This time we visit again the beautiful Theatre de Poche in Bois de la Cambre! After the show we can drink something and discuss at the cozy bar of the theater. [informations](https://poche.be/show/2025-le-long-chemin-du-retour) [Ticket](https://shop.utick.net/?pos=POCHE&module=ACTIVITYSERIEDETAILS&s=1CDA7DC4-DB97-49B3-46D3-282B2CC97A46) Nick et Tom reviennent à la maison après avoir fait la guerre d’Afghanistan. En apparence ils vont bien. Mais ils ont ramené avec eux quelques souvenirs encombrants : les fantômes de soldats en mission envahissent leur quotidien, troublant les retrouvailles en famille, perturbant leurs jours et leurs nuits, s’immisçant dans les tâches ménagères, et leurs tentatives d’oublier ce qu’ils ont vu... Le Long Chemin du retour permet d’ouvrir la réflexion tant sur les dégâts collatéraux des guerres se profilant à nos portes, que sur une certaine attirance pour la violence.

Making new friends in a new city doesn’t need to be a struggle at all.

On March 13, 2026, we gather under a powerful celestial alignment: Black Moon Lilith & Antares activating Venus in Aries.

Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above. There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change. The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/). Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers. For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
