Barefoot

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, April 25, at 14h** My phone number is 0472 92 11 76, in case you need to communicate with me.

If you have a ball, please bring it... Let's gather at the Parc du Cinquantenaire close to the Tour de Tournai (https://goo.gl/maps/RsxFtTJydq92) and organize a *low-level* football match on the grass. Unless it rains badly as we're about to play, the game is on. Players of any age, weight, sex and size are allowed. Come as you are, at any time after 4pm. IMPORTANT REMINDER -- As Shitty Players, we don't bite or growl when someone misses the ball. We don't do penalties or yellow cards because we're so gentle we don't need them. We vaguely know of the existence of other rules like off-side but we'd rather ignore them than argue about them. We may or may not keep track of the score: this is a game where everyone wins. To help build the Team, come with 2 t-shirts white and black (or similar colors: light grey and dark blue etc). Beer session will follow on the grass, for those who survive till the end. You can also join the Facebook group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/176606662846112/?ref=aymt_homepage_panel https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/a/b/3/600_460870931.jpeg

The south of Limburg is well known for seeing blossoms in April, but did you know that they can also be seen in West-Flanders? Since this year the town of Dentergem is actively promoting blossom hikes on its territory. The weather for Saturday looks great, so let's check it out! The hike will start in Deinze, a small city on the Scheldt that has a very good train connection to Brussels. In the first part of the hike we will walk along several canals till we reach Dentergem. Once there we will do part of the newly-created blossom trail. Several farms on the way actively promote the trail, so we might have the option to buy some local products. The trail ends in Markegem, where we have a beer in a bar in the middle of the fields. Afterwards we take a De Lijn bus to Waregem, where you have connecting trains to Brussels, with a change in Ghent or Kortrijk. Important: As the number of participants is limited, it is important that you manage your registration responsibly: only sign up if you really intend to come and cancel as soon as you know you can’t (this also goes for people on the waiting list!). We will try to keep close to an average speed of about 5 km/h. We will walk mainly on unpaved roads. I’ve not tested this track beforehand, so it’s possible that there are some mistakes in the planning. ●●You can find the track here: https://loc.wiki/t/260606946?wa=sc ●●Meeting point: We meet at 10h08 in Deinze (in front of the station, Statieplein). If you start from Brussels-South, you should take train IC 3631 direction Aalst & De Panne at 8h53. This is a direct train. If you miss this train, you can take another train ten minutes later, but then you have to switch in Ghent-Sint-Pieters. I live in Ghent, so I will jump on the train there. Let's try to meet in the first car of the train. ●● Train tickets: Return ticket to Waregem should be ok, or two separate tickets Brussels-Deinze and Waregem-Brussels. ●● Back to Brussels: In Dentergem we first take a De Lijn bus to Waregem. There is only one bus every two hours. We aim to make it for the 15h45 or 17h45 bus. On the bus you can buy a ticket with a debit card. The return journey to Brussels takes approx. 1h30 minutes. ●● Specifics: Distance: ca 25km Elevation gain: 14m Net walking time: ca 5-6h Weather forecast: Looks great for the moment. In the unlikely case of too bad weather, we may cancel a hike, even few hours before the event. If this must happen, we will of course update the Meetup website and send out an email to those registered. So it is important to have access to either the meetup website or your emails. ●● What to bring: * Comfortable hiking clothes &shoes * rain gear (just in case) * water + food for the breaks * sun cream * Compeed for blisters * some small money for drinks ●● Basic rules: Please RSVP only if you really intend to come. And if your plans change, update your RSVP asap, even hours before the walk. This is basic courtesy towards others. Repeated late cancellations are not well considered (at all). No-shows are even worse. Do not show up for a hike unless you are on the “going” list. People with the "go-with-the-flow" label are only moved from the waitlist 24 hours before the hike. I give you the label "go-with-the-flow" if you did not show up in one of my hikes before, or if you canceled for one of these hikes less than 24 hours in advance without a good reason. ●● Acknowledgement of member responsibility and release of liability: You are responsible for yourself and should be fit enough if you want to take part. As the participation in the events is strictly voluntary and you freely choose to join, it is the responsibility of individuals participating to ensure that they are fit enough and have adequate coverage to protect themselves. By signing up for this event, you agree to release the organisers from any responsibility and liability. Moreover, the organisers aren't tour operators, so they don't feel obliged to answer to every text message or email!

Come and join this 15+ km hike in the Forest de Soigne. The walk will give us a true (!) forest spring experience 😊 with young leafs, anemone and hyacinths. 💮🪻 Participants can use either bicycle, car or train to get to the assembly point Parking PLEK Restaurant & Coworking, Duboislaan 1, 1560 Hoeilaart. A train will stop at 10:22 at station Groenendaal, from where it takes 15 minutes to the car park. This train stops at many stations in Brussels, i.e. Central 09:52, Schuman 10:06, Bosvoorde 10:18. We will leave at 10:45 from the car park. The circuit allows us to have a nice drink on the terrace before returning to our transport. There's only one train per hour back to Brussels, so either 14:32 or 15:32. During the hike we will stop for a bring-your-own-lunch and there is the promise of passing by some undergrowth beautifully covered by hyacinths. and that is an understatement. 😊 Come along for this talk and walk!

[This is a paid event and sign-up via the website is obligatory](https://www.wordcraft-collective.eu/courses/the-unit-and-the-whole%3A-how-to-construct-your-poetry-pamphlet). After running this very successful workshop in autumn 2025 we are running it again for those who might have missed out the first time. In this workshop we will explore how to bring together a group of poems to produce a pamphlet or book. We will explore the notion of the poetry pamphlet versus full collection in terms of the function and purpose of each and how they operate. We will think about structuring a body of work, how to sequence poems and what the organising principles might be. How does the placing of poems together change or enhance the poem? How do we build on and around key themes? We will look at examples of published pamphlets and books to consider how and why authors have brought poems together in the way they have, identifying the choices and opportunities available to poets. Participants are encouraged to bring along their own poems or projects in progress to discuss with others in the group. This workshop is run by poet Paul Stephenson, who has published three poetry pamphlets and one collection.

Dear WWs, On this Sunday we will walk in the area of three natural areas. Our meeting point is close to Chalet du Laerbeek where we can enjoy after our walk.

If there are any problems, you can call or WhatsApp Jing at 0486484016 Please wear proper hiking shoes and clothes depending on the weather condition. It might be muddy at some parts.

This hike is a public transport accessible event.

On this hike we discover the many beautiful ***unpaved roads of Flemish Brabant***.
