Cycling & Cycle Touring

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. As the participation 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.

**Make 5 Big Steps For A Great 2026! - with Northern Deer** *** ***Have You Ever Done Something Like This?*** \#\#\#\# Have you ever felt the magic of starting anew\, leaving the past behind\, and stepping boldly into your future? **Have you ever done something truly magical to start your year?** Join me and the WOW Team for a transformative, empowering, and deeply spiritual evening to set the foundation for a remarkable 2026. As part of the **WOW (World of Wisdom & Spiritual Adventure)** tradition, we begin each new year with a **Shamanic Ritual** that celebrates, cleanses, and empowers. This isn’t just an event—it’s an initiation into the new year, where your intentions align with the Spirit of the Universe to manifest a brighter future. We are celebrating with a ceremony that contains these five parts * **Tea Ritual** * **The Magic Box of Intention** * **Shamanic Journey for the New Year to the four worlds** * **Personal Spirit Message for YOU** * **Tarot Predictions for the New Year!** We are waiting for you also this year to celebrate together and build the foundation of empowerment for our new Future!! **With Love!** Northern Deer Alexander *Founder of the WORLD OF WISDOM & SPIRITUAL ADVENTURE Community* *** ***COME TO OUR RITUAL!*** \#\#\#\# Our ritual consists of 5 parts * **The First Part -** The Tea Drinking Ritual - is an ancient way for people to connect with their Higher Self and connect with their most profound truths and intentions! By drinking Tea together, we will all put intention in the magical liquid itself, and we will share blessings and wishes for the highest possible destiny in life. * **The Second Part** \- The Magic Box of Intention is an actual box with a lot of energy initiated by Northern Deer Alexander in which you are going to place the intentions you have for the year and which you have thought about in the Tea Ceremonial Drinking\, written in a small piece of paper that we will give you in a small ritual to manifest them in your life\. This will also set your intention for the next ritual\, the third part\. * **The Third Part**. is the shamanic Journey in the 4 worlds with the intention to clean and finish with the past (year or whole life's issues) and start anew, creating a happy life from now on, from 2026! This is a powerful "active meditative journey" with the drum, where you will have the most profound internal change possible to create something new. You have to experience it to understand what it really means. For this ritual, you can bring your own yoga mat (if you wish to have your own) or use the ones we have in the spiritual center * **The Fourth Part -** Personal Spirit Message for YOU - Alexander has prepared several messages from the Universal Spirit in meditation, and you will be called to pick one by your own luck (or destiny) to empower yourself and focus the energy of your destination in life. * **The Fifth part** is the Tarot Ritual, in which you will pick a card signifying some aspect, the most important for you at the moment, that you will have to work through in the upcoming year. There will be a small personal prediction by Northern Deer Alexander to every participant. **We are waiting for you with love to experience this magic of transformation and unique experience of your life!** *Have a happy vacation & happy moments in this period of Christmas & New Year's Eve!* *** **🌟Why You Can’t Miss This** \#\#\#\# This experience isn’t just about celebrating the new year \- It’s about creating the life you want. Many participants have found clarity, empowerment, and transformation through these rituals. By releasing the past and embracing the future, you’ll step into 2026 ready to manifest your dreams. **Imagine stepping into 2026 with:** ✔️ Clarity of purpose ✔️ A heart unburdened by the past ✔️ The magic of intention on your side Many participants have said these rituals are life-changing, giving them the courage and energy to face the year ahead with strength and inspiration. **You deserve to feel this empowered. You deserve this magic.** **We’re excited to share this magical evening with you and build a powerful foundation for the year ahead.** *** YES I WANT TO PARTICIPATE - **[CLICK HERE TO REGISTER](https://www.tickettailor.com/events/wowalexander/1966507)** *** SHAMANIC RITUAL FOR THE NEW YEAR!! 💰 **Participation Fee:** * **Early Bird** (Until Friday, Jan 12)**: €69** * **Regular Price: €85** 🎟️ **How to Register:** **[CLICK HERE TO REGISTER](https://www.tickettailor.com/events/wowalexander/1966507)** 📧 **Contact for Info:** * **Pablo (Teiwaz) Leon - Tel: +34 661 953 617** * **Eirini-Sunbird - Tel: +32 487 201 473** **When?** Sunday, Jan 25, 2026, 05:00 PM **Where?** Espace Tarab, Chaussée de Roodebeek 96, 1200 Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, Brussels, Belgium

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center.
