Live Your Best Life

**Release & Reset Yoga:** **Gentle flow to unwind, breathe, and reset** (please register in advance at [https://ewalitke.com/yoga/#agenda](https://ewalitke.com/yoga/#agenda)) Do you ever feel like your head is racing 24/7, and the constant "run" of daily life is making you lose perspective? Many of us spend our days in a "*business spin*," caught in a whirlwind of meetings and deadlines where we literally forget to breathe. If you are looking for more than just a workout, but a place to **stop the autopilot** and reconnect with yourself — this class is for you. **What makes this class different?** This isn't a mass-market gym session where you're just another face in the crowd. It is a tailor-made experience in a safe, intimate group where your individual needs are truly seen and answered. I don't believe in "*performing*" or pushing to 100%. Instead, we focus on intention, listening to our bodies, and finding that sweet spot where physical challenge meets deep relaxation. **The Experience:** * **The "*Switch*":** We begin by centering ourselves, shifting the "*gear*" from work mode to being present. * **Active Flow:** A structured, balanced practice to strengthen your body and address those "office life" aches in the back, neck, and wrists. * **The Soothing Finish:** A student favorite. We end with a long, guided relaxation and Savasana — a "balm of relief" for your nervous system that helps you drop the stress and leave feeling 100% better. Come as you are, whether you're tired, stressed, or just need a moment for yourself. Let’s step off the treadmill together and **recharge your week.** **Every Tuesday \| Suitable for all levels \| Beginners are warmly welcome\!** Book through my website: [https://ewalitke.com/yoga/#agenda](https://ewalitke.com/yoga/#agenda) **Prices**: Drop in 20 EUR 4-class pass: 68 EUR

Taucht ein in die Welt von GitOps! Euch erwarten zwei spannende Vorträge rund um FluxCD in der Praxis. Christian Fritz teilt seine Erfahrungen aus zwei Jahren produktivem GitOps-Einsatz – von Erfolgen bis zu Stolpersteinen. Thorsten Wussow zeigt live, wie Progressive Deployments mit Flagger und Istio für sichere und hochverfügbare Kubernetes-Deployments sorgen. Perfekt für alle, die GitOps evaluieren oder ihre bestehenden Setups optimieren möchten! **Dieses Meetup wird ausnahmsweise auf Deutsch sein und HYBRID\. \|** Zoom Link wird ein paar Tage vor dem Event in Meetup zu Verfügung gestellt. **\*\*\* AGENDA \*\*\*** * 18:30–19:00 Uhr \| Einlass mit Snacks und Getränken\. * 19:00 Uhr \| Begrüßung und Einführung \- Start des hybriden Meetups 19:05 Uhr \| GitOps Adventures aus der Praxis: Lessons Learned \- Zwei Jahre GitOps mit FluxCD in Produktion von Christian Fritz \(QAware GmbH\) ca\. 20:05 Uhr \| Flux mit Flagger und Istio \- Progressive Kubernetes Deployments von Thorsten Wussow \(Slix GmbH\) Anschließend: Weitere Snacks und Getränke und viel Zeit zum Networking mit allen Teilnehmern und Referenten. **\*\*\* ABSTRACTS \*\*\*** **GitOps Adventures aus der Praxis: Lessons Learned - Zwei Jahre GitOps mit FluxCD in Produktion von Christian Fritz (QAware GmbH)** Diese Etappe des GitOps Adventures erzählt aus dem wahren Leben: Seit zwei Jahren arbeite ich in einem Projekt, das schon zu diesem Zeitpunkt auf GitOps mit FluxCD setzte. In diesem Vortrag zeige ich unser aktuelles GitOps Setup und wie neue Features über unsere drei Stages in die Produktion gelangen. Dabei zeige ich die Vorteile wie bessere Reproduzierbarkeit und Effizienz, gehe aber auch auf Herausforderungen und Nachteile ein: von komplexen Fehleranalysen bis hin zu organisatorischen Stolpersteinen. Außerdem gebe ich einen Ausblick, wo wir noch Verbesserungspotenzial sehen. Dieser ehrliche Erfahrungsbericht bietet praktische Einblicke und Learnings für alle, die GitOps evaluieren oder weiterentwickeln wollen. **Flux mit Flagger und Istio - Progressive Kubernetes Deployments von Thorsten Wussow (Slix GmbH)** Heutzutage ist eine hohe Erreichbarkeit von Applikationen essentiell, auch bei einem Wechsel auf eine neue Version. Ebenso gibt es eine hohe Kadenz der Bereitstellungen. Dies birgt immer das Risiko, das sich Fehler in der neuen Version einschleichen, oder Ausfälle der Software während der Bereitstellung auftreten. Eine Möglichkeit das Risiko zu minimieren ist das Verwenden von verschiedenen Deploymentstrategien wie z.B. Blue/Green Deployments, Canary-Deployments oder A/B-Testing. Ein Tool das uns hier sehr gut unterstützen kann ist Flagger. In diesem Vortrag wird anhand von Live-Demos gezeigt wie mit Flagger im Zusammenspiel mit Flux, Istio (oder einem anderen ServiceMesh) oder einem IngressController diese Deploymentstrategien umgesetzt werden können. Auch werden die Unterschiede zwischen Canary Deployments, A/B Testing, Blue/Green Deployment und weiteren Strategien erläutert und wann man welche Methode verwenden kann. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Während unserer Meetups werden Fotos aufgenommen.

