**A MESSAGE FOR NEWCOMERS:**
*In the three years of hosting this coffee group, I have met many people who struggle with anxieties when coming to an event for the first time. Sometimes, it took them more than one attempt before being able to join.*
*Occasionally, people reach out to me before the event, and I have always been grateful for that as it offers the opportunity to communicate with each other and to find the best and most gentle way for that person to join the group.*
*I would like to encourage everyone who struggles with this to contact me before. It would really be too bad if you can't join us, as it mostly gets better the second or third time you come.*
*In addition to that, if you arrive and notice any signs of nervousness or fear, you can always let me know right then.*

Silent Walk in the Forรชt de Soignes
We will be walking through the forest for a little over 1 1/2 hours, silently, just noticing the world around us and inside us. The idea is to experience the magic of a different type of walking, The invitation is to slow down and notice what is going on inside you and around you.
Very often people experience a closer connection with nature and with self, with sometimes surprising insights.
*Please make sure you are fit enough to go the 4.5 km distance. We will be walking slowly, but we will not take any breaks.*
We will be meeting at the Hermann Debroux Metro at **14h**. (Exit straight ahead after leaving the platform--on the Loxam side).
If you RSVP as coming, please be on time. We will be starting our walk from there 5 min. after the hour sharp.
There is the renovated Maison de Prieur at the exit of the forest where we could gather for a drink or a meal after our walk, depending on what you feel like.
Looking forward to an inward adventure? Come and join us on **Saturday, July 4, at 14h**
My phone number is 0472 92 11 76, in case you need to communicate with me.
Mental Fitness Walk โ coffee & conversation at Bois de la Cambre ๐ณโ๏ธ๐
We spend so much of the week keeping up. With work, with people, with the version of ourselves we're supposed to be. Saturday morning can be different. ๐ฟ
Come and join for an honest conversation and a mindful walk with people who also get it. No pressure to share anything you're not ready to share. You can talk as much or as little as you like; sometimes, just being outside in nature with good people is enough.
*This is part of a series of regular walks for the [Mental Fitness Collective](https://www.meetup.com/mental-fitness-collective/) โ a simple, free morning to step outside, move at a gentle pace, and be around people who aren't performing either.*
**๐Meeting point:** Stella - Coffee Food Bakery (in front of the tram stop Legrand), where you can buy a drink of your choice (optional).
๐๏ธ **Agenda:** We'll take a relaxed walk through Bois de la Cambre and a full loop around the lake, about 4-5 km, at a pace where conversation feels comfortable. We'll finish at the roundabout at the end of Av. Louise.
**Small housekeeping rule:** What happens in the group stays in the group. Whatever is shared between participants during our time together stays between us. It is to make sure this feels like a safe place to be honest.
I'll be there to welcome everyone. Come as you are. ๐ฟ
Free to join, RSVP to save your spot!
โผ๏ธAltough this is a free event, I would like to ask you to try to respect each otherโs time: In case you wonโt be able to make it or change your mind, please cancel your attendance by **8 PM, 3 July** the latest, so others might be able to take your place. Thank you!
I look forward to seeing you!
*The event is weather-dependent.*
*This walk will run every other Saturday. Each one is standalone, so come whenever it works for you. Join our group, [Mental Fitness Collective](https://www.meetup.com/mental-fitness-collective/) and get notified of our events.*
When the World Sleeps by Francesca Albanese
๐ Book Club Invitation: When the World Sleeps: Stories, Words, and Wounds of Palestine by Francesca Albanese
For our next meeting, weโll be discussing When the World Sleeps, a powerful and deeply human exploration of life under occupation, the role of language in shaping reality, and the personal stories often hidden behind headlines.
Drawing on years of experience as a human rights expert and observer of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Francesca Albanese examines how narratives are formed, whose voices are heard, and what happens when suffering becomes invisible to much of the world.
The book raises important questions about justice, memory, identity, international responsibility, and the power of words to both reveal and obscure reality.
Whether you agree with the authorโs perspective or not, the book offers an opportunity for thoughtful discussion about conflict, human rights, media narratives, and the human experiences behind political events.
๐
Date: Saturday, 4 July
โฐ Time: 11:30
๐ Venue: Carpe Diem, Avenue de Tervuren 13, 1040 Brussels
Expect an open, respectful, and engaging discussion in a relaxed setting, with good coffee and good company.
As always, youโre welcome whether youโve finished the book, started reading it, or simply want to join the conversation.
Those who wish can stay for lunch afterwards.
๐ก Book Club Home Rules
1๏ธโฃ Youโre welcome even if you didnโt finish the book
2๏ธโฃ We listen to understand, not to win
3๏ธโฃ Curiosity, respect, and openness come first
Looking forward to another lively exchange of ideas.

