This avoids anyone showing up uncertain.

**Just Gutsy** is a global community for solo travelers who are free spirited, love exploring the world believe that real connections make the best memories.
Hi, I am Syrine,
I started solo traveling in 2018 and it changed my life, from introvert to extrovert. Along the way, I loved meeting people, but also felt how hard it can be to find connection when traveling alone.
Iâm building Just Gutsy so no one has to feel alone on the road â and so anyone whoâs still shy to take that first step has a welcoming place to start. đ

Transformez vos rĂȘves en actions
Et si vos rĂȘves - petits ou grands - devenaient enfin rĂ©alitĂ© ?
Vous avez souvent des idĂ©es, des rĂȘves âdans la tĂȘteâ⊠mais qui ne se concrĂ©tisent pas. Pourquoi ? Parce quâil y a la peur, la fatigue, le jugement, le âpas maintenantâ, le âje nây arriverai jamaisâ, ou le âje ne sais pas par oĂč commencerâ.
Les rĂȘves prennent forme, un pas aprĂšs lâautre. Et lâaction booste la confiance !
Dans cet atelier :
* Explorez vos motivations profondes ainsi que vos freins.
* Apprenez à structurer vos idées pour en faire des projets clairs.
Vous repartez avec :
* Un objectif reformulé de maniÚre claire.
* Une motivation interne boostée.
* Un plan dâactions dĂ©clinĂ© en micro-Ă©tapes.
* Un premier engagement concret à réaliser dans la semaine.

đ QUI SOMMES NOUS ? đ
« Et si au lieu dâĂ©couter toutes ces personnes qui nous expliquent combien tout va mal, nous nous rassemblerions pour Ă©riger un monde meilleur ? »
Au sein dâune sociĂ©tĂ© divisĂ©e et fragilisĂ©e, il est temps de replacer lâhumain au centre du systĂšme et des interactions. Beaucoup de personnes aspirent Ă redonner du sens Ă leur existence et leur cheminement, Ă sâaccomplir, Ă atteindre leurs rĂȘves, et non ceux de la sociĂ©tĂ© ou de leur entourage. Pour cela, il est important de revenir Ă lâessentiel : savoir "qui je suis" pour savoir "oĂč je vais" en respectant mes valeurs et mes aspirations.
La Wise Community est une communautĂ© solidaire, multigĂ©nĂ©rationnelle, qui rassemble les personnes de bien en quĂȘte de sens et de lien social. Notre vocation : agir ensemble, avec le cĆur, pour un monde meilleur. GrĂące Ă notre Ă©cosystĂšme de partenaires intervenant auprĂšs de diffĂ©rents publics, nous offrons lâopportunitĂ©, de :

