Bonjour à tous, Je suis Marin, entrepreneur spécialisé dans le coaching sportif en ligne. J'ai le plaisir de vous convier à une session de coworking pas comme les autres, ouverte aussi bien aux freelances, entrepreneurs ou salariés en télétravail. **Pourquoi ce meetup ?** Dans notre univers numérique, qu'on soit entrepreneur, freelance ou en télétravail, on ressent souvent le besoin de sortir de l'isolement. C'est dans cet esprit que j'ai imaginé un espace où nous pourrions nous réunir pour échanger, partager nos expériences, et travailler côte à côte. **Lieux de Rencontre :** Nous varions les plaisirs en organisant ces sessions dans divers cafés et espaces publics à travers Paris. Chaque lieu est choisi pour sa convivialité et son ambiance propice au travail et à la discussion. **Comment rejoindre ?** Si cela vous intrigue, **je vous invite à m'envoyer un message privé sur Meetup. Je vous intégrerai alors dans notre groupe WhatsApp de coworking**, où vous pourrez découvrir l'ambiance de nos rencontres. **⚠️ Les ajouts au groupe se font hebdomadairement, donc pas d'inquiétude si je ne réponds pas immédiatement 😉** **Les Conditions ?** Rien de plus simple : **un message privé de présentation et vous êtes parmi nous !** C'est totalement gratuit et ouvert à tous. **⚠️ Les ajouts au groupe se font hebdomadairement, donc pas d'inquiétude si je ne réponds pas immédiatement 😉** Hâte de vous rencontrer et de partager ensemble des moments de travail collaboratifs et stimulants. À très bientôt, Marin

### **A floral gathering for women who want to slow down and reconnect with themselves.** ***Blossom*** is a gentle pause, not a traditional workshop ; a moment to breathe, create, and enjoy meaningful conversations in a cozy café setting. Surrounded by flowers and a welcoming atmosphere, you’ll create your own bouquet using blooms you personally bring, making every arrangement unique. There is no “right way” to create here ; some bouquets will be minimal, others wild and expressive, each reflecting the woman who makes it. This gathering is for women who crave beauty in the little things and rarely take time to pour back into themselves. You’ll leave with a bouquet made by your own hands and the feeling of having given yourself a soft, intentional break. Come as you are; let the flowers and the conversations do the rest! **✨ What to expect:** * A gentle, creative flower moment for women * Time to slow down, talk, and create your own bouquet * A cozy café atmosphere with meaningful conversations. **⏰ When:** Saturday\, May 30\, 2026 \| 4PM *(16h00)* **📍Where:** 17 boulevard Morland · Paris **🌐 Language**: English ☕ One drink minimum at the venue 📇 Registration on Meetup 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Feel free to bring a friend *(upon Meetup registration)* ⏱️ **15‑minute late policy**, out of respect for other participants and to start the workshop on time 👋 On arrival, please ask for the **“Elumea team”** at the café **💬 For any questions or comments, feel free to post directly on Meetup** 🌸 We are not professional florists ; this is a relaxed, creative gathering *** We can’t wait to meet you and spend a lovely evening together. 🌿 **About Eluméa** Eluméa is a community created to bring women together through meaningful conversations, shared experiences, and genuine connection. 📷 Instagram: **@elumeafoundation**

Monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners. One specific topic, one to three actions you can run this week. You can be the best at what you do and still be invisible. If local buyers cannot find you, the phone does not ring. Marketing Monday Lunch + Learn is a monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners focused on building relationships, local networking, and local marketing. Every kind of local business welcome. No pitch round, no pressure, no upsell. **This month** Most local businesses pick one or two places to be visible and call it good. The result is inconsistent calls and a feeling that marketing is not working.
