Coucou tout le monde, j'espère que vous allez bien. Je suis ravie de vous faire part d'un nouvel épisode où nous allons parler de l'espace du coeur. Il y a plusieurs façons de partir à l'exploration de ce dernier. Nous pouvons le faire physiquement, à travers les backbends, entre autres (extensions arrières). Nous pouvons aussi le faire spirituellement avec ces quatre qualités : la gratitude, l'amour, la compassion et le pardon. Nous allons alors les aborder pour tenter de les comprendre et de les intégrer au sein de notre pratique de yoga. Bonne écoute à toutes & tous

Kris sits down in Wyoming with two absolute legends from the 80's, Jibé Tribout and Arnould T'Kint, to talk about Patrick Edlinger and the birth of sport climbing as we know it.  Belgian climbing legend Arnould T'Kint did the third 8a in the world, and the first outside of the US, as well as reportedly being the first to onsight 8a.  Jibé Tribout is a French and world climbing legend who, through the 80's and 90's, was always at the leading edge of difficulty, from 13a to 14c. They discuss: Pushing grades in the 80's. The origins of free-climbing as a pursuit. The rivalry between Tribout and Patrick Edlinger. The scene at Buoux and Verdon in the 80's. The benefits of friendly competition at the crag. The first actual comps. Tribout playing the villain. Check out more here!

La nature est notre logis. C'est de cet espace que nous tirons notre essence profonde, c'est en connexion avec elle que nous sommes nous mêmes. Elle nous entoure, nous enveloppe, nous réconforte, nous apaise, nous connecte. Cette dernière revêt un caractère sacré. Elle est digne d'un respect absolu et inconditionnel. Nous devons la protéger car elle nous protège. Belle mais fragile, cette dernière nous unit, elle nous rend plus ancré, plus présent. Elle nous le rappelle un peu plus chaque jour. Bonne écoute... & beau voyage

Chers yogis et chères yoginis, j'espère de tout coeur que vous allez bien.Je vous partage un petit épisode pour parler un peu de l'essence de cette très belle citation de BKS Iyengar. La discussion se tournera peu à peu vers le rôle du corps en yoga. Ce temple sacré dont il faut prendre soin. Au delà même du physique, l'asana revêt une logique de "dévotion".De façon très poétique, dérouler son tapis, c'est entrer en conversation avec soi, avec l'univers, avec plus grand que nous. C'est se mettre au diapason avec ce qui est. C'est interagir avec beauté et ouverture à tout ce qui se présente à nous.

Invitée : Noémie Verdon. Atteindre la liberté et lʹamour de soi, en abandonnant ses habitudes, ses peurs, ses carapaces, voire ses vieilles blessures… Cʹest ce que propose le système dʹidées quʹon appelle le tantrisme. Une vision du monde née il y a quinze siècles en Asie, que Noémie Verdon, historienne de lʹInde ancienne à lʹUniversité de Lausanne, décrypte au micro de Matthias Wirz. Référence bibliographique : Noémie Verdon, Tantrisme, un chemin vers la liberté, LʹHarmattan, 2023)

