**Dans l’imaginaire du son** : Explorations sonores insolites créatives pour scie musicale, violoncelle et voix. avec Birgit von Keller et Chim Nwabueze. Une exploration innovatrice de ces instruments entre bruissement, caresse, souffle, vague, tapotement, soupir, envol mélodieux et silence qui réveille nos mémoires et notre imagination : la musique devient poésie. Chaque concert est différent et révèle les possibilités infinies de la création. Ce voyage musical s'inscrit dans le cadre des **Journées des Arts** organisées par l'école de philosophie Nouvelle Acropole. Ces journées sont une invitation à changer de regard à travers l'art. Par la beauté, le sentiment et le symbole, l'art nous conduit du visible vers l'invisible, à explorer le monde et à se transformer soi-même par l'expérience intérieure. **Mail** : lapasserelle75011@gmail.com **Réservation** : https://www.eventbrite.fr/e/dans-limaginaire-du-son-creation-musicale-spontanee-imaginative-tickets-1990635316819?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true

Hello there! - We'd like to welcome you to a Free Meditation Meetup hosted by Luc & team. Topic: Free Meditation Time: 07:30 PM Every week on Friday Location: La Source 20-22 Rue Sébastien Mercier Paris 75015 Commute information: M° Javel-Citroën or station RER C Javel. Bilingual possible: French/ English This is a very simple, effortless, and spontaneous meditation technique also known as Sahaja Yoga. Sahaja meaning spontaneous and Yoga meaning union with one’s true self. Through meditation we connect to our true self and feel the peace within. This happens when we reach a state of thoughtless awareness and go beyond our mind and thoughts. Across the globe, many are seeking new sources of energy. In fact, the most transformative energy of all is hiding in plain sight, within us. It's natural, sustainable, and renewable. This energy is called Kundalini which helps us restore our balance and harmony within ourselves. It works spontaneously and effortlessly. This is a simple time-honored meditation technique that lets you tap into that energy and harness its power to become more balanced, better manage stress, and better connected to yourself - emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Sahaja Yoga has many layers, varied and deep. Explore at your own pace, in your own way. Every last Friday of the month there is a music session where we invite musicians professional or amateur to play. We can sing all together and enjoy a beautiful meditative state through music's vibration. All the sessions are free and everyone is cordially invited. We normally sit on chairs. There is no need for mats and no special clothing is required. See you soon!

Après le cours, qui veut peut se joindre à un petit pot dans un bar pas loin :)

Chér.e.s Group Elements, (Oui, comme dans un groupe mathématique 🧮🙂) Retrouvons-nous pour la 6e Nuit de l’Astronomie à l’Institut d’Astrophysique de Paris ! Cette année, l'événement est **consacré aux galaxies**, à l'occasion du **centenaire de la découverte d'Edwin Hubble** montrant que la nébuleuse d'Andromède était en réalité une galaxie semblable à la nôtre. Cette découverte a profondément transformé notre vision de l'Univers et ouvert un siècle d'exploration cosmique. Au fil de la soirée, des chercheuses et chercheurs présenteront l'état actuel de nos connaissances sur les galaxies : de la Voie Lactée et du Groupe Local jusqu'aux premières galaxies apparues quelques centaines de millions d'années après le Big Bang. Les conférences aborderont également les grands instruments qui permettent aujourd'hui d'explorer ces questions, tels que le télescope spatial James Webb (JWST), la mission Euclid ou le futur Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). 🔭Au-delà des conférences, la Nuit de l'Astronomie est aussi l'occasion de rencontrer des scientifiques, de découvrir des expositions et posters de recherche, d'échanger avec de jeunes chercheuses et chercheurs, **et même d'explorer des simulations d'environnements de trous noirs en réalité virtuelle** **(inscription obligatoire à l'accueil en arrivant pour celle-ci)** 🌠 **Le programme est libre** : chacun·e peut assister aux conférences qui l'intéressent, prendre le temps de discuter avec les scientifiques présents ou simplement profiter de l'ambiance de cette grande soirée consacrée à l'exploration de l'Univers. 📜 **Programme complet et informations :** [https://www.iap.fr/actualites/laune/2026/NuitAstro/nuit-astro-fr.html](https://www.iap.fr/actualites/laune/2026/NuitAstro/nuit-astro-fr.html) **Résumés des conférences :** [https://www.iap.fr/actualites/laune/2026/NuitAstro/resumes2026.html](https://www.iap.fr/actualites/laune/2026/NuitAstro/resumes2026.html) Lien de diffusion : [https://www.youtube.com/live/tsxjSH6y4Dw?si=CGU9s7KPXinD3a2i](https://www.youtube.com/live/tsxjSH6y4Dw?si=CGU9s7KPXinD3a2i) Pour celles et ceux qui le souhaitent, nous pourrons échanger entre les conférences ou prolonger la discussion autour d'un verre ou d'un repas sur place. ☕🌌 À très bientot ! 🌌 **P.

