Création, entre arts et mathématiques🧮 🎨 Visite guidée à la Maison Poincaré
Chèr·e·s Group Elements 🌌
(oui, comme les éléments d’un groupe mathématique🧮🙂)
Retrouvons-nous pour une visite guidée de l'exposition « Création, entre arts et mathématiques » à la Maison Poincaré.
🔗 [https://www.ihp.fr/fr/actualites-science-et-societe/creation-entre-arts-et-mathematiques](https://www.ihp.fr/fr/actualites-science-et-societe/creation-entre-arts-et-mathematiques)
Les arts comme les mathématiques cherchent à faire entrer dans notre monde tangible des concepts et des idées issus du domaine de la pensée. Dans les deux cas, le résultat final — qu'il s'agisse d'une œuvre d'art ou d'un théorème — cache souvent un long travail de création et de transformation.
Cette exposition collective explore non seulement le processus de création, mais aussi les façons dont les pratiques artistiques et mathématiques, avec leurs similitudes et leurs différences, peuvent s'enrichir mutuellement. Elle met en lumière les multiples dialogues entre artistes et mathématicien·ne·s, révélant comment ces disciplines se soutiennent, s'interrogent et ouvrent de nouvelles perspectives de recherche et d'exploration.

Deep Talk / In English
🍩🍰 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.

Sunday Badminton - 11am Open Session
Hi Badminton Fans!
Come and join us every Sunday for a fun session of badminton. There are usually 2 sessions to choose from,
**This 11 am - Open Session is open to players of all levels.**
**If you are a complete beginner -**
Talk to us first before signing up, and we can try to make accommodations and maybe have beginners-only court to begin with, with one of the organisers ready to explain all of the basics, such as serving, scoring, rules etc, as well as some pointers to help you progress.
**Which Session To Choose**
If you're unsure of your level, sign up for the 11am session to start, or ask us! We will try our utmost to ensure that you play with people of similar levels.
**What Do You Need**
Don't worry about equipment; racquets and shuttlecocks are provided, and there's no need for a badminton license or insurance. Just bring your indoor sports shoes, and a willingness to meet new friends and have lots of fun.
There are changing rooms and showers.
**Get There Early**
Try and get there early to change and get warmed up so that we can start right on time. The courts are normally not being used before we play, so we can get a little extra time playing.
**Registration & Payments**
Registration is 14€ per person, and you can sign up via PayPal through this event page. For alternative payments, check for available slots on the event page first. Then, submit your payment via https://revolut.me/jonathwu3q with a description of which event you are signing up for, and send the screenshot to one of us so that we can add you.
*Please Note: If your name is **not** in the attendees list and you do not have confirmation from us, you will be turned away.*
**Annual Membership Option**
For regular players, there is the option to take out an annual membership. This costs 80€ for the first year and is renewable each year for 40€. This reduces the weekly registration fee to only 10€ per session.
**No Refunds**
In the case of a cancellation or no-show, there are no refunds.
See you all on the court on Sunday.
Happy badminton-ing!
Kelvin (0603250357) and Vijay (0767341832),

* Yes! We are an international group and everyone speaks English!
2. Are there still available slots? I can’t sign up! Help!

Kindness Conference 2026
**Kindness Conference 2026**
Registration required. Visit www.kindhelp.org to register!
Imagine a future intentionally shaped by kindness: come build it together with us on
**Saturday, July 18th at the Junto Hotel in downtown Columbus!**
The function of our conference is to help people develop the skills to build kind community and provide opportunities to increase in-person connection and support in each other’s lives.
**This conference is for any of us who are:**
· Feeling isolated and lacking community in our current society
· Wanting to make a difference in our own lives and the lives of each other
· Anyone who is just wishing to create something better!
**We will build more kind community by:**
· Developing formats for building community-based infrastructure where existing systems are failing that anybody can use
· Providing the tools that help people connect in-person and practicing using those tools together
· Implementing Universal Design so that no one gets left behind
**Opportunities and practical tools we are offering:**
· Lunch!
· Community-Building Toolkits for people to take home
· A chance to build lasting friendships and supportive connections
· Opportunities to share referrals, strategies, resources, and the kind of connected support networks many people receive through family, but that those without community and family are often lacking
· Ongoing community dinners, free workshops, and other events where people can connect
**Participants also have the opportunity to receive CE credits from the Ohio CSWMFT Board.**
We are just getting started! This is one of many upcoming events where we can continue making kind community together. **Who else should be here?**
Share this opportunity with anyone else who you think might want to build kind community! For more information and to register visit [www.kindhelp.org](http://www.kindhelp.org/). If you would like to help us plan the day, we would love to connect email us at [info@kindhelp.org](mailto:info@kindhelp.org)!
