☕ Café Philo Paris — English Edition A philosophical discussion space open to everyone — no prerequisites, no judgment, no dogma. Each session explores a different theme through concrete questions that touch our lives, our beliefs, and our relationship with the world. This is neither a lecture nor a class: we meet, we think out loud together, and each person freely shares their experience and perspective. ✅ Format * Intimate circle discussion — everyone speaks freely * Open exchange in a climate of listening and respect * Duration: approximately 2 hours * 12 people maximum per session to preserve the quality of exchanges 🎟️ Participation: €5 — Registration secures your spot and helps maintain a welcoming and respectful atmosphere. From time to time, special editions are organised — different formats, different settings, sometimes free. This picnic session is one of them. 🌿 Special Edition — Picnic in the Park Instead of a café, we're taking the conversation outside. Bring something to share, sit on the grass, and let's talk about life under the open sky. 🎙️ Topic : "Do we really need to know where we're going?" To get you thinking before we meet : * Is feeling lost a failure — or the beginning of something real? * Do you actually know what you want, or do you just know what you're supposed to want? * Have you ever chosen a path just to stop people from asking questions? * If nobody expected anything from you, what would you do with your life? * Are you building the life you want, or the life that makes sense to others? * Do you trust yourself enough to not know — and keep going anyway? * 7 spots only * Free entry — just bring food or drinks to share * 7th arrondissement, Paris — exact location shared once registered * 📩 To join this session, contact Josh directly on WhatsApp : 👉 [https://wa.me/33649853900](https://wa.me/33649853900) Send the message "picnic paris" and he'll send you all the details. 📲 Want to stay updated on future sessions?

Hi Badminton Fans! Come and join us every Saturday for a fun session of badminton. **This session is open for lower intermediates and above (no complete beginners allowed).** What that means is that you should have a grasp of doubles gameplay and be comfortable with short serves at minimum. **What Do You Need** Don't worry about equipment; racquets and shuttlecocks are provided, and there's no need for a badminton license or insurance. Just bring your indoor sports shoes and a willingness to meet new friends and have lots of fun. There are changing rooms and showers. **Get There Early** Try to get there early to change and warm up so we can start right on time. **Registration & Payments** Registration is 12€ per person, and you can sign up via PayPal through this event page. For alternative payments, check for available slots on the event page first. Then, submit your payment via https://revolut.me/nishuastic with a description of which event you are signing up for, and send the screenshot to one of us so that we can add you. *Please note: If your name is **not** in the attendees list and you do not have confirmation from us, you will be turned away.* **Annual Membership Option** For regular players, there is the option to take out an annual membership. This costs 80€ for the first year and is renewable for 40€ each year. This reduces the weekly registration fee to only 10€ per session. **No Refunds** In the case of a cancellation or no-show, there are no refunds. See you all on the court on Sunday. Happy badminton-ing! Nischay (0780827985) and Vijay (0767341832) **FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS** 1. I don’t speak French, can I join? * Yes! We are an international group, and everyone speaks English! 2. Are there still available slots? I can’t sign up! Help! * Check the bottom of the event page for availabilities. Once full, RSVPs will be closed. Sign up as early as possible because the events fill up very quickly. 3. I signed up, but I can’t make it! Can I get a refund? * No refunds for cancellations or no-shows. If you inform us early enough, we can try to find a substitute and issue a refund, but no guarantees. 4. Why can’t I get a refund? * We need a fixed number of participants to maximize court usage, court fees, team arrangements, and team rotations. Cancellations throw all of this off. 5. Do I need to bring anything? Water? Racquets? Birdies? * If you have your own racquet, that will be best! Otherwise, we have spare ones, and we provide the shuttlecocks. Bring enough water to hydrate yourself.

