Our comics will ensure that you temporarily forget about the dreary winter skies of Brussels. Your Seasonal Affective Disorder will be on hiatus, and you'll get the hope and joy and joy you need to bring you all the way to next spring.

**[La Source](https://lasourcebeer.be "https://lasourcebeer.be")** is a Brussels-based artisanal & creative microbrewery active since October 2019. IPAs, sour & wild beers, seasonals, barrel aged or classic styles revisited make the variety of their production.
The venue is a brewpub with snacks and pizza, so show up early and eat directly there! Here’s the [menu](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0403/3573/6985/files/menu-A5-food_V2.pdf?v=1749648978 "https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0403/3573/6985/files/menu-A5-food_V2.pdf?v=1749648978").

WHY attending this event? Your presence is the key to transforming this event into an unforgettable experience of celebration and inspiration! 🎉
Save the date, clear your calendar, and let's make history for the evening in the amazing pub [Kamea Bar, Cocktail & Lounge](https://share.google/gQ3Wu4jgYOVjh7156)🥂: 📍[Rue Franklin 3/5, 1000 Bruxelles](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x47c3c53349cb9e7f:0x4a83e7307da9442d?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111)📍
Intervals Workout Session 🏃🏻♂️🏃🏼♀️🏃🏻 Bois de la Cambre
We do cycles of 4-6 weeks, with a progressive intensity, and the last session is lighter.
Program:
15’ warm up
**To be defined**
Cool down to get back to the starting point… or more
S=All out sprint
RF = Run fast, at MAS (Maximum aerobic speed)
CF = Run comfortably fast (1h threshold)
J = Jog, recuperation
Notes:
It should take about one hour in total, as the cool down will end when we reach back to the meeting point.
It's NOT required to have an activity tracker or smart watch to be able to follow the program, as I'll be giving signals with a whistle.
For the "run" part, you can follow your own pace and we'll be regrouping in the "jog" part.
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'/km so this pace should feel very comfortable

Gong Yoga Nidra (FR)
Achetez vos billets [ici](https://www.billetweb.fr/gong-yoga-nidra-fr)
**🌀 Gong Yoga Nidra : Relaxation Profonde & Méditation Sonore**
🗓 Jeudi 23 janvier · 19h30 – 21h00
📍 Yoga Studio Brussels
📣 **Séance en français**
Une soirée pour relâcher, se déposer, se reconnecter.
**Gong Yoga Nidra**, c’est la rencontre de deux pratiques puissantes :
le **Yoga Nidra**, aussi appelé "sommeil yogique", et les **vibrations thérapeutiques des gongs**.
**Qu’est-ce que le Yoga Nidra ?**
C’est une **méditation guidée allongée** qui vous amène dans un état de conscience entre veille et sommeil. Le corps se détend profondément, le mental ralentit, et l’attention reste présente — un espace unique pour la régénération, la clarté et l’accueil de l’inconscient.
Pendant la séance, vous êtes guidé·e à travers la respiration, un scan corporel, des visualisations, et soutenu·e par les **vibrations profondes et résonantes des gongs** qui renforcent l’effet de lâcher-prise.
**L’importance du Sankalpa (intention)**
Au cœur du Yoga Nidra se trouve le **Sankalpa** : une intention claire, simple, tournée vers votre vérité profonde. C’est une phrase courte, affirmée intérieurement au début et à la fin de la pratique.
Elle agit comme une graine plantée dans un sol fertile — dans cet état de conscience élargie, elle a le pouvoir de guider transformation, guérison, et réalignement.
✨ Ce que vous vivez pendant la séance :
• Allongé·e confortablement, guidé·e par la voix
• Respiration, scan corporel, visualisations
• Vibrations thérapeutiques des gongs, joués en douceur
• Un espace pour poser une intention, se déposer, se reconnecter à soi
**Bienfaits**
• Apaisement du système nerveux
• Libération du stress, des tensions physiques et mentales
• Amélioration du sommeil, de la clarté et de l’équilibre émotionnel
• Intégration et transformation en douceur
💶 Tarif :
• 35 € (une personne)
• 32 € par personne si vous venez à deux ou plus
⚠️ Places limitées — réservation conseillée
📩 Réservation & infos : [bookings@nirmalkaram.com](mailto:bookings@nirmalkaram.com)
Une pratique douce, profonde, et puissamment régénératrice — pour vous reconnecter à votre intention, à votre corps, et à l’essentiel.

