Push Hands

In this workshop, we will explore partnering exercises inspired by Capoeira Angola and weight-sharing practices from contact improvisation. We work with rhythm, balance, and responsiveness to build trust and clear physical dialogue. We'll add a fresh layer to Contact Improvisation practice by bringing in **Capoeira Angola kicks**—not as strikes, but as new ways to enter weight-sharing, redirect momentum, and expand how you communicate through movement. Expect clear tools, playful exchanges, and a few “oh wow that worked” moments. These workshops are open to anyone interested in exploring movement as a way to deepen body awareness, improve mobility and enjoy dancing in connection with others. No prior experience in capoeira or contact improv required. **You don't need to know capoeira or contact improv to join!** Programme: 12:50 – Doors open 13:00 -Part **1** 14:20 – Break and refreshments 14:40 -Part **2** More information: https://fusion-circus.com/events/capoeira-inspired-april/

​A women’s circle is a gathering of women, by women, and for women, to come together in a safe space and supportive environment without judgment. We will share, listen, connect with our ourselves and our sisters. We might laugh, we might cry, we might share, we might just listen, but we come together with deep respect for one another’s journey, experience, and where we are at this moment in time to hold space for one another. To honor the sanctity and safety of the circle, we will create some guidelines for how we'll be together and what values we'll hold in our time together. The women's circle invites you to be in your heart, for whatever may be needed in the moment. This session will take us out into nature and enjoy a walk around the Park Abbery (Abdij van Park). After the walk there will be a possibility to get drinks together. **Meeting Point**: In front of the restaurant (Brasserie) at the Abbey. https://maps.app.goo.gl/8Jo5TfRTXg9YeKui6 What to expect: * 1.5-2 hrs hours of quality time for yourself, in the company of others. * Please arrive between 5 minutes early so we can start on time * We will enjoy a beautiful walk around the Park Abbey. This is an easy walk of about 4 km. What to bring and to know: * Please bring comfortable shoes for walking and check the weather before hand to dress accordingly. * If you have signed up but cannot make it after all, please cancel here on MeetUp, so we know not to expect you and so you can make that place available for another woman who may want to join.

What's up Friends! 👋 



Ready for some bouldering fun? Boulder-what? 🤔 It’s climbing (FR: escalade, le bloc) up to 4.5m high without ropes—and in my case, without much hope! 😂✨ It’s a super fun indoor activity, but be warned: it does require a certain level of physical fitness and/or skill. Most importantly, though, it requires awesome company—which we’ve got! 😎



 The Idea: 📍 Meeting Point: For those arriving at 17:00, we’ll meet at the cafeteria (next to the billiards table). Feel free to start earlier or later—just drop me a message or write in the group chat so we can meet up. 💪 Stay & climb as long as you want - venue closes at midnight! 🥤 Recharge: If you’ve had enough climbing for the day (we usually do this after 2 hours of climbing), we may head back to the cafeteria (or to the rooftop if it's sunny🌤️) for snacks, drinks & games. Cafeteria closes at 22:00. Where: 📍Arkose: (Brussels Canal) Rue Willy de Bruyn Straat 52, 1000 Bruxelles, Belgique 🔗 https://arkose.com/

Fees: 🤑Entry fee without shoes: * 18 eur (first-timers 10€ with online promo activated) * reduced rates: students, minors, job seekers, firefighters, military (proof required) 👟 Shoe Rental: 5€ (if you don’t have your own) 🎫 10-session pass: 135€



 Good to Know: ✍️ First-timers need to create an account (takes 5min) - do it in advance and pay online to pay less and avoid wasting time onsite 💦 Hydration is key! Bring a water bottle. 🔐 Lockers available, but bring your own padlock. 🚿 Changing rooms & showers on-site. 👕 Wear comfy sports clothes—it gets intense! 🧴 Only liquid magnesium is allowed (for grip) - in reality most people use powder🤫 👟 Thinking of going regularly? Bouldering shoes are a great investment! (Decathlon: ~45-65€ per pair.)

