Indian Vegan & Veg Cooking Workshop – Friday Eve, 6th March
Welcome, everyone, to a delectable foodie meetup where you'll embark on a journey to master the art of crafting authentic Indian dishes, tailored to your dietary preferences—be it **vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free.** Immerse yourself in the rich aroma of Indian herbs as we guide you through these culinary adventures.
Our cooking workshops promise to transport your taste buds across India's diverse regions—North, East, West, and South—bringing to your kitchen the vibrant flavours that define each corner of our country. No longer will you need to venture out to savour the exquisite tastes of India; now, you can recreate them in the comfort of your own home. As the age-old Indian proverb attests, "The finest Indian food is crafted within one's own kitchen." While patience is a virtue in the culinary world, fear not, for patience is precisely what we'll impart here.
Over the course of 2.5 hours, you'll gain mastery over a variety of Indian culinary delights. And to conclude, you'll have the delightful opportunity to share your creations with your loved ones, taking the essence of India's culinary heritage beyond our meetup.
Join us for an unforgettable experience where you'll not only learn to cook but also unravel the secrets of Indian cuisine. Your culinary journey starts here!

Blood on the clock tower (Beginners) @ Sofitel Jourdan
**Please update your attendance if you can not join as this game as we need to know the exact number of players.**
We'll be playing the original *Trouble Brewing* variant, suitable for beginners. Here are a few helpful links:
* [How to play video](https://youtu.be/M-aZP47Nm9g)
* [Gameplay video by Good Time Society](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-aZP47Nm9g)
* [Characters description](https://wiki.bloodontheclocktower.com/Trouble_Brewing)
Blood on the Clocktower is a game of murder and mystery, lies and logic, deduction and deception for five-to-twenty courageous players and one devious storyteller.
A social game played in person, seated in a circle, each player receives either a ‘good’ or ‘evil’ token with their unique character on it. Good players share information to solve the mystery whilst evil players lie about who they are and what they know. The good team wins if they can piece together their knowledge, trust each other, and execute the demon. The evil team wins if the demon can sow distrust, evade detection, and wipe out the village.
Intervals Workout Session 🏃🏻♂️🏃🏼♀️🏃🏻 Bois de la Cambre
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

**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!**

ReelAbilities Film Festival Showing of Sign The Show at NVRC
ReelAbilities Film Festival Screening: Sign the Show
Groundbreaking and truly one of a kind, Sign the Show pulls back the curtain on accessibility in entertainment for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. Through humorous, heartfelt, and deeply insightful conversations, the documentary challenges assumptions, sparks laughter, and invites audiences to see access not as an add-on — but as essential.
By centering lived experiences and honest dialogue, the film redefines what inclusion can look like on screen, on stage, and beyond. It explores the intersection of Deaf culture, performance, creativity, and equity in a way that is both thought-provoking and empowering.
Special Live Talkback Discussion
Following the screening, we’ll host a live discussion featuring the film’s director, Cat Brewer, joining us virtually via Zoom. She will be joined by Julie Rems Smario (featured in the film), offering behind-the-scenes insights into the making of the documentary, the creative process, and the larger conversation around accessibility in the arts.
Accessibility Provided:
ASL interpreters and CART captioning will be provided during the talkback to ensure full communication access for all attendees.
Hosted at the Northern Virginia Resource Center for Deaf & Hard of Hearing Persons (NVRC), this event promises not only a compelling film experience but also a meaningful community conversation.
Come ready to laugh, reflect, ask questions, and leave thinking differently about access and representation

👩🚀🎬 PROJECT HAIL MARY
***🚀 In a world full of uncertainties, sometimes a leap of faith is the only move left.***
👋**Alright you guys!** Let’s diving into this curious sci-fi tale produced and directed by **Phil Lord** and **Christopher Miller**. The movie is based on the novel **[Project Hail Mary](https://www.geeksundergrace.com/books/review-project-hail-mary/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23139483815&gbraid=0AAAAAqvjQFMYnc3ud9V-P6SSY-qXebUwV&gclid=CjwKCAiAqprNBhB6EiwAMe3yhlboGns-cQO3Mv9lFvsWTJAIiuzsCE9i5o0NSll4xoYqRNMRq343BBoCDP8QAvD_BwE)** by **Andy Weir** (The Martian.) and was a hit back in 2021 blending science, suspense, and humour. **Ryan Gosling** was so drawn to the book, that he jumped on board as producer.
The film follows a man who wakes up on an interstellar spacecraft with no memory of how he got there and soon realises he’s on a mission to save Earth. Definitely something to chat about over drinks and bring to life in a nutshell.
We’ll keep things easygoing with a **casual pre-social** before heading into the screening together. Afterward, we’ll wrap up with a **[Letterboxd](https://letterboxd.com/movieroadhouse/) review and discussion.** More details, including timing and location (very likely in the Tysons area), will be updated closer to the date.
I’m hearing a lot of buzz about the film, so it should be a fun watch!
**Can't wait to catch up with you guys**
**Chat soon**