*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.*
**THANK YOU AND SEE YOU ALL ON Saturday!**
[LOCATION: THE SISTER CAFE] Philosophy Meetup: 17:00-18:30
Welcome to our weekly event in the upstairs room of The Sister Café, rue Chair et Pain 3, one block from the Grand Place. Please get there early enough to order your drink at the bar first. Thank you!
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.
Past questions have been wide and not confined to academic philosophy:
What is a genuine friend?
Is social media turning us into emotional zombies?
Do we lose some of the experience of things by defining them?
Are we driven by sex?
Is loneliness a personal failure?
Is morality relative?
**Crucially, be kind and respectful and generous** in your disagreements; remember how much you personally enjoy someone else proving you wrong before celebrating your cutting counterexamples.

Azure CBUS January: Learn Infrastructure-as-Code Through Minecraft
## Learn Infrastructure-as-Code (the FUN Way) — Through Minecraft 🎮☁️
**Joint Meetup: Azure CBUS × Columbus HashiCorp User Group × DevOps Columbus**
What if learning Terraform and Infrastructure-as-Code didn’t feel like a whitepaper… but more like a game?
Join us for a joint Azure CBUS, Columbus HashiCorp User Group, and DevOps Columbus meetup where **Mark Tinderholt** \(Principal Architect\, Microsoft Azure \| HashiCorp Ambassador \| “The Azure Terraformer”\) shows how **Minecraft** can be used as a surprisingly powerful way to understand real-world Infrastructure-as-Code concepts.
In this session, Mark will demonstrate how Terraform and Azure can be used to provision, configure, and manage Minecraft servers—while teaching the same patterns you’d use for production cloud infrastructure.
### What we’ll cover
* Infrastructure-as-Code fundamentals using **Terraform**
* Provisioning real infrastructure on **Azure**
* Applying **IaC best practices** (immutability, repeatability, versioning)
* How playful environments like Minecraft make complex concepts *click*
* Why learning through experimentation beats click-ops every time
### Who should attend
* Developers, platform engineers, and cloud engineers
* Terraform users (new or experienced)
* Anyone curious about Infrastructure-as-Code but tired of boring examples
* Minecraft fans who want to see it used in a totally unexpected way
No prior Minecraft experience required—just curiosity and a willingness to learn infrastructure the fun way.
Come for the blocks, stay for the Terraform. 🧱➡️📐

Azure CBUS February: Build Your Own MCP Server
### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers
The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way?
This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents.
Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to:
Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture.
Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases.
Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI.
Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem.
Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.

Agent-Powered Development with Google Antigravity
Modern software development is rapidly shifting from tool-driven workflows to agent-powered systems that can reason, act, and collaborate alongside developers. This talk introduces Google Antigravity, an emerging agent-first development platform from Google Cloud, designed to move beyond code assistance toward autonomous, skill-based AI agents.
In this session, we explore how Antigravity enables developers to create and extend custom agent skills that perform real actions—such as executing workflows, integrating external services, and automating complex development tasks. Attendees will gain a practical understanding of Antigravity’s architecture, the role of skills in agent orchestration, and how agent-powered development changes the way software is designed, built, and maintained.
This is a hybrid event. Join the event virtually at https://gdg.community.dev/events/details/google-gdg-chicago-presents-agent-powered-development-with-google-antigravity/
