A fun, interactive and most importantly, hot comedy dating show! This is a wild matchmaking show, designed to find you a date and get you off the apps. Who does it work? PART 1 The first laughs: Two top-notch comedians will warm you up with their funniest dating stories and they'll give some hilarious dating advice (we can't promise it will be good advice). PART 2 Your time to shine: Four single men and four single women will have the chance to come on stage and find their match. We'll help you achieve that through some fun compatibility games. If your match is on stage, we'll buy you shots. PART 3 The blind date: To close this insane night, we kept the best part at the end. A live version of the Dating Game! Three single comedians will compete for a date with a lucky single lady from the audience. They will ask her questions to win her over, but she won't be able to see them.

Participation in the show isn’t mandatory. **Have you ever managed to successfully match people?** We don’t know how each flirting attempt ended, but yes, we do know of a few cases where people ending up going on a date after the show.

**COMMENT RESTER SOI-MÊME EN PRÉSENCE AVEC L'AUTRE** Billetterie 👉 pierredelaunay.com/atelier/pr-paris Et si la relation devenait ton prochain terrain d’évolution ? ​Tu as peut-être déjà beaucoup cheminé. Compris. Ressenti. Ouvert. ​Et pourtant, dans la relation, quelque chose reste délicat : dire ce qui est vrai, sentir ses limites, rester ouvert·e sans se perdre… ​Ces ateliers proposent un espace pour entraîner ta présence en relation, là où ça se joue vraiment : dans la rencontre avec l’autre. Un espace pour explorer le lien tel qu’il est — parfois complexe, parfois inconfortable, et profondément vivant. **✨ CE QUE TU PRATIQUERAS** ​• Revenir à toi-même par le corps • Ralentir pour mieux percevoir ce qui se passe • T’ouvrir à l’expérience relationnelle, ici et maintenant ​• Explorer les tensions du lien sans chercher à les manipuler ou les résoudre ​Ici, on ne cherche pas à devenir “meilleur·e”. On apprend à être avec ce qui émerge, ensemble, avec plus de présence et de justesse. **🌿 À QUI S’ADRESSENT CES ATELIERS ?** ​Ces ateliers sont pour toi si : ​ • Tu as déjà travaillé sur toi (développement personnel ou conscience). ​ • Tu sens que la relation reste un lieu d’apprentissage ou de frottement. ​ • Tu cherches plus de vérité, de simplicité et de profondeur dans le lien. ​Ils parlent autant aux profils rationnels et sensibles (ingénieurs, cadres, entrepreneurs…) qu'aux personnes lassées des promesses superficielles du développement personnel. **🌕 LA SAISON · PROCHAINES DATES** ​Chaque atelier explore une polarité essentielle. Participation à l'unité ou cycle complet : ​• **22 janvier** · Peur & Courage **• 26 février · Critique Intérieur en Relations** • **13 mars** · Appartenance & Autonomie • **23 avril** · Force & Vulnérabilité • **21 mai** · Honte & Dignité • **9 juin** · Tristesse & Vitalité **👌 INFOS PRATIQUES** ​\*\*✴︎ Lieu :\*\* Meïsō, Paris 13e **✴︎ Heure :** 19h-21h (arrivée à 18h45) **✴︎ Groupe :** 20 participants max **✴︎ Tarifs :** 20€ (solidaire) / 25€ (plein) / 30€ (soutien) **🌱 INSCRIPTION ET DÉTAILS :** **👉** [https://pierredelaunay.com/atelier/pr-paris](https://pierredelaunay.com/atelier/pr-paris) ​Hâte de vous y voir !

Mais il reste encore de la place pour les nouveaux, avant avant la représentation en petit comité du 15 mars. Mon but est simple : te permettre de t’amuser tout en te développant. Si tu veux tester, te découvrir et t’épanouir dans une ambiance bienveillante... tu es le bienvenu. 🎭✨ 👉 Lien du programme pour les curieux : https://quiet-reflection-place.lovable.app 🫱🏻‍🫲🏿Je serai accompagné de Yannick pour la partie Affirmation 🪙la première participation est à 10e (Code promo: EMOTIONAL) puis 24e

The RT site declares, “Resurrecting Elvis Presley at the peak of his showmanship, Baz Luhrmann's truly epic concert documentary restores some joy into The King's legacy.” Film Threat adds, “The most beautiful thing about EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert is that in connecting us so intimately to the man and showing him in all his complexity, Luhrmann cuts through the baggage we bring and gives us a fresh look at one of the most fascinating and accomplished musicians who has ever lived.” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmqWusmzp0k SCREAM 7: This is an opening night showing of next chapter in one of the best and most reliable horror franchises! In this film, Sidney Prescott has built a new life in the quiet town of Pine Grove, Indiana, until a new Ghostface killer begins to target her daughter, forcing her to face her past to end the killings once and for all. The stellar ensemble case includes Neve Campbell, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, David Arquette, Matthew Lillard and Courteney Cox all reprising their roles from the previous films, along with Isabel May, Anna Camp, Mckenna Grace, Asa Germann, Celeste O'Connor and Joel McHale!

For this event, we’ll help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents, wash dishes and clean surfaces at Fath Mission – Grant Kitchen.

With very few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. THANK YOU: This CMG Gives Back event provides an opportunity for YOU to get involved in helping others! Benefits go well beyond the help we give to others. Volunteering provides a wide range of personal benefits, including positive effects on mental and physical health, reduced stress/depression/anxiety, increased happiness and improved purpose, life-satisfaction and personal well-being! Plus, the opportunity to get involved, connect with others and help those in need. PARTNER AGENCY: This event is hosted by Lutheran Social Services (LSS), which serves thousands of people in need each day in 27 Ohio counties by addressing the four core societal issues of food, shelter, safety and healing. LSS offers food through the LSS Food Pantries, housing and supportive services through LSS Faith Mission and LSS Faith Mission of Fairfield County homeless shelters, domestic violence services through LSS CHOICES for Victims of Domestic Violence, senior living and health care, affordable housing communities, and other services that uplift families and strengthen communities. Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

**Caller: Frank Buschelmann** **Band: The Rosenthorns** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!
