Cercle continu des femmes : La voie.x des Madeleines.
Un groupe continu qui chemine ensemble : des rencontres autour d’un archétype, une personne existée, certainement un nombre « innombrable » de dimensions de notre féminin qui nous appellent à être réintégrées.
En présentiel et en ligne ( les dates sont différentes ).
Myriam de Magdala, l’apôtre des apôtres.
Femme, amoureuse du Divin, de l’humain, de la relation qui les unit, de l’Amour qui s’incarne jusqu’au cœur de l’humanité.
On va l’explorer, la rencontrer en nous, au-delà des approximations, visant le plus profond, le plus vaste et le plus juste, au-delà des modes.
On va se mettre en écoute, échanger à ce sujet, lire ensemble, en alternant parole et silence, périphérie et descente dans ce lieu où le souffle lui-même enseigne, car il connaît.
Il est possible de participer à un ou plusieurs.
**Les dates en présentiel :**
**6 AVRIL**
**3 MAI**

Cette transmission, comme toutes celles que je propose, ne s’inscrit pas dans un horizon religieux mais spirituel, là où les traditions se rejoignent et se transcendent quelque part aussi.
Avec amour

Bercy - À ras de terre
Pour le lundi de Pâques, je vous propose une balade photo autour du Parc de Bercy.
On passera par le parc, rails, etc ...
Les thèmes de travail proposés :
1. **À ras de terre**
Nous avons tous tendance à porter l'appareil à hauteur de notre œil.
Et si on changeait de hauteur ?
Essayez de prendre des photos depuis le sol (merci les écrans orientables), travaillez la contre plongée, trouvez des points de vue originaux
2. **Noir & Blanc**
Dans la foulée de l'expo Salgado, je vous propose aussi de travailler votre Noir & Blanc.
Et si vous shootez en RAW, vous pouvez quand même dire N&B à l'appareil, qui vous mettra l'écran en N&B, à charge pour vous de refaire la conversion à la maison.

Un exemple, le premier parc par lequel on passera : https://youtu.be/F84rZU6RgV4

Love, longing & poetry
**Language & Poetry Club - Paris 🇫🇷**
📍 Café de la Mairie
📅 8 avril - 19h00
💸 10€ (places limitées) + ta propre consommation au café
Et si on ralentissait… juste le temps d’un poème ?
Le Language & Poetry Club est une expérience immersive où la poésie devient un terrain de jeu entre langues, émotions et création.
Lors de cette édition spéciale, nous explorerons une sélection de poèmes autour du thème de **l’amour et du désir**, entre lecture, traduction et interprétation collective.
✨ Au programme :
— Lecture du poème (FR / EN)
— Traduction vivante et accessible
— Analyse des thèmes (amour, manque, beauté, intensité)
— Écriture d’une poésie personnelle guidée
— Partage pour ceux qui le souhaitent
Aucun niveau requis. Juste de la curiosité.
Que tu sois francophone, anglophone ou entre les deux, cet espace est fait pour ressentir, comprendre et créer.
🎟️ Consommation obligatoire (hors café simple)
Ici, on prend le temps de se rencontrer autrement, à travers les mots, les silences, les émotions.
Après l’écriture, la soirée se prolonge naturellement autour de discussions, de partages et de rencontres, dans une ambiance douce et ouverte.
Un espace pour échanger, s’inspirer… et peut- être créer des liens inattendus autour de la poésie.
Repars avec tes mots, et peut-être un peu plus.

Lyric writing exercises
Lyric writing weekly group practice.
A few object writing rounds to start, get our reps in — a favorite from the canon, Write Better Lyrics by P. Pattinson.*
Followed by other exercises.
I adapt the program depending on who shows up.
*Object writing : a noun picked through a random word generator, a 10 min timer to delve into our sensory imagination and free-flow with this prompt. We then take turn sharing.
Writers' On-Line Feedback Session via Zoom
This group is for anyone interested in writing in English, whether it be prose or poetry or non-fiction. We get together once a week to listen, critique and support each other in our work. Attendees bring something they have written, six copies, printed out and no longer than seven pages, which they read aloud. They then receive feedback from the rest of the group. The size of the group is limited to 6, so that everyone is able to receive a full 30 minutes of constructive feedback including reading time. If you have nothing to read but would like to come and listen, you are most welcome too. We are an anglophone group and everything is conducted in English, in fact not everyone who comes can speak French. Please bear this in mind if you sign up.

Shut Up & Write!® East Side Columbus
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, April 22 at Streetlight Guild.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
**SCHEDULE:**
6:45ish - Quick introductions
7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
8:00 - The End
**OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
**BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild!
**WHAT SHOULD I BRING?**
Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you!
**OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:**
* **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space!
* **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels.
* **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay!
* **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for April is "Water"
Speak Easy: true stories, told live.
The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast.
Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect.
The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking!
