Connect to your joy: a full moon cacao & drum ritual
=== [Confirm your your presence](https://hipsy.be/event/213471-connect-to-your-joy-a-full-moon-cacao-drum-ritual) ===

When life feels overwhelming or a season of transition leaves you feeling disconnected from your own body, finding your way back to center can feel like a heavy task. But returning to yourself doesn't always have to be hard work.
Anchored by the comforting, rich warmth of ceremonial cacao, we will create a grounding space to help you land safely back in your physical body. From this place of deep, earthy coziness, we’ll use gentle rhythm to invite in a sense of lightness and simple, child-like play.
This experience is designed to help you peel back the layers of stress and rediscover your "inner smile"—that stable, quiet joy that lives beneath the noise. If you are ready to shed some weight, reconnect with who you are, and leave feeling lighter, you belong here.
✨ This ritual is an invitation to pause, step out of the daily rush, and simply let yourself *be*.
While cacao is traditionally known as a medicine of the heart and love, in this space, we will lean into its comforting warmth to help us gently relax and open up. It gently expands our capacity for inner listening, creating the perfect earthy foundation for joy to naturally arise.
Supported by breath, sound, movement, and community, this ritual offers a safe, grounded space to:
* release the physical tension of overwhelm
* reconnect with your body in a gentle, nourishing way
* embody inner joy—not as an abstract idea, but as a lived experience

Cutting Clutter, Planting Intentions
**Cutting Clutter, Planting Intentions**
Spring is nature’s ultimate reset button. As the earth sheds the frost to make room for new growth, it invites us to do the same. But before you can plant something new, you usually have to clear out the weeds. What mental clutter is taking up space in your head right now, and what do you actually want to cultivate in your life?
Join us in the cozy, backyard of a lovely local bookshop for a warm, friendly, and hands-on afternoon. Through a series of collaborative writing and drawing activities, we will explore ways to dust off the winter cobwebs and map out our intentions.
Then, we'll get practical. We’ll be decorating plant pots with personal intentions, before filling them with soil and planting real plants. You'll leave the bookshop with a tangible, living reminder of what you’re choosing to grow this season.
Whether you want to dive a bit deeper or just have some fun—all are welcome.
Get ready to experiment, play, meet others, and have fun!
All materials will be provided.
***Ticket €5-10 cash at the door***
Covers cost of materials and some snacks.

