The Dissident Salon - Poetry, Prose, and Provocation by Alissa Leeds
The Dissident Salon is a weekly poetry and performance series created as an extension of the DISSIDENT Club’s mission to provide a home for dissenting voices, hosted by Alissa Leeds. Rooted in the tradition of the literary salon, it treats writing and performance as public acts that question power and challenge the systems that shape our lives.
Each week features a curated performer, followed by open mic sessions open to all. Work may be presented in English, French, or other languages. Multilingual expression is central to the space and reflects the realities of exile, displacement, and exchange that define the DISSIDENT Club.
The Salon is an ongoing forum for people who speak publicly and think critically through art. It exists to build community and support sustained creative work within the broader ecosystem of the DISSIDENT Club.
**When:** Every Tuesday, starting January 6th, 2026
**Sign-ups:** 8:00 PM
**Sets:** Three 45-minute sessions at 9:00 PM, 10:00 PM, and 11:00 PM
**Where:** The DISSIDENT Club, 58 rue Richer, 75009
Bring work that confronts.
We offer the microphone.
Writers' On-Line Feedback Session via Zoom
This group is for anyone interested in writing in English, whether it be prose or poetry or non-fiction. We get together once a week to listen, critique and support each other in our work. Attendees bring something they have written, six copies, printed out and no longer than seven pages, which they read aloud. They then receive feedback from the rest of the group. The size of the group is limited to 6, so that everyone is able to receive a full 30 minutes of constructive feedback including reading time. If you have nothing to read but would like to come and listen, you are most welcome too. We are an anglophone group and everything is conducted in English, in fact not everyone who comes can speak French. Please bear this in mind if you sign up.
Shut Up & Write!® at Indiana Café Montparnasse
Coworking for writers in your area! (Français & English sessions) with Andréa, Amy & Gaspard.
Join us for some focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in your area.
When you show up, say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready. Once you’re all settled, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, I will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session.
Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries!
A note about the format
We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing.

Trous noirs : 40 ans de traque 🌌 — Conférence à la Cité des Sciences
**Chèr·e·s Group Elements,**

**Description de la conférence**
« Dessine-moi un trou noir ».
Cette demande de l’astrophysicien Brandon Carter au jeune étudiant Jean‑Pierre Luminet donnera naissance à la première illustration dessinée à la main d’un Black Hole en 1979.
Quarante ans plus tard, ce dessin devient réalité avec la première image radio publiée par la collaboration internationale Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration.
Que savons-nous aujourd’hui de ces objets célestes si singuliers ?
Comment peut-on les observer ?

**Description**
“Draw me a black hole.”
This request by astrophysicist Brandon Carter to the young student Jean‑Pierre Luminet led to the first hand-drawn illustration of a Black Hole in 1979.
Forty years later, the drawing became reality with the first radio image published by the international Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration.
What do we know today about these extraordinary celestial objects?
How can we observe them?

Soirée de méditation du mardi
🌸 Chaque mardi, nous organisons une soirée durant laquelle nous pratiquons la méditation nommée Shamatha-Vipashyana, que beaucoup connaissent aujourd’hui sous le nom de Mindfulness.
Une première partie est composée d’un temps de méditation de 40 minutes, puis, après un temps de pause, la deuxième partie est dédiée à un enseignement portant sur la méditation, la tradition bouddhique, l’art et la poésie modernes, l’écologie…. Un temps de partage et de questions/réponses clôture la soirée.
Les sessions commencent à 20h30 (mais nous conseillons d'arriver à 20h25 afin de prendre le temps de s'installer).
La première séance est gratuite, puis vous avez la possibilité de profiter d'un temps d'essai avant de choisir de vous engager ou non de manière plus approfondie.
N'hésitez pas à visiter notre site pour en savoir plus sur nos propositions: [www.gandharameditation.org](www.gandharameditation.org)
Les détails pour nous rejoindre seront fournis après inscription.