As a new cycle starts, we invite you to pause, reflect, and realign. Together, we’ll look back on the past year — celebrating lessons, growth, and meaningful moments — and then gently turn our focus forward, setting our eyes and minds firmly on what we want to create in the year ahead. This will be a structured, guided session designed to help you think clearly and intentionally. Bring your favourite pen, and together we’ll fill in our own Year Compass using the brochure we’ll provide. The writing will be done in focused time blocks, with short breaks in between — offering space for those who wish to share insights, reflections, or simply connect in conversation. Come for clarity. Come for direction. Come for a shared moment of reflection and intention. We look forward to experiencing this meaningful start to the year with you. Event fee is 15 euros.

**Feeling Like You’re on Autopilot?** You’re doing all the right things — showing up, getting work done, meeting expectations — yet inside, it feels like you’ve hit pause. You’re not learning, not growing, and there’s nothing left to prove. Life is moving, but you feel… stuck. [Click](https://calendly.com/ahmed-signature-strengths/coaching_session) to book your free 50-minute session today. You might find yourself thinking: * “Maybe I’m the problem for not feeling fulfilled anymore.” * “I’m going through life but without purpose. I’m working, but not adding any value.” * “I’ve lost confidence in myself.” If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. **What We’ll Do Together** In this 50-minute clarity session, we’ll slow down and untangle what’s really happening beneath the surface. We’ll explore the patterns, fears, and blind spots that keep you stuck — and reconnect you with what brings energy, meaning, and direction. You’ll walk away with: * **Clarity**: A deeper understanding of what you want (and what’s been blocking it). * **Perspective**: Awareness of your strengths and how they connect to your sense of purpose. * **Momentum**: A simple, realistic next step to start moving forward again. **Why We Get Stuck** People tend to get stuck for three main reasons: * **Lack of clarity** – “I don’t know what I want anymore, what gives me energy, or what drains me.” * **Fear of failure** – “What if I make the wrong decision? I have too much responsibility to risk failing.” * **Exhaustion** – “I know what I want, but I’m tired of trying and not getting there.” The truth is, clarity doesn’t come from overthinking — it comes from reconnecting with your strengths and what genuinely matters to you. **Why I Created this Session** I’ve worked with many midlife professionals who reached a point where success stopped feeling fulfilling. They weren’t broken — they were simply ready for a new chapter that aligned with who they’ve become. Through coaching, I’ve helped clients reconnect with their strengths, rediscover purpose, and take confident, meaningful steps forward — personally and professionally. This session was created to help you do the same: get unstuck, get clear, and start moving again. **What to Expect** * 1:1 virtual coaching via Zoom (50 minutes) * Reflective conversation tailored to your situation * Practical insights, mindset shifts, and clarity tools * A calm, supportive space to talk openly about what’s next **Ready to Get Unstuck?** This is a limited-time free clarity session — an opportunity to pause, reflect, and realign before taking your next step. [Click](https://calendly.com/ahmed-signature-strengths/coaching_session) to book your free 50-minute session today. Because sometimes, the only thing standing between you and clarity is one honest conversation.

