Prise de parole en public - Théatre d'Improvisation
Prise de parole en public - Théatre d'Improvisation
🌟Oser, Ă©couter, jouer 🌟 Et si tu te laissais surprendre ? L’impro, c’est l’art de dire oui, d’écouter vraiment, et de construire avec l’autre — sans scĂ©nario, sans performance, sans pression. Dans cet atelier Wise, tu vas : * te connecter au corps et Ă  la voix, * apprendre les bases de l’impro (Ă©coute, prĂ©sence), * jouer des mini-scĂšnes guidĂ©es, * gagner en aisance et en spontanĂ©itĂ© (utile aussi au travail). Aucun prĂ©requis. Tu viens comme tu es. 🎯POUR QUI ? : Pour toute personne bienveillante portant de l'intĂ©rĂȘt Ă  la connaissance de soi, au dĂ©veloppement personnel, Ă  la volontĂ© de retrouver du sens, du lien et du partage. Cadre bienveillant, confidentialitĂ©, partages optionnels. 🌐LIEU : Kawaa Daumesnil (24 Avenue Daumesnil Paris 12e) đŸ—“ïž DATE : 16/04/2026 (19h30-21h30) 💰TARIF : 5 euros + Consommation obligatoire (Note importante : Cet atelier Ă©tant organisĂ© dans un cadre associatif avec des places limitĂ©es, les inscriptions sont ni remboursables ni Ă©changeables. DROIT A L’IMAGE : En participant Ă  cet Ă©vĂšnement, vous acceptez d'ĂȘtre filmĂ©(e) uniquement dans le cadre des enregistrements de groupe rĂ©alisĂ©s par la Wise (aucun enregistrement individuel ne sera effectuĂ©). 🌟 QUI SOMMES NOUS ? 🌟 « Et si au lieu d’écouter toutes ces personnes qui nous expliquent combien tout va mal, nous nous rassemblerions pour Ă©riger un monde meilleur ? » Au sein d’une sociĂ©tĂ© divisĂ©e et fragilisĂ©e, il est temps de replacer l’humain au centre du systĂšme et des interactions. Beaucoup de personnes aspirent Ă  redonner du sens Ă  leur existence et leur cheminement, Ă  s’accomplir, Ă  atteindre leurs rĂȘves, et non ceux de la sociĂ©tĂ© ou de leur entourage. Pour cela, il est important de revenir Ă  l’essentiel : savoir "qui je suis" pour savoir "oĂč je vais" en respectant mes valeurs et mes aspirations. La Wise Community est une communautĂ© solidaire, multigĂ©nĂ©rationnelle, qui rassemble les personnes de bien en quĂȘte de sens et de lien social. Notre vocation : agir ensemble, avec le cƓur, pour un monde meilleur. GrĂące Ă  notre Ă©cosystĂšme de partenaires intervenant auprĂšs de diffĂ©rents publics, nous offrons l’opportunitĂ©, de : * Se rĂ©aliser grĂące Ă  nos ateliers de dĂ©veloppement personnel et professionnel. * Agir au quotidien en participant aux actions de terrain proposĂ©es par nos associations partenaires. * Progresser collectivement en partageant ses compĂ©tences, connaissances, expĂ©riences et idĂ©es.

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 ...** * Register in advance, and only if you will join us in-person. * Update your RSVP if you cannot make it. * Please be respectful and considerate with our writing colleagues. ***Stay tuned for location updates!***

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!

Shut Up & Write!Âź East Side Columbus
Shut Up & Write!Âź 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, April 22 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.
In-Person Event: The Answers to Depression & Anxiety
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.