Une vingtaine d'artistes venue du monde entier font l'expérience d'une retraite artistique au Monastère de Ségriès. Reportage Jeanne Lacaille. Fin septembre, une vingtaine d'artistes venus du monde entier ont fait l'expérience de la retraite artistique pendant une semaine dans un ancien monastère cistercien : le Monastère de Ségriès, entre lavande, oliviers et Verdon. Un rassemblement œcuménique où toutes et tous se sont abandonnés avec joie à cette résidence de création collective, intense et exigeante qui donne lieu depuis quatre ans à La Symphonie de Ségriès, une soirée de concerts hors-norme qui pendant 8h entraîne le public, d'un mouvement à l'autre, au fil d'une partition très libre, des jardins à la chapelle du monastère, en passant par son cloître et sa forêt. Certain.e.s sont connu.e.s, d'autres pas, mais toutes et tous ont un jour croisé la route du Souffle Collectif qui interroge la dimension rituelle de la musique live depuis 2013. Celle également du vidéaste Vincent Moon qui, après avoir filmé les stars du rock indé pour la Blogothèque, s'est tourné, pour la collection Petites Planètes, vers l'exploration des cultures chamaniques, des traditions musicales liées à la terre et des cérémonies de transe. Et ce sont donc eux – en complicité avec l'agence Powa et l'équipe du Monastère de Ségriès — qui ont invité ces artistes à expérimenter, entre nature et culture, profane et sacré. Tout ça, sous l'influence d'une super lune, d'une éclipse solaire et de l'équinoxe d'automne, alors autant vous dire que s'orchestre là une aventure vraiment cosmique, où le processus de création compte autant – voire plus — que le résultat final.  Avec : Vincent Moon, Raul Refree (Catalogne), Walid Ben Selim (Maroc), Fransy Gonzalez (Galice), Arthur Larrue (France), Marc Vilajuana (Catalogne), Fanny Perrier-Rochas (France), Neda Caneiro (Suisse/Tessin), Mehdi Chaïb (France), Zoé Perret (France), Li-Chin Li (Taïwan), Tomi Lebrero (Argentine), Yann Hunziker (Suisse), Anja Jacobsen (Danemark), Zora Snake (Cameroun), Abdallah Abozekry (Égypte), Ross Daly (Crète)… Un reportage de Jeanne Lacaille. Bonus : Les Portraits sonoresRoss Daly : Maître des lyres crétoises, spécialiste des musiques modales, l'irlandais Ross Daly vit en Crète où il dirige, depuis 1982, l'école de musique Labyrinth Musical Workshops dans le petit village d'Houdetsi.   Li-Chin Li : Basée à Taïwan, la trentenaire est l'une des rares musiciennes de sa génération à composer pour l'orgue à bouche sheng, un instrument plurimillénaire originaire de Chine.

Dans cet épisode #252, j'ai voulu mettre à l'honneur la communauté des PaTRAILon qui, je le rappelle, fait vivre le podcast, dans tous les sens du terme. Je reçois donc Olivier Vin, alias @olivierheimana. En ses qualités de traileur, graphiste, photographe de trail, j'ai souhaité lui donner la parole pour qu'il nous parle de son parcours et sa place dans le milieu. `De nationalité belge, Olivier a découvert la France enfant, dans le Verdon, en Provence, est en est tombé amoureux. Il a parcouru ses sentiers, se laissant naturellement tenter par le trail. Découvrez comment il a mis un pied, puis deux, dans cet univers, en tant que pratiquant comme en tant que photographe. Et encore merci Oliv pour ton soutien !

Every believer is a student and servant of God, and therefore desires to know God's word. Here Spurgeon moves from the prayer of such a student—to understand the way of the Lord's precepts—to the occupation of the scholar—speaking of the Lord's wondrous ways. Of course, in dealing with these two elements, Spurgeon overflows with gospel delight, taken up with the manner in which God has made himself known in Jesus Christ, and our pleasure in making known God manifest in his Son. But the preacher also wants to drive home that connection between understanding and declaration, between study and service, and so he pleads how the enchantment of divine truth fills our hearts and our mouths with good things. During this season, Spurgeon mentions a couple of times a Tabernacle elder by the name of Mr Verdon, “a mighty soul-hunter before the Lord.” He was one of Spurgeon's gospel snipers, lovingly picking off the spiritually wounded after a powerful sermon. Spurgeon seems to have mourned him particularly, and this sermon is intended to bring others into the same spirit and employment. Oh, for more Verdons in our churches!

As we begin our second hundred episodes, it's only fitting that we turn our attention to second-act openers. These songs often have to return the audience to the world of the show quickly and recast the spell the first act had woven. So, how do you do that? One answer is to give them a song and dance for the ages: this week we talk about "Who's Got the Pain?" from Damn Yankees, written by Adler and Ross, but made famous by Fosse and Verdon.

