SUMMARY:Philo aux Bains: How technofascists took power
DESCRIPTION:What if real power was no longer wielded in ballot boxes or parliaments\, but in lines of code\, digital infrastructures and the messianic dreams of Silicon Valley? In their hard-hitting essay\, Apocalypse Nerds\, journalists Nastasia Hadjadji and Olivier Tesquet analyze the emergence of a new regime of authority they call technofascism: a distributed\, opaque form of power\, where the state reprograms itself like a start-up and visionary billionaires – Musk\, Thiel\, Vance\, Yarvin – sketch out the contours of an anti-democratic future.  \nCombining journalistic investigation and philosophical reflection\, the authors map this shift from the political to the technological\, and highlight a disturbing recomposition of the imaginary of power. Far from a science-fiction dystopia\, Apocalypse Nerds reveals a present already in progress\, where the old tension between Enlightenment and Anti-Enlightenment\, democracy and authoritarianism\, emancipation and selection\, is replayed.  \nWe invite you to come and talk to Nastasia Hadjadji and Olivier Tesquet about this captivating investigation\, which questions our relationship with technology\, democracy and the future. \nThe meeting will take place under the Bains yurt\, free admission.

SUMMARY:Come and sit down\, I'm listening
DESCRIPTION:Viens t’asseoir je t’écoute is the flagship project of RACONTE-MOI\, a non-profit association made up of volunteers who offer a free\, confidential and caring listening space in the public space to all passers-by who wish to participate. The project is apolitical and non-confessional.  \nContext \nThe starting point is a simple observation: our society is more connected every day (transport\, information\, social networks\, etc.)\, yet the social fabric is increasingly fragile. The individual sphere is growing at the expense of the public and social sphere\, people are exchanging less and less easily with their fellow citizens\, and our lives are increasingly individual\, independent of collective dynamics.  \nA number of issues arise from this: isolation\, particularly among the elderly\, the weakening of community life and social cohesion\, and mental health issues rooted in this lack of collective support. \nThis project is part of a general approach that does not target one of these issues specifically\, but by virtue of its flexibility and “broad spectrum”\, it seeks to give fellow citizens the tools to solve these issues through listening.  That’s what this project is all about: developing the concept of benevolent listening within society as a solution to the issues raised.  In fact\, this project attracts both the socially excluded and people intrigued by this format\, to be able to exchange ideas with strangers. \nOn the one hand\, Viens t’assis\, je t’écoute volunteers have been trained in active and benevolent listening: learning to offer attention to others\, developing patience and tolerance\, suspending judgments\, developing benevolence. On the other hand\, they offer passers-by the chance to be listened to and thus have the opportunity to chat with someone (fighting isolation)\, meet people from backgrounds different from our own (pursuing the objective of social mixing and cohesion)\, break down the ego/other barrier (confronting living-together)\, reinforce our confidence in our fellow citizens and in their benevolence (developing social cohesion)\, obtain emotional support by the simple fact of being heard\, and ask for professional help.  \nOn this last point\, volunteers are explicitly asked not to give advice to those they listen to. Volunteers are not mental health professionals\, nor are they intended to be\, since the aim is to be “open to all”. There are times\, however\, when people ask for or need professional help. At this point\, the association’s volunteer hands over to the session coordinator\, who takes the time with the person being listened to to find the local institution that can best meet his or her needs.    \nIn such cases\, Viens t’assis\, je t’écoute can act as a reorientation platform\, linking beneficiaries with aid structures. \nOperational & technical details \nThe organization is very simple: a dozen volunteers per session\, each seated on a chair\, with an empty chair in front of them. To make things easier for passers-by\, the chairs are placed in a line. The association’s sign\, bearing its name (“Viens t’asseoir je t’écoute”) and the key points of the approach (free of charge\, confidentiality\, benevolence\, etc.) is then put up.   \nA key element is location: volunteers need to be visible\, and there needs to be plenty of foot traffic. Unless the aim is to target a specific population (e.g. a retirement home\, a student library\, etc.).  \nChairs are spaced about 1m50 apart: enough privacy\, and enough proximity to make the project visible from the outside. In addition to the 10 volunteers\, there is a coordinator. This person will coordinate the three phases of a listening session:   \n> Briefing (approx. 30 min): introductory tour\, review of the key points of the association’s Code of Ethics (sent to volunteers in advance)\, what to do in certain situations\, sharing of experience\, questions and answers. \n> The listening session (2h30-3h00): the volunteers sit on the chairs\, and the coordinator goes out to meet passers-by to answer their questions\, invite them to participate\, and keep an eye on the volunteers and provide support if needed. \n> Debriefing: feedback on everyone’s experience (without sharing the content of the stories\, which remain confidential)\, points for improvement. \nLink to the Code of Ethics and the practical guide for volunteers: https: //www.jetecoute.org/instructions \nFor volunteer management\, a WhatsApp group is used for volunteer announcements\, and a group for coordinators. Registration is handled via the website. Important point: for each session\, an equitable distribution between old and new volunteers is organized\, to help motivated volunteers gain experience and skills\, and thus enable the project to mature more rapidly. Motivated volunteers can then become coordinators to run their own listening sessions.    \nDeployment & Impact \nTo date\, the association has carried out a total of 19 listening sessions\, involving around 70 volunteers and over 600 people listened to. The project is of great interest to many people and is growing all the time.  \nLocally: demand from volunteers is very high. In less than 30 minutes\, 48 places spread over 4 listening sessions were filled\, from a pool of 140 volunteers. The association’s founders receive many requests for contact\, sometimes from abroad\, via their Instagram account. As a result\, requests for replication in other European cities are pouring in and multiplying. For the moment\, Paris\, Brussels and Lausanne are being developed.     \nFeedback from participants and volunteers: very positive! Volunteers are delighted with this simple yet powerful experience. So were the participants\, some of whom even came specifically to take part. Some participants have been put in touch with professional services to ensure they receive appropriate medical follow-up. Even if the impact is difficult to quantify\, the listening sessions have had real and powerful consequences for the participants.     \nGiven last year’s weather conditions\, many sessions were cancelled\, which is why we are requesting the Rue de la Monnaie space to alternate with the Bains des Paquis for the 2025 season\, so that we can be sheltered during listening sessions. What’s more\, offering these spaces in the center of town and in a high-traffic area makes sense and makes listening accessible to people strolling through the center on Saturday afternoons.  \nIdeally\, sessions will alternate on Saturdays every 15 days at Passage de la Monnaie (subject to approval by the Canton)\, and here are the dates on which we’d like to continue at Bains des Paquis on Sundays between May and October.

