What's up Friends! 👋 
Ready for some bouldering fun? Boulder-what? 🤔 It’s climbing (FR: escalade, le bloc) up to 4.5m high without ropes—and in my case, without much hope! 😂✨ It’s a super fun indoor activity, but be warned: it does require a certain level of physical fitness and/or skill. Most importantly, though, it requires awesome company—which we’ve got! 😎
 The Idea: 📍 Meeting Point: For those arriving at 17:00, we’ll meet at the cafeteria (next to the billiards table). Feel free to start earlier or later—just drop me a message or write in the group chat so we can meet up. 💪 Stay & climb as long as you want - venue closes at midnight! 🥤 Recharge: If you’ve had enough climbing for the day (we usually do this after 2 hours of climbing), we may head back to the cafeteria (or to the rooftop if it's sunny🌤️) for snacks, drinks & games. Cafeteria closes at 22:00. Where: 📍Arkose: (Brussels Canal) Rue Willy de Bruyn Straat 52, 1000 Bruxelles, Belgique 🔗 https://arkose.com/

 Good to Know: ✍️ First-timers need to create an account (takes 5min) - do it in advance and pay online to pay less and avoid wasting time onsite 💦 Hydration is key! Bring a water bottle. 🔐 Lockers available, but bring your own padlock. 🚿 Changing rooms & showers on-site. 👕 Wear comfy sports clothes—it gets intense! 🧴 Only liquid magnesium is allowed (for grip) - in reality most people use powder🤫 👟 Thinking of going regularly? Bouldering shoes are a great investment! (Decathlon: ~45-65€ per pair.)

⚠️ Safety First! Bouldering is fun, but safety comes first! Stay alert, know your limits, and don’t take unnecessary risks. Enjoy responsibly! 💪

The moon will be close to full. Weather forecast is good, sky should be clear, sunset at 18:22, moonrise at 14:33. We start walking at 19:00, till 22:00, about 12 km. **Getting there:** This hike is a loop. Start is easy to reach by tram 44. There is as well a parking if you come by car. For information, you can find the track here : https://www.komoot.com/tour/1478925933?share_token=agkQs0GGghs3iE5CEnvE0aV7QjcK8qRYwCkjnbV1omSj2sQ1Yo&ref=wtd **Meeting point** is Saturday 28/2 at 19:00. We start walking at 19:15. Be sure to eat before the hike or to bring some food that you can eat during the hike. Please pack at least 1.0 L of water, along with some snacks to keep our energy up, and wear good walking shoes. We will walk on unpaved and paved roads through parc, woods and countryside. We will walk at a medium pace, 5 km/h on average while walking. Please bring water and some snacks. The purpose is to enjoy full moon light as much as possible and the sky should be mostly clear. Neverthless you must foresee **a lamp** as some part may be dark due to trees/leaves/clouds and moonlight can be insufficient in the middle of the forest. For your convenience and safety, ensure your GSM battery is fully charged. It’s also a good idea to bring an extra fully charged battery pack with you, just in case. Notice : by local rules, in Sonian Forest and in the parc, dogs should be kept on a leash. **Weather** Check the weather forecast upfront and dress accordingly. The weather forecast seems ok : no rain and no (or very little 🤞) clouds Temperature will drop **from 10°C (and sunny) to 7°C (and no sun!).** Please dress accordingly, layering up to stay warm yet comfortable throughout the hike. www.meteo.be - www.buienradar.be \- Sunset at 18:22 \- Moonrise at 14:33 Consider that it is really dark one hour after sunset so around 19:20 **WhatsApp "share live location"** When participating in our hikes, you should understand how to use the WhatsApp function "share live location".

**Level:** All levels, open to beginners Contact Improvisation (CI) is an open, welcoming movement practice where we come together to explore how our bodies communicate through touch, shared weight, and physical awareness. It began in the United States in 1972, developed by dancer and choreographer Steve Paxton, and draws inspiration from modern dance, aikido, and somatic practices. At its core, CI is about listening — to gravity, momentum, and each other. We follow what happens in real time: leaning, lifting, rolling, falling, and finding balance together. There’s structure, but no fixed choreography. It’s playful, physical, and deeply responsive. You don’t need to be a professional dancer to take part. CI welcomes experienced movers and complete beginners alike. If you’re curious, willing to stay present, and open to exploration, you’re in the right place. Programme: **Workshop 1:** Exploring contact (by Patryk Kłos) How to communicate & listen through touch? We will explore the physical contact as a communication tool and through simple tasks develop an understanding of its possibilities and limitations. **Workshop 2:** Three’s company: you, me, and the music (by Agnieszka Pietruczuk) In this workshop, we treat music as a third dance partner that supports, inspires, and gently challenges our movement. We’ll explore easy, playful ways to listen to music together and let it enrich both the dance and the connection with our partner. The focus is on curiosity and enjoyment, using music to spark more creative, alive, and connected dances. **BIG Jam (60 min)** More info and registration: https://fusion-circus.com/events/contact-improv-feb26/

