On a des prises de conscience, des élans, une envie de changement… mais dans le concret, ça reste flou, ça bloque, ou ça ne se met pas vraiment en mouvement. Cet espace est proposé pour venir travailler ces situations de manière concrète. Un moment en petit groupe (4 personnes maximum) en présentiel, pour venir avec une situation concrète, un blocage ou une question, et prendre le temps de la clarifier. Chaque participant(e) est accompagné(e) individuellement pendant la séance. Je t’aide à mettre des mots sur ce que tu vis, à comprendre ce qui se joue, et à faire émerger un premier mouvement juste pour toi. Nous avançons à partir de ta situation réelle, dans un cadre à la fois structuré et vivant. Ce n’est ni un atelier théorique, ni un coaching orienté solutions rapides. C’est un espace pour y voir plus clair, dépasser certains blocages, et remettre du mouvement là où quelque chose est prêt à évoluer. Cet espace est aussi là pour t’aider à repartir avec une piste concrète ou une direction à explorer, même simple. Les autres participants sont présents dans l’écoute, et les situations partagées viennent souvent faire écho à ce que chacun traverse. **Ce que cela peut permettre :** * clarifier une situation concrète * mieux comprendre ce qui bloque * prendre du recul * faire émerger une direction plus juste * initier un premier pas **Pour qui ?** Pour les personnes qui : * sentent qu’un changement est déjà en cours en elles * mais rencontrent des résistances ou des blocages * et ressentent le besoin d’y voir plus clair pour avancer **Infos pratiques** 📅 Date : Samedi 18 avril 2026 👥 4 personnes maximum 🕰️ Durée : 2h 📍 Lieu : Paris 17ème – adresse communiquée après inscription 💵 Tarif : 30€ 👉 **Inscription obligatoire sur ce lien :** https://www.billetweb.fr/clarifier-ce-qui-bloque-et-remettre-du-mouvement L’inscription sur Meetup ne suffit pas à réserver une place.

**Join us for a relaxed and inspiring Saturday community walk in Paris, combining meaningful conversations, connection, and a touch of networking in a beautiful outdoor setting.** At Femme Palette, we believe in the power of community to support both personal and professional growth. This event is designed to bring together like-minded women who want to connect, exchange ideas, and build genuine relationships — whether personal, professional, or somewhere in between.

***Frapper l'épopée - A. Zeniter :*** "Alice Zeniter nous propose de suivre Tass, une professeure originaire de Nouvelle-Calédonie, de retour dans son archipel natal après une rupture amoureuse. Intriguée par la disparition de deux jumeaux kanaks parmi ses élèves, Tass se lance à leur recherche tout en étant confrontée aux réalités du mouvement indépendantiste et du passé colonial de la Nouvelle-Calédonie. Les critiques louent la manière dont Alice Zeniter se sert des codes du roman colonial pour mieux déconstruire les mythes et les stéréotypes associés à la Nouvelle-Calédonie. Ils soulignent également la force de son récit et la richesse avec laquelle elle se propose de nous faire explorer l'histoire et de la culture de l'île" *(Le Masque et La Plume).* ***Le Procès-verbal - J. M. G. Le Clézio :*** *"Le Procès-verbal* de Le Clézio traduit, une expérience d’ordre intime voir d’ordre métaphysique. Quand l’esprit refuse d’accorder au monde la moindre cohérence, à la société le moindre intérêt, que perçoit-on, sinon une rumeur confuse, une succession indifférente d’images, un univers dissocié ? Certains s’en tiennent là, chantres d’un désespoir inéluctable, comme Samuel Beckett. D’autres vont demander à un « au-delà » ou à un « en deçà » des apparences l’enracinement dans l’Etre, le courant profond de l’existence. C’est à ces mystiques de « l’en deçà », qui refusent autant la vie et ses lois que les désespérés, qu’appartient l’auteur du *Procès-verbal "(Le Monde).* **Présentations d'auteurs** Adrien présentera Alice Zeniter et Grace présentera Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio, merci à eux! **Inscription** Ne vous inscrivez, s’il vous plaît, que si vous êtes sûr.e de pouvoir lire au moins une des deux œuvres et d'être présent.e le jour J. Au plaisir de se rencontrer, débattre et discuter, autour d'un verre !