⚠️ Safety First! Bouldering is fun, but safety comes first! Stay alert, know your limits, and don’t take unnecessary risks. Enjoy responsibly! 💪 



📢 Further details may be shared via the group chat or via DM 💬. Make sure to check your messages 👀 at least on the day before the event to avoid missing critical 🙄 announcements. 🐈‍⬛ The Friends Code:
👉Respect and positive vibes, if not 💥🥊
👉Can’t make it? Cancel or drop a message in the chat - helps running things smoothly! 👉 Don't show up if you are on the waiting list or show up at your own risk. 



See you at the walls folks😉

🍣 Sushi Connections – Meet Through Shared Experiences, Not Interviews. Welcome to the very first event of our newly integrated Singles Community! Before we launch a full series of dating experiences, we'd like to test interest in a concept that we believe is much more natural, fun, and meaningful than traditional speed dating. ## Why Sushi? Let's be honest... Traditional singles events can feel a little artificial. You sit across from someone, ask the same questions over and over again.. Instead, what if people could meet while doing something together? Making sushi is the perfect activity because it is collaborative, social, fun, and allows participants to naturally rotate and interact with different people throughout the evening. Rather than interviewing each other, you'll be: 🍣 Preparing sushi together 🍣 Working as a team 🍣 Sharing laughs and conversation naturally 🍣 Meeting multiple people throughout the evening 🍣 Enjoying the sushi you helped create Sometimes the best connections happen when you're focused on an experience rather than trying to impress someone. And if you don't meet anyone , you've learned a new skill. ## The Concept The idea is simple: ✨ Welcome drink and introductions ✨ Sushi-making experience with rotating partners ✨ Shared dinner with the group ✨ Optional confidential matching system after the event The goal is to create a relaxed environment where people can get to know each other naturally through a shared activity. ## ⚠️ Important – Interest Check Event At this stage, we are publishing this event primarily to measure interest in the concept. 📍 **The exact venue is still being selected.** 💰 **The final price is not yet confirmed.** 🗓️ **The final event date may be adjusted slightly depending on venue availability.** By joining this event, you are simply expressing your interest in participating once the concept is finalised. If there is enough enthusiasm, we will secure the venue, finalise the details, and open official registrations. ## Who Is This For? ❤️ Singles who prefer meaningful interactions over superficial conversations ❤️ People who enjoy social activities and meeting new people ❤️ Anyone curious to try a different approach to dating If you've ever thought: *"I'd rather meet someone while doing something together than sitting across a table asking questions..."* then this event might be exactly what you're looking for. Join the interest list and help us launch the very first Sunday Vacations Sushi Connections experience! 🍣✨

If you're tired of small talk, tired of discussing hobbies and politics, and if there's something telling you there's more to share and more to observe... Please join us :) For our second event, we’re going to make the most out of this beautiful weather (again) and gather in the heart of the Forêt de Soignes. We’ll meet at the Quatre Bras (Vier Armen) tram stop and walk together towards a bench in the forest (about a 45-minute walk). The walk is part of the experience, a chance to slow down, breathe, and let the forest help us unwind before we begin. Once we arrive, we’ll start the meeting. I’ll share a selection of photos with the group (and you’re very welcome to bring one of your own). The photos are simply there to gently spark memories and stories that may be waiting to be expressed. From there, we’ll move into a session of speaking and active listening, with no interruptions. I’ll explain the structure more clearly once we’re together. For now, here are the main things to keep in mind: ● Please listen to others without interrupting. Let’s create a space that feels kind and respectful. ● Come with an open heart and a willingness to share something you’ve experienced, even if you’re not quite sure what that is yet (that’s what the photos are for). Your story doesn’t have to be deep, this isn’t a storytelling performance. What matters most is that you’re genuine. And if something deep wants to be shared, that’s very welcome too. ● If at any point you feel uncomfortable, you don’t have to speak. There’s no pressure. ● You’re welcome to bring something to drink, but no food please, this helps us keep a calm and attentive atmosphere while others are sharing. ● Please try to be on time, as we won’t be able to wait once we start walking. If you’re running late, just send me a message via Meetup and I’ll share the exact location of the bench so you can join us there. ● This is our first event, so we’re doing our best to keep it organized while still allowing space for spontaneity. Looking forward to sharing this first gathering with you. Hopefully, this will be a time of real human connection! I'll be glad to answer any questions you might have :)
