Just Start

Do you ever find yourself caught between the "polite" answer and your honest truth? Many of us silence our real thoughts out of a fear of rejection, but hiding our boundaries often costs us our confidence. We invite you to join us for an intimate introduction to **Conflict Resolution and Management**. This isn't just a seminar; it is a safe space to explore how we can stop fearing friction and start navigating it with grace. **The Journey:** Together, we will look beyond the surface of arguments. We will explore the psychology behind why we hesitate, identify the different shapes conflict takes, and learn strategic yet empathetic ways to tackle them. Whether you are navigating dynamics with a boss, a neighbor, or a life partner, you will learn that conflict doesn't have to be a battle. When approached correctly, it is an integral part of your success and a pathway to deeper connection. **Your Comfort Matters:** We believe true learning happens when you feel safe. During the session, you will be invited to explore these concepts in the way that feels most natural to you—whether through the quiet reflection of **writing** or the active engagement of **speaking**. Come as you are, and leave with the tools to set boundaries, voice your authentic opinion, and stand in your confidence. ***

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. *SCHEDULE* \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 14:00 - Quick introductions 14:15 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour 15:15 - Break: let's rest our hands for a minute with a quick chat 15:30 - Timer starts again: write for 1 hour 16:30 - The End: chat, take off, or keep writing **You can come for just one hour (at 14:00 or 15:30) or do the whole session.** OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 16:30. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled. If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you at the Wereldcafé ! *What Should I Bring?* \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Whatever you need to be able to write!

Transforming my house into a glittery playground to welcome 2🪩26 in style! I have already about 30 people coming, mostly internationals, and there are still some spots left!

As this will be our first walk of the New Year, we are offering an optional reflection session before the walk. Theme of the reflection: What do we want to let go of? This **pre-walk session is an optional addition**. If you wish to participate, please go directly to the [Maison du Prieur](https://maisonduprieur.be/) (where we usually end our walks) **at 14:00.** I will hold a friendly and safe space for reflection and exchange. **Walk-only option** If you prefer to join only for the walk, Alan will pick you up at Herrmann-Debroux metro station (Loxam side) **at 15:30**. Inspired by the magical atmosphere of our previous daytime-to-dusk walk, we will once again walk silently through the forest for about 1.5 hours. The invitation is to slow down, notice the world around you, and tune into what is happening inside. Many participants experience a deeper connection with nature and with themselves, sometimes accompanied by surprising insights. **Practical information** Distance: approx. 4.5 km Pace: slow, no breaks Please make sure you are fit enough for the full walk If you RSVP, please be on time, either for the **14:00 pre-walk** session or the **15:30 walk-only** meeting point We look forward to seeing you for either part — or both — on Saturday, January 3, 2026.

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!
