Sci-Fi/Fantasy

As the other days of the long weekend look somewhat rainy, here another suggestion for the sunny Friday - a hike starting and ending in the picturesque town of Dinant. We will get a warm-up climb out of town along the quarry of Leffe, until the path levels out and takes us on a big loop on top of the plateau, with mostly open landscape, fields, meadows and apparently even some wineyards. Expect wide views, some small forests and a few pretty villages along the way. Finally we will steeply descend back into Dinant, where we can find treats for all tastes before heading home. The number of participants is limited to 20, so please manage your registration responsibly: only sign up if you really intend to come and cancel as soon as you know you can’t (this also goes for people on the waiting list!). We will try to keep close to an average moving speed of 5km/h. We will walk both on paved and unpaved roads. I’ve not tested this track beforehand, so it’s possible that there are some mistakes in the planning (i.e. it may become longer ;-). ●●You can find the gpx track here: **Komoot:** https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/2797070348?share_token=ampZcY2zXOi42SDm4snE9c1mxHKcu56TO4PNySvYJnl00cHCmq&ref=wtd **Wikiloc:** https://www.wikiloc.com/hiking-trails/dinant-loop-261693472 ●●Meeting point: We meet at 9.10 in Bruxelles Schuman train station in front of the ticket machines. Our train (IC 2509 to Dinant) leaves from platform 2 at 09.23. We'll arrive in Dinant at 10.49. ●● Train ticket: One way ticket is 11.40€ or 6.80€ with train+ ●● Trains back to Brussels: Direct trains from Dinant to BXL are every hour at XX.13, with an additional connection at XX.38 with change in Namur every two hours. ●● Specifics: Distance: ± 25 km Elevation gain: 420 m Net walking time: ± 5.5 h Weather forecast: sunny and warm. In the unlikely case of too bad weather, I may cancel a hike, even few hours before the event. If this must happen, I will of course update the Meetup website and send out an email to those registered. So it is important to have access to either the Meetup website and/or your emails. ●● What to bring: * Comfortable hiking clothes * Comfortable hiking shoes * water + food for the breaks * tick/mosquito repellent * Compeed for blisters * some small money for the drinks ●● Basic rules: Please RSVP only if you really intend to come. And if your plans change, update your RSVP asap, even hours before the walk. This is basic courtesy towards others. Repeated late cancellations are not well considered (at all). No-shows are even worse. Do not show up for a hike unless you are on the “going” list. ●● Acknowledgement of member responsibility and release of liability: You are responsible for yourself and should be fit enough if you want to take part. As the participation in the events is strictly voluntary and you freely choose to join, it is the responsibility of individuals participating to ensure that they are fit enough and have adequate coverage to protect themselves. By signing up for this event, you agree to release the organisers from any responsibility and liability.

ONLY ONCE A YEAR - the most powerful spiritual moment! This is a unique opportunity to evolve, to be blessed, to help humanity! **What**: The Wesak Festival can be a great opportunity to function as a unity and elevate the entire Earth's consciousness. **Why**: On different peaks of the Full Moon when the sun is in Taurus, Lord Buddha was born, achieved illumination and left the body. His energy comes back once a year, at the peak of the Full Moon when the sun is in Taurus, to bring energy and help enlighten us. This makes it a unique moment to gather and become channels of light and love. **How**: When we meditate, especially in a group, there's a much higher energy level. This brings down much more energy, which is needed to anchor light, love, and power on Earth. Remember: "let's not only talk about doing something good, but actually act in goodness." **Where/when**: 1st of May 15:00 • In Brussels: Av Louise, 505 1000 Brussels • Online, on Zoom Get the full details by registering yourself [on this link](https://email.hello.soulglow.support/c/eJx0k0uT6ioUhX9NMjsWwTzMgEE_jLmetm3ttqNOUiRsExQCAXz--lt6enKrzp3Crr3W-ljUJWfkq9fHWLNLhIMllvl0jZOLzwjGMQqxz5SkvCMtCKEGVh1FI9R5YI9aK-N-bkt17sDYluvSXTUQ2kBXXx-nzAcSJEmcjtIEBT5IykUpwVrawF284pOF-uD9eH7l8-yyFnEU_Uw9VinXgvGhO3GjOgmdI9oodqwdV53fEoYhGqG4StIwxFWcxjQCPAzZKKRpQofM5wSjR5AQoSBCwSBNKUriXVyxKt5FwLwQ_U82bkvbUgOs_Em5M0qWlDED1pYGdrR2ygAjzhzBF6R1Tltv-OThzMMZ1XwggLJadR3cB9t-UCvp4ezMWQPOw1ml1IF3jYezaDEaTYPDW7U20w3XeL7eIl_U5R8QvHNgOirICmeWTb4P68DD2e9k9TpevDUSpf0kmd94s5SfzQavvteTPL9Vcmsv12KLntEY2Gb7NPvsh5WHs0Mc786h7M_z8bpPhQ7Dl0_eFx5-np365vB7K4vzSXk4-2BFvn0R9fZW3KZLHXCzk702q-K95jBbibvx7245PKULeBcqOEUvqwu7W3uPItRvxl_OfGT3vV-1q-bsY9oWmr8955NlECCxCWbGdu1tlJi6GuXVm943rxXYfZ7H15nsDRJ71NKCbf4JveGrL9Sjrek055f4tan3T_RcFcvhIv_0JbhWMUI197VRJ87AkP_A9w3ZHwWnHa3N8eaFqLmTvT-Ib9XR1EAeqH9xe_p1VuYAxnfkrvhXOUdqJcu__htHwJV_Snsi-N8AAAD__zxHKac). Invite your friends to join! With gratitude and kindness, Juliana ‐‐-------------------------------------------- UNE SEULE FOIS PAR AN — le moment spirituel le plus puissant ! C’est une occasion unique d’évoluer, de recevoir des bénédictions et d’aider l’humanité ! Quoi : Le Festival de Wesak est une formidable opportunité de fonctionner dans l’unité et d’élever la conscience de toute la Terre. Pourquoi : À différents moments de la Pleine Lune lorsque le soleil est en Taureau, le Seigneur Bouddha est né, a atteint l’illumination et a quitté son corps. Il a promis de revenir une fois par an, au moment culminant de la Pleine Lune lorsque le soleil est en Taureau, afin d’apporter son énergie et de nous aider à nous éveiller. Cela en fait un moment unique pour se rassembler et devenir des canaux de lumière et d’amour. Comment : Lorsque nous méditons, surtout en groupe, le niveau d’énergie est bien plus élevé. Cela permet de faire descendre davantage d’énergie, nécessaire pour ancrer la lumière, l’amour et la puissance sur Terre. Souvenons-nous : "ne nous contentons pas de parler de faire le bien, mais agissons réellement dans le bien".

