Poetry Reading in a Bar: Gentle Words & Deep Ideas 📖đŸč✹
Poetry Reading in a Bar: Gentle Words & Deep Ideas 📖đŸč✹
**Welcome to the Paris Poetry Circle!** Now in its 30th year, our English-language poetry reading group continues to bring together lovers of verse and thought in the heart of Paris. 🎉 Join us this Wednesday evening for a gathering of minds and voices as we read and reflect on poems that move, challenge, and illuminate — all shared over some quiet drinks. đŸ«–â˜•ïžđŸ„€đŸ§‰đŸč We seek poems that are clear yet profound, sweet or serious — those that carry us forward and help us make sense of the world. We steer clear of the obscure or needlessly complex; we value clarity over cleverness, sincerity over show. Each poem is read anonymously to begin with, without revealing the author, allowing space for open, unbiased interpretation. We then explore it together — carefully, curiously — to uncover what lies beneath the surface. After the meeting, we write a letter of thanks to the living poets we have read at the group, to thank and congratulate them. We revere all the poets of this world. The group is small — usually six or seven thoughtful individuals, up to a maximum of ten. The conversation is warm, intelligent, and grounded. There is no performance, no pressure to contribute, and no cost. Only a shared pursuit of insight, beauty, and fellowship. If that resonates with you, we’d love to welcome you. Bring a poem, or simply bring yourself. 📚✹

L'économie à l'Úre de l'IA Générale : vers un post-capitalisme ?
L'économie à l'Úre de l'IA Générale : vers un post-capitalisme ?
L'IA GĂ©nĂ©rale, et la robotique qui l'accompagne, reprĂ©sente un potentiel d'automatisation sans prĂ©cĂ©dent. C'est la valeur productive de l'humain au travail elle-mĂȘme qui est questionnĂ©e. Une nouvelle Ă©conomie semble nĂ©cessairement devoir en rĂ©sulter. Cette soirĂ©e sera l'occasion d'explorer cet horizon, ainsi que les autres questions posĂ©es par la l'IA Ă  notre modĂšle Ă©conomique. Quel est l'impact rĂ©el de l'IA sur l'Ă©conomie ? Y a-t-il un phĂ©nomĂšne de bulle dans l'IA ? Comment les IA peuvent avoir accĂšs au systĂšme financier (par ex. via des portefeuilles de cryptomonnaies) et quelles en sont les consĂ©quences ? Quelle reconfiguration de la notion de "valeur" Ă  l'Ăšre de l'IA ? Faut-il se prĂ©parer Ă  un post-capitalisme et quelle forme pourrait-il avoir ? Avec la participation d'Axelle ArquiĂ©, docteure en Ă©conomie spĂ©cialisĂ©e dans l'impact de l'IA. Programme : 18h30 - 18h45 : intro 18h45 - 19h30 : l'Ă©conomie Ă  l'Ăšre de l'IA - par Axelle ArquiĂ© 19h30 - 20h : balade prospective au pays du post-capitalisme - Flavien Chervet 20h - 21h30 : cocktail et rĂ©seautage Un grand merci Ă  notre partenaire pour la soirĂ©e, Humanskills, grĂące Ă  qui nous aurons un super espace et de quoi grignoter pendant le temps d'Ă©change !

Libérer le travail dÚs la genÚse : l'expérience Yemanja
Libérer le travail dÚs la genÚse : l'expérience Yemanja
**LibĂ©rer le travail dĂšs la genĂšse : l’expĂ©rience Yemanja.** Suivre son intuition, choisir sans y penser une organisation qui nous ressemble. C’est le pari de **Yemanja**, fondĂ©e en 2015 par **Marie Vaillant** et son associĂ©, inspirĂ©s dĂšs le dĂ©part par *Reinventing Organizations* de **FrĂ©dĂ©ric Laloux**. D’emblĂ©e, Yemanja nourrit une conviction : **le travail peut ĂȘtre libĂ©rĂ© dĂšs la genĂšse**, si l’on fonde l’organisation sur la responsabilitĂ©, l’authenticitĂ© et la raison d’ĂȘtre plutĂŽt que sur le pourvoir restrictif et le contrĂŽle. Ce n’est pas une transformation vers un modĂšle plus « libre » : c’est une entreprise **nĂ©e dans ce paradigme**, qui le vit et le rĂ©invente depuis dix ans. Yemanja conçoit et rĂ©alise des **espaces de travail professionnels**. **Elle dĂ©veloppe son** propre espace intĂ©rieur d'**organisation de maniĂšre** assez **singuliĂšre** : * pleine autonomie devant le client, * pas de managers, ni de micro-management, * libertĂ© d’organisation du temps, congĂ©s illimitĂ©s, * partage de l’information financiĂšre, * des rituels en rĂ©sonnance... Au cƓur de tout : reconnaĂźtre l’énergie, le talent, la singularitĂ© de chacun — artisans, chefs de projets, fonctions support — et leur donner la lĂ©gitimitĂ© d’agir. Dix ans plus tard, aprĂšs des phases d’expansion et de contraction, Yemanja continue d’incarner une **dĂ©marche rĂ©solue, radicale et irrĂ©versible** : celle d’une entreprise qui choisit, dans l’abondance comme dans l’adversitĂ©, de rester fidĂšle Ă  ses principes d’origine. **Au programme de la soirĂ©e :** · Accueil, Introduction rapide de Yemanja : identitĂ©, mission, · DĂ©couverte de l’entreprise comme un Ă©crin. Visite de la Source, un lieu inspirant au sujet des modes de travail, · Double TĂ©moignage de Marie Vaillant et d’une collaboratrice ou d’un collaborateur : motivations, difficultĂ©s rencontrĂ©es, apprentissages
 · Temps d’échanges ouverts : interrogations, retours d’expĂ©rience, possibles adaptations, perspectives · Conclusion Ă©piphanique et conviviale autour d’un verre. Nous serions trĂšs heureux de vous compter parmi nous ce 21 janvier — pour partager, questionner, s’inspirer et peut-ĂȘtre faire naĂźtre de nouveaux contours dans vos propres structures. Attention, places limitĂ©es : Merci de bien vouloir **Ă©crire Ă  Soizic soizic.thiebaud@happywork.pro afin de recevoir votre invitation par mail** en plus de votre inscription via la plateforme Meetup.

