Deep Talk / In English

Let's have a weekly deep talk in an intimate Parisian café, share a drink and have a good time with like-minded, lovely and chill people. ☕ We're here to sip life in a childish, simple and non-serious way. When was the last time you had a meaningful conversation? Or deepened your relationship with someone in your life? It's not easy to have a deep conversation. While small talk, which is typically casual and light-hearted, can help break the ice, it may not necessarily help you form a deep, emotional connection with someone. Whether it's with your friends, family, colleagues or romantic partners, having meaningful conversations is important for creating strong bonds. "Meaningful conversations help us understand ourselves and those around us better. They involve sharing important aspects of ourselves and actively listening, validating and connecting with others." We believe that a happy and healthy life is built on beautiful relationships and that loneliness kills us. That's it. It's not the number of friends that counts, it's the quality of the relationship. ✅ This group is adressed to : ● People who want to build deep, genuine and caring relationships in a small group that looks the same, where they feel comfortable and emotionally safe to talk emotionally and get intimate about anything in their lives. ● Simple, loving, kind, hyper/sensitive and lovely people who spend a lot of time in their bubble thinking about the meaning of life, passionate about personal development, philosophy, meaningful conversations, debates .... ⛔ Please don't subscribe if : ● You don't see yourself in the group's aims and beliefs. ● You're travelling for a short period of time and don't live or intend to live in Paris. ● You are not sure if you will be able to come, please update your status to allow others on the waiting list to join. An absence without notice will result in an irrevocable ban. Progress : ● ❗ For reservations, I'll send you a private Meetup message at least 5 hours before the meeting to confirm your reservation. If I don't receive a reply 2 hours before the meeting, I will send you a second message to let you know that you will be replaced by someone on the waitlist. ● We keep the session small, cosy and relaxed in a quiet place, prioritising regularity to encourage intimacy, connection, listening and speaking. (\~ 5/6 people) ● On arrival, if you feel comfortable, you will be suggested to choose and associate several drawn Feelings and Needs cards to express how you really feel at the moment, to talk about ourselves and communicate effectively. ● The best way to make progress is to make the conversation easy and natural, with everyone making an effort to suggest and write down what you want to talk about. You can write down your favourite topics/questions before the meeting. The meeting is participative and invite everyone if you feel comfortable being a leader and a power of suggestion. Anyway, to keep the meeting running smoothly, I'll animate the meeting to make sure the conversation doesn't get wild or boring and I wouldn't hesitate to reframe people. In case of lack of inspiration we have a lot of deep conversation question card game which can help to find interesting questions. ● (Not compulsory) After the meeting we can finish in a nearby restaurant for those who wish to relax or continue our conversation. Advice for a good moment : ● Leave your ego and mask at home, we are not here to impress anyone but to be ourselves with our strength, weakness, pride and shame. Come with an open/deep/emotional/complex thought and vulnerability. ● Ask open-ended questions and invite the other person to describe what a situation was like for them or how they felt. ● Don't hesitate to be vulnerable and share information about yourself if needed. Consider sharing personal information first to gain the other person's trust. ● Adopt an attitude of curiosity and genuine interest in what the other person is saying. Be thoughtful and try to put yourself in the other person's shoes so that you can see things from their perspective. Be truthful, caring and honest. ● Listen actively and ask follow-up questions. ● Be empathetic and offer emotional validation so that they feel seen and heard. It is forbidden to judge, but try to understand. ● ⏱ Be aware of your speaking time for Equally Speak. ● Be aware never to provoke political or religious ideologies, but to accept differences of belief. Advice on non-violent communication can be given in the meeting to learn not to unintentionally hurt anyone when requested or needed. ● Remember to maintain a safe, and benevolent environment. People who are considered to be disruptive, problematic or simply not in tune with the energy of the group will not be allowed to return. Finally, we're hug-friendly !!!

80km vers la cathédrale de Chartres † 🌙 🥾 🌳

Bonjour tout le monde ! J’organise ces vendredi/samedi 25 et 26 Septembre une randonnée de 80km depuis Dourdan vers la cathédrale de Chartres † (400D+ environ) 📣 Niveau de difficulté : **5/5 (Hardcore. La condition physique seule ne suffit pas. Une volonté de fer est nécessaire)** 🥾 Allure de 4 à 5 km/h - Durée totale d’environ 18h (incluant les pauses). On randonnera donc de nuit au départ. 🚂 Rendez-vous à la gare de Dourdan le Vendredi 25 Septembre pour 22h00 (terminus du RER C). Depuis Chartres à l'arrivée le Samedi, des TER seront disponibles toutes les heures pour revenir sur Paris. 🌍 https://www.visorando.com/randonnee-paris-chartres-par-le-gr655-7 (nous suivrons la trace depuis Dourdan, et non pas depuis Paris) N’oubliez pas votre pique-nique (et une bouteille pour ceux qui veulent 🍷) **Règles de la rando** ⚠️ **\- LISTE D'ATTENTE NON ACCEPTÉE** \- Rando sans plan B\. Ceux qui abandonnent devront commander un Uber pour rentrer chez eux\. \- Tranche d’âge de 25 à 60 ans **maximum** (cf. règles générales du groupe) \- Événement gratuit \- Je me réserve le droit de déplacer ou d’annuler la randonnée en cas de mauvais temps ou en cas d'empêchement personnel de dernière minute \- Chacun randonne sous sa propre responsabilité \- On ne fume pas pendant la rando 🚭 **Infos pratiques** 🤔 \- Chacun apporte son casse\-croûte du midi 🍔 \- Chaussures basses ou hautes au choix \(hautes idéales si besoin de stabilité\) 🥾 \- Lampe frontale obligatoire **Avis à la population** 📣 Je tiens à rappeler que mes randos s’inscrivent dans un cadre bon enfant. Elles doivent rester agréables et détendues pour tout le monde. Elles sont gratuites, non professionnelles et me demandent du temps pour l’organisation. Je prierai donc les personnes mécontentes des règles de mes randos (en l’occurrence celle concernant la tranche d’âge) **de simplement passer leur chemin**, en évitant toute invective dans les commentaires, qui n’aurait qu’un effet délétère et non constructif. **Important** ⚠️ Vous serez positionnés en liste d'attente par défaut. **==> Merci de me contacter en privé pour valider votre inscription à cette randonnée particulière.** Cela permettra de confirmer votre condition physique (outre le fait que vous aurez lu ce descriptif jusqu'au bout). Au plaisir de vous rencontrer ! Yann 💪 Meetup / Groupe « Hiking near Paris » +33 6 75 45 23 45