On Sunday I am proposing a hike close to Brussels. We will start in the tiny village Villers-La-Ville, which is known for its impressive ruins of a former abbey. Subsequently, we will walk through a forest and agricultural areas. This region also has wine producers, so we might also encounter some vineyards on the way. At our destination Ottignies we will probably find an open bar for a drink. As the number of participants is limited, it is important that you manage your registration responsibly: only sign up if you really intend to come and cancel as soon as you know you can’t (this also goes for people on the waiting list!). We will try to keep close to an average speed of about 5 km/h. We will walk mainly on unpaved roads. I’ve not tested this track beforehand, so it’s possible that there are some mistakes in the planning. ●●You can find the track here: https://loc.wiki/t/252023497?wa=sc ●●Meeting point: We meet at 10h40 in Villers-La-Ville (in front of the railway station). If you start from Brussels-Central, you should take train IC 2109 towards Marbehan at 9h37. In Ottignies you have eight minutes to change to train S61 4560 direction Jambes at 10h23. You should get out in Villers-La-Ville. In Brussels, you can find me in the first car of the train. ●● Train tickets: Return ticket Brussels-Villers should be fine. ●● Back to Brussels: In Ottignies there is at least one direct train per hour back to Brussels. ●● Specifics: Distance: ca 25km Elevation gain: 300m Net walking time: ca 5-6h Weather forecast: Probably dry. In the unlikely case of too bad weather, we may cancel a hike, even few hours before the event. If this must happen, we will of course update the Meetup website and send out an email to those registered. So it is important to have access to either the [[[[[[Meetup.com](http://meetup.com/)]([http://meetup.com/](http://meetup.com/))]([http://meetup.com/](http://meetup.com/))]([http://meetup.com/](http://meetup.com/))]([http://meetup.com/](http://meetup.com/))]([http://meetup.com/](http://meetup.com/)) website and/or your emails. ●● What to bring: * Comfortable hiking clothes &shoes * rain gear (just in case) * water + food for the breaks * sun cream * Compeed for blisters * some small money for drinks ●● Basic rules: Please RSVP only if you really intend to come. And if your plans change, update your RSVP asap, even hours before the walk. This is basic courtesy towards others. Repeated late cancellations are not well considered (at all). No-shows are even worse. Do not show up for a hike unless you are on the “going” list. ●● Acknowledgement of member responsibility and release of liability: You are responsible for yourself and should be fit enough if you want to take part. As the participation in the events 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. By signing up for this event, you agree to release the organisers from any responsibility and liability. Moreover, the organisers aren't tour operators, so they don't feel obliged to answer to every text message or email!

# **About Event** ​As winter begins to lift, a new energy is stirring. On **March 1st**, we gather at the Shanti Dôme to honor this transition—moving from the quiet of the inner world back toward the warmth of human connection. ​This gathering is a living room for the soul. We’ve designed a flow that moves in waves, guiding us from our inner world into the heart of the community: * ​**The Ritual of Opening:** We begin by grounding ourselves in the beauty of the Dôme. With a cup of ceremonial cacao as our companion, we’ll quiet the outside noise and listen to what is ready to grow within us this season. * ​**The Shared Resonance:** From silence, we move into a collective vibration. Guided by our **Architect of Sound**, we will weave a living chorus together. You will receive your own unique thread of sound—a personalized "sonic instruction"—that contributes to a larger, powerful harmony. * ​**The Art of Being Seen:** This is our core practice for the afternoon—a fluid dance between presence and curiosity. Within the room, you will navigate a landscape of **Anchors** and **Travelers**. It is an intuitive journey of following your attraction, crossing paths with others, and discovering the stories waiting beneath the surface. * ​**The Time to Shine:** Finally, the structure dissolves completely. The floor is yours to mingle, follow up on a spark of conversation, or simply enjoy the company of a community that values authenticity over small talk. ​Come as you are. Bring your curiosity. Let’s see what grows. \*\*\* ​**🕓 Journey Timeline** ​*Please note: We begin at 15:00 sharp to honor the collective flow.* * ​**14:45:** Arrival & Settling In * ​**15:00:** Intro & Landing * ​**15:15:** Cacao Serving * ​**15:45:** Shared Resonance * ​**16:15:** The Art of Being Seen * ​**16:45:** Time to Shine (Socializing) * ​**17:45:** Closing Circle * ​**18:00:** Departure \*\*\* ​**📍 Practical Details** * ​**Language:** 🇬🇧 English (Translation in **FR/ES/NL** available upon request). * ​**Location:** [Shanti Dôme - Yoga Center](https://maps.app.goo.gl/eP8qAVk7vVcnZ97t6) * ​**Website:** [omshana.com](https://omshana.com/) & [https://shantidome.be](https://shantidome.be/) ​**Energy Exchange:** * ​**Very Early Bird:** 15€ (Available until Feb 8) * ​**Early Bird:** 20€ (Available until Feb 22) * ​**Regular:** 25€ **Ticket here: [LUMA LINK](https://luma.com/3u3lwcrg?fbclid=IwY2xjawP-rvpleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETF2MEtoMkVvN25YTFFxZm1Jc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHiQDWRxB17grbYCxykzUujuT95IewNR1ObIMZr4JatEDfAim_GhkWKLKOz98_aem_rKD7kauCqkcKwQBAN9TCXw)** \*\*\* ​**💛 Stay Connected** ​Join our community to keep the connection alive beyond the gathering: * ​**WhatsApp:** [Join the Community](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IdDdk9G8damKjV787DwDbN) * ​**Facebook:** [Join the Group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/omshana)

Our journey is a "greatest hits" of Uccle’s nature reserves: * The rolling greens of **Parc de Wolvendael** * The wilder paths of **Keyenbempt & Kinsendael** * The sweeping views of the **Engeland Plateau** * The tranquil **Parc de la Sauvagère** We’ll loop back through the Bois de la Cambre to finish a beautiful **16km circuit** on a mix of pavement and soft park paths. ### 📋 The Essentials * **Distance:** \~16 km * **Pace:** Strictly **6:15 min/km**. This is a steady, social effort—perfect for building endurance without the burn. * **Meeting Point:** At the **2 white Pavilions** (Entrance to Bois de la Cambre). * **Bag Drop:** Available on-site—run light! * **Post-Run:** Join us for a post-run "rehydration" (coffee or something colder) at **Café de la Presse** to swap stories and weekend plans. ### 👟 Why join?

It’s the ultimate way to discover Brussels’ "green lungs". **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.
