**Anne, 55, is enjoying her newfound freedom now that her kids have left. She finally focuses on herself – her career, independence, love life. But everything shifts when her 23-year-old daughter Louise moves back home after a failed start-up and a breakup, bringing hopes, frustrations, and big ambitions. The house fills again with laughter, tension, noise. Then her son Théo announces she’s about to become a grandmother. Amid generational clashes and new beginnings, Anne realises life rarely follows the plan.**

Social Run : Courir en conscience
Et si la course était un moyen de mieux se connaître ?
Le Socrate Social Run, c’est un format simple :
* 7 km en groupe
* Allure accessible (\~6 min/km)
* Un temps d’échange après la course
* Un moment convivial
Ici, on ne vient pas chercher un chrono.
On vient vivre une expérience.
Le concept :
Courir ensemble, être attentif à son souffle, à ses sensations, à ses pensées qui apparaissent dans l’effort.
Des exercices pratiques pour voir comment le mental peut être un allié dans l'effort.
Le module explore les thématiques suivantes :
* Comprendre sa relation à l’effort physique,
* Repérer ses automatismes (comparaison, impatience, découragement, manque de souffle),
* Découvrir ses ressources naturelles,
* Apprendre à écouter son rythme,
* Expérimenter l’alignement entre corps, souffle et attention pour donner le meilleur.
Après la course :
Un débrief simple et concret pour partager ce qui a été vécu, croiser les regards, approfondir l’expérience entre coureurs.
Puis un moment convivial autour d’une boisson
La vérité sur le développement personnel
**La vérité sur le développement personnel**
Tu as fait du coaching. De la thérapie. Des formations. Des affirmations positives. La méditation. Le journaling.
Tu travailles sur toi mais tu n'obtiens pas les résultats concrets. Et quelque chose résiste encore.
Le développement personnel, tel qu'on nous le vend, traite les symptômes. Jamais la source.
Dans cet atelier, je te donne les 5 idées reçues qui génèrent plus d'anxiété qu'elles ne libèrent. Et je t'explique comment j'ai utilisé la manifestation pour écrire et publier mon livre après avoir tout perdu à 50 ans. Licenciement. Divorce. RSA.
Depuis 10 ans, 700+ personnes accompagnées. Confiance retrouvée. Sérénité installée. Potentiel révélé.
On explore ensemble ce qui marche vraiment quand on touche la racine.
**Informations pratiques :**
📅 Samedi 14 mars 2026
⏱️ 14h.
Merci d'arriver 5-10 min en avance
📍 Centre de Paris - adresse communiquée après inscription
🎁 Cet atelier est offert. Une surprise t'attend sur place.

Rencontre autour d'un café
**French version**
Hey,
Bienvenu pour cette première réunion!
Cette rencontre aura lieu dans un café près de Châtelet afin que tout le monde puisse s'y rendre facilement.
Nous commencerons par une table ronde afin d'apprendre à mieux nous connaître. Je pense que cela nous aidera également à déterminer les sujets que nous pourrions aborder ce jour-là en fonction des présentations. N'hésitez pas à mentionner un sujet si vous souhaitez aborder un point en particulier.
Nous profiterons de cette première session pour déterminer le format de nos futures réunions. Est-il préférable de garder une conversation informelle sans préparation préalable ou vaut-il mieux choisir un sujet en se basant sur la lecture d'une partie d'un livre ou article avant chaque réunion?
Hate de vous voir lors de ce premier café :)
Jacques
**English version**
Hey,
Nice to see you there!
This first meeting will be set in a cafe next to Chatelet to make it easy for everyone to access the place.
We'll start with a round table to get to know a bit more about everyone. I think also it will help to see what topic we could bring up for that day based on the presentation. Feel free to mention a topic if there is something you specifically want to bring up.
We'll use also this first session as a way to determine the future format of our meeting. Do we want to keep conversation casual with no early preparation or do we want to read books and use chapters as a way to bring every time a different topic.
Hoping to see you at the cafe :)
Jacques

Deep Talk / In English
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 !!!

Donuts, 1:1 Entrepreneur Chats & Deep Work @ MLK Library
**This is a relaxed but intentional Saturday hangout for young entrepreneurs.**
***Note:*** *Only 10 spots are available to RSVP on Meetup, but the event capacity is **40 people total**. Please join the waitlist and I will approve additional attendees until we reach the 40-person limit.*
We’ll meet at MLK Library for donuts, co-working, and structured 1:1 conversations.
Instead of sharing in front of the whole group, we’ll rotate through casual 1:1 chats where you can:
• Talk through a business blocker or something you want to improve
• Get perspective and ideas from others on how to move forward (whether that’s getting through the blocker or executing the improvement)
After the 1:1 rotations, we won’t just leave with ideas -
we’ll actually start working on the thing you discussed, using the perspective and ideas you received to begin moving through the blocker or executing the improvement.
Whether that’s:
– Fixing your landing page
– Outlining your launch
– Sending the email you’ve been avoiding
– Or clarifying the path forward on something you’ve been stuck on
**You’ll leave having made real progress.**
No pressure. Just entrepreneurs helping each other move forward - and then actually putting in the work.
Bring:
• Your laptop
• One thing you’re ready to improve
• An open mind
I’ll bring the donuts ;)
**If you want to build things with people - not alone - this is for you.**

Profs & Pints Northern Virginia: The Secrets of Runes
[Profs and Pints Northern Virginia](https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc) presents: **“The Secrets of Runes,”** on the origins, development, and interpretation of the runic script, with Lilla Kopár, runologist and a professor of medieval literature and culture at Catholic University.
[Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-rune-secrets](https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-rune-secrets) .]
The fame of runes outshines that of any other ancient script. They can be found not just on Viking Age rune stones, but on Bilbo’s door and as the Bluetooth logo on your cell phone. Runic script is commonly associated with magic, used by modern practitioners of neopaganism, and in recent decades has captured the imagination of filmmakers and video game designers.
Yet most of us know little about the historical origins of runes and have no clue how to read or use them.
Come to Crooked Run Fermentation in Sterling, Va., to get schooled on runic script with the help of Lilla Kopár, a veteran scholar of runes who has earned a following among Profs and Pints fans by giving fantastic talks on medieval monsters and Norse mythology. As someone who has carried out extensive field research on runes, published several articles on runic objects, and even appeared on the History Channel commenting on runes in America, she’s exceptionally qualified to introduce you to runology and the fascinating things that runes tell us.
Dr Kopár will discuss the development of runic script from its humble origins on the borders of the Roman Empire in the first or second century CE, through its popularity in the Viking world, to its use and misuse in modern times. She’ll discuss how runes are a set of related alphabets that underwent changes over time and she’ll describe what inspired changes in this writing system and where and how runes were used in the medieval period.
Her richly illustrated talk will highlight some of the most intriguing objects with runic inscriptions, from humble bone fragments to impressive rune stones, and offer insight into the scholarly methods of deciphering and interpreting runic inscriptions. We’ll also look at the function of the runic script from simple practical notes and memorial inscriptions to cipher-runes and magic.
The most fun might be the in-class assignment, which will involve reading a few runic inscriptions and writing your name and other words in runes. (Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. Talk starts 30 minutes later.)
