Let’s take a small break from the noise and step into something calmer.
We’ll meet in the main hall of are centrale, and go together for a relaxed walk through one of the largest Japanese gardens in Europe. Expect quiet paths, water, bridges, seasonal colors, and a very different pace.
This is not a “guided tour” or a workout.
Just a simple moment to slow down, walk, breathe, and connect—with the place and with each other.
You’re welcome to come alone or with guests, meet new people, and just enjoy the atmosphere if that’s what you need.
👉 We’ll move slowly, stop when it feels right, maybe sit for a bit, or do some Qigong and maybe share a tea/coffee after
**Practical:**
* Meeting point: Gare centrale Bruxelles, train departs 9.12 to Hasselt.
* Duration: You're free to leave whenever you feel like it
* Bring: Comfortable shoes, weather-appropriate clothing
* Optional: water, tea, or something small to share
No pressure, no performance. Just a good moment.

Concert traditionnel: Mystère des voix bulgares.
Inscrivez vous ici.
Puis Achetez votre ticket directement sur le site de Bozar.
https://www.bozar.be/fr/calendrier/le-mystere-des-voix-bulgares
Je suis au siège D52.
Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares porte bien son nom. Depuis plus de 70 ans, ce chœur de femmes bulgares enchante par son timbre unique et brut et sa musique énigmatique. Le chœur est devenu célèbre dans le monde entier lorsque l’ethnomusicologue et producteur de musique suisse Marcel Cellier, lui-même sous le charme des chansons folkloriques bulgares, a compilé un album d’arrangements devenu un best-seller inattendu. Le Volume II a remporté un Grammy Award et, depuis, le chœur a donné plus de 1 500 concerts à travers le monde et collaboré avec des artistes célèbres tels que Kate Bush et U2. À Bozar, découvrez l’énergie vitale insufflée par les voix magiques de l’ensemble dans les harmonies palpitantes et aux rythmes entraînants de la musique traditionnelle bulgare.

See you there, folks 😉
Deep Conversation - Question Chosen in Session
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.
Grief workshop
Have you recently lost a loved one and struggling with difficult emotions?
Join Vanessa Goodman, clinical psychologist, in this two-part workshop on grief.
**Program**: sharing circle, journaling, guided meditations, rituals and creative art-work.
Fee 45,-

Free In-Person Events: How to Let Go of the Past and Move Forward
The emotional pain from past bad experiences easily lingers in the present, making it hard to enjoy life and create your future. Even when you think you've moved on, the negative emotions can be triggered, sending you back into the pain of that experience.
And we are talking about pain; emotions such as grief, depression, anxiety, fear (or terror), boiling anger, simmering resentment, feelings of shame, blaming and regret can leave you incapacitated to a greater or lesser degree.
In this local event we will be discussing the reasons why these past bad experiences have the power to affect you long after they occurred. We'll go over why the emotional pain can be so strong. We'll also discuss some simple solutions to overcome your emotional pain and be free to fully enjoy your life again.
Examples of painful experiences include:
* A broken relationship or divorce.
* Death or loss of a loved one.
* Death of a pet.
* A sudden shock or bad news.
* A betrayal.
* Being part of an abusive relationship.
* A bad injustice.
* Loss of a job, position or business.
* A grave illness or injury.
The negative emotions from these experiences don't just go away on their own. But the good news is there is a way to clear them out of your way.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.
This group is sponsored the Dianetics & Scientology Self-Improvement Center.

Choose Your Movie: THE SHEEP DETECTIVES vs HOKUM at Cinemark Stoneridge!
Join us as we get together to see your choice of two VERY different movies – one sweet and wholesome – the other a terrifying folklore horror! Option 1 is the fun whodunnit-action-comedy-mystery led by Hugh Jackman, THE SHEEP DETECTIVES! Option 2 is the top-reviewed supernatural-horror-thriller starring Adam Scott, HOKUM! Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
THE SHEEP DETECTIVES: Every night a shepherd reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand. When he is found dead, the sheep realize at once that it was a murder and think they know everything about how to go about solving it. The film is directed by Kyle Balda and take a look at this ensemble cast: Hugh Jackman, Nicholas Braun, Molly Gordon, Hong Chau and Emma Thompson and the voices of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Chris O'Dowd, Regina Hall, Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey, Brett Goldstein and Rhys Darby. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyZI5oM6hWk
HOKUM: In this film, a horror writer visits an Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes, unaware the property is said to be haunted by a witch. It is written/directed by Damian McCarthy stars Adam Scott, Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh and Austin Amelio. Hokum premiered to rave reviews at this year’s SXSW Festival and is being release by Neon. It is earning a stellar 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which calls it, “A classic haunted house story enriched with atmospheric folklore and perfectly-timed shocks!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVCIK_MPyhc
PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing of both films and will meet inside the theater lobby about 20 minutes before showtime. If the showtimes work out, we’ll try to get both groups together for a bite before the shows! Complete details and showtime will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer.
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
