Theme: On the road to more joy

Joy is within everyone's reach. It makes life lighter and more beautiful. Yet it can be hard to get in touch with when we're preoccupied or going through difficult times. At such times, grief, anger and fears can take over.

In this afternoon talk, we'll look at how emotions impact on our vital energy, and how we can better manage them to move towards greater lightness. We'll also look at some concrete ways to feel better and bring more joy into your life. I invite you to come and share your joy with us.

One Friday a month, our afternoon talks allow us to discuss a different theme at each meeting, in a warm, welcoming, safe and friendly environment.

We look forward to hearing from you!

During a night out on her 40th birthday, Alice meets three aspiring filmmakers who happen to be in need of a place to live.

The order of the cards in trump is as follows:

Joker

Trumps: Ace, King, Queen, 10, 9.