Open Mic & Jam - Every Tuesday since 2013 !
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \(Français plus bas\) \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
This is the 12th season of the Open Mic & Jam Around The Table !
Everybody's welcome to join us in a chill intimate atmosphere, sitting around the tables with pizzas and drinks. It's kinda like singing in your living room (or listening to live music there), but in a mic and surrounded by 30-40 people :) Everybody who wants to sing is welcome to perform one song on the first round, and 1 song on the second round depending on the time the first round finishes (usually first round ends at around 11.30 - 12). Sometimes, there's even a third round, but that's rare. No need to register before the event or even during, you're potentially registered at the moment you enter the room and can sing at the end of the round that you entered the circle. This is mostly an open mic and with some jamming around it, meaning that solo instruments can join in if the singer is comfortable with that (most of them are, but not always, so it's not guaranteed), so we often have some solo guitars, and more rarely some sax, cello, violin, etc. Percusions aren't allowed anymore unfortunately due to neighboors complaints.
People can either perform by themselves or sing along with others, or meet some guitar players or singers who could play / sing with them. If you can only sing but not play, try coming with someone who can play for you as Im never sure who will come and what they can or want to play (guitar players are here for fun, it's not guaranted they'll want to play what you want to sing, or even know the song at all). You can also just take the time to meet some musicans there and ask them if they know the songs you'd like to play cuz it's also a perfect atmosphere for musical experiments without any pressure and to meet a whole community of live music lovers. Or you can also just improvise, which is usually the easiest thing to do actually.
Of course, non musicians / singers can also just come and enjoy the atmosphere and music and meet the community. As I've been running those events for quite a while now and post them on Meetup and Couchsurfing, the crowd is a nice mix between expats, travellers and locals.
So let's meet at Nul Bar ailleurs - 18 rue de Cotte, métro Ledru Rollin (lign 8)
Happy hour until 9 PM with pints of beer for 3,5 euros cocktails for 5 (then 5 & 7 € after 9 PM)
See you on tuesday(s) !
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- FRANCAIS \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
On se retrouve autour de la table du sous-sol du Nul Bar Ailleurs - 18 rue de Cotte, métro Ledru Rollin sur la ligne 8 -, avec des bonnes pizzas et des bons cocktails !
Le micro est ouvert à tous au premier tour pendant lequel celleux qui veulent / peuvent chanter en auront l'occasion et le reste de la nuit est un peu plus improvisé en fonction du monde et des gens qui sont là. Il peut y avoir un deuxième où il est possible de chanter 1 autre chanson en fonction du timing. L'idée est de se retrouver dans une ambiance intime et de créer une communauté d'amateurs de live music, qu'ils soient musiciens, chanteurs ou public. Au niveau des nationalités, c'est aussi un mélange de locaux, d'expats ou de voyageurs de passage.
Il s'agit en priorité d'un open mic où l'on encourage certains instruments (guitares / sax / violon / violoncelle, etc) à faire des solos si le/la chanteur/se le veut, ce qui est le cas pour la grande majorité des gens. Les percussions sont par contre interdites à cause des plaintes des voisins.
Happy hour jusqu'à 21h avec pintes de bière à 3,5 € et cocktails à 5 € (puis 5 € et 7 € après 21h)
A mardi !

