We will be walking through the forest for a little over 1 1/2 hours, silently, just noticing the world around us and inside us. The idea is to experience the magic of a different type of walking, The invitation is to slow down and notice what is going on inside you and around you. Very often people experience a closer connection with nature and with self, with sometimes surprising insights. *Please make sure you are fit enough to go the 4.5 km distance. We will be walking slowly, but we will not take any breaks.* We will be meeting at the Hermann Debroux Metro at **14h**. (Exit straight ahead after leaving the platform--on the Loxam side). If you RSVP as coming, please be on time. We will be starting our walk from there 5 min. after the hour sharp. There is the renovated Maison de Prieur at the exit of the forest where we could gather for a drink or a meal after our walk, depending on what you feel like. Looking forward to an inward adventure? Come and join us on **Saturday, April 25, at 14h** My phone number is 0472 92 11 76, in case you need to communicate with me.

El año pasado fui a una fiesta "supuestamente" puertorriqueña en Lieja y enseguida me di cuenta de que no la habían organizado puertorriqueños y que no había nada boricua, ¡ni siquiera la música! Como puertorriqueña, decidí hacer algo al respecto y organizar una fiesta en Bruselas con compatriotas puertorriqueñass, con nuestra música, cultura y cócteles y cócteles sin alcohol con inspiración de nuestra isla y nuestros sabores. ¡Únete a nosotros para una noche de baile y cultura puertorriqueña! ¡Ven con tu mejor atuendo caribeño chic, porque tendremos un premio para el mejor outfit! -ENG- **This is a paid event. You can purchase your tickets here: https://meetu.ps/e/PZQzT/FDYTT/i Tickets include a drink and snacks.** Get ready for a unique gathering full of culture, music, and authentic Puerto Rican flavor, created by Puerto Ricans for everyone. Last year, I attended what was advertised as a “Puerto Rican” party in Liège, only to quickly realize it wasn’t organized by Puerto Ricans and there was nothing Puerto Rican about it, not even the music. As a proud Boricua, I decided to change that. Together with fellow Puerto Ricans, we’re bringing an authentic Puerto Rican party to Brussels, featuring our music, our culture, and Puerto Rican inspired cocktails and mocktails. Join us for an evening of dancing, community, and true Boricua vibes. Come dressed in your best Caribbean Chic outfit. We will be awarding a prize for the best look. Please note: The main language of the event will be Spanish, but everyone is welcome regardless of language level. Come enjoy the music, atmosphere, and culture.

[This is a paid event and sign-up via the website is obligatory](https://www.wordcraft-collective.eu/courses/the-unit-and-the-whole%3A-how-to-construct-your-poetry-pamphlet). After running this very successful workshop in autumn 2025 we are running it again for those who might have missed out the first time. In this workshop we will explore how to bring together a group of poems to produce a pamphlet or book. We will explore the notion of the poetry pamphlet versus full collection in terms of the function and purpose of each and how they operate. We will think about structuring a body of work, how to sequence poems and what the organising principles might be. How does the placing of poems together change or enhance the poem? How do we build on and around key themes? We will look at examples of published pamphlets and books to consider how and why authors have brought poems together in the way they have, identifying the choices and opportunities available to poets. Participants are encouraged to bring along their own poems or projects in progress to discuss with others in the group. This workshop is run by poet Paul Stephenson, who has published three poetry pamphlets and one collection.

Come and join this 15+ km hike in the Forest de Soigne. The walk will give us a true (!) forest spring experience 😊 with young leafs, anemone and hyacinths. 💮🪻 Participants can use either bicycle, car or train to get to the assembly point Parking PLEK Restaurant & Coworking, Duboislaan 1, 1560 Hoeilaart. A train will stop at 10:22 at station Groenendaal, from where it takes 15 minutes to the car park. This train stops at many stations in Brussels, i.e. Central 09:52, Schuman 10:06, Bosvoorde 10:18. We will leave at 10:45 from the car park. The circuit allows us to have a nice drink on the terrace before returning to our transport. There's only one train per hour back to Brussels, so either 14:32 or 15:32. During the hike we will stop for a bring-your-own-lunch and there is the promise of passing by some undergrowth beautifully covered by hyacinths. and that is an understatement. 😊 Come along for this talk and walk!

VERY IMPORTANT: Payment MUST be done in advance: [https://japansetuin.hasselt.be/nl/kamishibai-festival](https://japansetuin.hasselt.be/nl/kamishibai-festival) Click “tickets kamishibai” Then change the date in the form to 26/4 \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 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. Stephan The Happy Body

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.

It feels like we just saw each other 🤷. Join members of the local design and UX community for our monthly breakfast. For May we’re stopping in for Rooh’s popup breakfast/cafe concept. You know someone is getting the lobster yuzu croissant, and that’s not even the prettiest thing on the menu!.

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

A WiA Collective Wisdom Exchange At the start of this year, we gathered to look back, set intentions, and imagine the next chapter. This is the follow-up. Not a check-in. Not a progress report. A small, facilitated circle to reconnect with what you said mattered — and honestly explore what’s actually happening now. Together, we’ll explore: • What you intended at the start of this year - and what that looks like three months in • What’s surprised you, supported you, or shifted • What the next chapter needs now that you know what you know If you were at our January gathering, bring whatever you made or wrote — your word, your artifact, your intention. We’ll look at it with fresh eyes. If this is your first time, you belong here too. You’ll start where we all started: with what’s true right now. Optional art materials will be available for anyone who wants to reflect creatively alongside conversation. If you brought something home from January, you’re warmly invited to bring it back. The intention is the same as always: everyone leaves feeling more clear, more connected, and a little lighter. Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate. What to Expect • A small, welcoming circle (not a large meetup) • Structured conversation so everyone has space to speak • Reflection, listening, and lived experience — not advice-giving • Optional creative reflection alongside conversation • A calm, supportive environment Who This Is For Women and underrepresented folks working in or around agile, product, technology, leadership, or organizational change — especially those looking for honest conversation and community beyond frameworks and buzzwords. Good to Know • No preparation required • If you attended in January, we invite you to bring anything you created or wrote (or something that represents your intention at the start of the year) - it’s optional but invited • Participation is invitational; listening is always welcome • Creative activities are optional

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.
