🍩🍰 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 !!! 🤗

Nous poursuivons le cycle consacré à Marcel Proust avec le 4e volume de la "Recherche" soit : **"Sodome et Gomorrhe" - Fin du volume** "C'est le prélude à une étude brûlante sur la descendance innombrable des habitants des cités bibliques à laquelle appartiennent presque tous les personnages de La Recherche. Ducs, princes, aristocrates et bourgeois, domestiques et gens du peuple, entrent dans l'immense colonie alors clandestine. Albertine n'y échappe pas, lesbienne secrète, dont les mœurs sont le motif principal de la jalousie névrotique de Marcel...." Babelio Pour la présentation d'auteur et de la "Recherche". \- Raphaële va nous parler de M\. Proust et de "La Recherche" en privilégiant l'angle philosophique\. Pour le focus sur l'oeuvre : \- Je fais le focus sur l'oeuvre\. Et n'oubliez pas ! Partagez, si vous 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. Enfin, inscrivez-vous, je vous prie, uniquement si vous êtes sûrs de la partie. Bien à vous tous, bonne semaine, bonnes lectures aussi et à bientôt ! Jélila PS : la participation au club de lecture est de 2 euros par personne et par an (les cotisations Meetup sont de 240 euros par an). Mais elle reste facultative.

L’improvisation, c’est un peu comme sauter dans le vide… mais avec un trampoline en dessous. Ce que vous allez découvrir ici, c’est que vous avez déjà tout ce qu’il faut en vous : de la créativité, de l’écoute, de l’imagination… et surtout, une bonne dose de courage. L’impro, c’est aussi un formidable outil pour développer la confiance en soi, l’écoute des autres et la capacité à lâcher prise. Et oui, ça veut dire qu’on va sortir un peu de notre zone de confort. Mais rassurez-vous : on est tous là pour la même chose, et ce que vous direz, ferez, tenterez ici, restera dans un cadre bienveillant et sans jugement. Alors, faites-vous confiance, faites confiance au groupe… et surtout, amusez-vous ! Prêts à plonger ? Allez, c’est parti ! Les modalités vous seront communiquées par mp. Une participation de 10 euros sera à régler. Nous déclinons toute responsabilité, en cas d’incident. L’équipe d’organisation

**Ahoy there,** The next full moon picnic will be Sun Feb 1st, from 5 - 6:30 PM. Moonrise will be around 5:40 PM. I’m in Colorado so you’ll be warmly hosted and toasted by my charming side-kick, Catherine. This full moon was known as known to American Indians as the Full Snow Moon. It was also known to unsuccessful hunters as the Full Hunger Moon. **WHAT**: Everyone brings food and drink to share. You will be most warmly received if you bring hot chocolate, spiced wine, coffee, tea, etc. **WHERE**: Pont des Arts. We'll gather around a bench near the middle of the bridge. Nearest metros: Pont Neuf and Louvre-Rivoli. **WHEN**: Sun Feb 1st, from 5 - 6:30 pm **WHY**: Share one of the most memorable sights in Paris with some of the nicest people around. **WHO**: You and your friends. **HOW** to find us: Look for a group of laughing “lunatics" speaking English and French around a bench near the middle of the bridge. No telescope this time. **THEME**: Febrrrruary **PUZZLER**: There is no puzzler again this month. I was moaning about how much rabbit-hole time it takes me to come up with a puzzler each month - even though I really enjoy learning new things about our cosmos. Someone suggested the obvious solution - just stop posing puzzlers, duh! Which makes a lot of sense cuz I know the vast majority of recipients don’t actually read the email, except perhaps to check the upcoming date (in the subject heading). So since you indeed have read this far, please send a message and tell me whether it’s worth continuing to pose those puzzlers. **PUZZLER ANSWER**: The answer is in your hands. 🤣 Ciao for niao, **Captain Bob**

Inspired by the successful events like "Pot Luck in the Park" and "Saturday Mornings @ East Market," this meetup promises a fun and engaging atmosphere where like-minded individuals can connect over a shared love for languages and cultures. Whether you're a language learner, ESL student, or simply passionate about exploring new cultures, this event is perfect for anyone looking to immerse themselves in a diverse and welcoming community. Come join us for an enlightening afternoon of language, culture, food, of course, and connections! (Everyone will individually choose from the buffet and pay for their own meal, by weight.)

Dale Gnidovec, Curator of the Orton Hall Museum of Geology at The Ohio State University, will be presenting a program he has wanted to share with us for a long time: Plate Tectonics. His description of his program: Continents on the move - Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents - it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. This talk examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven. Dale is an energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very entertaining speaker and this will be another wonderful program by Dale. Hope to see you there! Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

Hey Everyone! Let's meet at Paris Baguette on Lane Avenue. There is lots of free parking and easy access to the cafe and many shops and restaurants as well. This is a great way to meet new and old friends while chatting about life and practicing English language speaking skills. All are welcome and encouraged to join us anytime between 11am and 1pm. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