SUMMARY:Poetic aperitif
DESCRIPTION:Philippe Gindre\, born in May 1973. He lives in Geneva and elsewhere.  \n\nRefusing honors\nSet off into the background\nLanding on a wire.\n\n\n\nRelié\, Délié is the title of a collection of poems published by Editions des Sauvages in June 2025. Around these facetiously anti-establishment\, offensively positivist and confusingly religious poems\, the author proposes a reading-performance exploring various interactions between poetry and music\, accompanying himself with guitar loops created live with a looper\, as well as interspersing a few musical parts according to the inspiration of the moment. \n\nPhilippe Gindre was angry with school from an early age\, for all sorts of good reasons\, and did everything he could to turn out badly. But books and music\, walks in the forest and river baths prevented him from doing so. He has published three novels\, an album and\, recently\, a collection of poetry published by Editions des Sauvages.

SUMMARY:Full Moon Sauna
DESCRIPTION:Once a month\, when the moon is full\, our winter facilities stay open until 11:30 p.m. so you can relax in the baths under the moon’s watchful eye. Braziers\, ice cubes\, clay and orange wedges add to this moment like no other… \nAufguss ceremonies take place during the evening. This practice of Northern European origin\, associated with Finnish and Germanic saunas\, consists of an “infusion” of steam flavored with essential oils to increase the humidity level. This purifying collective ritual is designed to intensify the benefits of the sauna through an immersive multisensory experience: intense heat\, aromatic scents\, sometimes music\, for a deep sense of letting go and complete rejuvenation.

SUMMARY:LUNA NOVA OBSCURA
DESCRIPTION:Once a month\, at the time of the new moon\, the Spa’s wellness area offers quiet\, introspective mornings: a suspended moment when we withdraw from the external tumult to reconnect with ourselves. The new moon invites us to take a break and relearn how to listen to silence… \nAufguss ceremonies take place during the morning. This practice of Northern European origin\, associated with Finnish and Germanic saunas\, consists of an “infusion” of steam flavored with essential oils to increase humidity levels. This purifying collective ritual is designed to intensify the benefits of the sauna through an immersive multisensory experience: intense heat\, aromatic scents\, sometimes music\, for a deep sense of letting go and complete rejuvenation.

