[CINÉ-DÉBAT] Keep Cool [ENG SUB]
Rejoignez-nous cette semaine pour une comédie urbaine rythmée se déroulant dans le Pékin des années 1990. Keep Cool suit un jeune homme au tempérament explosif dont la tentative désespérée de reconquérir son ex-petite amie dégénère en une série de situations chaotiques. Vif, énergique et délicieusement sombre, le film saisit les tensions de la vie moderne en ville tout en explorant l’amour, l’orgueil et l’immaturité émotionnelle.
🗓️ LUNDI 23 FÉVRIER de 19H à 21H30
📍 58 rue Richer 75009 Paris
🔴 entrée = 1 boisson

https://www.eventbrite.fr/e/apero-philo-avec-hades-doit-on-avoir-peur-de-la-mort-tickets-1982075469084?aff=oddtdtcreator
Hadès n’est pas le décor d’une croyance ancienne, c’est une figure qui met à l’épreuve notre rapport à la finitude et à l’invisible
Hadès n’est pas le décor d’une croyance ancienne, c’est une figure qui met à l’épreuve notre rapport à la finitude, à la perte et à l’invisible.
Les mythes ne sont pas des contes pour apaiser l’enfance de l’humanité. Ils sont nés pour dire ce que la raison seule ne parvient pas à résoudre.
Cet apéro philo se veut un temps chaleureux et artistique, où la parole circule et où les questionnements se tissent.
**Tarif unique :** 5€
**Nous trouver :** Espace Falguière, 12 rue Falguière 75015 Paris
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 🐥
Enseignement et méditations : Gestion du stress & des émotions
Thème : **La gestion du stress & des émotions par l'identification correcte de soi.**
Le stress a plusieurs causes intérieures mais c’est avant tout la manifestation d’une identification incorrecte de soi. Dès que nous sommes bien identifiés, il n’y a plus de stress. Les problèmes extérieurs peuvent rester les mêmes mais la tension intérieure a disparu. C’est magique !
Au cours de cette série de cours, nous allons questionner la conception même de « Moi ». **Qui suis-je vraiment ? Une question cruciale.**
Même la psychologie moderne commence à reconnaître les bienfaits d’une telle approche en affirmant que « si la compréhension du « Moi » est limitée, alors toutes les interventions mises en place pour diminuer la souffrance de ce « Moi » seront par conséquent limitées ».
**Comme elle est la base de toutes nos expériences, cette identification correcte de soi est d’une importance capitale.**
Le programme : Des enseignements et des méditations basées sur le livre de Vénérable Guéshé Kelsang Gyatso ***Comment comprendre l'esprit***\*.\*
Cette série de cours nous permet d’apprendre à :
* Identifier quelle partie de nous parle, projette, ressent ?
* Identifier une ressource intérieure riche et sage.
* De cette nouvelle base : Gérer de mieux en mieux nos problèmes quotidiens et révéler le meilleur de nous-même.
Participation : 12€, 10€ tarif réduit, gratuit avec le Pass Méditation

COUNT Discussion Meeting: Topic: Current Events

Atheist, agnostics, other non-theists, and atheist-friendly people are welcome to join us.

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.

We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator.
Join us on Sunday 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 noon on Sundays.
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:
12:00 - quick intros.
12:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour.
1:10 - chat / take off / keep writing.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 1-1:30ish. 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. 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 Sunday!
