  The Ciné-Club Films Français with AAWE began in September 2022. The group meets from September through June, in three quarters. 

  We are a group of near native French speakers who want to expand our knowledge of French cinéma as well as polish our conversation skills. We watch a French film, exploring all genres, on streaming and meet once a week on Zoom for a lively and engaging discussion in French.  Why on Zoom? Because some participants are living in London and New York.

  We incorporate face to face get togethers for those living in Paris, an apéro to kick off each season and a lunch to end each season. In between, we may meet once in a while to see a French movie at the theater together followed by a discussion in a café. 

  The group guided by AAWE member Valérie Satterfield, who is French/American, born and raised in Paris. In 1981, she left France to attend (and graduate from) Brandeis University and ended up living in the US for 37 years. In her professional career she taught French to professionals in Boston, Washington D.C. and New York and eventually to school students in independent preparatory schools. She moved back to Paris in 2018.

  Zoom details and list of films will be emailed to you after registering.

  The Missing Monets

  A Presentation by Bruce Dunnet

  Saturday, January 24 

  15h-16h30

  
  

  Like many artists, Monet had a colourful life full of many disappointments in his early years. It was followed ultimately by gratification and success. His family life had everything to do with this and had a direct impact on his art. It provided the models, the inspiration, the investment and subject matter for him to produce some of his greatest work. Some of this 'extended' family did not get to share the eventual rewards of their contributions. In his talk Bruce Dunnet will share his knowledge of Monet's unusual family that set the course of his life and enabled him to achieve the creative heights that he is known for today.

  About Bruce:

  Bruce Dunnet is a Canadian artist and presenter, born near Toronto in 1953. A gifted draftsman from childhood, he sold sketches of hockey players and, in high school, created a photorealistic pointillist painting that he later sold to guitarist, Robbie Krieger, of The Doors when the band performed in Toronto in 1971—an event that made front-page news in his local newspaper and helped launch his artistic career.

  He earned an honours degree in Fine Arts and Art History from Queen’s University before moving to Paris in 1977. There, he worked at the renowned Atelier 17 under Stanley William Hayter, who had taught artists, such as Giacometti, Yves Tanguy, Max Ernst, Willem de Kooning, and Jackson Pollock, the technique of etching. After establishing his own studio, he began exhibiting his paintings and work on paper in Europe and Canada.

  In the 1990s, Bruce shifted his focus to music recording, working in major Paris studios and serving as Country Manager for France for Digidesign–Avid, pioneers and market leaders in computer-based audio production.

  Now retired, he has returned to the study of art history with a focus on Monet, continues to record music, and is currently painting and creating pastel drawings of the cliffs near his home in Normandy.

  Spaces are limited. 

  Please bring tea or cookies to share.

  Neurodiversity: Real Women, Real Stories

  Thursday, January 29

  18h30-20h

  Online via Zoom

  Join us for a powerful and thought-provoking conversation exploring the relationship between childhood trauma and ADHD.

  In this third and final installment of our Neurodiversity: Real Women, Real Stories series, ADHD specialist and psychiatrist Dr. Anne Claret Tournier and AAWE's Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Chair and trauma therapist Chloé Chandler will share their professional expertise and lived experiences, guided by Robynne Pendariès, ADHD coach.

  Together, they will explore topics such as:

  • Where do trauma and ADHD overlap in presentation or lived experience?

  • Can developmental trauma be mistaken for ADHD in childhood, and can ADHD traits be misinterpreted as trauma responses in adulthood?

  • In what ways might undiagnosed ADHD contribute to traumatic experiences over time?

  Rather than seeking definitive answers, this discussion aims to open space for curiosity, highlight differing perspectives, and gently explore where current thinking may evolve. Through storytelling and professional insight, the speakers will reflect on the nuances of diagnosis, the impact of early experiences, and how both trauma and neurodivergence can shape identity and well-being.

  The webinar will conclude with a live Q&A.

  Whether you’re neurodivergent, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in the layered nature of neurodiversity, this session invites listening, reflection, and dialogue.

  Zoom details will be provided upon registration.

  Guest registrations require a code.

  Perception & Palate: Exploring Bias Through Wine Tasting

  February 20, 2026

  18.30-21.30

  
  

  Join us for an evening that’s as bubbly as it is thought-provoking — where wine tasting meets meaningful conversation. Guided by Paris’s own Tanisha Townsend, founder of Girl Meets Glass, this interactive “Price Is Right”-style experience invites you to explore how perception, expectation, and bias shape the way we taste — and the way we see one another.

  Through guided tastings and a playful twist on traditional wine education, we’ll open our senses (and our minds) to what truly influences our judgments. Come ready to sip, guess, laugh, connect and learn — no wine expertise required, just curiosity and an open palate.

  We will be tasting 4 to 5 wines, and (back by popular demand) will be pairing them with a beautiful, artisanal cheese board from our favorite Fromagerie Chatin (for those who remember the cheese board at our Harlem Renaissance event and our Banned Books Week event) !

  You won't want to miss this!

  Spaces are limited. For any questions, please contact Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) Chair, Chloé.

  Location TBD

  We’re generally so supportive of our friends and yet critical of ourselves. How can we change old habits and develop new ones to be our own best friends? What can we learn from our best friends?  Let's share smiles.

  This is a "feel good" moment to share how we can be good to ourselves, especially when things don’t go well or when we make mistakes.  It’s often at this time that our own inner critic comes to the surface. We'll look at how we can deal with this critic, what we can learn from it, and how we can best befriend it to gain strength and positive energy.

  This session will be led by Karen Darmon, certified coach.

  Any questions, please contact Karen.
