Friday, January 19, 2024: Walking: personal development or spiritual journey?
Roundtable discussion moderated by Frédéric Rochet, Director of Forum104.
Walking is a way of getting to know oneself, of finding oneself, of healing: in our century of lost landmarks, paths have become the
preferred terrain for taking stock of one’s life. A proverb says, “A journey is going from oneself to oneself through others”. Could
be the answer to all our questions? A writer, a psychoanalyst and a pilgrim of Saint-Jacques will testify and
answer questions from the audience:

Jean-Guilhem Xerri, psychoanalyst, coach and supervisor; author of Prenez soin de votre âme (Cerf,2018), (Re)vivez de l’intérieur (Cerf, 2019) and La vie profonde. La santé spirituelle au quotidien (Cerf, 2021)
Patrick Tudoret, writer; author of L’homme qui fuyait le Nobel… jusqu’à Compostelle (Grasset, 2015; Mon Poche,
2018), En marchant. Petite rhétorique itinérante (Taillandier, 2023) and Petit livre de l’amitié (Salvator, 2023).
Blaise Pruvost, comic book artist; author of the graphic novel Six mois et un autre. Un chemin de
Compostelle (Steinkis, 2023)

Friday, March 1, 2024: The path to the stars
Written and performed by Raphaëlle Vincent, multidisciplinary artist
Every night, Raphaëlle Vincent had the same dream: “Go to the star path, a treasure awaits you there!” So, in the summer of 2022, she set out on the road to Le Puy-en-Velay, asking those she met the question: “And you, what’s your dream?”
Taking a spiritual approach to pilgrimage, she has collected over 60 testimonials, recordings, written and drawn portraits.
With these dreams, words, flavors and colors, she has created a show in tribute to the star that guides us. With the help of painted books, frescoes and recorded testimonies, the artist unfolds before our eyes a universe that encourages us to pursue our path with confidence.
(This show is open to all audiences, so it can also be seen by children aged 8 and over).
→ Raphaëlle Vincent is a multidisciplinary artist. Passionate about walking and live shows that impact on the well-being of spectators, she has been happily wandering between art and accompaniment for 15 years. Last July, she completed the first tour of her show
“Le chemin des étoiles”, on the Via podiensis, from Puy-en-Velay to Conques, performing every evening for pilgrims, hosts, locals and the curious, from 7 to 97 years of age!
She is also the author of the shows “La Cabane à rêves” and “La Marcheuse de rêves”.
Following the show :
– Discussions with Raphaëlle Vincent
– Organizers’ stands
– Drinks and refreshments

Walk along the Bièvre Valley

21 km walk organized by Blandine at a pace of 4 km/h.

With the elections coming up so quickly, and so as not to cause anyone any problems, I thought it would be best to modify this step.

Meet at 10:15 a.m. at Antony RER B station, with a 10:30 a.m. departure.

This will leave time for all those who wish to vote to do so in the morning, as polling stations open at 8am.