« Vous connaissez certainement le braille, mais savez-vous qu'il existe un braille mathématique, un braille informatique, un braille musical, et un braille abrégé ? Et que depuis son invention en 1825, le braille s'est développé à travers le monde et permet désormais de transcrire 137 langues ? » Chèr.e.s tou.te.s, Retrouvons-nous pour une visite commentée de l’expo « L’aventure du braille, deux siècles d’innovation » à la médiathèque Marguerite Duras, Paris 20e. Cette exposition retrace l’histoire du braille, depuis son invention par Louis Braille au XIXe siècle jusqu’aux développements contemporains du braille informatique, musical ou électronique. À travers objets, dispositifs et récits, elle explore la manière dont cette invention a transformé l’accès à la lecture, à l’apprentissage et à la culture pour les personnes aveugles et malvoyantes. La visite sera aussi l’occasion de découvrir différentes formes d’écriture et de transmission du savoir, ainsi que les enjeux d’accessibilité et d’inclusion liés à la lecture et à la culture. Après la visite, pour celles et ceux qui le souhaitent, nous pourrons prolonger le moment autour d’un café ou d’un verre à proximité.

🍩🍰 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 !!! 🤗

Voix et violoncelle Mettre le mental au repos. Bain sonore méditatif violoncelle et voix avec une préparation du corps et de l'esprit par le Qi Gong endocrinien et la respiration, selon Kar Fung Wu. À la recherche d'un effet transformationnel optimal j'ai assemblé ce qui est relié aux fondements de la Vie et qui active le système nerveux parasympathique réparateur : la lumière par le souffle, la fluidité de l'eau par le mouvement, le son par des instruments capables de transmettre à la fois la douceur et la clarté cristalline : le violoncelle ( - le son fait résonner le bois, la matière la plus douce selon la Médecine Traditionnelle Chinoise -) et la voix humaine et des baleines( - faisant résonner un corps de mammifère vivant) dont les résonances touchent en profondeur. Ce voyage musical s'inscrit dans le cadre des **Journées des Arts** organisées par l'école de philosophie Nouvelle Acropole. Ces journées sont une invitation à changer de regard à travers l'art. Par la beauté, le sentiment et le symbole, l'art nous conduit du visible vers l'invisible, à explorer le monde et à se transformer soi-même par l'expérience intérieure.

Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Come grab a drink and a seat at The Oracle. **Optional topic for this meetup: Where is everybody?** In 1950 the physicist Enrico Fermi was talking about aliens over lunch and asked a question that still has not gone away: if the universe is so vast and so old, and even a fraction of those billions of stars have planets, where is everyone? By the numbers the galaxy should be crowded with civilizations. Instead we look up and hear silence. That gap between "they should be everywhere" and "we see no one" is the Fermi Paradox. One of the most unsettling answers is the idea of a **Great Filter**: somewhere on the road from dead chemistry to a galaxy-spanning civilization, there is at least one step that is almost impossible to get past. Maybe the filter is behind us. Maybe life starting at all, or simple cells becoming complex, or intelligence ever evolving, is the freak accident, and we already cleared the hard part. Or maybe the filter is ahead of us, and advanced civilizations reliably wipe themselves out before they spread. Here is the part that messes with people. If we ever found life somewhere else, even pond scum on Mars, most people would call it the greatest discovery in history. But it might be the worst possible news. It would mean life is common, the early steps are easy, and the hard step is still in front of us. So the eerie silence overhead might actually be the best sign we could ask for. **Questions to wrestle with:** * Is it better to be alone? Would you rather we find alien life and learn we are not special, or find nothing and quietly improve our odds of surviving? * Where do you bet the filter sits, behind us or ahead of us, and why? * If it is ahead of us, what is it? Nuclear war, climate collapse, AI, something we cannot even picture yet? And can we do anything about a filter we cannot see coming? * Two principles pull opposite ways here. The principle of mediocrity (the Copernican principle, Sagan's "no privileged place in the universe") says we are ordinary, so what happened on Earth probably happened everywhere, which makes the silence scream louder. The anthropic principle says of course we find ourselves somewhere life was possible, since we could not observe anything else, so our being here may say almost nothing about how common life is. Which lens do you trust, and does the silence still demand an answer once you account for observer selection? * And if we did confirm life out there and had to accept we are not special, what would that do to belief in a higher power, and would shedding (or keeping) that belief help or hurt our odds of pulling together as one species? * Does any of this change how you live, or how humanity should be spending its time and money right now? As always the prompt is optional. Come for the conversation, stay for the drinks, and bring your own questions.

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture.

As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

Based on the novel Roadside Picnic, it is NO picnic, but rather one of the masterpieces of world cinema. Andrei Tarkovsky's 1979 Soviet sci-fi classic, recounts the expedition of a writer and professor led by a mysterious guide called "The Stalker." to a futuristic wasteland called "The Zone." Dripping with existential dread, it continually presents strange occurrences that will have us debating the meaning of what we've just viewed right through the ending. *Stalker* (1979) can be streamed for free on HBOMax, the Criterion Channel or Kanopy. It's also available for rent on Amazon Prime and AppleTV. The Columbus Library has two copies on disc.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries.