Cinematek : Invasión
**Cinematek : Invasión**
30/05 @ 20h
**ENTRE BORGES Y LA LUCHA ARMADA: INVASIÓN DE HUGO SANTIAGO**
Por Pablo Gamba
Invasión (1969), el primer largometraje de Hugo Santiago, fue escrito por Jorge Luis Borges y el director, basado en una idea de este mismo escritor y Adolfo Bioy Casares.
[...]
**Otra manera de ver**
A primera vista Invasión podría ser considerada también como uno de esos “relatos que marcan el miedo o extrañeza de una clase poseedora ante el avance de otro amenazante”, los cuales abundan en la literatura argentina, como escribió recientemente Nicolás Prividera en una nota sobre tres películas argentinas recientes.4 Eso explicaría también la actitud de los que no aplauden el filme, puesto que el representante mayoritario de ese “otro” es el peronismo, de acuerdo con Prividera, aunque los orígenes literarios del tema se remontan a El matadero de Esteban Echeverría (1838-1840).
La película se desarrolla en Aquilea, en 1957. Es un año que los guionistas eligieron “porque no proporcionaba ningún dato en especial”, según David Oubiña.5 Pero en la ciudad ficticia hay referentes identificables de Buenos Aires, como la Bombonera, la cancha de Boca Juniors, donde el nombre de la ciudad real puede leerse en un poster. Además, Aquilea fue destruida por Atila en 452, después de tres meses de sitio, lo que podría dar pie para comparar al “otro” con los bárbaros que atacaron al Imperio Romano.
El filme relata la resistencia de un grupo de agentes a un intento de invasión que comienza con la introducción de contrabando de un transmisor de radio a la ciudad. La historia está relatada desde el punto de vista de los defensores, cuya actividad clandestina incluso se presta para identificarlos como un grupo parapolicial. Pero los que torturan son los invasores y los de la resistencia son los que tienen un fin trágico. Eso pareciera darles la razón a los que consideran que se asume en el filme la perspectiva ideológica de El matadero.
Un problema para identificar Aquilea con Argentina es el tipo de realismo de la película. En primer lugar, hay un efecto de extrañamiento en la representación de los límites de la ciudad del filme, que no pueden ser las de Buenos Aires. Así lo explica el director: “Es cierto que en la frontera norte hay islas como si hubiera un delta, eso hay, pero hay otras cosas. Por ejemplo hacia el nor-noroeste hay una frontera montañosa. Cuando lo escribimos con Borges […], cuando escribimos que llegan, pasan, y hay unas montañas en el fondo. Esa transgresión de saber que no era aquí porque había montañas fue una violencia enorme que nos hicimos a nosotros mismos, y nos reímos mucho”.
También crean un efecto de extrañamiento ciertos ruidos que se repiten constantemente. Fueron producidos por Edgardo Cantón en el Laboratorio de Música Electrónica del Instituto Torcuato di Tella. La duda de si sólo forman parte de la banda sonora o los escuchan los personajes es despejada por la escena en la que el agente Lebendiger mueve la cabeza de un lado a otro, como buscando el origen de uno de esos ruidos. Más extrañamente aún, suena como un pájaro en el bowling donde se reúnen los agentes de la resistencia a la invasión, comandados por Herrera. Si en la Aquilea de la película se reconoce visualmente a Buenos Aires, esos sonidos producen la impresión contraria.
Los invasores también son representados de una forma extraña. Algunos son gauchos a caballo, y en ellos podría reconocerse a un “otro” rural. Pero hay un desembarco que podría hacer pensar en marines estadounidenses, y dos imágenes que representan a los que invaden de forma desconcertante: las avionetas de la invasión aérea, que no son aviones de combate, y sobre todo los numerosos automóviles que se reúnen silenciosamente en diversos lugares, con los faros encendidos. Son una presencia tan inexplicable como amenazante. Todo eso invita a hacer diversas conjeturas acerca de qué tipo de invasión se trata, en vez de confirmar lo consabido que se desprende del lugar común literario.
[...]
**Forma sin contenido**
En la medida en que Invasión se despega del registro de la Buenos Aires real y de la reproducción del tópico literario, puede hallarse en ella algo más interesante: ya no el contenido sino la forma del conflicto implícito en el temor al “otro”.
Jung Ha Kang ve de esa manera la película, en un texto titulado “La forma es el mensaje”: “Si la obra de Santiago, Borges y Bioy Casares puede ser leída como una versión fílmica de la escena […] de la violación, la penetración, la invasión de la civitas, la Ciudad […], por una exterioridad amenazante, las características con las cuales esta última es representada hacen imposible de leer como una ‘alegoría histórica’: ni se trata de la barbarie rosista de Facundo ni del peronismo de Casa tomada, ni de un golpe de Estado militar ni de ninguna manifestación política concreta. Si hay política en Invasión, ella se encuentra en un nivel máximo de la ficcionalización, como un grado cero […], como una forma pura. El enfrentamiento puro es la forma pura de la política: ese es el tema de ese ‘cine puro’ que propone Invasión, y es su forma la que nos conduce a él.”

We start our hike ***with a challenging climb*** that brings us up to **Limbourg**, one of the ***most beautiful villages in Wallonia***. Perched on a hilltop this historic town offers ***charming cobbled streets and wide views*** over the surrounding countryside.
From Limbourg we mainly follow the **GR 573** leading us to the **Barrage de la Gileppe**. This monumental dam guarded by ***two imposing stone lions overlooks*** a vast reservoir surrounded by forest and known for its peaceful atmosphere. We take the time ***to walk around the lake*** and enjoy the scenery. After lunch we continue our hike through ***quiet woodland*** paths gradually making our way to our destination **Eupen**.
***After our hike*** we continue our good habit of ***taking a nice beer/pancake/snack in a local pub*** in Eupen before returning to Brussels.
**Please don't forget to pay Maikel a drink :-)**
We will walk at ***an average speed of 5km/h*** both on paved and unpaved roads. ***I’ve never walked this road before so it’s possible that there are some mistakes in the planning***. This means it could become longer.