At some point, we've all asked ourselves the core questions to the meanings of life and the universe. It should come as no surprise that tech's most dynamic players have too, and see generative AI-powered technologies as a way to start answering those questions. This week on Generative Now, Lightspeed Partner and host Michael Mignano speaks with Guillaume Verdon, the founder of Extropic, about the fascinating intersections of physics, AI, and computing. Guillaume discusses how his interest in understanding the universe led him to explore theoretical physics, only to transition into AI and deep learning due to the inherent complexity of natural systems. Additionally, Michael and Guillaume talk about the significance of optimism and adaptability in driving societal growth and technological advancements. They also discuss his creation of the e/acc movement, involvement with the Twitter Anon community, and what Guillaume is doing at Extropic to leverage AI for society's best possible future.   Episode Chapters (00:00) Introduction  (02:15) Quantum Deep Learning and AI (05:27) Guillaume's Career Path (10:17) Scaling Intelligence and Civilization (13:53) Adapting to Change and Growth (17:16) Optimism and Cultural Impact (20:10) Regulation and Policy (27:12) Selective Pressure in AI Development (28:24) The Birth of Based Beff Jezos (32:09) The Genesis of Extropic (35:52) Thermodynamic Computing Explained (41:06) Future of AI and Thermodynamic Computing (45:27) Current Progress and Future Plans Stay in touch: www.lsvp.com X: https://twitter.com/lightspeedvp LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lightspeed-venture-partners/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lightspeedventurepartners/ Subscribe on your favorite podcast app: generativenow.co Email: generativenow@lsvp.com The content here does not constitute tax, legal, business or investment advice or an offer to provide such advice, should not be construed as advocating the purchase or sale of any security or investment or a recommendation of any company, and is not an offer, or solicitation of an offer, for the purchase or sale of any security or investment product.

Ultimately, she returned to running and has gone on to compete at an even higher level than before as a result of proper fueling and weight gain.

Basque superstar Josune Bereziartu first tied in as the 80's were changing into the 90's, after seeing a documentary showing two women climbing in the Verdon. Within those first few months of Josune learning to climb, Lynn Hill did the first 14a ever climbed by a woman. By the middle of the 90's Josune became the 5th woman to equal the feat, which had yet to be surpassed. Her friends suggested she could be the first to climb harder, so she started training to make it a reality. Before the decade would change again, with the performance gap in climbing widening, Josune would push through the pressure and become the first woman to climb 8c, or 5.14b.  And she wouldn't stop there.

Welcome to The Colorado Switchblade, where local matters take center stage. I'm Jason Van Tatenhove, and today, we dive into an election that might reshape Estes Valley's educational landscape.The Weight of a Vote: Election season is upon us. In Estes Valley, the anticipation surrounding the school board election is palpable, with many believing it to be one of the most historically significant elections we've seen. With ballots already mailed out, it's crucial for residents to understand the stakes and cast their votes.Unraveling the Narrative: The Colorado Times-Recorder recently published a revealing piece by Logan M. Davis titled "Something Strange is Happening in Estes Park." Davis's work, known for its in-depth coverage of school board developments in Colorado, shines a spotlight on the undertones of this election. His particular focus? The push for charter schools and its potential implications.This topic is especially pertinent given that two of the election candidates have affiliations with others who championed the cause of charter schools - an initiative that was unanimously rejected in the past. Yet, the fear remains that the issue might resurface, leading to increased financial strains on the community.The Educator's Perspective: To understand how this election might impact those on the educational frontline, we spoke with Andrew Verdon, president of the Esses Park Education Association (Teachers Union). Verdon sheds light on the challenges educators face daily and how board decisions can significantly affect classroom dynamics.A Community Engaged: The broader Estes Valley community is buzzing with opinions. From radio shows to social media platforms like Facebook, residents are actively sharing their thoughts and concerns regarding the election. Amidst this backdrop, it's vital to remember that every registered voter within the school district, from Estes Park to Allens Park, has the right to have their voice heard – whether they have children attending local schools or not.Conclusion: The future of education in Estes Valley hinges on this election. As residents and stakeholders, the power to shape this future is in our hands. As the ballots arrive in mailboxes, the message is clear: understand the implications, be informed, and most importantly, cast your vote.Jason Van Tatenhove, an acclaimed author and consultant, intricately blends his expertise in writing and political activism. He penned the non-fiction work ‘The Perils of Extremism' and several fictional titles set amidst the scenic backdrop of Estes Park, Colorado, such as ‘Colorado's Chance: The Firewalker.' As a consultant with Georgetown Law's Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection and a vocal contributor to MSNBC and CNN, Jason casts a discerning eye on violent political extremism and misinformation, even testifying before Congress on these pressing issues. His writings have found a home in various publications, including Newsweek, Salon, Giant Freakin Robot, and Estes Park Trail-Gazette, seamlessly traversing through diverse media landscapes across Colorado.

