Cross Country Cycling

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 ***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.

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.

## **Standing With the women of Iran** 📅 **Friday, January 24 · 2:00 PM** 📍 **In front of the European Parliament**, Brussels 🕊️ *Public demonstration — we join as participants, not organizers* *** ### **About the Event** On January 24, a public demonstration will take place in front of the European Parliament in support of the **people of Iran in their ongoing fight for freedom** — with particular attention to the **courage and suffering of Iranian women**. **Beyond Borders & Cultures** will join this demonstration as a group of attendees to stand in solidarity. This initiative is hosted by **Alis**, a young Thai woman living in Brussels, who believes that freedom and dignity must be defended consistently — not selectively. *** ### **Why This Matters** European women have long been at the forefront of promoting feminism, equality, and women’s rights. Yet today, many of those same voices remain surprisingly quiet about **Iranian women**, who face imprisonment, violence, and death for refusing submission. This gathering is not about ideology or labels. It is about **listening, witnessing, and showing support** to women who are risking everything for basic freedoms many take for granted. Supporting Iranian women means recognizing that: – Freedom is not universal – Feminism without courage is hollow – Silence is also a choice *** ### **Our Position** We join to support: – The people of Iran – Women resisting oppression – Freedom of conscience, speech, and life We do **not** organize the demonstration. We do **not** represent the official organizers. We simply show up — together — to stand on the side of human dignity. *** ### **How It Will Work** – Meet near the European Parliament at **2:00 PM** – Join the demonstration peacefully as participants – No banners or speeches required – Stay as long as you feel comfortable Those who wish may go for a coffee afterward to talk and connect informally. *** ### **Who Can Join** Women and men of all backgrounds who believe that: – Women’s lives matter everywhere – Freedom should not depend on geography – Solidarity should cross borders *** Sometimes the most honest act is to stand where silence has become too comfortable. Beyond borders. Beyond hypocrisy. With the people of Iran.
