🎬 The Club – Summer Movie Festival (Private Garden)
Small curated movie nights in a hidden garden in Ixelles, next to Place Flagey.
A mix of:
* **cult classics**
* **recent movies**
* **international cinema**
* **comedy nights**
* **karaoke & dubbing chaos nights**
* **comfort food and summer vibes**
**This is not a giant public Meetup** where 40 strangers stand awkwardly around overpriced drinks pretending networking is fun. Humanity already suffered enough.
Our idea is simple:
we gather in a private home and transform the courtyard into a small outdoor cinema.
Sometimes we cook together before the movie:
Italian, Thai, Lebanese, Japanese, Balkan, Greek, Latin American street food etc.
Sometimes people simply grab pizza from the excellent pizzeria next door and join the screening.
Food is intentionally relaxed:
bowls, finger food, street food, popcorn, snacks, comfort food.
**Some nights are more gourmet.**
Some are glorified pizza-and-movie nights.
Both are valid forms of civilization **;-)**
## **What makes this different**
The group is i**ntentionally small**:
usually 6 to 8 people maximum.
**People are introduced properly.**
Nobody gets abandoned in a corner.
The atmosphere stays human, social and safe.
**No heavy drinking.**
**No creepy behavior.**
No random people showing up uninvited.
Smoking is allowed because is outside in the courtyard and occasionally we may have **hookah nights** depending on the movie/theme.
## **Typical evenings**
* Wong Kar-wai + Asian comfort food
* Spaghetti western + Italian street food
* Anime + sushi night
* Greek cinema + mezze
* Balkan chaos cinema + burek
* Cult movie dubbing nights where people voice scenes live karaoke-style
Yes, this is a real thing now apparently.
## **Important**
Because Meetups and public internet are full of bots, spam accounts and socially radioactive individuals, **we do NOT post the exact address publicly.**
To join:
scan the QR code on the image and request access to the private WhatsApp group or send me a DM.
From there:
* we announce movies
* vote on menus
* organize cooking nights
* coordinate places
**If you are new in Brussels, introverted, traveling, recently arrived, or simply tired of giant impersonal events, this may be your thing.**

Discover the art of Japanese rope
*Rope has long held a significant place in Japanese culture, embodying symbolic, ritualistic, and utilitarian meanings throughout history. In modern times, it has evolved into a medium for visual and performance art, spanning photography, film, and live expression. Beyond the physical act of tying, rope can represent a profound emotional exchange between two people—using rope as the medium for connection.*
**Curious?**
Join our beginner-friendly ZERO course, where you'll explore the beauty of Japanese rope techniques in a safe, respectful, and creative space. No experience needed.
✨ Learn the fundamentals
✨ Hands-on, guided instruction
✨ Focus on trust, connection, and togetherness
In addition to an introductory talk on the history and philosophy of Japanese rope art, you’ll engage in hands-on exercises designed to help you build a fluent and solid connection. We'll explore concepts of intention, emotional safety and communication precision, along with practical safety guidelines to ensure a positive and safe experience. By the end of the course, you will have gained the foundational knowledge, needed to develop an interaction with the means of rope.
**Who is this for?**
The course is designed for couples—romantic or platonic—who want to learn together. Solo participants are also welcome. Our studio is supported by wonderful volunteers who are happy to assist during the course. If you’re attending solo, please contact us before booking to confirm availability.
In any case, EVERYONE is welcome – come as you are!
十人十色 literally means “ten people, ten colours”
\~ Ten different people bring ten different colors
**Language**
The course is given in Dutch if all attendees feel comfortable. In all other cases, the course is given in English. One-on-one corrections can also be given in French or German.

Ropes are available to use during the course. Suitable rope can also be purchased at the studio.

Welcome to The Club.
**Welcome to The Club.**
A **curated** social community in Brussels for people who want real connections, memorable experiences, and **better energy than the usual random meetup chaos**.
Most of our events happen in **private homes**, gardens, hidden places around Brussels, or unusual locations outside the city. The goal is simple: create the kind of atmosphere where people actually talk, laugh, connect, and want to come back.
We organize things like:
• gourmet lunches & dinners
• picnics & roadtrips
• cooking nights
• walks around Brussels
• karaoke & movie nights
• debates & discussions
• card and social games
• occasional “chaperoned” social evenings where people can meet naturally in a safe environment
The difference is that we personally curate and vet new members.
The host actively introduces newcomers, helps people integrate into the group, and keeps the atmosphere respectful and relaxed. We have zero tolerance for creepy behavior, unwanted pressure, spam, random uninvited people, or drama.
*Unfortunately, posting too many details publicly on Meetup or on the internet in general quickly attracts bots, scammers, fake profiles, crypto weirdos, and people who completely ruin the vibe for everyone else.*
That’s why most of our real coordination happens privately through our ***vetted WhatsApp community***.
To join, simply scan the QR code in the image.
If you are on your phone and cannot scan it directly:
• take a screenshot of the image
• open the screenshot in your photo gallery
• most phones can automatically detect QR codes from photos by long pressing or using Google Lens / iPhone scan feature
Then request access to the group and introduce yourself briefly.
See you soon

**A MESSAGE FOR NEWCOMERS:**
*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!**

About the moderator
Edit, founder of Tulipane Design.
‘Raised in the Hungarian countryside, I learned sewing, crochet and traditional bead weaving. Jewellery being my main interest, I especially liked bead weaving. This passion has always been with me.
Since I have been living in Belgium, the African style fascinates me as much as the Hungarian folk style.
With my work, which manifests itself under the brand name Tulipane Design, I would like to offer a delicate mixture of Eastern Europe and Africa.
The designs are created and woven bead by bead. It is a work of patience and a kind of meditation: the beads take time to be woven.
Through my childhood trauma with an abusive father, I realised that creating is a crucial activity to find my balance and well-being and I think I am not alone with this. That's why my goal is not only to share my creations with other women but also to contribute to a social impact. Tulipane Design contributes with 1€/jewel sold to the Domestic Violence Centre in Belgium.’

Valkenburg Roman Escape: Hike, Catacombs & Community Day Trip 🇳🇱
Walk Through Roman History, Hidden Catacombs & the Hills of Limburg
Escape Brussels for a full-day community adventure to the charming medieval town of Valkenburg — where Roman history, scenic landscapes, underground tunnels, and meaningful social connection come together.
Together, we’ll explore one of the Netherlands’ oldest tourist towns through a unique 9.5 km immersive walking experience inspired by the ancient Via Belgica, the Roman road connecting the French coast to the German Rhineland.
Along the way, we’ll discover the story of Magistrate Titus Tertinius Cornutus, walk through Valkenburg’s historic streets and green hills, enjoy a relaxed group lunch, and visit the fascinating Roman Catacombs hidden beneath the town.
Whether you’re joining solo or with friends, this experience is designed for people who enjoy culture, nature, slow travel, and meeting open-minded international people.
People increasingly seek experiences that create belonging, shared memories, and real-world connection — especially around outdoor and social activities.

Valkenburg is unlike anywhere else in the Netherlands.
Built around marlstone hills and crossed by the Geul River, the town combines Roman heritage, underground passageways, medieval architecture, and a relaxed countryside atmosphere.
During this immersive experience, we’ll follow a special Roman-themed audio route inspired by real archaeological discoveries found in the region, including Roman villas, watchtowers, and artefacts connected to the Via Belgica.
The walk combines storytelling, nature, culture, and social connection — the kind of intentional travel experiences people increasingly value today.
We’ll also descend into the mysterious Roman Catacombs, a fascinating underground reconstruction inspired by ancient Roman burial chambers and early Christian catacombs.