For the meeting in May, we'll read and discuss **What my bones know: A memoir of a complex trauma by Stephanie Foo** Description from Goodreads: *By age thirty, Stephanie Foo was successful on paper: She had her dream job as an award-winning radio producer at This American Life and a loving boyfriend. But behind her office door, she was having panic attacks and sobbing at her desk every morning. After years of questioning what was wrong with herself, she was diagnosed with complex PTSD—a condition that occurs when trauma happens continuously, over the course of years.* *Both of Foo's parents abandoned her when she was a teenager, after years of physical and verbal abuse and neglect. She thought she'd moved on, but her new diagnosis illuminated the way her past continued to threaten her health, relationships, and career. She found limited resources to help her, so Foo set out to heal herself, and to map her experiences onto the scarce literature about C-PTSD.* *In this deeply personal and thoroughly researched account, Foo interviews scientists and psychologists and tries a variety of innovative therapies. She returns to her hometown of San Jose, California, to investigate the effects of immigrant trauma on the community, and she uncovers family secrets in the country of her birth, Malaysia, to learn how trauma can be inherited through generations. Ultimately, she discovers that you don't move on from trauma—but you can learn to move with it.* *Powerful, enlightening, and hopeful, What My Bones Know is a brave narrative that reckons with the hold of the past over the present, the mind over the body—and examines one woman's ability to reclaim agency from her trauma.* **\*New to book club? You're welcome to join our discussion. We'll discuss our thoughts on the book and share related topics.** **\*Discussions held 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 !!! 🤗

➡️ Réservation obligatoire depuis la billetterie : https://www.eventbrite.fr/e/1982398645714?aff=oddtdtcreator Pour dialoguer en profondeur, sur une question philosophique, en lien avec l’actualité. ☕ Les rencontres CAFÉ PHILO de l'Espace Falguière☕ 💬 Pour dialoguer en profondeur, sur une question philosophique, en lien avec l’actualité. 🙋 Exercer sa pensée, pratiquer l'art de l'écoute et de la reformulation. 💚 Pendant cette période particulière que nous traversons, le besoin d'échanger sur des sujets profonds se fait essentiel ! L'actualité, à la fois riche et tragique, donne beaucoup de matière à réfléchir. Réfléchir... ou simplement réagir en pensant ses émotions ? C'est ce que nous verrons à travers nos prochains cafés philo, qui auront lieu dans notre espace. *Ouvert à tous* *Tarif : 7 euros (boisson incluse)*

Café Philo Paris Thème : La paix — est-ce vraiment quelque chose qu'on peut atteindre ? On parle souvent de paix comme d'un idéal universel. Paix dans le monde, paix intérieure, paix dans nos relations... Mais dans le quotidien, la paix semble souvent fragile, éphémère, voire impossible à maintenir durablement. On évite des sujets pour ne pas créer de conflits. On ravale des vérités pour préserver une harmonie de surface. On se dit qu'on est "en paix" avec quelque chose... jusqu'au jour où on réalise que non. Et si la vraie paix n'était pas l'absence de conflit, mais quelque chose de bien plus complexe et difficile à atteindre ? Questions qu'on va explorer 💬 * Comment définiriez-vous la paix ? Est-ce un état intérieur, une absence de conflit, ou autre chose ? * Considérez-vous être en paix actuellement — et si oui, pour quelles raisons ? * La paix est-elle un idéal à atteindre pour tout individu, ou certaines personnes s'en passent-elles volontairement ? * Les conflits ruinent-ils notre paix — ou parfois, au contraire, nous permettent-ils d'en trouver une plus profonde ? * Les non-dits dans une relation préservent-ils la paix d'un couple, ou finissent-ils inévitablement par la détruire ? * Êtes-vous le genre de personne à dire une vérité difficile au risque de provoquer un conflit — ou préférez-vous vous taire pour préserver la paix ? * Peut-on vraiment être en paix avec soi-même sans l'être avec les autres ? * La paix intérieure s'apprend-elle, ou est-ce une disposition qu'on a ou qu'on n'a pas ? * Comme d'habitude : discussion ouverte, profonde et sans jugement. Tous les avis sont les bienvenus 🎯 Infos pratiques : 📅 Dimanche 31 mai – 15h 👥 15 personnes max 💰 5€ 📍 Adresse du café dans le mail de confirmation 👉 Inscription obligatoire sur Eventbrite : [https://www.eventbrite.fr/e/1985236291188?aff=oddtdtcreator](https://www.eventbrite.fr/e/1985236291188?aff=oddtdtcreator) ⚠️ Bien sélectionner la date du 31 mai 📱 Rejoins le groupe WhatsApp pour les prochaines sessions : [https://chat.whatsapp.com/HvMMImJeJZnCZ7qeZ3uq3x?mode=gi_t](https://chat.whatsapp.com/HvMMImJeJZnCZ7qeZ3uq3x?mode=gi_t) Au plaisir de te voir ! 😁

