Cosy Cave Conversations // 10ème // Café philo in English
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 🐥

Sagesse de Chine : Lao Tseu et Confucius - comment vivre sans se perdre ?
Sagesse de Chine : Lao Tseu et Confucius - comment vivre sans se perdre ?
https://www.eventbrite.fr/e/billets-lao-tzi-et-confucius-dragons-de-sagesse-1982076349718?aff=oddtdtcreator Dans un monde traversé par la fatigue morale, la confusion des repères et la fragilisation du lien social, une question devient urgente : **comment vivre sans se perdre ?** La tradition chinoise nous offre une mise en tension féconde entre deux figures majeures : **Lao Tseu** et **Confucius**. Pour Lao Tseu, la Voie (*Dao*) invite à revenir à la simplicité, à s’accorder au rythme du vivant, à pratiquer le *wu wei* — cette action juste qui ne force rien et laisse advenir l’ordre naturel. Pour Confucius, la Voie se construit dans l’effort moral, l’attention aux rites, la responsabilité assumée au cœur de la cité. Deux réponses à une même inquiétude humaine. Deux manières d’habiter le monde : l’une par l’harmonie avec le souffle invisible des choses, l’autre par la construction patiente du lien et de la justice. À l’heure où nos sociétés oscillent entre quête d’authenticité personnelle et besoin urgent de reconstruction du lien collectif, cette conférence propose une mise en tension vivante de ces deux sagesses Non pour les opposer stérilement. Mais pour interroger notre propre manière d’habiter la Vie. * **Horaire** : 19h30 * **Tarif** : 2 billets pour 10 euros **Nous retrouver : 12 rue Falguière, 75015 Paris (métro Falguière ou Montparnasse)**

Breathwork et Cacao. Harmonie du féminin et du masculin. 8 Mars.
Breathwork et Cacao. Harmonie du féminin et du masculin. 8 Mars.
**Cérémonie Breathwork & Cacao** Réconcilier le féminin et le masculin. **Dimanche8 mars – 18h30 à 20h45** **Adresse : 64 Rue des Tournelles 75003** **Inscription nécessaire via le lien** **https://www.billetweb.fr/breathwork-et-cacao56** La respiration connectée est une pratique de transformation profonde, qui agit par le souffle, le corps et la conscience. Il ne s’agit pas d’hyperventilation, mais d’une respiration fluide et continue — sans pause entre l’inspire et l’expire. Ce rythme ouvre un état intérieur particulier de conscience modifié, où les tensions, émotions ou mémoires accumulées peuvent se libérer naturellement. Il s’agit de libérer l’espace occupé par le passé pour retrouver notre essence vivante dans le présent — là où tout peut être recréé. Le breathwork agit en profondeur sur notre système nerveux, allégeant les automatismes de fuite, de lutte, de figement et de soumission ou recherche d’approbation. De là renaît une capacité créative, libre et ouverte face à la vie. Le Cacao soutient ce processus en douceur et en amplifie la profondeur et l'intégration. Cependant la prise de Cacao est facultative. La musique, le tambour et un toucher discret viennent soutenir la libération des nœuds énergétiques. Inspirée du Rebirthing et de la Respiration Holotropique, cette approche s’adresse à celles et ceux qui souhaitent : alléger ce qui limite leur énergie vitale, ce qui restreint leur perception et leur réponse à la vie, calmer le mental et le stress, ressentir davantage d’unité entre le corps, le cœur et l’esprit, connecter les profondeurs de leur être. La respiration connectée que je propose est une synergie intégrative entre la puissance exploratoire transpersonnelle de la respiration holotropique, et la libération émotionnelle du rebirthing. " Ce processus apparemment simple, combinant respiration, musique évocatrice et d’autres formes de son, possède un potentiel extraordinaire pour ouvrir la voie à l’exploration de tout le spectre du monde intérieur. » — Stanislav Grof Aucune expérience préalable n’est nécessaire. Chaque session est une exploration guidée et sécurisée, accompagnée par la musique, la présence, et le tambour. Participation : 50 € Participation petits budgets ( RSA, chomage ) 35 € Infos : [ilariainscriptions@gmail.com](mailto:ilariainscriptions@gmail.com) [ilariarubei.com](http://www.ilariarubei.com/)

Wine Tasting - Newcomers Night
Wine Tasting - Newcomers Night
This is "***New Members Night***." If you are one of the many folks on the fence about coming to your first wine tasting with the *Hilliard Wine Club*, this is the night to come. There will be many other new people, so you won't be alone. And the regulars will be there to help make you feel welcome. We're a relaxed and warm group. We hope to see you. **SIDE NOTE:** New members are welcome to ALL our Friday night wine tastings, but this night is a special overture to those who don't want to feel that they are the only new person in the room. Don't worry. You won't be. And don't hesitate to RSVP to other events. **OLD MEMBERS NOTE**: Hey Old Members! You're not excluded from this event. We expect to see you there to help make the new members feel welcome. **Sample 4 different wines** this Friday for $15 (*Cash or Venmo only please*). Glasses are provided. Bring a snack to share. Bring a bottle to share if you care to. See all the details below for the Hilliard Wine Club Wine Tasting. In Person. In Real Life. Actual Wine from glass bottles with corks and everything. **Wine**: Tastings will be $15 for four samples as always. And you are welcome to bring a bottle of your favorite wine to share with others. Participation in the wine tastings is optional. But since you’re going, I will buy enough wine to cover you. If you bring your own wine and do not participate in the tasting you will only pay $10 to cover the door charge. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **Extra Wine**: After everyone has had their samples, we remove the pouring spouts and any remaining wine is poured freely to whomever wants it. I hate having leftover wine. **Queen of Hearts**: The Queen of Hearts raffle is a fundraiser for the club and a Barnum and Bailey type extravaganza - minus the dancing ponies, clowns, and actual circus. Bring your ***cash*** as the Queen does not accept American Express or other plastic. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*
Humanist Program: Fighting the Efforts to Insert Religion into Public Education
Humanist Program: Fighting the Efforts to Insert Religion into Public Education
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association: They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved. 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

# **Band and caller TBA** Beginner lesson at 1:30, regular dancing begins at 2:00 pm NOTE THAT WE ARE TEMPORARILY DANCING IN THE AFTERNOON INSTEAD OF EVENING. Dance with us in the afternoon then you can still go out in the evening! **Sponsor: All Soles Contra and Square Dancing, First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Rd., Columbus OH 43214** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 1:30 - 2:00, followed by dancing 2:00 - 430. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. Please bring your own refillable water bottle.
