What's up Friends! 👋 Let’s catch up over a cup of ☕️ (or whatever drink 🍵 or bite 🍪🍰🥐 inspires you in the moment). Where: Leopold PDN. This café may be a bit of a challenge to find on rainy days 🌧️☔️, but that's how adventures begin, right? 😂 Well, don't wait until you get hopelessly lost - text me here before you start cursing google maps 🗺️. The idea: Join the table once you've grabbed your order - mandatory! We'll kick-off with a light intro and move over to topics like activities, travel, music... At some point, if we are feeling it, we may also play some games. We will speak mostly English and French. Any other language is a bonus: 🌍🎭💃🎶🎷🤹🏻🤖 🎲 Games: No giant boards that end up in coffee spills please. Only light, short and fun games (generally card games like uno or exploding kittens💥🐱 will fit). I will bring a game or two myself, however feel free to bring along any of your own favorites. ⏱Timing: We start at 15:00, and you’re welcome to join at any time and for as long as you want. Joining later? Just let me know in advance in the chat so we keep a seat available for you 😊 🚦If you find yourself on the waiting list but you absolutely want to join or if you have any other question - feel free to contact me directly via the chat. 📢 Further details may be shared via the group chat or via DM 💬. Make sure to check your messages 👀 at least on the day before the event to avoid missing critical 🙄 announcements. 🐈‍⬛ The Friends Code:
👉No formalities - just chill 😎
👉Respect and positive vibes, if not 💥🥊 👉Can’t make it? Cancel so someone on the waitlist can grab your spot 🙏 👉 Don't show up if you are on the waiting list. See you folks! 😉

Dear folks, Let’s start the new year with some art vibes. After the exhibition, we can go to a café (Tich) and talk about it. 😊 Please buy your ticket here before you sign up (**Entry time 15h**): https://www.bozar.be/en/calendar/luz-y-sombra-goya-and-spanish-realism About Exhibition: ​​​​​​​This unique exhibition brings the groundbreaking oeuvre of Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (1746−1828) into dialogue with work by contemporaries and artists from later generations. With his fierce, gripping depictions of injustice, abuses and horrors of his time, Goya was the pivot in the development of a modernity firmly anchored in the Spanish realist tradition. We will meet up at the entrance of the museum at **14h50.** See you soon. Cheers! Yifei

Hello! This is a meet-up to play tennis from 2 pm to 4 pm on Sunday. Meeting is on the courts. The courts are booked under the name Jean-Marc. This event is for intermediate and advanced players and not organised for novice players or beginners. Please make sure to bring the exact sum of 10 € in cash. The event is non-commercial. This sum covers the cost of the courts reserved. The organizer is not there to make money out of you. Ladies are encouraged to join. If anyone wants to drop out, they should do it on Saturday morning, not on Sunday the day of the meetup, another wise it would be too late to find a replacement in time or to cancel a court in time with reimbursement. If you don't do this, you will be asked by the organizer to reimburse your participation fee. If this happens too late then those who have cancelled after Saturday morning will have to cover the extra cost for reserving the courts. In the past meetups, it happened too many times that we were an oneven number and because of that all those present had less fun to play. If you don't show up without giving a written excuse in time, the first future participation will be cancelled and you will be asked to reimburse the participation fee. If it happens too many times you will not be able to participate anymore. In case if we are an uneven number of players, then the last player (except the host of course who has to collect the money) can leave or persuade other players to play with him or her. Of course if the last player leaves, then he or she doesn't have to pay the participation fee. If this player leaves, he or she will be added on a future event by the host or organizer in the participation list if the player is far away in the waiting list. This is the advantage of leaving on a voluntary basis;-). We operate on the principle of Fair Play as we do not have umpires or referees. Any disputes or disagreements over line calls or scores should be resolved immediately on the court and, when agreement is not possible, the point or game should be replayed. To be able to replay the game, 3 players need to agree on that without manipulation of the one who disputes an entire game, anotherwise injustice could occur where in the end possibly the biggest cheater could win... This situation applies also, if the host or the organizer is involved. When one of the players still doesn't accept this compromise, then it should be reported (meetup message by preference) to the organizer or host of the meetup event. One of the consequences could be that the first upcoming event could be cancelled by the organizer for the player who doesn't comply with the compromise to play the point or the game again. If the same player does that again for a second time, then the person will see 4 of his next tennis meetups cancelled. If this happens a third time with the same player, then the player in question will be banned from all future tennis meetups with an exclusion as a final result. Whenever there is a big problem, it should be reported as well to the organizer of the group so he can, if necessary, take actions to improve the situation for all the players. Please also note that if you are the first on the waiting list, you will automatically be moved up to the attendance list if someone pulls out. So if you are on the waiting list and see that you cannot attend, please also change your status to not going. If you would like to organize a meet up either this week or next week please get in touch with me, my name is Jean-Marc. It will depend on your initiatives to create more tennis meetups per week.