Soirée IA pour le Dev, Docker Agent, Gemini CLI...
Le GDG Cloud Paris vous invite à sa prochaine soirée consacrée à l' IA pour le Dev : Docker Agent, Gemini CLI... chez SFEIR le mardi 17 mars à 18h30.
Merci à SFEIR de nous accueillir dans ses locaux. https://www.sfeir.com
au programme:
1) Docker Agent, le couteau suisse agentique de Docker
par David Gageot, Developpeur chez Docker sur les sujets AI
2) L'IA ne fera rien sans nous : Industrialiser et dompter Gemini CLI en équipe
par Hoani Cross, Architect & Team Leader chez SFEIR
3) ...
4) Networking Pizza/Bieres/Softs
Un grand merci à SFEIR de nous accueillir.
DETAILS
1) Docker Agent, le couteau suisse agentique de Docker.
par David Gageot, Developpeur chez Docker sur les sujets AI
L’IA révolutionne nos métiers autour du développement. Chez Docker, nous jouons les éclaireurs et changeons totalement notre façon de travailler. Pour ce faire, nous avons créé Docker Agent.
Docker Agent est un framework agentique qui vous aide à créer vos propres agents : des agents de code, mais pas seulement. Le tout en open source, model-agnostic, souvent sans une ligne de code.
David est Developpeur chez Docker sur les sujets AI (Gordon, MCP Gateway, Docker Agent...). Depuis 20 ans, je rends les développeurs plus productifs.
2) L'IA ne fera rien sans nous : Industrialiser et dompter Gemini CLI en équipe
par Hoani Cross, Architect & Team Leader chez SFEIR
L'intégration d'assistants IA crée trop souvent une fracture entre quelques "early adopters" isolés et le reste des développeurs. Venez découvrir un framework technique et collaboratif - reposant sur une configuration centralisée et 7 niveaux de prompts système - conçu pour harmoniser vos pratiques et embarquer toute l'équipe. L'objectif : partager vos outils (serveurs MCP, agents custom) pour transformer l'expérimentation individuelle en véritable intelligence collective. Parce que l'IA doit nous augmenter et nous faire avancer en peloton, pas nous remplacer !
Hoani travaille dans l'IT depuis plus de 25 ans et tombé amoureux du développement dès 10 ans... il y a environ 40 ans. Après une carrière bien nourrie, entre France Métropolitaine et la Polynésie Française, son pays d'origine, Hoani décide de rejoindre SFEIR Nantes en 2020, en tant que Senior Lead Dev & Architect puis Engineering Manager. Aujourd'hui, il anime des événements dédiés à l'IA au sein de son agence et accompagne les clients de SFEIR à prendre en main ces nouveaux outils pour faire du développement augmenté.

