Propos sur la natureโ€”Alain
Propos sur la natureโ€”Alain
Salut ร  tous ! Le *Propos sur la nature* dโ€™Alain, 272 pages, est un recueil dโ€™essais brefs dans lesquels Alain observe la nature comme un lieu dโ€™exercice de la pensรฉe plutรดt que comme un simple dรฉcor. ร€ partir de phรฉnomรจnes ordinaires โ€” le vent, la pluie, les saisons, les paysages โ€” il dรฉveloppe une philosophie du regard, attentive, lucide et volontairement dรฉbarrassรฉe de lyrisme facile. ร‰crits dans une langue claire et prรฉcise, ces *Propos* invitent le lecteur ร  rรฉsister aux illusions, ร  se mรฉfier des sentiments trop spontanรฉs et ร  reconquรฉrir sa libertรฉ intรฉrieure par lโ€™observation et le jugement. La nature y devient un terrain dโ€™apprentissage moral et intellectuel : elle nโ€™enseigne rien par elle-mรชme, mais oblige lโ€™esprit ร  penser juste.

Cine: 12 sillas  - Cuba
Cine: 12 sillas - Cuba
La pelรญcula empieza a las dos de la tarde; no hay anuncios ni trรกilers de otras pelรญculas, dura hora y media y despuรฉs nos tomaremos algo para hablar de lo que nos ha parecido. This first feature film by Cuba's godfather of cinema, Tomรกs Gutiรฉrrez Alea, is a cunning adaptation of a comic novel from the early years of the USSR by Ilf and Petrov. The madcap plot concerns the hunt for family jewels hidden by a wealthy Cuban matriarch before she died, in one of a set of 12 dining chairs which have been sold off individually. Son-in-law Hipรณlito and his former chauffeur Oscar both embark on a desperate adventure to find the โ€˜treasureโ€™ before each other or the state does. They struggle to understand the new Cuban society, its rejection of class status, individual wealth and not to mention the maze of new official state organisations โ€“ a mix of real and imagined. When the movie was made, the revolution in Cuba was only 2 years old, filming had to be paused in April 1961 when the US attacked at Playa Girรณn, and the impact of the new US blockade was overwhelming. For a newly liberated country in those circumstances to be able to laugh at itself in this joyful way is astonishingly confident. Conventions of silent movies, slapstick, animation and social realism are all evident in this unmissable first comedy of the revolution. This first feature film by Cuba's godfather of cinema, Tomรกs Gutiรฉrrez Alea, is a cunning adaptation of a comic novel from the early years of the USSR by Ilf and Petrov.

Tango on Sunday: GANCHO special! And Los Angelitos milonga with guest TDJ
**Sunday 15/03: GANCHO special! And Los Angelitos milonga *with guest TDJ.*** **โœจ What a blast last Sunday at the Womenโ€™s Day special! Thank you to the many of you who came to dance with us ๐Ÿ’›** We love Ganchos! This Sunday we will be extra playful and will show you exciting ganchos that will put a big smile on your face, guaranteed! We will start with your 2pm beginner / improver lessons (*my first Gancho*), followed by the 3pm Intermediate & Advanced class looking at beautiful steps and variants of ganchos, some of them a little more challenging, for your greatest pleasure โ€“ and immediately usable set for the milonga. **The LOS ANGELITOS milonga will start at 4.30pm with Guest TDJ Rocks who will craft the most danceable tandas from the Golden Age, and his signature fun cortinas too! Last tanda at 7.30PM**. Bailamos? **Wait! What are ganchos and why are they special?** Ganchos are one of the most exciting elements in tango because they combine precision, surprise, and playful interaction between partners. A gancho happens when one dancerโ€™s leg hooks around the otherโ€™s, at times in a tight space, creating a sharp and elegant movement that appears almost spontaneous. When led and timed well with the music, ganchos feel like a spark in the danceโ€”quick, dramatic, and expressiveโ€”adding a moment of intensity and connection that both dancers find thrilling.

Conversacion en espaรฑol (en persona)
While some are still meeting online, this is an in person event. Please note that we have attendees of all levels of speaking, including some native speakers. All are welcome! Also, as we meet at the same time and place each week, many donโ€™t RSVP on the app, so we will likely have more attendees than noted here. Note: if you are asked to pay and upgrade the Meetup app, this is not necessary. You can ignore this and still attend our meetings.
Humanist Program: Fighting the Efforts to Insert Religion into Public Education
Humanist Program: Fighting the Efforts to Insert Religion into Public Education
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association: They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other churchโ€“state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEAโ€™s early wins and hard lessons, what weโ€™re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape โ€” and practical ways to get involved. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.

Libera Animae - Freeing the Soul
Libera Animae - Freeing the Soul
Meeting Room 2b, Main Library Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation. Weโ€™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. We desirere to cultivate a space where all questions are welcome and all members are treated with compassion and respect. All backgrounds are welcome.
Let's try a Friday Night Fish Fry!
Let's try a Friday Night Fish Fry!
We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM. It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!
