Méditation sonore : The life song
Voix et violoncelle
Mettre le mental au repos. Bain sonore méditatif violoncelle et voix avec une préparation du corps et de l'esprit par le Qi Gong endocrinien et la respiration, selon Kar Fung Wu.
À la recherche d'un effet transformationnel optimal j'ai assemblé ce qui est relié aux fondements de la Vie et qui active le système nerveux parasympathique réparateur : la lumière par le souffle, la fluidité de l'eau par le mouvement, le son par des instruments capables de transmettre à la fois la douceur et la clarté cristalline : le violoncelle ( - le son fait résonner le bois, la matière la plus douce selon la Médecine Traditionnelle Chinoise -) et la voix humaine et des baleines( - faisant résonner un corps de mammifère vivant) dont les résonances touchent en profondeur.
Ce voyage musical s'inscrit dans le cadre des **Journées des Arts** organisées par l'école de philosophie Nouvelle Acropole. Ces journées sont une invitation à changer de regard à travers l'art. Par la beauté, le sentiment et le symbole, l'art nous conduit du visible vers l'invisible, à explorer le monde et à se transformer soi-même par l'expérience intérieure.

Zoot Collectif - Noé Codjia & Neïl Saïdi Quintet
À l’occasion des **Journée des Arts**, le Zoot Collectif est fier d’introduire l’un de ses projets les plus florissants : le quintet du trompettiste **Noé Codjia** et du saxophoniste **Neïl Saïdi.**
Les 2 acolytes se sont rencontrés en 2015 à New York pendant leurs études à la prestigieuse New School for Jazz. Pour cette soirée, ils nrevisiteront quelques pépites de leur répertoire favori et présenteront également quelques-unes de leurs compositions originales issus de leur dernier album « *Indi-Gêne* » sorti en 2025 sous le label Zoot Records.
*Line-up :*
*Noé Codjia : trompette*
*Neïl Saïdi : saxophone ténor*
*Noé Huchard : piano*
*Luca Fattorini : contrebasse*
*Malte Arndal : batterie*
**ZOOT COLLECTIF**
Véritable vivier artistique, le Zoot Collectif créé en 2016 sous l’impulsion du saxophoniste Neil Saidi, participe depuis plusieurs années au dynamisme et à la vivacité de la scène jazz française.
Ils nous ont habitués aux créations marquantes et d'envergure comme le Zoot Symphonic Orchestra au Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, le spectacle Pannonica avec Natalie Dessay, ou les différentes éditions du Zoot Fest. En 2022, Neil Saidi fonde les Zoot Studios, studio de répétition et d’enregistrement indépendant rapidement devenu un lieu très fréquenté de la scène jazz. Il permet aux musiciens du collectif d’y enregistrer leurs projets et fait franchir un cap dans le développement du label Zoot Records.
En 2024 le collectif continue donc son développement avec la création du Zoot Big Band, sous la direction artistique de Noé Codjia. L’album release a eu lieu en avril 2026 au New Morning et fut un franc succès. Le concert présentait « \*Bagages en Zoot \*», une série de 10 compostions écrites et arrangées par le trompettiste Noé Codjia. Ce nouvel opus produit par Zoot Records vient étendre un peu plus l’univers artistique du collectif.
**LES JOURNÉES DES ARTS** sont organisées par l'école de philosophie Nouvelle Acropole, comme une invitation à changer de regard à travers l'art. Par la beauté, le sentiment et le symbole, l'art nous conduit du visible vers l'invisible, à explorer le monde et à se transformer soi-même par l'expérience intérieure.

Meditation and Music - Sahaja Europe Tour
Join us for a unique evening experience combining guided meditation and live Indian bhajan music, creating a space that is both deeply peaceful and vibrantly alive and joyful.
A touring group of musicians currently traveling across Europe will be in Paris for this special gathering. They will be sharing traditional bhajans—a form of Indian devotional music—performed live with vocals, harmonium, tabla, and other instruments.
Throughout the evening, the music will be interwoven with short guided meditations, creating a rhythm between music and silence. These moments are designed to help you settle inwardly, experience calm, and observe the natural and joyful effect of music on the mind and body.
The intention is not performance in the usual sense, but an immersive experience where music becomes a support for meditation and inner awareness.
The concert will be from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Stay for a short visit or remain for the full experience. Free of charge.
This gathering is open to everyone—whether you are new to meditation, curious about world music, or simply looking for a joyful and meaningful evening in Paris.
Bilingual program: French/ English
**About Sahaja Meditation**
This is a very simple, effortless, and spontaneous meditation technique also known as Sahaja Yoga. Sahaja meaning spontaneous and Yoga meaning union with one’s true self. Through meditation we connect to our true self and feel the peace within. This happens when we reach a state of thoughtless awareness and go beyond our mind and thoughts.
Across the globe, many are seeking new sources of energy. In fact, the most transformative energy of all is hiding in plain sight, within us. It's natural, sustainable, and renewable. This energy is called Kundalini which helps us restore our balance and harmony within ourselves. It works spontaneously and effortlessly. This is a simple time-honored meditation technique that lets you tap into that energy and harness its power to become more balanced, better manage stress, and better connected to yourself - emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Sahaja Yoga has many layers, varied and deep. Explore at your own pace, in your own way.
We normally sit on chairs. There is no need for mats and no special clothing is required.
See you soon!

Drunken Philosophy: Where Is Everybody? The Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter
Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Come grab a drink and a seat at The Oracle.
**Optional topic for this meetup: Where is everybody?**
In 1950 the physicist Enrico Fermi was talking about aliens over lunch and asked a question that still has not gone away: if the universe is so vast and so old, and even a fraction of those billions of stars have planets, where is everyone? By the numbers the galaxy should be crowded with civilizations. Instead we look up and hear silence. That gap between "they should be everywhere" and "we see no one" is the Fermi Paradox.
One of the most unsettling answers is the idea of a **Great Filter**: somewhere on the road from dead chemistry to a galaxy-spanning civilization, there is at least one step that is almost impossible to get past. Maybe the filter is behind us. Maybe life starting at all, or simple cells becoming complex, or intelligence ever evolving, is the freak accident, and we already cleared the hard part. Or maybe the filter is ahead of us, and advanced civilizations reliably wipe themselves out before they spread.
Here is the part that messes with people. If we ever found life somewhere else, even pond scum on Mars, most people would call it the greatest discovery in history. But it might be the worst possible news. It would mean life is common, the early steps are easy, and the hard step is still in front of us. So the eerie silence overhead might actually be the best sign we could ask for.
**Questions to wrestle with:**
* Is it better to be alone? Would you rather we find alien life and learn we are not special, or find nothing and quietly improve our odds of surviving?
* Where do you bet the filter sits, behind us or ahead of us, and why?
* If it is ahead of us, what is it? Nuclear war, climate collapse, AI, something we cannot even picture yet? And can we do anything about a filter we cannot see coming?
* Two principles pull opposite ways here. The principle of mediocrity (the Copernican principle, Sagan's "no privileged place in the universe") says we are ordinary, so what happened on Earth probably happened everywhere, which makes the silence scream louder. The anthropic principle says of course we find ourselves somewhere life was possible, since we could not observe anything else, so our being here may say almost nothing about how common life is. Which lens do you trust, and does the silence still demand an answer once you account for observer selection?
* And if we did confirm life out there and had to accept we are not special, what would that do to belief in a higher power, and would shedding (or keeping) that belief help or hurt our odds of pulling together as one species?
* Does any of this change how you live, or how humanity should be spending its time and money right now?
As always the prompt is optional. Come for the conversation, stay for the drinks, and bring your own questions.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.
