Public speaking does not have to feel like a punishment. At Armada Toastmasters, we practise speaking in a supportive room, with structure, feedback and people who want you to improve. On **Monday 8 June**, we are hosting our **Summer Open House** at **GC Elzenhof** in Ixelles. The meeting will be mainly in **English**, with some parts in **Spanish**. You do not need experience. You do not need to prepare anything. Speaking is optional. This is a good session for: * internationals in Brussels * Spanish speakers, Hispanics and Spaniards * beginners who want to feel less nervous when speaking * anyone curious about Toastmasters **Important:** Meetup RSVP is not enough. Please register through the Google Form: [https://forms.gle/RM2wTMm6xsxYCuDZA](https://forms.gle/RM2wTMm6xsxYCuDZA) **Practical details** Monday 8 June 2026 Doors open: 19:15 Meeting: 19:30–21:30 GC Elzenhof (Ground floor) Avenue de la Couronne 12, 1050 Ixelles Bus 95 to “Blyckaerts” Paid parking nearby No wheelchair access The event is free. A **10 € no-show penalty** applies in case of no-show. Please register only if you genuinely plan to attend.

WHAT we play. As you know, we have two events, one more for social games on Thursday and another for **strategic games** on **Monday**. Depending on what people bring, we may play brainy games, not limited to chess and classic games. So, feel free to bring other ones. And this is only indicative. Some games like Decrypto fit both events, **and if people feel like playing a social game on Monday or a more strategic one on Thursday, they are free to do so.** WHERE. Because we have many strategic players on Monday and these games take longer, we moved to a café closing much later than the previous one. CHATBOX USE. In the event chatbox, you are invited to discuss the games you bring and want to play for this session. The idea is to gather people around game tables beforehand. Of course, it's also possible to show up and arrange this after the introduction round, which starts at 7h15. HOST. If you want to become a host and have your board game event for a specific game with a small group of people or in another place, Great! Let me know, and I'll help you set up your event with this group. Hosts don't pay fees. TIMING: Because strategy games are often longer, we gather at 7 pm and start at 7:15. So, those who play long games can have 3 hours and 30 minutes for their game. You can come later, but you may have to wait before joining a game. WHERE. We play upstairs. Ask which room at the bar downstairs. DRINK. You have to order a drink at the bar, pay for it, and come up with it. **PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT, UNFORTUNATELY, THE AUTOBUS ACCEPTS CASH ONLY.** EVENT REGISTRATION. Please register to allow us adequate venue planning. IN CASE OF A WAITLIST. Please, out of respect for people on the waiting list, don't cancel later than 7 PM the day before so they can plan their evening correctly. If you are on the waiting list, please cancel your attendance if you change your mind and can no longer come. Don't hesitate to send me a message to comment or make suggestions! Take care and see you soon! Baudouin

Join me and our small group of yogis for a Monday evening reset at Santosha Yoga Studio (Meiser)! 🧘‍♀️ Every Monday from 20:00–21:00 we move through a gentle flow designed to release tension after a long day, especially if you spend hours sitting at a desk. We begin with an energizing sequence to wake up the body, add a small playful challenge to build strength and confidence, and then slow down into calming stretches and guided relaxation. The class is open to all levels, and you’re invited to move at your own pace and make the practice truly yours. Come as you are and leave feeling lighter, calmer, and ready for whatever the week brings. The class is taught in English. First class: 10 EUR.

More and more people are choosing bicycles as their mode of transportation for daily trips in Leuven. That’s fantastic, but it also brings new challenges: more (and more diverse) cyclists unfortunately also means a higher risk of accidents. Defensive cycling reduces those risks. Defensive cycling means reading traffic, recognizing hazards in time, and adapting your riding behavior intelligently. This ensures greater safety and confidence in traffic. In this theoretical workshop, we will start with an overview of the basic rules (the cyclist’s position on the road, right-of-way rules) and then move on to tips for defensive cycling. Participants will discover how to avoid major risks and gain insights into their bicycle, cycling behavior, and risk perception. **Date and time:** June 9 - 18:30-20:30 **Location:** International House Leuven - Tiensevest 60 After this session you will have the chance to purchase the theory information packet from the biking school, this includes the link to the videos explaining the traffic rules. Participants can pay a symbolic contribution of €10 (via QR code), which is directly invested in teaching people in vulnerable situations how to ride a bike. **IMPORTANT:** In order to reserve your spot for this event, you need to get your ticket on Eventbrite via the link below. The cost of the event is 10€ + service fees, equaling 11,68€/person. The first session on June 9 will be theoretical, followed by a practical session on June 23. You need a separate ticket for each session. Only with an Eventbrite ticket can you join this session. https://www.eventbrite.be/e/biking-workshops-tickets-1988554242269?aff=oddtdtcreator

We do cycles of 4-6 weeks, with a progressive load, and a recovery week at the end of the cycle. Session: * 10 - 20’ warm up (easy run and drills) * Core session (ie. 6x5' - 2' recovery) * Cool down We run together during Warm-up, and cool down and tey to regroup during recovery time. Paces are not imposed (everyone runs at his/her own pace) given the intensity suggested. Notes: It's NOT required to have an activity tracker or smart watch to be able to follow the session, as I'll be giving signals with a whistle. Intervals training is not advised for total beginners. To have an idea, the average pace at the warm up is around 5'45"/km-6'15"/km so this pace should feel very comfortable ***Acknowledgement of member responsibility and release of liability.*** By signing up for this event, you agree to release the organizers from any responsibility and liability in all claims.