Cosy Cave Conversations // 10Úme // Café philo in English
Cosy Cave Conversations // 10Úme // Café philo in English
**Step into the laid-back charm of Cosy Cave Conversations**, a Parisian philosophy chat that's more relaxed than a cat in a sunbeam 🐈 🌞 Gather with a bunch of easygoing souls, share thoughts on the good life and its mysteries, enjoy a beverage, and have a good laugh. A few things to be aware of: * **Please** **don't show up without a spot** (we aim to keep it cosy and we always have a waiting list these days — check if you’re on the list or the waiting list) * If it's your first event, it's essential you **turn up early, or at the latest on time (<7pm)** so you understand how it works, what the topic is and don't interrupt the session * The **session runs from 7pm to 8:30pm** where we focus on the discussion, but don't worry, you'll have a chance to socialise, introduce yourselves and continue the chat after the session. **If you’re running late** (the curtains are closed), that’s okay, but please wait to join us in the break rather than interrupting the session. * Please read the **tips below** for a good session before coming along **How does it work?** We embrace the cafĂ©-philo method — proposing intriguing topics on the night (up to 3), choosing one together, and diving into everything from consciousness, community, death and god, while managing to keep it light and easy 🩩 **Forget the stiff atmosphere**, we're all about small groups (\~10 people) and unpretentious chats with no homework required. No need for a philosophy degree, just bring your open mind and a dash of curiosity. **Join us every Wednesday 19h-20h30 at Les Acolytes** — because pondering the profound is better with good company (and a pint). See you there! 🎉 A few tips for a great session: * come with an **open and curious mind** 🧠 * **prioritise listening to others and asking questions** without interrupting or long monologues 👂 * we put a strong **emphasise on giving everyone a chance to contribute to the discussion**, so try and be aware of how much space and time you take up when speaking đŸ»â€â„ïž * we prioritise **intellectual accessibility**: this is not an academic group therefore we ask to keep any philosophy jargon to a minimum and instead explain any concepts in plain english đŸ€  * we are an **apolitical group** that focuses on discussing and exploring philosophical ideas without endorsing or aligning with any specific political or religous ideologies. Our aim is to encourage open, unbiased dialogue centered on philosophical inquiry within a safe and respectful environment đŸ„
Socrate : Oser penser Ă  contre-courant
Socrate : Oser penser Ă  contre-courant
**Inscription obligatoire via ce lien :** https://www.eventbrite.com/e/socrate-oser-penser-a-contre-courant-tickets-1979628484086?aff=oddtdtcreator Et si penser par soi-mĂȘme Ă©tait dĂ©jĂ  un acte de rĂ©bellion ? Socrate n’était pas seulement un vieux sage : il questionnait, dĂ©rangeait, et remettait en cause les certitudes. Sa force ne rĂ©sidait pas dans le savoir, mais dans l’audace de dire « je ne sais pas » et de continuer Ă  interroger sans relĂąche. Face aux Ă©preuves et aux pressions de son temps, il a tenu sa posture avec luciditĂ© et constance. Cette confĂ©rence participative propose de plonger dans cette expĂ©rience : quelques extraits des dialogues de Socrate seront interprĂ©tĂ©s, suivis de discussions et d’exercices pratiques pour sentir ce que signifie penser, questionner et rester libre. Nous terminerons nos Ă©changes autour d’un verre de l’amitiĂ©, pour prolonger cette exploration dans la convivialitĂ©. **Tarif unique :** 7€ **Nous trouver :** Espace FalguiĂšre, 12 rue FalguiĂšre 75015 Paris

Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
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. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!
