
Les rustacées de n'importe quel niveau sont les bienvenues ; même celles et ceux qui sont juste curieux à propos du langage. Si des gens sont intéressés, il y a une introduction au langage Rust. Les débutant.e.s sont bien évidemment les bienvenu.e.s et pourront être aidé.e.s s'iels le souhaitent. Venez avec votre éditeur de code !
Si jamais vous souhaitez faire une présentation au début du meetup (sur n'importe quel sujet du moment que c'est c'est lié à Rust), il est apprécié d'en informer Guillaume à l'avance (GuillaumeGomez sur github, les informations de contact sont disponibles sur son profil). Les présentations doivent être courtes (de 5 à 10 minutes maximum). Les présentations sont fortement appréciées, et on préfère les connaître à l'avance, ça nous facilite les choses pour l'organisation. Ce n'est pas obligatoire mais la priorité sera donnée aux présentations dont nous sommes au courant si jamais il y en a trop.
Nous nous réunirons, ferons les présentations (s'il y en a) et ensuite la nourriture sera servie ! Après nous être rassasiés, ce sera l'heure pour le cours pour les débutant.e.s (pour les intéressé.e.s) et l'occasion de socialiser pour les autres.
This Rust Paris meetup will be hosted by Amo. The complete address is:
22 Rue de la Michodière
75009 Paris
Rustaceans of all skill levels are welcome; even people who are just curious about the language can come. Initiation sessions are possible, newcomers in Rust are welcome and helped, come with your editor!
Rust hackers: Want to present to the group? If so, let Guillaume know so he can schedule and announce the talks (GuillaumeGomez on github). Presentations are expected to be lightning talks (5 to 10 minutes in length). Talks are very welcome, and we prefer to know about them in advance. It's not mandatory but the priority will be given to the talks we are aware of if time is short.
We will convene, do any presentations, and then pizza will be served! After eating we usually just have time for semi-coordinated hacking and socializing.

Shut Up & Write!® East Side Columbus
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 7:00pm on Wednesday, March 25 at Streetlight Guild.
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:**
6:45ish - Quick introductions
7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
8:00 - The End
**OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. 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! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild!
**WHAT SHOULD I BRING?**
Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you!
**OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:**
* **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space!
* **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels.
* **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay!
* **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.
Long Form Night - Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!
Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! Tonight's a special one; this is "Long form" night!
Most nights here at Improv Meetup, we play "short form" games, where the host has established rules that the players must adhere to. These scenes frequently do not tell a connected story and are focused on following those rules; games such as "Alphabet Game" where every next sentence needs to start with the next letter of the alphabet, or "Interrogation" where it's a guessing game.
Tonight is focused on "long form", where we will see groups of people come up and do a sort of improvised play. There may be rules to the structure itself to adhere to, or it may be more free form, but doing this allows players to establish a shared world, and to establish characters and callbacks. While your average game may last 2-3 minutes, a long form set will last much longer, and have 4+ people involved. This may be a more complicated night, but we will make sure you feel supported to try this out.
Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime!
Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
Curtain Players Local Playhouse 🎭 Tickets are on sale now!
TBA- We will do lunch before the play too! Tickets are on sale now only $20.
In-Person Event: The Answers to Depression & Anxiety
This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them.
Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance".
Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you.
The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life.
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.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.
This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.
Using Philosophy to Cope with Current Events
So this month's prompt is more general. I think we can all agree that we are living in "unique" times that require coping skills. I think that one role and/or purpose of philosophy is to help us deal with our daily lives and our "unique" times. So, let's share our feelings and thoughts about which philosopher/philosophy we turn to in order to deal with our crazy events. Who/what helps you stay focused in your daily life and helps you sleep at night. I find that Stoicism with a little philosophical pessimism mixed in goes a long way in helping me deal with what I see as very destructive, fearful and mean spirited public policies at both the state and federal levels. Hope to see you on March 28th!