SUMMARY:Apéro Poétique
DESCRIPTION:Reading by Albert Anor \nI was born in Barcelona in 1955 (Sagittarius) and am a deliberate poetry dilettante. I taught visual arts in Geneva for four decades. Married with two grown-up children… I started writing poetry after devouring Antonin Artaud’s work at the age of 17. I share with the Surrealists the precept written by André Breton:      ”  Transform the world\, said Marx. Change life\, said Rimbaud. For us\, these two watchwords are one and the same.    “But I don’t recognize any ancestors when it comes to revolt. In my texts\, I strive to deconstruct preconceptions in an attempt to create new images\, or to disguise them to such an extent that they seem to give rise to a language that is paradoxical in that it is “new” and yet specific to us all\, since it comes close to our weak inner selves.  \nThe aim of this Apéro-poétique program is to present a limited selection of poems written over a period spanning almost fifty years. It is impossible to retrace the full extent of the texts written here\, as it is the nature of an “anthology” to make more or less arbitrary choices\, always subjective and subject to regret.  \nWhile being burns on the other side of thought\, on the other side of words and silences. \nTo risk making known a sensitive opposition to an already too nauseating zeitgeist. Another epic way of remembering myself for others.  \nTo date\, I have published five collections of poetry(Pièges à convictions 2001; Le Chaos en devenir 2002; Éclats d’usure 2009; Pas pressé 2015; Ouvert pour inventaire 2018). \nI have also initiated and co-created collective works: Le Poisson fumée montre son nez\, Cercle des Parfumeurs\, Geneva 2006; Limites hors-limites\, Boîte poétique\, 2019-2022\, donated to the Bibliothèque d’Art et d’Archéologie de Genève (May 25\, 2022); Heureusement que l’on va vers l’été\, experimental text in collaboration with 24 other creators (2022-25). \nIn progress: Fragments du labyrinthe no.1 and Sourire salle d’attente. \nOther cultural achievements: participation in the organization of Poésie en ville in September 2024\, organization of a disrespectful commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Surrealism (October 3-27\, 2024)\, readings at Printemps de la poésie since 2020 with Poètes de la Cité and co-organization of Apéros poétiques at Bains de Pâquis since 2024.

SUMMARY:Poetic aperitif
DESCRIPTION:Reading by Caroline Despont\, accompanied by Loussona Ground \n\n\n\nCaroline Despont\, poetess of intimacy and movement\, explores landscapes \nwith a sensual\, sober\, vibrant language. She writes as one  \nwalks on a ridge: on the edge of the visible and the invisible\, between flesh and silence. \nHer words are born of listening to the world\, to the elements\, to beings. \nThrough readings\, performances and encounters with music and voice\, she \noffers words that invite us to feel\, to connect\, to open up\, to understand. \nBased in French-speaking Switzerland\, her texts have been published in several collections \nand magazines in Europe and Africa. \nHer latest collection La Femme qui attendait la pluie (Tarmac Éditions\, France) has \nreceived the FETKANN Literary Prize! Maryse Condé 2025 – Poetry.  \nThe text Errances inspires the harp and electronic duo AVELUNE in their album \nErrer\, a voluptuous\, nuanced sonic journey (2024\, Claves Records\, CH). \nShe collaborates with Loussona Ground\, sound designer & out of genre musician\, who \ndresses his words in dreamy notes\, creating a unique universe in the image of \ntheir respective approaches\, on the edge of the visible and the invisible. \nTheir laboratory found its first setting in February 2025 at the Public Readings. \nLa Galerie in Geneva\, with a reading of previously unpublished extracts from La Femme qui attendait \nthe rain. \n\n\n \nLoussona Ground explores the introspective world through hypnotic textures and layers of sound\, creating a dreamlike abundance.  \nHer performances combine tape\, ribbon and semi-modular synthesizers. She combines electronics with music boxes\, for which she writes conceptual scores.   \nHer musical journey began in 1975 with the classical violin\, which she quickly brought to life with the discovery of microcontact and effect filters. From her classical days\, Loussona Ground has retained an immoderate love of JS Bach\, which she takes to new heights in her current sets.   \nHis music is compared with the Ambient and Experimental movements of the 70′-80′.  \nLoussona Ground has recently given several concerts at Festivals and also likes to do happenings in unexpected places with a minimalist set.  \nShe has collaborated with Swiss artists such as Consor\, Sam Frank Blunier and Claudia Renna\, and with the Collectif I+\, of which she was the violinist.  \nAmong her many projects\, she is currently working with Caroline Despont\, adding a particular sound dimension to the poet’s words\, an invitation to a unique sensory journey\, on the edge of the visible and the invisible\, in the image of their respective artistic approaches. Their laboratory found its first setting in February 2025 with a reading of previously unpublished extracts from the collection “La Femme qui attendait la pluie” at the Lectures Publiques de La Galerie in Geneva.