Nous poursuivons le cycle consacré à Emile Zola et à sa série littéraire "Les Rougon-Macquart" avec le 10e volume : **"Pot-Bouille"** "Zola est entré partout, chez les ouvriers et chez les bourgeois. Chez les premiers, selon lui, tout est visible. La misère comme le plaisir saute aux yeux. Chez les seconds tout est caché. Ils clament : « Nous sommes l'honneur, la morale, la famille. » Faux, répond Zola, vous êtes le mensonge de tout cela. Votre pot-bouille est la marmite où mijotent toutes les pourritures de la famille. Octave Mouret, le futur patron qui révolutionnera le commerce en créant Au Bonheur des Dames, arrive de province et loue une chambre dans un immeuble de la rue de Choiseul. Beau et enjoué, il séduit une femme par étage, découvrant ainsi les secrets de chaque famille. Ce dixième volume des Rougon-Macquart, retraçant la vie sous le Second Empire, c'est ici la bourgeoisie côté rue et côté cour, avec ses soucis de filles à marier, de rang à tenir ou à gagner, coûte que coûte. Les caricatures de Zola sont cruelles mais elles sont vraies." Babelio Pour la présentation d'auteur et le focus sur l'oeuvre : \- Solène fera une présentation selon son choix ; choix qu'elle nous communiquera dès que possible\. * Je fais le focus sur l'oeuvre. Et n'oubliez pas ! Partagez, si sous le souhaitez, quelques mots, passages et/ou citations qui vous ont marqués, touchés, et qui vous semblent importants à partager avec le groupe et les participants. Enfin, inscrivez-vous, je vous prie, uniquement si vous êtes sûrs d'être de la partie. Bien à vous tous, bonnes lectures, et à bientôt ! Jélila PS : la cotisation est de 2 euros par personne et par an, mais elle reste facultative et n'est jamais nominative (les frais dus à la plateforme sont de 240 euros par an).

Come join @thedani for a cozy, hands-on Sunday workshop to dream, feel, and create. Vision boards are a powerful tool to clarify your desires and bring intention to what you’re calling into your life. Together, we’ll create yours through a guided and thoughtful process. We’ll begin with a gentle meditation and visualization to help you connect to what you truly want, followed by journaling prompts designed to unlock your inner guidance. From there, you’ll bring your vision to life—crafting a board that reflects what you desire, and the energy you’re ready to embody. The workshop will take place at Le Pigalle, in an intimate and inspiring setting. All materials are provided—just come as you are. Enjoy light refreshments and snacks as you create. Give yourself this moment to pause, realign, and consciously design what’s next. Get ready to manifest!! ✨ **Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls.

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times.

Semi in honor of March being International Women's Month Columbus libraries: [https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3454709](https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3454709) Location: SOW Plated Menu: [https://www.sowplated.com/menu-brunch/](https://www.sowplated.com/menu-brunch/) Book summary: In 2006 Julia Lerner is living in Moscow, a recent university graduate in computer science, when she's recruited by Russia's largest intelligence agency. By 2018 she's in Silicon Valley as COO of Tangerine, one of America's most famous technology companies. In between her executive management (make offers to promising startups, crush them and copy their features if they refuse); self promotion (check out her latest op-ed in the WSJ, on Work/Life Balance 2.0); and work in gender equality (transfer the most annoying females from her team), she funnels intelligence back to the motherland. But now Russia's asking for more, and Julia's getting nervous. Alice Lu is a first generation Chinese American whose parents are delighted she's working at Tangerine (such a successful company!). Too bad she's slogging away in the lower echelons, recently dumped, and now sharing her expensive two-bedroom apartment with her cousin Cheri, a perennial "founder's girlfriend". One afternoon, while performing a server check, Alice discovers some unusual activity, and now she's burdened with two powerful but distressing suspicions: Tangerine's privacy settings aren't as rigorous as the company claims they are, and the person abusing this loophole might be Julia Lerner herself. The closer Alice gets to Julia, the more Julia questions her own loyalties. Russia may have placed her in the Valley, but she's the one who built her career; isn't she entitled to protect the lifestyle she's earned?

Let’s walk the gardens and enjoy what has spring has on display.