On 26.02.2026 we visit Atelier 210 in Etterbeek for the **Science & Cocktails #44Lendert Gelens + Noisy Nuns (be)** The idea is to explore the more alternative art scene of Brussels. We’ll kick things off with a cozy Thursday evening event: Cocktail in hand and surrounded by friends, we’ll experience a live science experiment designed to spark some philosophical thoughts — followed by a concert if you feel like sticking around a bit longer. tickets: 10€ (included a cocktail or a mocktail) to buy from the event page: [event page](https://atelier210.be/saisons/saison-25-26/science-cocktails-44/) ‍+ **Life without a blueprint (Lendert Gelens, PhD VUB):** Lessons from frog eggs Life is more than DNA. Every living cell is a bustling, self-organizing system where countless molecules cooperate without a master plan. In our lab, we explore this mystery by taking frog eggs apart and watching their molecular “soup” come alive again — forming nuclei, dividing, and even building simple cell-like structures. By combining experiments with physical modeling and computer simulations, we uncover some of the hidden rules that let life build itself and adapt to changing environments. Such work forces us to think differently about life’s origins and what it takes for matter to become living. What makes something alive? **Noisy Nuns (be)** Noisy Nuns are two women sweating behind their keyboards and drums, combining raw energy with incisive melodies. They have both cut their teeth in the Belgian rock scene, working on projects such as Moaning Cities, Von Dead, SOROR, Dario Mars... and decided, with Noisy Nuns, to create a more personal project, giving free rein to their instincts.

A dedicated and inspirational educator, Han Bin is currently a professor of cello and chamber music at the Royal Conservatory of Mons (ARTS²). His artistic vision for the Belgium Cello Society Masterclasses and his leadership position as the Jury Chairperson of the Buchet International Cello Competition constantly attract top cellists from around the world to his activities. Be part of this conversation and let’s chat about how music plays a part of your life & the world around us. Free to attend - but you need to register your place! Inspiration, tea and a glass of wine are offered to you ❤️.

Communication is everything in life You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.

Always an overachiever, David Bayer didn't settle for being Number Two in just about anything. Whether a runaway entrepreneurial success as a teenager, the leading online director for Ducati with over $70 million in sales, or as an early mid-life crisis overachiever with at least three wildly self-destructive behavioral addictions, whatever David did, he did it wholeheartedly. Not surprisingly then, when it came to facing his failures and determining his next course of action, David sought health and healing with the same full-strength effort he had previously used to bring about his own ruination. Seeking to learn from the best of the best, David's pursuit of tangible, practical, actual change from the mind and emotions, outward, brought a new passion--that of encouraging others to learn from his mistakes and to be able to strive after and achieve healing and success in their own lives. We are reading *A Changed Mind*, by David Bayer, and can't wait to enjoy the group discussion on **Wednesday, March 4, 2026, 6:30 pm**, at **True Food Kitchen, Easton Town Center**. Come join us!

Feeling down? Sometimes depressed? Can't focus? Negativity & stress? Recent losses? Creativity in career and personal life hindered by mental blocks? Sometimes we never fully recover from traumatic experiences. Whether it was yesterday, last week or a year ago, traumatic experiences - a loss of a loved one, losing a job, a breakup - can leave you scarred. You talk about it and feel a little better, but it never goes away. After you hang up the phone, it's still there; the sadness, the cloud, the over-thinking, the worry, the guilt. You try to focus, but you're blocked. You try to look forward into new experiences, new relationships but a cloud is hanging over you, casting a shadow on what you once considered a bright, cheerful future. What happened to your courage? Your strength of character? You're 'why not' attitude? Whoever said 'time heals' must have had a special time machine, because after weeks, months, years, you're wondering - when exactly does that kick in? Sometimes it seems like drinking or drugs are the way to go. But they wear off, and now the problem is still there with added side effects from the drugs. At this free local Meetup event we will talk about: * What causes grief, anxiety and depression to become chronic. * Is it possible to regain your joy and happiness even after traumatic experiences? * How to break away from negativity and focus on the future * What are the steps to take to get control of your mind and your emotions? Learn about a safe, gentle, do-it-yourself counseling that can be done in the comfort of your own home. Let's explore safe, effective solutions for healing from traumatic experiences. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center.

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.