Or from Trammuseum to Africa museum. Or from Woluwe park to Tervuren park. Are you aware of all the ponds and lakes east of Brussels? How would they look like when frozen? Let's do 16 km to find out.😊 The moderate speed (4+ km/hour) hike takes us from the Woluwe park, through fancy neighborhood and Rouge Cloitre through the big forest where multiple ponds and streams are to be discovered in their semi-/frozen state. Before we end up in the nice cafetaria of the Africuseum, with maybe a mug of warm chocolat, we will wander through the forest to have a view of the lakes of the Tervuren park. Please add layers of clothing to handle -5°C as well as 0°C. Bring your thermosflask with warm liquid and some snack. The cafetaria is close to the tram44 end/start location. https://sttimetabmainsiteprdwe1.blob.core.windows.net/horaires/44/Horaires/20260105/NL_HL_44_20260105_Col.pdf For people out of town, you can park your car at Brasserie des Étangs Mellaerts.

This session is intentionally **restful rather than stimulating**. Through sound, silence, and vibration, the body is invited to shift from mental activity into deeper listening, breath, and sensation. 🔔 **The sound journey unfolds through planetary qualities:** ☀️ Sun – clarity, vitality, inner orientation 🌙 Moon – rest, receptivity, emotional regulation 💗 Venus – harmony, softness, self-care 🌀 Mercury – mental digestion, integration, calming the mind 🌍 Earth – grounding, stability, embodiment (including Schumann resonance) Rather than pushing or releasing, this gong bath supports **integration and recalibration**, allowing the nervous system to rest and reorganize. 💶 **Price** • 35 € (one person) • 32 € per person when coming two or more ⚠️ **Early booking recommended** — places are limited and sessions tend to fill up. 📩 **Bookings & info:** bookings@nirmalkaram.com ✨ A space to rest, integrate, and realign. *** 🌿 **Restful Reset – Bain de gong=** 🗓 **Dimanche 11 janvier · 16h00** 📍 **Yoga Studio Brussels** Après l’intensité du début de l’année, ce bain de gongs est proposé comme une pause profonde — un temps pour ralentir, apaiser le système nerveux et revenir doucement à l’équilibre. La séance est pensée comme un espace de repos, plutôt que comme une expérience stimulante. À travers le son, le silence et la vibration, le corps est invité à quitter l’activité mentale pour entrer dans une écoute plus fine de la respiration et des sensations. 🔔 **Le voyage sonore s’articule autour de qualités planétaires :** ☀️ Soleil – clarté, vitalité, orientation intérieure 🌙 Lune – repos, réceptivité, régulation émotionnelle 💗 Vénus – harmonie, douceur, soin de soi 🌀 Mercure – digestion mentale, intégration, apaisement du mental 🌍 Terre – ancrage, stabilité, incarnation (incluant la résonance de Schumann) Plutôt que de provoquer une catharsis, ce bain de gongs soutient une recalibration douce, permettant au système nerveux de se déposer et de s’organiser. 💶 **Tarif** • 35 € (une personne) • 32 € par personne à partir de deux personnes ⚠️ **Réservation anticipée recommandée** — nombre de places limité. 📩 **Réservations & infos :** bookings@nirmalkaram.com ✨ Un espace pour se déposer, intégrer et s’aligner.