Poetry Reading in a Bar: Gentle Words & Deep Ideas 📖🍹✨
**Welcome to the Paris Poetry Circle!**
Now in its 30th year, our English-language poetry reading group continues to bring together lovers of verse and thought in the heart of Paris. 🎉
Join us this Wednesday evening for a gathering of minds and voices as we read and reflect on poems that move, challenge, and illuminate — all shared over some quiet drinks. 🫖☕️🥤🧉🍹
We seek poems that are clear yet profound, sweet or serious — those that carry us forward and help us make sense of the world. We steer clear of the obscure or needlessly complex; we value clarity over cleverness, sincerity over show.
Each poem is read anonymously to begin with, without revealing the author, allowing space for open, unbiased interpretation. We then explore it together — carefully, curiously — to uncover what lies beneath the surface.
After the meeting, we write a letter of thanks to the living poets we have read at the group, to thank and congratulate them. We revere all the poets of this world.
The group is small — usually six or seven thoughtful individuals, up to a maximum of ten. The conversation is warm, intelligent, and grounded. There is no performance, no pressure to contribute, and no cost. Only a shared pursuit of insight, beauty, and fellowship.
If that resonates with you, we’d love to welcome you. Bring a poem, or simply bring yourself. 📚✨
Colloque : l'âme des peuples - De la géopolitique vers une géopoétique
**Réservation obligatoire :**
[https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1765769838119?aff=oddtdtcreator](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1765769838119?aff=oddtdtcreator)
Ou par mail : [lapasserelle75011@gmail.com](mailto:lapasserelle75011@gmail.com)
En ces temps troublés où l’histoire semble chaotique et avoir perdu sa direction il est peut- être temps d’envisager une lecture de cette histoire sous de nouveaux angles. C’est pourquoi nous proposons une approche fondée sur l’âme du monde différenciée en âmes des peuples, notamment en ce qui concerne l’Europe. Nous proposons un nouvel éclairage qui nous permette de retrouver des points de repères dans le grand tourbillon du non-sens qui nous enveloppe dans notre vie quotidienne.
Nous évoquerons la question de l’âme des peuples tout en recherchant les possibilités d’action et de concrétisation de celle-ci dans la vie ordinaire et dans les décisions qui peuvent se prendre en termes géopolitiques pour le présent et le futur. Cette approche non partisane à travers la science des archétypes et des symboles peut contribuer à transformer la cacophonie actuelle en une véritable symphonie. Elle insuffle plus de sens, d’amour et de clarté dans le cœur des hommes.
**MATINÉE**
**9h30 / Ouverture du colloque**
Orientation et intention du colloque : Luc Bigé
Présentation du Groupe de Recherche Âme des peuples et Histoire – Le G.R.A.P.H. : Nadine Outin
et de la Nouvelle Acropole : Françoise Bechet
**9h40 – 10h40 / Luc Bigé : « Archétypes et Histoire »**
Nous revisiterons l'histoire de l'Occident sous l'angle de sa relation avec l'anima mundi, l'âme du monde. Se peut-il que l'Esprit du temps souffle sur les hommes et que, de ces interactions, se déploient les grands événements qui sculptent notre histoire et organisent notre futur ?
**10h40 – 11h20 / Nadine Outin** : « **Connais-toi toi -même en tant qu’Âme d’un peuple »**
L’âme des peuples influencerait-elle inconsciemment nos perceptions, nos créations, notre manière de rencontrer l’autre et de vivre l’histoire du monde ? Les voyages vers d’autres peuples nous confrontent à cette question. La Sagesse de la Tradition nous apporte des éclairages. Nous retiendrons particulièrement les réponses apportées par les enseignements de certains mouvements philosophiques occidentaux des 19 et 20eme siècle tout en nous interrogeant sur la manière dont l’âme d’un peuple se métamorphose sous la pression d’une pluriculturalité de plus en plus dense en ce début de 21 siècle.
***Pause***
**11h50 – 12h / Pause poétique - Brigitte Deruy et Mathilde Sternat** : **« Habiter la Terre en poète » / Une invitation à une approche sensible de l’âme des peuples**
**12h – 12h30 / Caroline Salagnac** : « **l’artiste, médiateur de l’âme des peuples ? »**
Une réflexion sur le monde imaginal et le lien entre l’art et la quête spirituelle.
***Pause***
**APRÈS-MIDI**
**14h - 15h / Gérard Sutton**
"Les Musiques en Europe, le souffle de l'âme des peuples »
Les notes sont vivantes et transforment la conscience. Il y a une musique qui libère et une musique qui asservit. Elle peut détruire ou bien construire intérieurement l’être.
**15h - 15h10 / Pause poétique - Brigitte Deruy et Mathilde Sternat : « Habiter la Terre en poète »**
**15H10 - 16h10 / Mathieu Laveau -** « L'âme de la France décryptée par les secrets de sa langue et de sa géométrie sacrée »
" Peut-on appréhender la mission de l’âme de la France par l’étude de sa géographie, de sa géométrie hexagonale en lien avec la géométrie de l’Égypte des pyramides ; tout en décryptant les secrets de sa langue dite langue franche ?
***Pause***
**16h40 / Pause poétique - Brigitte Deruy et Mathilde Sternat : « Habiter la Terre en poète »**
**16h50 – 17h50 / Fernand Schwarz : « l’âme de la France, atouts et perspectives »**
Les quatre piliers symboliques qui animent l'âme de la France – la déesse mère, le politique, la guerrière et la mystique – possèdent aussi leurs parts d’ombres. Le décodage symbolique des quatre constantes qui forment l’âme du pays et leurs contradictions internes permet de mieux comprendre ses difficultés mais aussi d’évoquer son réenchantement en fonction de valeurs plus contemporaines.
**17h50 – 18h30 / Table ronde avec tous les intervenants**
Clôture du colloque et perspectives
**18h 30 :** Temps de rencontres conviviales à La Passerelle autour d’un verre.

Atelier d'écriture "La micro-fiction"

« For sale: baby shoes, never worn. »
Ernest Hemingway

Six mots.
Une histoire entière.
Un chagrin, un mystère...
Ernest Hemingway aurait écrit, selon la légende, la plus courte nouvelle du monde. Vous pouvez en faire autant.
La micro-fiction, c'est l'art de raconter une histoire en quelques phrases. Une contrainte qui, loin de brider, libère la créativité et révèle la puissance de chaque mot.
Venez vous essayer à cette micro-écriture, avec des exercices ludiques et progressifs.

Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for March is "Our Bodies, Ourselves"
Speak Easy: true stories, told live.
The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast.
Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect.
The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
Shut Up & Write!® Easton Town Center
We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator.
Join us on Sunday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking!
• What we'll do
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at noon on Sundays.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
SCHEDULE:
12:00 - quick intros.
12:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour.
1:10 - chat / take off / keep writing.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 1-1:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you!
• What to bring
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible.
See you at The Café on Sunday!

Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington.
The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.
Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine.
We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you.
The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly.
Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome.
The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit.
Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times.
Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have.
Happy writing!
