We will kick off 2026 in full force with the latest masterpiece from celebrated Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. « Chiamaka is a Nigerian travel writer living in America. Alone in the midst of the pandemic, she recalls her past lovers and grapples with her choices and regrets. Zikora, her best friend, is a lawyer who has been successful at everything until, betrayed and brokenhearted, she must turn to the person she thought she needed least: Omelogor, Chiamaka’s cousin. Kadiatou, Chiamaka’s housekeeper, is proudly raising her daughter in America, but faces an unthinkable hardship that threatens all she has worked to achieve » Through Dream Count, Chimamanda marks her grand return to the literary world, 12 years after Americanah. She trains her fierce eye on women and questions the very nature of love itself. Is true happiness ever attainable, or is it merely a fleeting state? The book is available in Luxembourg librairies: www.a-z.lu

Let's do this 3-3.5 hr hike around Beaufort Castle. It's around 11 km long with 280 m elevation gain, mostly though the forest. I like it for its rock formations and scenic views. We'll do the weather check the night before, so please have your notifications activated to stay updated.

Hello Friends! I was told that recently, some new paths in Bambesch were nicely marked. I have't been there since, and I haven't seen anything on GeoPortail yet, so it's time to explore. The basis for our trail is the route we did almost 2 years ago, around 10km, but I will keep my eyes open to the left and right, and if any signs point in an interesting direction, we might follow them. In case it rains, there is a proper shelter for the lunch break, in the heart of Bambesch. We will pass by the lunch area twice and take a break the second time we get there. After the picnic, it's just 1.5km to get back to the start if we're tired, or we take a little detour, depending on the mood. **Meeting Point:** We will meet at the hotel "Sieweburen" and start the hike around 10:50. https://maps.app.goo.gl/6RMGoU7Xg4B1S1tY9 (@Nicole: this is your designated parking position ;) **Public Transport:** There are multiple buses, 21, 33, the destination is right in the middle between the bus stops "Rollingergrund, Roudebierg" and "Rollingergrund, Villeroy & Boch", depending on which direction you come from, one of them is the best. And if you miss both, you will do some jogging as a warm-up :) **Disclaimer:** The hike is at your own risk, and please make sure you wear proper shoes and bring some water for yourself! Looking forward to hiking with you! Jens.

Confidence can be cultivated in many ways—through reflection, conversation, creativity, and practice. In this Confidence Lab session, we’ll explore one powerful pathway: **building confidence from the inside out through physical expression and movement**. This experience is designed to help you reconnect with your body as a source of insight, self-trust, and presence. We’ll begin by grounding into what’s bringing you here, creating space to notice how your body is showing up and what it’s holding. From there, you’ll be guided through accessible movement exercises that invite awareness and choice—isolating different parts of the body, experimenting with movement, and practicing what it feels like to take up space intentionally. Next, you’ll participate in a small-group dance lesson led in a supportive, low-pressure environment. No dance experience is needed. The focus is not on performance or perfection, but on expression, curiosity, and allowing yourself to move with confidence as you are. We’ll close with a reflective group discussion, exploring what emerged during the experience and how these insights can be applied beyond the studio—how you inhabit your body, how you carry yourself, and how you show up in everyday life. **What to know:** * Wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you feel good moving in * No dance experience required * Light snacks and beverages will be provided This session is for anyone interested in deepening their relationship with confidence by listening to their body, expanding their capacity for self-expression, and practicing self-love as an embodied experience. **Featured Speaker: Mary Grace** Mary Grace, the dynamic force behind MG Choreography & Boutique, has been transforming special occasions with her unique blend of artistry and passion for over seven years. As a proud Latina, with Venezuelan and Mexican heritage, Mary brings a rich cultural perspective to every choreography she creates. Her dedication to dance is matched only by her commitment to empowering others through the joy and elegance of movement. Mary’s journey began with a simple passion for dancing, which quickly grew into a thriving business. She specializes in crafting personalized choreography for weddings, quinceañeras, and sweet sixteens, ensuring each event is unforgettable. Determined to make a significant impact in Ohio, Mary established the first-of-its-kind brick-and-mortar location that not only offers a space to practice these beautiful dances but also provides a boutique experience for purchasing or renting exquisite dresses and tuxedos for these special moments. Mary Grace is more than just a business owner; she is a trailblazer for Latina women in the community, dedicated to bringing elegance, joy, and a touch of her vibrant heritage to every event she touches. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*