Estes Park, School Board Candidates, Speak Up this weekend's community meet and greet.The candidate talks start at approximately (14:37) in the podcast, followed immediately by the interview with the Teachers' Union Representatives (31:55), followed by an in-depth sit-down interview with two candidates: Gaining Personal Insights into Estes Park School Board Candidates (41:55).Greetings and salutations, Switchblade listeners and substack readers! Welcome to a special edition where we dive into the ongoings and future plans for the Estes Park School District through the lens of candidates vying for a spot on its Board of Education. This is the first of a three-part series where we dissect and analyze the stances, visions, and thoughts presented by candidates and representatives from different entities tied to our school district.Brenda L. Wyss: Advocating for Academic Improvement and Mental HealthIn our recent candidate forum, Brenda Wyss introduced herself as a dedicated parent and a professional in local government, having lived in Estes Park for nearly a decade. Though she lacks formal teacher training, her stint teaching English in Japan and extensive tutoring experience have provided her with relevant educational insights.Brenda expressed concerns regarding academic achievement within the schools, highlighting the indispensable yet not all-encompassing role of state testing as a measure of educational success. The alarmingly high number of students battling mental health issues is something Brenda seeks to address by endorsing the new strategic plan's focus on wellness. Her vision involves equipping students with strategies and resources to navigate their mental health challenges effectively.Brad Shocat: A Focus on Quality Over QuantityBrad Shocat, a parent to two boys in the district and spouse to a high school teacher, comes forward with an engineering and MBA background. He brings forth a pragmatic perspective, believing that the district is currently spread too thin, trying to achieve too many objectives at once. Brad proposes a narrower focus, zeroing in on a few pivotal areas to ensure quality and effectiveness in implementation. This, he argues, is crucial, especially considering that current math and English scores indicate significant room for improvement in the basic academic foundation of students.Both candidates were concerned about scores, indicating that only a third of the students are passing math and roughly two-thirds in English. There's a shared belief between Brad and Brenda that strategic, focused improvement is needed across the board.Addressing Teacher Retention and HousingA hot topic that emerged during the forum was the challenge of teacher retention, which is intertwined with the issue of affordable housing in the district. Brenda hinted at the need to address the problem directly and aggressively to attract and maintain quality teaching staff, albeit recognizing budget constraints and her limited ability to promise specific outcomes.Both Brenda and Brad expressed their intention to promote greater collaboration between the town and schools. They pointed towards the need for the school district to utilize better local resources, volunteer organizations, and philanthropic entities to meet its various needs.Union Endorsement and TransparencyThe candidates were also endorsed by the Estes Park Education Association (the teacher union). To secure this endorsement, they underwent a rigorous vetting process, including responding to an extensive list of questions and participating in an interview with a panel of teachers.Transparency and active participation are the common threads in Brenda's and Brad's campaigns. They are willing to engage in various forums, including the upcoming League of Women Voters forum and another at the proposed charter school location. The aim is to provide comprehensive insights into their thoughts, plans, and values and ensure the public is informed and engaged.On the Charter School ProposalInterestingly, the charter school proposal from the last election became a focal point of the conversation, with both candidates officially documenting their opposition to it. Brenda is keen on supporting and enhancing existing institutions without diluting public school funding. Similarly, while acknowledging the validity of questioning and exploring options like a charter school, Brad aligns with the community's dominant voice from the previous year, which opposed the charter school, especially in light of declining, not increasing, student enrollment.In the second part of our series of interviews in today's podcast episode, we sit down for an enlightening dialogue recently featured on "The Colorado Switchblade," two representatives from the Estes Park Teachers Union peeled back layers, revealing the depth and complexity of thoughts, concerns, and hopes harbored within the educational community as a potentially pivotal school board election looms on the horizon.Andrew Virdin, a high school English teacher and president of the Estes Park Education Association (EPEA), and Glenn Case, the EPEA secretary and treasurer, articulated a collective feeling of utmost importance encircling the impending election. The conversation underscored the universal sentiment that this election could carve out the future trajectory of education in Estes Park, revealing patterns and challenges that parallel other regions.A Pivotal Election Amidst a Politicized LandscapeThe election is enveloped by a heightened politicization of school boards, a phenomenon that does not exclude Estes Park. Verdon and Case elucidated the criticality of the situation, flagging concerns about candidates potentially being disengaged from the actual work and environment within the schools. The burgeoning fear is that this disconnect could curtail the effective translation of policy to practice, potentially hindering the advancement of educational quality and