Spend time in the company of other writers putting pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard. Work on your current project or start something new. If you are fresh out of inspiration a member of the Wordcraft Collective will be ready with a prompt to get you going. You can use that to unlock your creative brain before moving back to your own project or run with it. Who knows where the story will take you? Arrive when you like, leave when you like, or join us for a drink in the bar downstairs afterwards. Location: Pianofabriek, Rue du Fort 35, 1060 Saint-Gilles.

**“A creative space to connect with your body.”** ​In the rush of everyday life, it can be easy to forget to slow down and listen to what is happening within. ​Yet this is often where a deeper kind of wisdom can be found. The body is constantly communicating with us - if we give ourselves the space to notice and listen. ​This workshop offers just that: a gentle space to reconnect and explore what your body might be asking for. ​Join us for a creative journey where we will settle the nervous system through sensorial, tactile exercises that bring you into contact with your body. Laura will then guide you through an inner listening process, allowing your own sensations, images, and insights to emerge. ​Everyone is welcome. You don’t need any previous artistic experience - just a bit of curiosity. **Price: 15 euros per person** **Please book via the following link:** [https://luma.com/4rrgaipu](https://luma.com/4rrgaipu) *Clicking 'attending' on Meetup does not secure you a space!* ​**What you can expect:** ​- a kind, respectful and non-judgmental atmosphere \- gentle\, guided explorations \- the use of different media such as paint\, ink\, clay\, drawing or collage ​**Practical information:** ​- Workshop duration: 2 hours \- Open to all from 14 \+ \- Language: English but a French translation is possible \- Please wear comfortable\, loose clothing that allows you to move freely and that you don't mind getting paint on \- All materials will be provided \- Please bring something to take your work home in \(a folder\, a plastic sleeve\, etc\.\) ​**About Laura:** ​Laura is a second year art-therapy student. She previously trained and worked as a puppeteer for her theatre company, Théâtre de l'Heure Bleue, and continues to work as a visual artist. She is currently developing an art therapy project using shadow puppetry with patients in palliative care, alongside a somatic-based project for people living with trauma or chronic illness. Her creative process is deeply kinaesthetic, translating felt experience into visual expression. ​For more information: [www.theatredelheurebleue.com](https://www.theatredelheurebleue.com/?utm_source=luma) or find her on Instagram: theatredelheurebleue

We spend so much of the week keeping up. With work, with people, with the version of ourselves we're supposed to be. Saturday morning can be different. 🌿 Come and join for an honest conversation and a mindful walk with people who also get it. No pressure to share anything you're not ready to share. You can talk as much or as little as you like; sometimes, just being outside in nature with good people is enough. *This is the first in a series of regular walks for the [Mental Fitness Collective](https://www.meetup.com/mental-fitness-collective/) — a simple, free morning to step outside, move at a gentle pace, and be around people who aren't performing either.* **📍Meeting point:** Stella - Coffee Food Bakery (next to the tram stop Legrand), where you can buy a drink of your choice (optional). 🗓️ **Agenda:** We'll take a relaxed walk through Bois de la Cambre and a full loop around the lake, about 4-5 km, at a pace where conversation feels comfortable. We'll finish at the roundabout at the end of Av. Louise. **Small housekeeping rule:** What happens in the group stays in the group. Whatever is shared between participants during our time together stays between us. It is to make sure this feels like a safe place to be honest. I'll be there to welcome everyone. Come as you are. 🌿 Free to join, RSVP to save your spot! *The event is weather-dependent.* *This walk will run every other Saturday. Each one is standalone, so come whenever it works for you. Join our group, [Mental Fitness Collective](https://www.meetup.com/mental-fitness-collective/), and get notified of our events.*