1st May is a holiday ! So why not having a full afternoon of gaming there on that day ? If you feel likewise, then join this event! Unlike most of our events, this is a more improvised one : some attendees bring their games, and we decide on the spot what we'll play. You may also post your ideas of what you want to bring/play in the comments, to gauge interest among the participants. Outpost opens at 11:30, so you may come from that time, but you can also come a bit later if you wish. Because it's Friday, we'll need to vacate the place towards 6 or 7 PM. **Please RSVP to this event if you wish to come**. Do not come without having done so. It makes it easier to plan that way. Although you can arrive at any time, **please post your estimated time of arrival in the comments**. It will make it easier to organise the tables that way. **Don't forget to unsubscribe from the event if you aren't able to come.** Someone else might take your place in that case. Don't block it if you don't come.

**Please update your attendance if you can not join as this game as we need to know the exact number of players.** We will most likely play the following script: **Script:** [A Grim Chorus ](https://www.botcscripts.com/script/2974/1.6.1)

This event aims to gather science fiction enthusiasts to come discuss about the series they have picked to read in the following list: Children of Time, Tchaikovsky Pandora series, Peter Hamilton The Hyperion Cantos, Dan Simmons A memory called empire, Arkady Martine Terra Ignota, Ada Palmer Ideally we could meet in a park if the weather is already pleasant, otherwise we will find a cafe with a calm area where we can discuss around a drink/breakfast.

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.

**Cinematek : Eat Drink Man Woman** 03/05 @ 16h30 Ang Lee’s generous, touching Eat Drink Man Woman focuses on master chef Chu and his three daughters (all of them living at home) as they confront seismic changes in their lives. The film is the third instalment in Ang Lee’s family trilogy, known unofficially (and ironically) as the Father Knows Best series, largely because venerable actor Sihung Lung (whom Lee lured out of retirement) played a father in each film. Constructed around a series of all-in family dinners, where each of the characters eventually (very reluctantly) drops a bombshell announcement, Eat Drink hinges on the tension between modernity and tradition, family and personal freedom, and, especially, the necessity of confiding and sharing. With the profound empathy that typifies his best work, Lee drops us into the drama without much explanation and carefully disrupts our assumptions about the characters ― and the narratives they construct about themselves. By the end, no one is exactly who we thought they were at the beginning. It’s driven by a formidable cast, including Yang Kuei-Mei as Jia-Jen, the eldest daughter and a devout Christian; Wu Chien-Lien as airline executive Jia-Chien (who has the most problematic relationship with her father); Yu-Wen Wang as the youngest daughter Jia-Ning; and legendary actor director Sylvia Chan as Jia-Jen’s best friend Jin-Rong. Warning: plan for a late meal. Lee’s masterful montages of Chu and Jia-Chien cooking are as mouthwatering and hunger-inducing as the noodles in Jûzô Itami’s Tampopo.

Join us for Mercy of the Gods by James S. A. Corey. How humanity came to the planet called Anjiin is lost in the fog of history, but that history is about to end. The Carryx - part empire, part hive - have waged wars of conquest for centuries, destroying or enslaving species across the galaxy. Now, they are facing a great and deathless enemy. The key to their survival may rest with the humans of Anjiin. Caught up in academic intrigue and affairs of the heart, Dafyd Alkhor is pleased just to be an assistant to a brilliant scientist and his celebrated research team. Then the Carryx ships descend, decimating the human population and taking the best and brightest of Anjiin society away to serve on the Carryx homeworld, and Dafyd is swept along with them. They are dropped in the middle of a struggle they barely understand, set in a competition against the other captive species with extinction as the price of failure. Only Dafyd and a handful of his companions see past the Darwinian contest to the deeper game that they must play to learning to understand - and manipulate - the Carryx themselves. With a noble but suicidal human rebellion on one hand and strange and murderous enemies on the other, the team pays a terrible price to become the trusted servants of their new rulers. Dafyd Alkhor is a simple man swept up in events that are beyond his control and more vast than his imagination. He will become the champion of humanity and its betrayer, the most hated man in history and the guardian of his people. This is where his story begins.

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