equity within the district.With a lens on political hedging and the infiltration of externally funded candidates, Verdon emphasized the necessity of "rolling up sleeves" and diving into the educational trenches, becoming attuned to the authentic needs and challenges faced by schools, educators, and students alike.Teachers: The Silent Stakeholders?Despite being fundamental stakeholders, teachers find themselves in a complex predicament, maintaining a careful balance between political neutrality and active civic engagement. The dialogue sheds light on the subtle pressures and concerns that teachers navigate, ensuring that their political stances or affiliations do not inadvertently seep into the educational space, thereby maintaining an unbiased student environment.Case illuminated this by noting, "There are other teachers who very much feel like the expectation is that they're entirely a neutral voice in that classroom space and that they don't ever let any kind of political opinion come through."The Call for Civic EngagementIn a notable plea resonating through the interview, both representatives advocated for a robust electorate turnout, regardless of individual political alignments and anticipated election outcomes. A unified hope emerged: that candidates who engage significantly and adhere appropriately to the civic process will move forward, ensuring a future where educational policies are molded with genuine involvement and understanding of the educational realm.Charter School Propositions and Community Decision-MakingThe need for community involvement and thorough decision-making processes was amplified through discussions on charter school propositions and administrative decisions. The Estes Park educational community, encompassing teachers, administrators, and committees like the District Action and Accountability Committee (DAC), has actively evaluated and discussed educational propositions and initiatives.In Virdin's words, “Whatever the community decides, I'll stand by that,” echoing a commitment to community-driven decision-making and a veiled hope that the upcoming election will mirror the collective will of an actively engaged electorate.Forward MotionAs the Estes Park community inches closer to a seminal moment that could very well shape its educational future, the call for active, involved, and informed civic participation has never been louder. The forthcoming chapters will reveal how well the electorate responds to this call, determining the future course for educators and students alike in Estes Park.Behind the Campaigns: Gaining Personal Insights into Estes Park School Board CandidatesIn the final segment of today's episode of "The Colorado Switchblade," listeners were offered a window into the lives, motivations, and perspectives of two candidates vying for a spot in the crucial upcoming Estes Park School Board election. Engaging in an in-depth dialogue, the candidates unpacked their journeys, passions, and visions for the future of Estes Park schools.A Commitment Beyond Politics: Meeting The CandidatesIn an atmosphere where the local intertwines with the political, the candidates opened up about their respective paths, which led them to throw their hats in the ring for this pivotal election. One candidate expressed a decade-long relationship with Estes Park, sharing experiences from teaching English in Japan to fervent volunteering in local schools, all underlined by a steadfast passion for education. Another brought forward a blend of technical and managerial expertise, an MBA and engineering background, and a palpable commitment to being a hands-on parent and community member.Fusing Personal Experience with Policy: Housing and EducationThe housing crisis in Estes Park is not just a talking point for these candidates; it's a lived reality. One shared a personal journey of grappling with housing affordability, culminating in building a home with Habitat for Humanity and, eventually, delving into a career focused on affordable housing in nearby Boulder. The infusion of personal and professional insights into housing challenges offers a promising bridge between understanding community issues and advocating for policies that can drive change. The proposed connection between stable housing, community sustainability, and school enrollment was a poignant touch, revealing the interconnectedness of local issues.Vision for Educational Enhancement: Business and Administrative ExpertiseNavigating through the nuances of school administration, Brenda Wyss radiated spirited support for the current superintendent, citing a history of competent and compassionate educational administration. Meanwhile, Brad Shocat, leveraging a robust business background, hinted at ensuring impactful and cost-effective strategies to be implemented in the district, aiming to align and amplify the teachers' hard work already being put in.The Path Ahead: A Blend of Administration and InvolvementWith a unified acknowledgment of the significance of the upcoming election, the candidates shared glimpses of their visions for Estes Park schools. From exploring innovative solutions like guaranteeing preschool spots for district employees' children to being unwavering supporters of the existing educational leadership, the candidates illustrated a readiness to think both within and outside of conventional policy boxes.In an election underscored by tangible and aspirational community needs, the candidates presented themselves as political entities and as parents, professionals, and community members deeply intertwined in the fabric of Estes Park's daily life. The ongoing dialogue fostered a platform where personal experiences, professional expertise, and policy perspectives melded, offering listeners a holistic view of the candidates stepping forward to shape the educational future of Estes Park.Jason Van Tatenhove is the author of the non-fiction book ‘The Perils of Extremism.'

