Conférence

Maison des Associations, route des bénévoles
"Love beyond attachment" - Hosted by Lama Shedroup. - Love is the propensity to want to make others happy. But do we really know how to love ? Our possessiveness, our grasping, the power of our attachment often form a screen between ourselves and others. How can we see others as they really are, and open ourselves up to the richness of relationship and exchange ? To answer this question, Lama Shedroup invites us, through Buddhist vision, to see how we can overcome our habitual ways of functioning.

Escape Game " La Perle du Bassin"

On 26 april 2024
Maison de l'huître, Rue du Port de Larros
Can you free the pearl HURFANA ? - Are you a team of adventurers from 2 to 6 players ? - For one evening, your mission will be as follows. The Maison de l'Huître is currently hosting the exhibition "L'Huître, la Perle du Bassin". The Hurfana natural pearl, the largest in the world, is on display. But the guardian responsible for protecting this priceless jewel has disappeared. It seems, however, that he had time to activate the security system before he left. Warning : if the secure box in which the pearl is displayed is not unlocked within the hour, it will be destroyed. - So join forces to solve the riddles and deliver the pearl. Scrutinize and manipulate the objects on the game table, and demonstrate your ingenuity and logic… You'll need to be a team player and think on your feet ! - Ages 12 and up.