**A meetup for neurodivergent adults in Paris.** I’m neurodivergent myself, and I haven’t found the kind of space I’d actually want to go to here — especially in English. So I’m starting one. This is for people with ADHD, autism, AuDHD, OCD — or if you just feel like your brain works a bit differently. No diagnosis needed. **🧠 What to expect** * Small group * Low-pressure * You don’t have to be social * Come and go as you like * English Spoken **Each meetup has a loose theme** — just something to orbit around if conversation stalls. For this one: > **“Paris is a lot — how are you finding it?”** That could mean: * daily routines * work * social life * or just… surviving the metro No pressure to talk about it — it’s just there if useful.

P. Desmichel - Tricheuse (Premier roman, en présence de l'autrice) Et si le monde universitaire était en surchauffe ? Juste après sa thèse et la naissance de sa fille, Vanessa décroche une bourse d’études pour les États-Unis. Un rêve pour cette chercheuse issue d’une banlieue parisienne modeste qui, en intégrant la prestigieuse université de Chicago, va pouvoir côtoyer les pontes qui forcent son admiration et, elle l’espère, publier ses travaux au plus haut niveau académique. Proposition de lecture parallèle pour découvrir le maître du "campus novel": D. Lodge - Un tout petit monde (Best Seller des années 80) Où sont les campus d'antan où des professeurs de lettres besogneux erraient comme des âmes en peine entre les salles de cours, la bibliothèque et la salle des professeurs, l'intelligence en jachère, le cœur en sommeil ?

Bienvenue à tous ! La méditation du cœur est une technique simple et pratique. En quelques minutes, vous apprendrez à vous détendre véritablement et à ressentir la légèreté et la joie. Vous n'avez pas besoin de savoir comment méditer ni croire en un système ou une philosophie particulière. Venez et faîtes l'expérience. C'est tout ! A dimanche prochain !

Bonjour ! Il reste 2 places pour la session de constellations familiales : * **samedi 30 mai 9h30 - 13h30** * **67 rue de Charenton - Paris 12e** * **groupe d’une douzaine de personnes** * **25€** **Être représentant·e : transformer aussi quelque chose pour soi** Dans une constellation, personne n’est choisi·e au hasard. Même lorsque les participant·es ne se connaissent pas, des résonances étonnantes apparaissent entre le rôle incarné et l’histoire personnelle du ou de la représentant·e. Être représentant·e, c’est donc : * contribuer au processus de transformation d’une autre personne, * tout en vivant soi-même un mouvement intérieur en lien avec son propre système familial. Chaque participant·e est ainsi engagé·e à la fois individuellement et collectivement dans l’expérience. Et c’est précisément cette dimension de résonance et de solidarité humaine qui rend cette approche si puissante et touchante. Si tu souhaites vivre une expérience collective d’exploration des dynamiques familiales et transgénérationnelles, ou si tu as des questions sur la session, écris-moi directement ! Bonne semaine, Blandine Heude

Communication is everything in life! You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate. 1266 Dublin Road, Columbus, OH 43215 Hosted by the Church of Scientology of Central Ohio For more information, contact Rhiannon, the Event Host at 614-221-5024

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in 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 & Scientology life improvement center.

Main Library, Meeting Room 2B Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation. We’ll begin with a short grounding moment, followed by a brief reading from spiritual or philosophical traditions, and an open reflection circle where participants can share (or simply listen). Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. All backgrounds are welcome.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t 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.

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.
