Mindful and Intuitive Eating

***Spring is back in Brussels, and this time we’re celebrating*** **Easter Sunday properly**: a garden BBQ, shared food, sun, and a table that actually brings people together. This event is about the **spirit of Easter**: renewal, sharing, generosity, and sitting down with others to enjoy real food and real conversation. You don’t need to be religious. You don’t need to believe anything. You just need to show up with the right mindset. **Everyone is welcome — all backgrounds, all cultures, all beliefs.** **The vibe** Backyard BBQ, relaxed but intentional Sharing food, stories, and cultures Conversations that move freely between languages **Food philosophy (important)** Easter is about **sharing and abundance**, not convenience. We strongly prefer **homemade food to share**. This is how you bring something meaningful to the table. Let’s be honest: **sad last-minute supermarket food has nothing to do with Easter values.** If you cook, cook something real; something your mama would cook. If you don’t cook, don’t compensate with low-effort junk. **If you cannot cook:** **You can still fully participate by contributing to the food preparation** **→ cash on arrival or via Payconiq / Wise / Revolut** This allows us to prepare proper dishes and keep quality high. Bring & Share (if you cook) **Food + drinks for you AND something to share** Cultural dishes encouraged: bring your “this is what we eat at home” Homemade always wins Drinks= Better quality, more balance We especially need proper soft drinks and also water **Location (shared privately)** **Address shared only with confirmed participants who:** **Join the WhatsApp group** **Send a short intro: name + languages + interests** **WhatsApp: https://chat.whatsapp.com/F2hTxZ4TT3hHICiihX1Efy** **Rules** **Not a dating event** No drama, no weird behavior, no pushing boundaries Respect the place, the people, and the spirit of the day **Come to share, not just to consume.** * * This is not an “NPC meetup” where everyone tiptoes around like they’re negotiating a hostage release. People can talk freely and share opinions. **No censorship, no tone-policing, no drama farming.** * **No creeps. No harassment. No pushing after a “no.” No weird DMs.** * Respect the host’s home, neighbors, and the group. * If you act shady, you’re out. Simple.

First time comers Please make sure to read the rules and contact the organizer before! Otherwise you will be moved to waiting list. Apologies for inconvenience but we have to do it to avoid no-shows. New and Interested in being part of our group? Join here, https://chat.whatsapp.com/KqdVhyuBhFz1d56lv4WVVi Please Direct Message the Organizer with your level. Approval is required before your first RSVP. Games format. 95% are double games (unless someone needs a break), typically 4 people play together 2 sets and then mix with players from other fields. We play with plastic shuttles - Yonex Mavis 2000 (which are provided). Registration If it's your first time, please send a private message to the host to confirm. No-shows are taken quite seriously because they unbalance the games a lot. Also once you register please keep an eye on you private messages, in case we need to contact you. Players level Having players with much less experience often unbalances the game making it much less interesting for more experienced players. We still try to be welcoming. As a rule of thumb, if you know what a "clear" is, you are welcome to join. Otherwise, feel free to get in touch with me (John) and we can see if we can arrange so you and existing players can have good experience playing. Price and payments The price of participation is EUR 9. Payment is on-site in cash, or via online. Info provided during or shortly after the event in the WhatsApp group. Cancelations and no-shows Switches and cancellations are free of charge if done more than 50 hours before the start of the matches If you cancel within the 50-hour window before the event starts, you will be placed on the wait-list for the next week's event, whether or not a replacement is found. If no replacement is secured, you'll still need to cover your share of the costs. Contact Questions or first-time approval requests? DM the Organizer with your playing level and availability.

Welcome to our weekly event in the upstairs room of The Sister Café, rue Chair et Pain 3, one block from the Grand Place. Please get there early enough to order your drink at the bar first. Thank you! After introductions we will collect questions from the group participants, choose one by voting then discuss it for an hour. Then most of us stay for drinks and bizarre conversations. Past questions have been wide and not confined to academic philosophy: What is a genuine friend? Is social media turning us into emotional zombies? Do we lose some of the experience of things by defining them? Are we driven by sex? Is loneliness a personal failure? Is morality relative? **Crucially, be kind and respectful and generous** in your disagreements; remember how much you personally enjoy someone else proving you wrong before celebrating your cutting counterexamples.

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. 1266 Dublin Road, Columbus, OH 43215 Hosted by the Church of Scientology of Central Ohio For more information, contact Rhiannon, the Event Host at 614-221-5024
