Self-Realization

**Cérémonie avec Cacao et Lotus bleu.** **Être libre, véritablement.** Dans l’énergie du Wesak Festival, lors de la pleine lune sur l’axe Taureau–Scorpion, un temps particulièrement propice à la méditation, à l’alignement et à l’ouverture intérieure. Le Wesak est une célébration spirituelle majeure, associée à la pleine lune du Taureau, symbolisant la transmission de lumière, de conscience et d’élévation. Comme chaque lune, son énergie rejoint un pic dans une fenêtre de 48 heures. **Samedi 2 mai** **19h15 – 21h30** **64 rue des Tournelles 75003** **Réservation nécessaire, places limitées\*** **Inscription en ligne directement via la billetterie** [ici](https://www.billetweb.fr/ceremonie-du-cacao-et-lotus) **Participation : 40 €** Selon la tradition théosophique, le Wesak ( pleine lune en Taureau ) représente l’union, en nous, de la sagesse — vacuité, conscience bouddhique — et de l’amour — unité, relation — au cœur de la conscience humaine. Un point d’équilibre entre transcendance et incarnation, sagesse et amour. C'est le thème de notre plongée ensemble. Les cérémonies consistent en un espace rituel, guidé par des mots et des sons inspirés : un voyage intérieur de présence à ce qui nous habite, et d’ouverture à être traversés par l'Amour plus Grand que nous. Ce sont des espaces de connaissance directe — la vôtre — d’où peut émerger une vérité qui vous appartient, que j’espère vivante, et donc fertile, en perpétuel devenir. **MAMA CACAO :** Les plantes enseignantes sont des alliées précieuses pour la reconnexion et la mise en lumière de nos parties enfouies, pour la réalisation de l'essence profonde, vaste, créatrice et aimante de l'être que nous sommes, pour l'expansion de l'horizon des possibles, l'émergence de notre note unique, de la vision du cœur. Originaire des forêts tropicales amazoniennes, le cacao était vénéré comme une divinité dans la cosmologie des Olmèques, des Mayas, des Toltèques, des Aztèques et des Incas. Chez les Mayas, le cacao était associé à l'une des divinités majeures de leur cosmologie et utilisé à des fins rituelles et sacrées. Le cacao nous soutient dans la reconnexion à notre propre féminin, à notre capacité à nous accueillir nous-mêmes, de manière plus inconditionnelle, profonde et sincère ; et ainsi, à pouvoir étendre cette permission et cet accueil aux autres, aux expériences. Quels sont les bénéfices potentiels du Cacao Sacré ? L'expérience d'une capacité d'amour plus vaste et inclusive en agissant de manière subtile sur l'ouverture du chakra du cœur. Favoriser l'ouverture et la réceptivité Élargir notre perception de ce qui est et de ce qui peut être. Aider à développer la présence. Nous soutenir dans la reconnexion à l'essence vaste de notre être et de sa sagesse. Accompagner la mise en lumière du lien entre l'extérieur et l'intérieur. Accéder à un espace de possibilités plus vastes. Reconnecter avec nos ressentis, nos émotions, nos désirs, et apprendre à identifier leur guidance. **LE CACAO CEREMONIEL ET CHOCOLAT :** Il y a une grande différence entre le chocolat commercial, souvent issu de variétés hybrides, cultivé et produit selon des pratiques éthiques parfois douteuses, et le cacao cérémoniel. Le chocolat commercial, y compris le bio cru, est hautement transformé, ce qui le prive de nombreux nutriments précieux pour le corps, l'esprit, le cœur et l'âme. Notamment, la PEA (phényléthylamine), connue comme la 'molécule de l'amour' – une amphétamine naturellement produite par notre corps lorsque nous sommes amoureux – est présente dans le cacao cérémoniel, mais est éliminée par les hautes températures du processus de torréfaction du cacao commercial. **LOTUS BLEU** : Le Lotus Bleu, nous ramene dans les mystères d'Egypte, d'Isis, agissant plutôt sur les sphères du troisième œil et de la couronne. Il soutient l'ouverture des perceptions subtiles, de l’intuition, de l’inspiration qui descend du plus haut de nous-mêmes. La cérémonie est un espace rituel pour cultiver ensemble la présence à notre être dans ce qu’il a de plus vaste, lumineux et fertile. Un temps pour trouver une foi qui descend de l'intellect au cœur, L'inscription via la billetterie est nécessaire, les places sont limitées. Pour toutes vos questions, n'hésitez pas à m'écrire via mail à : ilariainscriptions@gmail.com \*Les annulations dans les 48h avant la cérémonie comportent le règlement de la participation.\* Merci pour votre compréhension. En septembre 2023 je publie mon livre : **"Cacao Sacré. Le Chemin qui mène au Cœur",** **aux éditions Guy Trédaniel,** le premier ouvrage consacré au cacao cérémoniel et à son rôle dans l'ouverture du cœur. Il est disponible en librairie, ainsi que sur la FNAC et Amazon.[commander le livre](https://www.amazon.fr/Cacao-sacr%C3%A9-chemin-m%C3%A8ne-coeur/dp/2381353216/ref=asc_df_2381353216?mcid=e7c0de5303d23562951cceddcfcf8750&tag=googshopfr-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=701604358526&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16735242848011451139&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9056137&hvtargid=pla-2194758018121&psc=1&hvocijid=16735242848011451139-2381353216-&hvexpln=0) Avec amour Ilaria Rubei [Le calendrier pour tous les évènements ici](https://ilariarubei.com/ir-agenda/)

