Join me and our small group of yogis for a Monday evening reset at Santosha Yoga Studio (Meiser)! 🧘‍♀️ Every Monday from 20:00–21:00 we move through a gentle flow designed to release tension after a long day, especially if you spend hours sitting at a desk. We begin with an energizing sequence to wake up the body, add a small playful challenge to build strength and confidence, and then slow down into calming stretches and guided relaxation. The class is open to all levels, and you’re invited to move at your own pace and make the practice truly yours. Come as you are and leave feeling lighter, calmer, and ready for whatever the week brings. The class is taught in English.

**Welcome to The Club.** A **curated** social community in Brussels for people who want real connections, memorable experiences, and **better energy than the usual random meetup chaos**. Most of our events happen in **private homes**, gardens, hidden places around Brussels, or unusual locations outside the city. The goal is simple: create the kind of atmosphere where people actually talk, laugh, connect, and want to come back. We organize things like: • gourmet lunches & dinners • picnics & roadtrips • cooking nights • walks around Brussels • karaoke & movie nights • debates & discussions • card and social games • occasional “chaperoned” social evenings where people can meet naturally in a safe environment The difference is that we personally curate and vet new members. The host actively introduces newcomers, helps people integrate into the group, and keeps the atmosphere respectful and relaxed. We have zero tolerance for creepy behavior, unwanted pressure, spam, random uninvited people, or drama. *Unfortunately, posting too many details publicly on Meetup or on the internet in general quickly attracts bots, scammers, fake profiles, crypto weirdos, and people who completely ruin the vibe for everyone else.* That’s why most of our real coordination happens privately through our ***vetted WhatsApp community***. To join, simply scan the QR code in the image. If you are on your phone and cannot scan it directly: • take a screenshot of the image • open the screenshot in your photo gallery • most phones can automatically detect QR codes from photos by long pressing or using Google Lens / iPhone scan feature Then request access to the group and introduce yourself briefly. See you soon

The **prime time** of the event is **10:30 - 12:30**. That's when most people will be there. 2. When you enter the gallery, it's either on the right-hand side or left-hand side of its hallway, depending which entrance you take. 3. If you intend **to join past 12:00** (high noon), then there is no need to register. Just come and join! 4. **DON'T forget to cancel** if you can't join! 5. **Please, be respectful towards each other during the event. (And after ;))** **As always, feel free to follow us on INSTAGRAM!** [https://instagram.com/weekendmorningcoffee?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==](https://instagram.com/weekendmorningcoffee?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==) **THE STRUCTURE of THE EVENT:** * I will post the event on Saturday/Sunday evening for the following Saturday. * I send out a reminder to everyone on Friday. * There is sometimes a waiting list. * In case RSVP is closed (once there are 10-15 people on the waiting list), I might reopen it on Friday, depending on the number of cancellations in the meantime. * **For everyone on the waiting,** please check your status and messages on Friday evening the latest.

It happens very often. * If you have any questions then, message me. *** **A MESSAGE FOR NEWCOMERS:** *In the three years of hosting this coffee group, I have met many people who struggle with anxieties when coming to an event for the first time. Sometimes, it took them more than one attempt before being able to join.* *Occasionally, people reach out to me before the event, and I have always been grateful for that as it offers the opportunity to communicate with each other and to find the best and most gentle way for that person to join the group.* *I would like to encourage everyone who struggles with this to contact me before. It would really be too bad if you can't join us, as it mostly gets better the second or third time you come.* *In addition to that, if you arrive and notice any signs of nervousness or fear, you can always let me know right then.* **THANK YOU AND SEE YOU ALL ON Saturday!**

**Cinema Flagey : Amrum** 23/05 @ 15h00 De twaalfjarige Nanning beleeft het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog op een eiland aan de uiterste rand van het Duitse Rijk. Zijn wereld stort in, terwijl het leven doorgaat. De gefictionaliseerde jeugdherinneringen van Neuer Deutscher Film-meester Hark Bohm – en een belangrijke bron voor zijn latere werk. Amrum, in de lente van 1945. De twaalfjarige Nanning woont met zijn familie op de Duitse Waddeneilanden. Zijn moeder is een fervente nazi-aanhanger; zijn vader een Obersturmbannführer die altijd aan het front is. Het Duitse Rijk van de nazi’s is de enige wereld die Nanning ooit heeft gekend, dus als de Tweede Wereldoorlog bijna voorbij is, stort zijn wereld in. In het laatste shot van de film kijkt een oude man uit over de zee. Hark Bohm, op wiens jeugd Amrum is gebaseerd, overleed op 14 november 2025. Dit is een passend slotakkoord van zijn filmografie, want Bohm begon in de jaren zeventig met het maken van films voor kinderen (Tschetan, derIndianerjunge, 1973) en jongvolwassenen (Nordsee ist Mordsee, IFFR 2026), wat hij altijd is blijven doen. Amrum laat zien welke ervaringen de basis vormden voor zijn kijk op de kindertijd – en het verleden, het heden en de toekomst van Duitsland. – Olaf Möller [Cinema Flagey](https://www.flagey.be/fr/activity/14082-amrum-fatih-akin) [Internationale Film Festival Rotterdam](https://iffr.com/nl/iffr/2026/films/amrum) **For Dreamers, Coffee shots, Orezza, eau de Saint-Georges !**