Une chute et c'est la mort. Voilà comment pourrait se résumer la pratique de l'escalade en solo intégral. Cette discipline qui consiste à grimper sans corde ni aucun matériel de protection est aujourd'hui mondialement célèbre. Mais 30 ans plus tôt, un jeune homme du nom d'Alain Robert réalisait déjà les solos les plus téméraires du monde. Mais à l'époque, il est rangé chez les fous. Aujourd'hui, il souhaite raconter son histoire en falaises et réhabiliter son héritage autour de trois voies marquantes dont une qui a bien failli lui être fatale. Mais si chuter c'est mourir, pour Alain Robert, grimper en solo intégral, c'est vivre.

Today Annie Sargent talks with Brian Revel about a trip he took in France with his father on the theme of the Napoleon Route. The Villages on the Napoleon Route This route takes visitors from the Mediterranean all the way to Grenoble in the Alps. It is spectacular because the landscapes are ever changing and often breathtaking. The big hits are the village of Castellane in the Verdon, Tauleanne, Senez and Barrême, Chabrieres, Sisteron, Gap and all the way up the Rhone. And since it's all tied to the steps of a fallen Emperor making his way back up to Paris to reclaim what he saw as his rightful place makes it a wonderful story. Accommodations Recommended in this Episode La Maison du Bois Doré B&B in Montagnac-Montpezat For a Deeper Dive into the Napoleon Route Des Racines et des Ailes brief summary of the Napoleon Route on YouTube (in French). The authentic way to retrace the steps of Napoleon is to walk it. This is the walking path between Castellae and Sisteron called GR 406. You'd rather ride or drive it? Look for la Route des Grandes Alpes between Lac Léman in Switzerland and Nice. These guys did it with electric bikes. They did it in a "camping car" (travel trailer) and their cat. A group that did it on motorcycles and tents (and a dog!). With fancy cars and a drone. You get the idea, there are many ways to do this! Bastille Day in Paris Brian spent Bastille Day in Paris and shares tips on where to stand to watch the parade. It is also quite different in Paris than in other parts of France.
