"Mindfulness in a Time of Terror.”  Strategies For Positive Energy During Stressful Times."

Our Special Guests Are:

Susan Lindau
Psychologist

Tom McKenzie
Bassist
Jazz, Pop

Strategies For Positive Energy During Stressful Times. 

You may remember that Susan  lectured on teaching mindfulness to clients suffering from depression. She still  periodically makes presentations to the (US) military on this topic.

What can we do when everything seems so uncertain, when there is anxiety and/or fear?

Says Susan:  “We will smile, laugh a bit and take some steps to connect with our own emotions which we often forget in the midst of doing nice things for our family and our friends. We will smile, breathe, laugh and exchange thoughts on what works.

 Right now: stand tall and feel rooted to the core of the earth.  Breathe.“

Susan’s talk on this fascinating subject, will include a breathing exercise, “game” and a very, short meditation.

***

Susan T. Lindau, LCSW is both a clinician with a private practice in Los Angeles and an Associate Adjunct Professor at the University of Southern California in the School of Social Work.  She got her MSW at the University of Michigan.  A book with a chapter on mindfulness by Susan was released this year.  She also has a novel available through Amazon and is currently completing a book on living in today’s culture of trauma.

Our Special Guests Are:

Edith de Belleville

Tour Guide And Lecturer. Writer And French Historian

Tom McKenzie
Bassist
Jazz, Pop

A New Look At Jean-Paul Sartre And Simone de Beauvoir:

Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir are the Bonny and Clyde of Philosophy.
They are both iconic Parisians who used to hang out in the mythical Café de Flore in Saint-Germain des Prés.

Jean-Paul Sartre invented Existentialism and Simone de Beauvoir was one of the inventors of modern feminism.
But behind the legends, were two human beings whose secrets and complexities were discovered after their deaths.

During their a 50 year union, they each had many affairs and laisons, which they recounted to each other daily, in detail, in cafés. Some see their relationships as liberated. Others see them as depraved. How did they each feel about these relationships? How did these relationships influence their work and legacies?

When such brilliant people fall in love, it makes for a fascinating love story.

Edith de Belleville is a tour guide in Paris and organizes guided visits related to great moments in French history, particularly pertaining to French women. She is also a lawyer and a certified French teacher to foreigners. She is prolific and has written many articles and recently did a radio program with an Australian journalist about Simone de Beauvoir

""My (Part-Time) Paris Life:" The UPS and DOWNS Of Paris Expat Life."
Her Fun And Touching Memoire.

Our Special Guest Is:

Lisa Anselmo
Author, Creative Director, Blogger

Paris As The Answer:

Lisa Anselmo wrapped her entire life around her mother, a strong woman who was a defining force in Lisa’s life―maybe too defining.

When her mother dies from breast cancer, Lisa realizes she hadn’t built a life of her own and struggles to find her purpose.

Who is she without her mother―and her mother’s expectations?

Desperate for answers, she turns to her favorite city―Paris―and impulsively buys a small apartment, refusing to play it safe for the first time.

What starts out as an act of survival sets Lisa on a course that reshapes her life in ways she never could have imagined. Suddenly, she’s living like a local in a city she thought she knew, but her high school French, while fine for buying bread at the corner boulangerie, goes only so far when Paris gives her a strong dose of real life.

From dating to homeownership in a foreign country, Lisa quickly learns it’s not all picnics on the Seine, and starts to doubt herself―and her love of the city.

But she came to Paris to be happy, and she can’t give up now. Isn’t happiness worth fighting for?

In the vein of Eat, Pray, Love and Wild, My (Part-Time) Paris Life a story is for anyone who’s ever felt lost or hopeless, but still dreams of something more.

This candid memoir explores one woman’s search for peace and meaning, and how the ups and downs of expat life in Paris taught her to let go of fear, find self-worth, and create real, lasting happiness in the City of Light

It's The 100th anniversary of "The Lost Generation". Many of us present day Paris Expats are their legacy.

Who Was The “Lost Generation”?

The "Lost Generation" was the generation that came of age during World War I. The term was popularized by Ernest Hemingway, who used it as one of two contrasting epigraphs for his novel, The Sun Also Rises. In that volume Hemingway credits the phrase to Gertrude Stein, who was then his mentor and patron. This generation included artists and writers who came of age during the war such as F. Scott Fitzgerald,^[1] T. S. Eliot, James Joyce, Sherwood Anderson, John Dos Passos, John Steinbeck, William Faulkner, Djuna Barnes, Glenway Wescott, Waldo Peirce, Isadora Duncan, Abraham Walkowitz, Ezra Pound, Alan Seeger, Henry Miller, Aldous Huxley, Malcolm Cowley, Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Erich Maria Remarque and the composers Sergei Prokofiev, Paul Hindemith, George Gershwin, and Aaron Copland.

Gertrude Stein heard the phrase from a garage owner who serviced Stein's car. When a young mechanic failed to repair the car quickly enough, the garage owner shouted at the boy, "You are all a "génération perdue."^[2]:29 Stein, in telling Hemingway the story, added, "That is what you are. That's what you all are ... all of you young people who served in the war. You are a lost generation."^{[2]:29 [3]}

'Lost means not vanished but disoriented, wandering, directionless—a recognition that there was great confusion and aimlessness among the war's survivors in the early post-war years.'^[4]

Ernest Hemingway And His “Lost Generation:”

The Sun Also Rises (The quintessential novel of the Lost Generation) is a 1926 novel written by American author Ernest Hemingway about a group of American and British expatriates who travel from Paris to the Festival of San Fermín in Pamplona to watch the running of the bulls and the bullfights.

  Says David Burke:

“The key figures in this talk at the Paris Soirées are the same as in the literary walk I do in Montparnasse*:  Hemingway and the writers Sherwood Anderson, Gertrude Stein, and F. Scott Fitzgerald, who all helped young Hem enormously, his first wife Hadley, and certain cronies in Montparnasse who asked if they could go to the Pamplona bullfights with him. 

What came out of that was The Sun Also Rises -- much to the regret of the cronies when it came out!  We see how that developed.  But there’s a less-known backstory.  After Hemingway completed his manuscript of the book he went to no end to get his book to the publisher he wanted, but there was a block (I’ll tell you what) and to make it work he betrayed his first benefactor Sherwood Anderson -- the man who had insisted that the young man go to Paris!  His early mentor Gertrude Stein was furious.  Sharp literary exchanges came between the two.  The endgame continued to Hemingway’s death with A Moveable Feast. You will see. "