**🌸 Curated Speed Dating on Zoom for Richmond Locals Host Guided** During the session, you'll work through short one-on-one Zoom rounds with Richmond locals paired by quiz results and age range, with someone hosting live from start to finish. Ahead of joining, you complete a short personality quiz — quiz results from that step to build your personal lineup of Richmond locals, meaning your rounds are curated and not random. When the last round finishes, we send mutual match results — only when the interest is confirmed mutual — and there is no pressure on timing. **Age group links — pick yours below:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Richmond&groupurlname=investing-in-connections-for-long-term&ar=18-32&face_v=5.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Richmond&groupurlname=investing-in-connections-for-long-term&ar=30-46&face_v=5.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Richmond&groupurlname=investing-in-connections-for-long-term&ar=40-58&face_v=5.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Richmond&groupurlname=investing-in-connections-for-long-term&ar=55+&face_v=5.0) **⚠️ Quick note:** This rsvp does not equal a reserved seat, so complete registration via your age bracket link and finish the short personality quiz — places close once the group is full so sign up early, and this is not optional — both steps are required. --- **Perfect for:** - Singles locally in Richmond wanting to escape swiping with nothing to show for it and prefer meeting people in person first. - Members from Richmond who no longer want digital dating that never converts to anything real and want actual face-to-face conversation. - Individuals throughout Richmond who have given up on endless scrolling and zero real dates and value real conversation over curated profiles. - People from around Richmond done with matches that fade out before meeting and need a better way to meet people. **How it unfolds** 1. **Lock in your place** – through the age group link above, then answer the personality questions, because registration and quiz together hold your seat. 2. **Click into Zoom** – at the scheduled time using your Zoom link, phone computer or tablet — whatever you prefer, and a host is live and will walk you through everything. 3. **Enjoy the rounds** – private video rounds with personality-matched Richmond locals in your group, as the host keeps everything smooth and well-timed, as each round is with a Richmond local matched to your profile. 4. **Receive your matches** – once it wraps we notify both sides of any mutual selection, with contact info only shared when both of you said yes, and once you have it you decide how and when to connect. ⭐ *"The format is brilliant — the whole thing was well-run and fun"* – Richmond local who came back twice 💡 **Good to know:** prepare one or two opening questions, which means you can focus entirely on the conversation, and a few minutes of prep makes a big difference to the whole evening. --- ✨ Richmond singles worth meeting are in this event — click your age bracket and sign up and you just show up on the night and we will get you all set up. The evening starts the moment you register. 🌸 ✨

**History** The history of [Blendon Woods Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/blendon-woods/) began long before its 1951 opening, rooted in a landscape of rugged ridges and deep ravines that made the land unsuitable for traditional farming. In 1945, a report proposing a metropolitan park system for Franklin County specifically highlighted these cliffs of Bedford Shale as some of the "wildest land in the vicinity". Following this recommendation, the recently formed park district purchased the first 229 acres in early 1949. Because the terrain was so uneven, developers had to cut a mile-and-a-half-long roadway through dense woods just to bring in heavy equipment. This initial preservation effort ensured that the mature second-growth hardwood forests remained largely untouched by the urban expansion spreading toward Westerville. Opening day arrived on Labor Day, September 3, 1951, marking Blendon Woods as the second park in the Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks system. The final push to open was a frantic race; the State Highway Department only finished the primary gravel access road four days before the gates opened. Early staff members, consisting of just four full-time employees, had to hand-dig pit toilets and learn construction skills on the fly to build the first picnic shelters. Despite the dusty conditions and limited facilities, the park was an immediate success, drawing massive crowds from across Central Ohio. By the end of the 1950s, annual visitation had already climbed to over 190,000 people. As the surrounding suburbs grew in the 1960s, the park faced severe overcrowding that threatened its natural habitats. In response, Franklin County voters passed the first Metro Parks levy in 1960, providing the funds necessary for a decade of steady expansion. During this era, the park nearly doubled in size, growing from 264 acres to over 570 acres by 1968. Planners also addressed a critical water shortage by collaborating with the U.S. Soil and Conservation Service to build a lake in 1964. This body of water originally served as a temporary reservoir before its role shifted toward conservation and wildlife support. The 1970s marked a transition toward the specialized wildlife and educational focus for which the park is known today. In 1971, the Walden Waterfowl Refuge was established around the 11-acre Thoreau Lake, creating a sanctuary that remains restricted to provide a quiet habitat for migratory birds. A formal nature center was also developed during this period, expanding on the guided Sunday walks that had been a park staple since the early 1950s. The park’s famous "Monarch Mansion" also became a prominent fixture, starting a long tradition of raising and releasing thousands of monarch butterflies each September. These initiatives cemented the park’s reputation as a premier destination for birders and nature enthusiasts. In more recent decades, Blendon Woods has continued to modernize while maintaining its wilderness character. The 10-acre Natural Play Area was added in 2017, encouraging kids to explore the ravines and woods off-trail. This was followed by the opening of a $1.5 million inclusive playground in April 2025, designed to accommodate children of all physical abilities. The nature center also underwent major renovations to include immersive, three-dimensional exhibits and a new butterfly house. Today, the park encompasses 653 acres, preserving a unique geologic and biological corridor amidst the bustling Westerville and Northeast Columbus area. **Map of the Park** Here is a map of [Blendon Woods](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/BLN_map_Inclusive-Playground-and-Butterfly-Trail_May-2025_1980px.png). **Summary** For this event, we will hike the Lake View, Hickory Ridge, Ripple Rock, Overlook, Brookside, and Sugarbush Trails. This sounds like a lot, but it will really be only a little over five miles. Blendon Woods has a few hills here and there, but it's not one of the more strenuous metro parks. **Where We'll Meet** We'll meet just in front of the Nature Center. This is about a mile into the park from the main entrance. You have to go past the Ranger Station and the Shadblow Reservable Area to get to it, so don't stop too early at the Ranger Station and get it confused with the Nature Center. **After the Hike** Afterward, we will head over to [Forbidden Root Restaurant & Brewery](https://forbiddenroot.com/restaurants/columbus-ohio/) at Easton for [drinks](https://forbiddenroot.com/restaurants/columbus-ohio/#dinner-menu) and [food](https://forbiddenroot.com/wp-content/uploads/Cbus-Food.pdf). We should be there by 5 if you can't make the hike and just want to join us for drinks. The brewery's actual address is [4080 Worth Ave, Columbus, OH 43219](https://www.google.com/maps/place/4080+Worth+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43219/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x88388a86d10b6619:0x4d42b470a5cf11d3?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111); however, I recommend pointing your GPS to the [Worth Garage](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Worth+Garage/@40.0542293,-82.9137962,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88388b4df6082825:0x17582f0eccd9dda1!8m2!3d40.0542293!4d-82.9137962!16s%2Fg%2F11rzfvvv8b?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDQxNS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) across the street. Parking in this garage is free as long as you're not on the first floor, and it is literally right next to the brewery.