This is an open Circle for anyone and open to constellate on any subject. It's a good way to get started if you've been wanting to see what Constellations is all about. We will start with some bodywork exercises and then there will be time for three Constellations on any topic. ​A Constellation is a means for accessing the timeless map you hold within, linking the past to the present and the present to the future. It's a tool to find the origin of the problems we face today such as repeated patterns, blockages, relationship difficulties or health concerns, to name a few, and has the power to reveal hidden dynamics not visible to the normal eye. Then a healing exchange takes place and steps are taken to free you from the past and put you on a road to freedom, understanding and authenticity for your future. ​There are two ways to participate, either as a participant or Space Holder in the Circle or to bring a topic to constellate as an Issue Holder, which is limited to three places. Although one person will bring a subject to constellate, everyone participates. A Constellation is a Healing Circle for all who attend. ​ Price for Space Holders: 45 Euros (12 spots) Price for Issue Holders: 145 Euros (3 spots) ​Date: Sunday, January 11th ​Time: 3:00 to 7:00 pm Location: Shanti Home: Rue Darwin 8, Brussels 1190 (Forest) ​\*There are three spots available for Constellations. Contact me if you'd like to reserve one of these spots. \*Spots are limited for both roles to ensure enough space in the room, although the room is very spacious. *Modified price for students or if you are unemployed. Write me if this is your case.​*Payment must be made beforehand. You can register either to the following account or pay by credit card or PayPal by following the link to the website.

[beerhome - Sweynbeer](https://sweyn.beer/) We plan to start on time, so if you are late , please follow the map to catch us up. We will meet in front of the Sint-Hubertuskerk. Tervuursesteenweg 774 is opposite. There is parking nearby. By joining this event, you decline any responsibility to Waterloo Walkers. Thank you for your understanding. See you on Sunday. Rory.

This meetup is a collaborative Unity workshop focused on real projects and shared problem-solving. Instead of talks or presentations, attendees bring a Unity project they’re actively working on and collaborate through discussion, troubleshooting, and hands-on exploration. The format is flexible and community-driven. You might debug a tricky issue, improve your workflow, explore performance optimizations, or get feedback on architecture, tools, and implementation approaches. Learning happens by doing, asking questions, and helping each other. **What to Expect:** * Bring-your-own Unity project (any level) * Group discussion and peer feedback * Debugging, optimization, and workflow problem-solving * Shared tips, best practices, and practical solutions Example projects may include games, tools, or prototypes—personal or professional. All experience levels are welcome. Whether you’re just getting started or refining advanced systems, this is a supportive space to learn and build together. **Food and drinks provided. Join us to learn, collaborate, and connect.**

The Forge does have a full bar and kitchen. There is no cover charge but they do request all attendees to purchase a minimum of ~$20 per person. Soft drink refills are $1 each. Please support our hosts so we can continue to provide great events for the group! The Forge has a large library of games available for us to enjoy. Hosts and regulars will also provide numerous popular games but please bring any games you would like to teach and/or play. Doors open at 6, and we expect gaming to be rolling by around 630. Please promptly end your games and clear out the space at 10pm when the bar closes. We encourage socializing but do not permit disruptive behavior of any kind. Thank you for your continued commitment to providing a fun and welcoming space to veteran, newbie, and rookie gamers in the Columbus area! Parking can be challenging. There is a parking lot behind the building that is free and easy to walk from but it's a bit hidden.

Join us at the Pickerington Public Library for an afternoon board game party.

Come and make new friends while playing some favorites like Uno, Carcasonne, Catan, Ticket to Ride, or whatever your favorite games are! You can bring snacks to this room, and can check out games from the library's game collection.

Join us every Saturday of January for a day of boardgaming !!! You first visit is free and if you were not a member in 2025 you can join for the rest of the year for only **$40!!!**

Come game with us !!! Your first visit is FREE!!! Let's play one of the 2000+ games we have on site or bring one of yours.

Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that. We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus. 
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for. 
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