\*\*\*
Sans mĂȘme nous en apercevoir,
nous sommes souvent guidées par des automatismes de défense, comme l' évitement, le figement, l'attaque, la préoccupation de faire plaisir, la culpabilité toxique et ses multiples expressions, etc.
Des réflexes anciens qui ne sont plus la réponse adaptée à la vie, mais qui semblent nous conduire, malgré nous.
Notre unicité se replie,
notre expression se filtre,
et notre vie devient plus petite que ce que nous portons réellement.
Le breathwork agit comme un espace de permission accordĂ©e, oĂč le corps peut enfin relĂącher ces mĂ©moires,
oĂč le systĂšme nerveux peut retrouver de la sĂ©curitĂ©,
et oĂč, doucement,
ce qui était retenu peut recommencer à circuler.
Le systÚme nerveux ne fait pas la différence
entre un danger rĂ©elâŠ
et une blessure ancienne qui se réactive.
Une situation ordinaire qui active une ancienne mémoire, et sans s'en apercevoir le corps bascule en mode survie :
fuite, lutte, figement.
Cela arrive Ă chacun de nous.
Non pas parce que quelque chose ne va pas â
mais parce que notre systÚme a appris à nous protéger ainsi.
\*\*\*
Respirer peut devenir un chemin de retour.
Le breathwork parle directement au corps, lĂ oĂč la comprĂ©hension mentale ne suffit plus.
En respirant consciemment, nous envoyons un message de sécurité au systÚme nerveux.
Peu Ă peu :
âą les rĂ©actions automatiques sâapaisent
âą le corps relĂąche ce quâil retenait
âą un espace de prĂ©sence sâouvre
âą davantage de choix devient possible
Respirer devient alors un passage â
de la survie⊠vers la vie.
\*\*\*
Ce que cet espace permet :
âą reconnaĂźtre lorsque le mode survie sâactive
⹠apaiser les réponses nerveuses liées aux blessures
âą relĂącher les tensions inscrites dans le corps
⹠retrouver un état de régulation profond
\*\*\*
La pratique
La respiration connectée est un processus de transformation qui agit à la fois sur le souffle, le corps et la conscience.
Le rythme est fluide et continu, ouvrant un Ă©tat de prĂ©sence oĂč tensions, Ă©motions et mĂ©moires peuvent se libĂ©rer naturellement.
Le cacao cĂ©rĂ©moniel â facultatif â accompagne ce mouvement avec douceur et soutient lâintĂ©gration.
La musique, le tambour et un toucher discret viennent soutenir ce qui cherche Ă se remettre en circulation.
\*\*\*
Comme lâĂ©crit Stanislav Grof :
*"Ce processus, apparemment simple, possÚde un potentiel extraordinaire pour explorer tout le spectre du monde intérieur."*
\*\*\*
Cet atelier sâadresse Ă celles et ceux qui ressentent lâĂ©lan de :
âą apaiser le stress et le mental
âą retrouver de lâespace intĂ©rieur
âą allĂ©ger ce qui entrave lâĂ©nergie vitale
âą se sentir plus vivants
Aucune expĂ©rience prĂ©alable nâest nĂ©cessaire.
Chaque session est guidée avec présence et sécurité.

Deep Talk / In English
đ©đ° Let's have a weekly deep talk in an intimate Parisian cafĂ©, share a drink and have a good time with like-minded, lovely and chill people. đ„â
We're here to sip life in a childish, simple and non-serious way. đ
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.
â
This group is adressed to :
â 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.
â 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 ....
â Please don't subscribe if :
â You don't see yourself in the group's aims and beliefs.
â You're travelling for a short period of time and don't live or intend to live in Paris.
â 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 :
â â 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.
â đ We keep the session small, cosy and relaxed in a quiet place, prioritising regularity to encourage intimacy, connection, listening and speaking. (\~ 5/6 people)
â đ 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.
â đ 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.
â đ (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 :
â 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.
â Ask open-ended questions and invite the other person to describe what a situation was like for them or how they felt.
â 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.
â 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.
â Listen actively and ask follow-up questions.
â Be empathetic and offer emotional validation so that they feel seen and heard.
It is forbidden to judge, but try to understand.
â â± Be aware of your speaking time for Equally Speak.
â đ€« 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.
â đš 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 !!! đ€

Free In-person Meeting: Unwanted Emotions & Loneliness, How to Get Over Them
This is an in-person meeting.
Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation donât just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance.
Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you.
The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life.
For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues.
So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them?
That is what this meeting will be all about.
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life.
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 of Central Ohio.

How to Get Over Losses and Betrayls & Build Lasting Relationships
Join us for this free, in person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships.
Do you want more motivation and confidence to build lasting relationships?
Are you burdened by a stressful relationship?
Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to âpin the blameâ on someone or something. If you donât find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival, while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, donât know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe youâve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
âą How to âeraseâ the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isnât always repeating past mistakes.
âą Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
âą Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
âą Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
âą Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
âą What underlies âcorrosive criticismâ or the need to invalidate self or others?
âą How one can stably change oneâs outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
âą Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
âą How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
âą How to enhance oneâs own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or oneâs career?
Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
Learn where painful experiences are âstoredâ and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can âeraseâ those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become âtoxicâ personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you wonât be tripped up trusting the wrong person.
Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.
We look forward to having you join us!

Free In-Person Events: How to Let Go of the Past and Move Forward
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.

This group is sponsored the Dianetics & Scientology Self-Improvement Center.
