**🌟Le Café des Vraies Conversations et des Rencontres Profondes ! 🌟** Un café pas comme les autres : ici, on ne “networke” pas… on se rencontre vraiment. Chaque édition, la Wise ouvre un espace chaleureux où l’on vient pour échanger autrement : des discussions authentiques, profondes, vivantes, autour des sujets qui nous passionnent. Sur place, plusieurs tables thématiques (art, culture, sport, entrepreneuriat, société, créativité, etc.). Tu choisis ta table selon ton envie du moment, tu t’assois, et tu entres dans une conversation guidée qui fait du bien et fait grandir. Pourquoi venir ? • Rencontrer de belles personnes, au-delà du small talk • Explorer des idées et des points de vue différents • Apprendre et transmettre, sans posture, sans jugement • Repartir inspiré.e, avec des contacts et des déclics À quoi s’attendre ? • Accueil & ambiance café (cadre cosy, bienveillance, simplicité) • Choix des tables : tu rejoins le thème qui t’appelle • Table ronde en petit groupe (écoute, respect, parole partagée) • Option : changement de table pour croiser de nouvelles énergies • Clôture : 1 idée forte / 1 rencontre marquante / 1 prochaine action Les règles d’or • Confidentialité : ce qui se dit ici reste ici • Écoute active : on comprend avant de répondre • Parole partagée : chacun a sa place • Aucun jugement : on accueille les expériences et les vécus • Authenticité : tu viens comme tu es La Wise Community est heureuse de vous convier à cette première édition de son nouveau concept d’innovation sociale “Wise Human Coffee” qui sera animé par des professionnels et des passionnés de l’Humain ! **🎯POUR QUI ? :** Pour celles et ceux qui ont envie de : sortir des échanges superficiels, rencontrer une communauté curieuse et bienveillante, nourrir leur esprit, leur cœur, et leurs projets. **🌐LIEU :** Kawaa Lucernaire (53 rue Notre Dame Des Champs, 75006 Paris) 🗓️ **DATE :** 18/04/2026 (14h30-17h30) **💰TARIF :** 5€ + Consommation obligatoire sur place **DROIT A L’IMAGE** : En participant à cet évènement, vous acceptez d'être filmé(e) uniquement dans le cadre des enregistrements de groupe réalisés par la Wise (aucun enregistrement individuel ne sera effectué). **🌟 QUI SOMMES NOUS ? 🌟** « Et si au lieu d’écouter toutes ces personnes qui nous expliquent combien tout va mal, nous nous rassemblerions pour ériger un monde meilleur ? » Au sein d’une société divisée et fragilisée, il est temps de replacer l’humain au centre du système et des interactions. Beaucoup de personnes aspirent à redonner du sens à leur existence et leur cheminement, à s’accomplir, à atteindre leurs rêves, et non ceux de la société ou de leur entourage. Pour cela, il est important de revenir à l’essentiel : savoir "qui je suis" pour savoir "où je vais" en respectant mes valeurs et mes aspirations. La Wise Community est une **communauté** solidaire, multigénérationnelle, qui **rassemble** les personnes de bien en **quête de sens** et de **lien social**. Notre vocation : **agir ensemble**, avec le cœur, pour un monde meilleur. Grâce à notre écosystème de partenaires intervenant auprès de différents publics, nous offrons l’opportunité, de : * **Se réaliser** grâce à nos ateliers de développement personnel et professionnel. * **Agir au quotidien** en participant aux actions de terrain proposées par nos associations partenaires. * **Progresser collectivement** en partageant ses compétences, connaissances, expériences et idées. **Pour en savoir + ou nous rejoindre :** * Site : [www.wise-community.com](http://www.wise-community.com "http://www.wise-community.com") Instagram : [https://www.instagram.com/wise__community/](https://www.instagram.com/wise__community/ "https://www.instagram.com/wise__community/")

I am taking part of this beautiful and one of a kind event near Paris. The 18.04 in a French Castle. I’ll be leading spaces there. Imagine…. You step into a luxurious Parisian Chateau for one evening dedicated to presence, beauty, and refined sensual exploration . Surrounded by a carefully curated group of like-minded guests and held by experienced facilitators and artists, you are welcomed into a space where respect, consent, and elegance shape every interaction… You are invited to discover practices such as shibari, tantra and kink in a way that feels safe, refined, and elegant. You choose your level of participation throughout the evening : whether that means simply witnessing, being inspired, or stepping into a new experience with clear guidance and support. You may arrive alone or with a partner. Either way, the space supports meaningful connection: with yourself, with others, and with the intelligence of desire when it is met with clarity and care. Sensual tension, aesthetic beauty, and erotic intelligence are present throughout the evening, expressed through ritual, movement, rope, music, and carefully structured interaction. This is Eternal Devotion - a luxurious experience in Paris DM to Join. If you wish to attend, my unique code brings you 10% off : Fairy

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.

Posting this early because seemingly all Sundays in May are holidays or busy! I picked a shorter thriller that's hopefully a fast read/listen. [Columbus library link to book](https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3458940) Location: Grandview Cafe, *1455 W. 3rd Ave*, Columbus, OH 43212 [Menu](https://www.grandviewcafe.com/menu) Book summary: Daniel leads a rich life in the university town of Athens, Georgia. He's got a couple close friends, a steady paycheck working for a regional airline, and of course, for a few glorious days each Fall, college football tailgates. He considers himself to be a mostly lucky guy -- despite the fact that he's suffered from a debilitating disease since he was a small child, one that has left him unable to speak or to move without a wheelchair. Largely confined to his home, Daniel spends the hours he's not online communicating with irate air travelers observing his neighborhood from his front porch. One young woman passes by so frequently that spotting her out the window has almost become part of his daily routine. Until the day he's almost sure he sees her being kidnapped.
