Le sentir de manière profonde, évidente et constater, en parallèle, que sa vie extérieure continue parfois de s’organiser depuis d’anciens mécanismes. Les choix, les relations, les cadres, les fonctionnements ne reflètent pas encore pleinement ce qui s’est transformé à l’intérieur. Ce cercle est un espace dédié à cet entre-deux. Un espace pour se retrouver autour de ce décalage, mettre des mots sur ce qui se vit, éclairer ce qui se joue intérieurement et entrer en résonance avec ce que d’autres traversent. Dans ce cercle, nous prendrons le temps de se déposer, dans un cadre sécurisant, où chacun(e) pourra partager à partir de son vécu, sans avoir à se justifier, ni à savoir à l’avance où cela mène. Un moment pour : * se déposer réellement, * éclairer ce qui se joue, * écouter les résonances, * traverser cet entre-deux à son rythme. Je tiendrai l’espace, j’accompagnerai le questionnement et soutiendrai une mise en mots juste, au rythme de ce qui demande à émerger. Si cette thématique te parle et que tu sens que ce décalage mérite un espace pour être traversé, tu es bienvenu(e). **Infos pratiques :** 📅 Date : Samedi 9 mai 2026 🕰️ Horaire : 15h - 17h 👥 5 personnes maximum 📍 Lieu : dans un endroit cosy et chaleureux au cœur de Paris (adresse communiquée après inscription) 💵 Tarif : Participation de 10€ + Une consommation à prendre sur place, à la charge de chacun(e). 👉 **Inscription obligatoire sur ce lien :** https://www.billetweb.fr/cercle-de-resonance-5 L’inscription sur Meetup ne suffit pas à réserver une place.

Bonjour à toutes et tous ! ✨ Je reviens vers vous un peu tardivement concernant notre prochaine séance, et je m’en excuse sincèrement. Je n’étais pas certaine des disponibilités de chacune et chacun pour le mois de mai, et j’ai préféré attendre avant de vous proposer notre lecture. Pour ce nouveau rendez-vous du samedi 9 mai 2026 à 15h00 📖, nous avons finalement choisi ensemble de découvrir *L’Épopée de Gilgamesh*. Un texte fondateur de la littérature mésopotamienne, à la fois mythique et profondément humain, qui aborde des thèmes universels comme l’amitié, la quête de sens et la confrontation à la mortalité. Comme toujours, nous nous retrouverons autour d’un café ou d’un thé ☕ pour échanger librement sur nos impressions, nos lectures et nos réflexions, dans un esprit convivial et ouvert. Au plaisir de vous retrouver pour cette nouvelle exploration ! ✨ À très bientôt, Jade

🍩🍰 Let's have a weekly deep talk in an intimate Parisian café, share a drink and have a good time with like-minded, lovely and chill people. 🥂☕ We're here to sip life in a childish, simple and non-serious way. 🙃 When was the last time you had a meaningful conversation? Or deepened your relationship with someone in your life? It's not easy to have a deep conversation. While small talk, which is typically casual and light-hearted, can help break the ice, it may not necessarily help you form a deep, emotional connection with someone. Whether it's with your friends, family, colleagues or romantic partners, having meaningful conversations is important for creating strong bonds. "Meaningful conversations help us understand ourselves and those around us better. They involve sharing important aspects of ourselves and actively listening, validating and connecting with others." We believe that a happy and healthy life is built on beautiful relationships and that loneliness kills us. That's it. It's not the number of friends that counts, it's the quality of the relationship. ✅ This group is adressed to : ● People who want to build deep, genuine and caring relationships in a small group that looks the same, where they feel comfortable and emotionally safe to talk emotionally and get intimate about anything in their lives. ● Simple, loving, kind, hyper/sensitive and lovely people who spend a lot of time in their bubble thinking about the meaning of life, passionate about personal development, philosophy, meaningful conversations, debates .... ⛔ Please don't subscribe if : ● You don't see yourself in the group's aims and beliefs. ● You're travelling for a short period of time and don't live or intend to live in Paris. ● You are not sure if you will be able to come, please update your status to allow others on the waiting list to join. An absence without notice will result in an irrevocable ban. Progress : ● ❗ For reservations, I'll send you a private Meetup message at least 5 hours before the meeting to confirm your reservation. If I don't receive a reply 2 hours before the meeting, I will send you a second message to let you know that you will be replaced by someone on the waitlist. ● 💚 We keep the session small, cosy and relaxed in a quiet place, prioritising regularity to encourage intimacy, connection, listening and speaking. (\~ 5/6 people) ● 🔖 On arrival, if you feel comfortable, you will be suggested to choose and associate several drawn Feelings and Needs cards to express how you really feel at the moment, to talk about ourselves and communicate effectively. ● 📝 The best way to make progress is to make the conversation easy and natural, with everyone making an effort to suggest and write down what you want to talk about. You can write down your favourite topics/questions before the meeting. The meeting is participative and invite everyone if you feel comfortable being a leader and a power of suggestion. Anyway, to keep the meeting running smoothly, I'll animate the meeting to make sure the conversation doesn't get wild or boring and I wouldn't hesitate to reframe people. In case of lack of inspiration we have a lot of deep conversation question card game which can help to find interesting questions. ● 🍕 (Not compulsory) After the meeting we can finish in a nearby restaurant for those who wish to relax or continue our conversation. Advice for a good moment : ● Leave your ego and mask at home, we are not here to impress anyone but to be ourselves with our strength, weakness, pride and shame. Come with an open/deep/emotional/complex thought and vulnerability. ● Ask open-ended questions and invite the other person to describe what a situation was like for them or how they felt. ● Don't hesitate to be vulnerable and share information about yourself if needed. Consider sharing personal information first to gain the other person's trust. ● Adopt an attitude of curiosity and genuine interest in what the other person is saying. Be thoughtful and try to put yourself in the other person's shoes so that you can see things from their perspective. Be truthful, caring and honest. ● Listen actively and ask follow-up questions. ● Be empathetic and offer emotional validation so that they feel seen and heard. It is forbidden to judge, but try to understand. ● ⏱ Be aware of your speaking time for Equally Speak. ● 🤫 Be aware never to provoke political or religious ideologies, but to accept differences of belief. Advice on non-violent communication can be given in the meeting to learn not to unintentionally hurt anyone when requested or needed. ● 🚨 Remember to maintain a safe, and benevolent environment. People who are considered to be disruptive, problematic or simply not in tune with the energy of the group will not be allowed to return. Finally, we're hug-friendly !!! 🤗