Cet événement n’est pas un cours de philosophie. Il s’agit avant tout d’un moment d’échange, où l’on prend le temps de réfléchir ensemble à nos choix de vie, à ce que nous aurions pu faire différemment, et à ce qui nous a influencés sans toujours que nous en ayons conscience. Nous aborderons notamment cette question : — Faisons-nous réellement nos propres choix… ou suivons-nous quelque chose sans nous en rendre compte ? Les regrets, les hésitations, les “et si…” font partie de nos parcours. Cet espace permet de les explorer sans jugement, simplement pour mieux comprendre. Il ne s’agit pas de débattre pour avoir raison, mais de partager, nuancer et réfléchir ensemble. Chacun est libre de s’exprimer à son rythme. Les silences, les doutes et les réflexions en cours ont toute leur place. Un moment simple, humain et sincère — un prétexte pour se rencontrer autrement. Aucune expérience particulière n’est nécessaire, il s’agit simplement d’un moment d’échange ouvert à tous ceux qui souhaitent réfléchir et partager à leur rythme.

🍩🍰 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 !!! 🤗

L'événement **Eye-contact** vise principalement à améliorer les compétences en communication non verbale des participants. Voici les objectifs principaux de cet événement : * **Renforcer la communication** : Apprendre à établir un contact visuel efficace pour capter l'attention et renforcer le message transmis lors des échanges. * **Susciter l'empathie** : Utiliser le regard pour établir un lien émotionnel avec les interlocuteurs, favorisant ainsi une meilleure compréhension mutuelle. * **Gagner la confiance** : Développer la capacité à maintenir le contact visuel, ce qui inspire confiance et crédibilité auprès de l'auditoire. * **Surmonter la timidité** : Aider les participants à dépasser leur peur du jugement en pratiquant le contact visuel dans des environnements rassurants. * **Améliorer la mémorisation** : Favoriser une meilleure rétention des informations échangées grâce à un contact visuel soutenu. Cet événement est donc conçu pour offrir aux participants des outils pratiques et des exercices qui leur permettront de maîtriser cette technique de communication essentielle. **L'experience *:*** *L'un en face de l'autre, aucun des deux ne conversant ni ne s'efforçant de se rendre intéressant.* S'asseoir et se regarder, sans qu'on ne dise ni ne fasse quoi que ce soit. Ni parler, ni s'agiter, ni rire nerveusement ni être embarrassé. On s'apercevra que l'on a tendance à confronter avec une partie du corps plutôt qu'à confronter seulement, ou à utiliser un système de confrontation plutôt qu'à **être simplement là**. Le nom de cet exercice serait incorrect si confronter signifiait faire quelque chose. **Toute l'action consiste à habituer à être là**, à un mètre en face d'un autre, sans s'excuser ni bouger, ni sursauter ni se défendre. Le fait de confronter avec une partie du corps peut provoquer des somatiques dans la partie du corps dont on se sert pour confronter. **La solution est simplement de confronter et d'être là.** Simplement être là et confronter, et on atteint un gain majeur stable.

**Update 🌿** Due to the rainy weather forecast for Sunday in Fontainebleau, I’ve decided to move the walk to **Saturday, May 2nd.** As well as due to train maintenance during the long holiday, we’ll need to slightly adjust our route. We’ll meet at Saint-Michel–Notre-Dame, then take a train to Juvisy, transfer to another train to Fontainebleau, and finally take a bus to the forest. It might take a bit longer than expected — sorry, I just found out about this. I’ve already reached out to everyone who signed up and I’m currently waiting for your response. Merci ! ————————————————————————————— **About** A guided quiet walk in the Fontainebleau forest, inspired by Shinrin-yoku (forest bathing). A space to slow down, disconnect from the city, and reconnect with nature and yourself. ### **Format** – Small group – A gentle, mindful **hike** in the forest – We walk mostly in silence, to fully experience the surroundings – Occasional pauses to breathe and take it in – Time to connect and share during a picnic ### **Schedule** – Meet at Gare de Lyon – \~45 min train to Fontainebleau – Bus ride to grab something for a picnic – Begin a gentle, mindful hike in the forest (\~1 hour) – Pause for a picnic, relax, and connect – A slow walk back through the forest – Return to Paris by train **Purpose** To create a calm, grounding experience away from the fast pace of daily life. To bring more presence, clarity, and simple human connection. **Who it’s for** – Anyone who feels the need to slow down – Nature lovers – Curious minds open to a different kind of experience **No special preparation needed - just come as you are 🌿**

Do you want more motivation and confidence to build Lasting Relationships? This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can 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 “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t 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, don’t 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 you’ve 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: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s 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 “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” 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 “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t 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. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This class is held at the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center.

From birth, human beings are learning. Before we are able to hold concrete memories, we are being shaped and impacted by everything about our lives and situations. From the point that we become capable of cognizant thought and memory, our lives could be summed up as a series of our responses to our circumstances, whether for good or for ill. Dr. Joe Dispenza sees a deep need for human beings to live *on purpose*. Rather than just living life in reaction mode, he challenges people to live intentionally, to seek to change the negative that we have encountered and to pursue the positive through purposeful steps in a different and healthy direction. His study and work seek to demonstrate the changes that can be made from the inside out. Join us as we take a look at new ways to grow at **6:30 pm,** **Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at True Food Kitchen, Easton Town Center, Columbus**.

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.

This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

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.

This is a free, in person meeting. 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 “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t 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, don’t 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 you’ve 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: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s 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 “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” 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 “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t 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! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
