Pratique du Zen - Zazen

Sat, Oct 31, 8:15 AM
From Centre Zen Hakusan

L'horaire est le suivant : 9h15 - Ouverture du Dojo *-Merci de vous assurer d'arriver au Dojo avant 9h25-* 9h30 - Zazen 10h00 - Kin-hin (marche) 10h10 - Zazen 10h40 - Thé et clôture Merci de porter des vêtements amples ou extensibles pour être à l'aise car nous nous asseyons sur de petits coussins, les « Zafus ». Optez pour des vêtements de couleur sombre et évitiez les couleurs vives. Il est également recommandé de porter un Kimono noir ou un Samue (disponibles en ligne). Si vous avez votre propre coussin, merci de l'apporter. [Des Zafus noirs sont disponibles en ligne] > > > Si vous ne connaissez pas le Zen et le Zazen, > > > merci de nous rejoindre à 9h05 **Comment s'asseoir en Zazen ?** S'asseoir sur un Zafu, jambes croisées, demi-lotus ou lotus - avec les genoux touchant le sol. Pour dérouler verticalement le dos : * pousser les genoux vers le sol, * ajuster l'angle du bassin légèrement vers l'avant, * placer les oreilles au-dessus des épaules et étirer doucement la nuque, * pousser doucement le sommet du crâne vers le ciel. Le plan du visage est vertical, le nez se situe sur la même ligne verticale que le nombril. Une bonne position de la colonne vertébrale doit permettre une respiration profonde, c'est-à-dire la libre mobilité du ventre et de la cage thoracique. Les mâchoires sont détendues et la langue repose horizontalement dans la bouche, touchant les dents de devant supérieures. La bouche est fermée, l'air circule silencieusement par le nez. Les yeux sont mi-clos, le regard incliné à 45°. Le champ de vision dépasse 180°, les yeux ne saisissent rien mais accueillent l'image. Les épaules sont détendues, abaissées et légèrement en arrière. Les mains forment le mudra Hokkaijo-in. Le bord des mains touche le bas-ventre, deux doigts sous le nombril. La respiration est celle du bébé : le ventre se gonfle à l'inspiration et se dégonfle à l'expiration. Si des pensées surviennent, contentez-vous de les remarquer sans jugement. Asseyez-vous en Zazen en suivant toutes ces recommandations, puis oubliez-les toutes.

From Hardship Meetups (Formations Cybersecurite)

Bienvenue a la premiere edition de notre Hardship Meetup dédiée a a la formation pratique a la cybersécurité, avec pour premier theme **Sécuriser les Points d'Acces Digitaux de son Entreprise**: **la mise en place de l'authentification a multi-facteur, l'usage des facteurs physiques d'authentification et la gestion des mots de passe**. Notre but est de vulgariser ces notions, enseigner les fondements de leur usage pour divers types et tailles d'activités et partager les bonnes pratiques de notre experience sur le terrain. Le meetup aura lieu a La Maison de Deux Quatre, l'agence reference de communication politique, juridique et politique (https://www.deuxquatre.fr/), **situe Rue de Bourgogne**, en plein coeur du 7eme arrondissement. **Déroulé de l'agenda - Jeudi 29 Octobre 18h30**: \- 0h15 presentation du meetup \- 0h30 vue d'ensemble de l'authentification a multi\-facteur \- 0h30 Q&A / échange avec la salle \- 0h15 rafraichissement Le format est délibérément ouvert et "socratique", c'est a dire que le but est d'avoir reel échange vivant avec les participants. Etant donne que les speakers sont des anciens de l'Ecole 42 Paris, vous aurez tous sauf quelque chose d'académique et pontifiant. La cybersécurité, c'est avant tout une bonne dose d'humilité. Notre evenement est gratuit, cependant notre salle est limitée en nombre de places. Organise by Hardship Technologies (hardshiptechnologies.com) + friends. PS: *En illustration du futurisme italien comme on trouve que ce courant artistique résonne assez bien avec le theme de la cybersécurité*

English Class: Debating

English Class: Debating

Tue, Oct 27, 5:30 PM
From Daily English Conversation
5.0

This is a one-hour class where we try to tackle 2 different debate topics. The first is more lighthearted (such as “Chopsticks are better than forks”) and the second is a bit more serious/controversial (such as “It is a human right for citizens to own guns”). As this is at heart an English class, I take notes of pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary mistakes which we correct together periodically throughout the event. In some cases, other examples are brought up to illustrate a grammar concept, pronunciation quirk, or vocabulary use case. But why debates? To me, a conversation becomes very interesting with some level of disagreement. However, it is extremely frustrating when you have to keep quiet because can't put your ideas into words quickly enough. Debates are one of the best ways to sharpen your fluency. In short, this class is for anyone who wants to practice quick-thinking, concise arguments, respectful disagreement, and persuasion in English 😊 Looking forward to debating with you ! David Recommended Level: B1+ Cost: €8 ⏰ 18h30 📍 Le Grand Breguet. I will be wearing the American flag bandana 🇺🇸