Ce soir, dans le cadre du cycle général, nous avons voté : **1 - "Une chambre à soi" de Virginia Woolf** "Bravant les conventions avec une irritation voilée d'ironie, Virginia Woolf rappelle dans ce délicieux pamphlet comment, jusqu'à une époque toute récente, les femmes étaient savamment placées sous la dépendance spirituelle et économique des hommes et, nécessairement, réduites au silence. Il manquait à celles qui étaient douées pour affirmer leur génie de quoi vivre, du temps et une chambre à soi..." Babelio **2 - "Les nourritures terrestres" d'André Gide** "André Gide, exalté, sensuel, lyrique. Les Nourritures Terrestres, oeuvre de jeunesse, est un hymne panthéiste. Il célèbre la vie, la nature, le désir. Sa composition est kaléidoscopique. Les genres y sont mêlés : notes de voyages, fragments de journal intime, rondes et ballades, dictionnaire poétique, dialogues fictionnels. Toutes les formes d'écriture sont convoquées pour dire l'ardeur avec laquelle Gide tente d'exister ..." Babelio ***On peut lire l'un ou les deux livres programmés.*** **Pour les présentations d'auteurs :** -Nicolaï fera une présentation d'André Gide pour donner du contexte à nos discussions ; \- Dominique fait la présentation d'auteur de Virginia Woolf **Pour les focus sur l'oeuvre :** \- Emile fait le focus sur l'oeuvre de" Les Nourritures terrestres ; \- Margot fait celui de "Une chambre à soi Et n'oubliez pas ! Partagez, si sous le souhaitez, quelques mots, passages et/ou citations qui vous ont marqués, touchés, et qui vous semblent importants à partager avec le groupe et les participants.

Une parole peut parfois changer une vie, non en donnant des réponses, mais en offrant un autre regard plus poétique.C’est ce qui arrive lorsqu’on lit les *Lettres à un jeune poète* de Rilke : certaines phrases éclairent des zones jusque-là ignorées, d’autres mettent des mots sur ce que nous pressentions sans pouvoir le formuler. Rilke nous touche parce qu’il a accepté sa propre solitude, et qu’il l’a explorée sans chercher à la combler. Quand il s’adresse à nous, il ne transmet pas un savoir achevé, il nous invite à écouter notre profondeur, à marcher dans nos propres zones d’ombre et de lumière. \*\*\* Exerçons ensemble notre pensée à partir des textes qui ont inspiré l’Humanité ! Véritable exercice de la pensée, cet atelier nous propose d’explorer en commun une question à partir d’un texte philosophique et ses arguments. Nous découvrirons une méthode pour entrer en profondeur dans la pensée du philosophe, dégager de nouveaux questionnements et faire des liens avec notre vie quotidienne. **Déroulé** * 1 heure et 30 minute d’étude de texte, reformulation, questions **Date et lieu** 📅 Date : Dimanche 10 mai à 17h 📍Lieu : Espace Le Moulin, 48 rue du fer à Moulin 75005 Paris 🎟️ Tarif : 7€ tarif unique

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * There's a restroom along the route at [Tuttle Park Community Center](https://maps.app.goo.gl/KTZJgLE1CrrbRNmJ7), which is about two‑thirds of the way from [Clinton-Como Park](https://maps.app.goo.gl/z8Cx8evwLiWundMe8) to our [turnback point](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZXk7qUVszLQ8EJxHA). * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries.

You can find out what is at the root of all this. This is a local event. Areas you can change with the right information: * Control of unwanted emotions * Lack of confidence * Grief * Anxiety * Anger management * Creating ideal relationships * Memory * and more... This is a local meeting that can start you on the way to a better life, more confidence and less negativity. All the happiness you have lies within you. Let's find it! 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 Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.

The emotional pain from past bad experiences easily lingers in the present, making it hard to enjoy life and create your future. Even when you think you've moved on, the negative emotions can be triggered, sending you back into the pain of that experience. And we are talking about pain; emotions such as grief, depression, anxiety, fear (or terror), boiling anger, simmering resentment, feelings of shame, blaming and regret can leave you incapacitated to a greater or lesser degree. In this local event we will be discussing the reasons why these past bad experiences have the power to affect you long after they occurred. We'll go over why the emotional pain can be so strong. We'll also discuss some simple solutions to overcome your emotional pain and be free to fully enjoy your life again. Examples of painful experiences include: * A broken relationship or divorce. * Death or loss of a loved one. * Death of a pet. * A sudden shock or bad news. * A betrayal. * Being part of an abusive relationship. * A bad injustice. * Loss of a job, position or business. * A grave illness or injury. The negative emotions from these experiences don't just go away on their own. But the good news is there is a way to clear them out of your way.