Deep Conversation - Question Chosen in Session
How do we connect to people? What is so great about being different? Is love selfless? Should we be dreamers or realists? What values are we losing? When are we at our best? Does childhood ever end? Is morality a matter of convenience? What makes a person beautiful?
Such questions, and many more, await you Sunday at Sister's Cafe (second floor) . After introductions we will collect questions from the group participants, choose one by voting then discuss it for an hour. Then most of us stay for drinks and bizarre conversations :-).

๐ง๐ช๐ช๐ธ๐ฎ๐น Language Picnic & Games ๐๐ณ๐งบ๐ธ ๐ฒ (TBC๐ค๏ธ)
What's up Friends! ๐
If the weather gods feel generous ๐ค๏ธ, weโre going full park mode: picnic ๐งบ๐ณ, games, laughsโฆ and a touch of chaos โจ
โผ๏ธIf not - we'll switch to the usual indoor format at Le Pantin or Cafรฉ Leopold PDN.
๐Where
Park Cinquantenaire, Tour de Tournai ๐ฐ (that little castle-looking thingy in the park). Look it up on Google maps! We'll also post some pics of the exact spot. Canโt find us? ๐คทโโ๏ธ Just ping me here.
๐ก The Idea
Chill picnic with multiple language and game groups: Spanish, French - for sure, Dutch, Italian - if there is interest, other languages - TBD. Join a group and speak ONLY that language! Full immersion, baby! ๐ฅ
Bring your own drinks ๐ง, snacks ๐ฅช๐, blanket, and games ๐ฒ๐ธ (sharing always appreciated ๐).
Weโll break into small groups depending on the vibe: languages, games, other chats, sports.
โฑ๏ธ Timing
We kick off at 14:00 under the thickest shade we find. Stay as long as you like. Some of us would likely stay until the sun sets.
Joining later? Just drop a message in the chat in case we decide to move ๐.
๐ฒ๐ธ Games
All games are welcome in the park - boards, cards, balls, random stuff! Iโll have a few with me, but feel free to add your own favorites too.
๐ฆOn the waitlist but really want to join? Or got any questions? Just DM me.
๐ข Extra info might drop in the group chat or via DM ๐ฌ. Check your messages ๐ the day before so you don't miss anything critical ๐.
๐โโฌ The Friends Code:
๐ Games we play = group decision
๐ Linguistic chats = full immersion in one language. No one cares about mistakes. Just speak!
๐ Smaller groups = cozier vibes
๐ Got a favorite game? Suggest it or show up with it
๐ Can't make it? Cancel on time so someone on the waitlist can grab your spot
๐ If youโre on the waitlist, showing up is at your own risk ๐
See you there, folks ๐
Valkenburg Roman Escape: Hike, Catacombs & Community Day Trip ๐ณ๐ฑ
Walk Through Roman History, Hidden Catacombs & the Hills of Limburg
Escape Brussels for a full-day community adventure to the charming medieval town of Valkenburg โ where Roman history, scenic landscapes, underground tunnels, and meaningful social connection come together.

Along the way, weโll discover the story of Magistrate Titus Tertinius Cornutus, walk through Valkenburgโs historic streets and green hills, enjoy a relaxed group lunch, and visit the fascinating Roman Catacombs hidden beneath the town.
Whether youโre joining solo or with friends, this experience is designed for people who enjoy culture, nature, slow travel, and meeting open-minded international people.