**💗 Live Video Speed Dating for Richmond Locals Live — Personality First** The format means you'll be guided through guided one-on-one video rounds with age-matched personality-sorted Richmond locals, while a host ensures nothing feels forced. When you sign up, a personality questionnaire is built into the sign-up — the results from that questionnaire to pair you intelligently with Richmond locals, making every round feel more natural from the first minute. Post-event, match notifications go to both parties — with nothing shared unless both parties agreed — and there is no pressure on timing. **Your age group is your key — pick it below:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Richmond&groupurlname=bloom-with-genuine-peers-through-events&ar=18-32&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Richmond&groupurlname=bloom-with-genuine-peers-through-events&ar=30-46&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Richmond&groupurlname=bloom-with-genuine-peers-through-events&ar=40-58&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Richmond&groupurlname=bloom-with-genuine-peers-through-events&ar=55+&face_v=3.0) **⚠️ RSVP is not enough:** An rsvp here alone does not secure your place, so select your bracket link, complete the registration form, and finish the personality quiz — capacity is restricted so act soon, and that combination is your actual confirmation. --- **About the Event** - **Format:** Real-time on a dedicated Zoom session with short one-on-one video rounds, compatibility-matched within your age range. - **Host:** A seasoned host guides every round from start to finish, giving you the space to just enjoy the conversation — from start to finish your only job is to have good conversations. - **Vibe:** Casual Zoom date rounds with genuine Richmond singles, and it never feels forced or awkward. - **Duration:** Around an hour to 90 minutes from first round to last, and the pacing keeps it fresh throughout. **This is for you if:** - Women and men living in Richmond bored of app fatigue and empty match queues and prefer structure over ambiguity. - Residents within Richmond who have given up on the app treadmill that goes in circles and want to meet real locals without the faff. - Returners in Richmond leaving behind profiles instead of real people and prefer meeting people in person first. - Residents around Richmond moving beyond digital dating that never converts to anything real and are ready for a genuine first impression. - People from the Richmond area looking beyond apps that waste evenings for no return and want to talk to real people tonight. **What to expect** 1. **Lock in your place** – through your age range link above, then fill in the personality matching questionnaire, since your spot is held only once this is done. 2. **Get online** – at the event start time via your Zoom link, works on any modern device with a camera, and everything from that point is handled by the host. 3. **Chat** – quick private video rounds with personality-matched Richmond locals in your group, while the host runs the clock so you can focus on the conversation, knowing the matching already happened before you got on Zoom. 4. **Get your match notifications** – after the night mutual match results are sent to both parties, as your data only goes to someone who matched you back, and you follow up at your own speed from there. ⭐ *"The format is brilliant — real conversations with real people"* – anonymous Richmond attendee 💡 **Before the event:** connect via wired internet if that is an option, which means you can focus entirely on the conversation, since it only takes five minutes and makes everything smoother. --- ✨ Meet Richmond people tonight from home — grab your spot above and we will have you matched and ready for this session.

Real connection starts here. 🎯 ✨
