Picnic & Games đłđ§șđž đČ (TBCđ€ïž)
What's up Friends! đ
If the weather gods feel generous đ€ïž, weâre going full park mode: picnic đ§șđł, games, laughs⊠and a touch of chaos âš
âŒïžIf not - we'll switch to the usual indoor format at Le Pantin or CafĂ© Leopold PDN.
đWhere
Park Cinquantenaire, Tour de Tournai đ° (that little castle-looking thingy in the park).
Canât find us? đ€·ââïž Just ping me here.
đĄ The Idea
Chill picnic: bring your own drinks đ§, snacks đ„Șđ, blanket, and games đČđž (sharing always appreciated đ).
Weâll break into small groups depending on the vibe: games, chats, sports.
â±ïž Timing
We kick off at 14:00. Stay as long as you like.
Joining later? Just drop a message in the chat in case we decide to move đ.
đČđž Games
All games are welcome in the park - boards, cards, balls, random stuff! Iâll have a few with me, but feel free to add your own favorites too.
đŠOn the waitlist but really want to join? Or got any questions? Just DM me.
đą Extra info might drop in the group chat or via DM đŹ. Check your messages đ the day before so you don't miss anything critical đ.
đâ⏠The Friends Code:
đ Games we play = group decision
đ Smaller groups = cozier vibes
đ Got a favorite game? Suggest it or show up with it
đ Can't make it? Cancel on time so someone on the waitlist can grab your spot
đ If youâre on the waitlist, showing up is at your own risk đ
See you there, folks đ

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
âą In Brussels:
Av Louise, 505 1000 Brussels

UNE SEULE FOIS PAR AN â le moment spirituel le plus puissant !
Câest une occasion unique dâĂ©voluer, de recevoir des bĂ©nĂ©dictions et dâaider lâhumanitĂ© !
Quoi :
Le Festival de Wesak est une formidable opportunitĂ© de fonctionner dans lâunitĂ© et dâĂ©lever la conscience de toute la Terre.
Pourquoi :
Ă diffĂ©rents moments de la Pleine Lune lorsque le soleil est en Taureau, le Seigneur Bouddha est nĂ©, a atteint lâillumination et a quittĂ© 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 dâapporter son Ă©nergie et de nous aider Ă nous Ă©veiller. Cela en fait un moment unique pour se rassembler et devenir des canaux de lumiĂšre et dâamour.
Comment :
Lorsque nous mĂ©ditons, surtout en groupe, le niveau dâĂ©nergie est bien plus Ă©levĂ©. Cela permet de faire descendre davantage dâĂ©nergie, nĂ©cessaire pour ancrer la lumiĂšre, lâamour et la puissance sur Terre. Souvenons-nous : "ne nous contentons pas de parler de faire le bien, mais agissons rĂ©ellement dans le bien".

Dinant loop (25 km)
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 canât (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. Iâve not tested this track beforehand, so itâs possible that there are some mistakes in the planning (i.e. it may become longer ;-).
ââYou 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
ââMeeting 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.
ââ Train ticket:
One way ticket is 11.40⏠or 6.80⏠with train+
ââ 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.
ââ 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.
ââ 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
ââ 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 âgoingâ list.
ââ 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.

Cinematek : Eat Drink Man Woman
**Cinematek : Eat Drink Man Woman**
03/05 @ 16h30
Ang Leeâs 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 Leeâs 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 â and the narratives they construct about themselves. By the end, no one is exactly who we thought they were at the beginning. Itâs 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-Jenâs best friend Jin-Rong. Warning: plan for a late meal. Leeâs masterful montages of Chu and Jia-Chien cooking are as mouthwatering and hunger-inducing as the noodles in JĂ»zĂŽ Itamiâs Tampopo.

**For Dreamers, Coffee shots, Orezza, eau de Saint-Georges !**
Italian Gourmet Picnic Edition đźđčâïžđ·
**UPDATE**
Hello, change of plan for Saturday. This week i am a bit busy and unable to cook in advance so Sunday we pivot to Bring and Share, bring food or drinks you like to share with others(home made food is always a winner and please bring a cup, a plate fork and knife etc ect for yourself, this event is freestyle) , To join please go this is the chat for this event in order not to spam the main Chat here. https://chat.whatsapp.com/BGDqWPKn0D9CZZZdAQR21p
We will also play games like Uno, Undercover, Werewolf, Assasins
Important:
Spots are limited.
Maximum 15 people.
We keep our events intentionally curated.
Like many social groups, **some meetups** end up attracting pushy behavior, **unwanted flirting**, fake intentions, and people who mistake a community event for a **dating ground**. **We have no interest in that circus.**
Our goal is simple: **a** **safe, relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere where people can actually connect, eat, laugh, and feel comfortable.**
That is why:
âą We vet participants before confirming attendance
âą Exact location is shared **privately only** with approved guests
âą We prefer genuine people over large random numbers
âą Respectful **behavior** is mandatory
âą Unwanted flirting, creepy conduct, pressure, or harassment means immediate exclusion
So, if you are a women **you do not need to sign up on Meetup**.
Instead, **send us a private message first** with a short introduction.
And alert us if you have been targeted by any of the many creeps who infest other meetups were sometimes even the admins are creeps.
It keeps the group better, safer, and far more enjoyable for everyone.
My girlfriend and I know very well that many meetups are flooded with creeps. **We built something different on purpose.**
**Again: If youâd like to join, privately reply to me with a message to me reserve your spot.**

**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!**
Football match at Parc du Cinquantenaire
If you have a ball, please bring it...
Let's gather at the Parc du Cinquantenaire close to the Tour de Tournai (https://goo.gl/maps/RsxFtTJydq92) and organize a *low-level* football match on the grass. Unless it rains badly as we're about to play, the game is on.
Players of any age, weight, sex and size are allowed. Come as you are, at any time after 4pm.
IMPORTANT REMINDER -- As Shitty Players, we don't bite or growl when someone misses the ball. We don't do penalties or yellow cards because we're so gentle we don't need them. We vaguely know of the existence of other rules like off-side but we'd rather ignore them than argue about them. We may or may not keep track of the score: this is a game where everyone wins.
To help build the Team, come with 2 t-shirts white and black (or similar colors: light grey and dark blue etc). Beer session will follow on the grass, for those who survive till the end.

The Language CafĂ© đ (ES) âïžđ¶ïž
¥Ey, qué tal!
ÂżCrees que podrĂas sobrevivir solo con tu español? Vamos a ponerlo a prueba con un cafecitoâïž (o con lo que te dĂ© la gana en el momento, ya sea una bebida o un snack )
DĂłnde:
Leopold PDN. Este cafĂ© puede ser algo difĂcil de encontrar, especialmente cuando llueve ïžâïž, pero asĂ empieza la aventura, Âżno? No esperes hasta estar completamente perdidoâmĂĄndame un mensaje antes de empezar a maldecir Google Maps ïž.
âŒïžïžSi el clima se porta, picnic en el parque (Cinquantenaire), obvio đłđ§ș
La idea:
Pides algo (ÂĄobligatorio! âïž) y te unes a la mesa. Empezamos con una mini intro y luego hablamos de todo: actividades, viajes, mĂșsica⊠Y si tienes ganas, ÂĄjugamos a algo! Todo en español, asĂ que ÂĄprepĂĄrate para la inmersiĂłn! Dependiendo de cuĂĄntos seamos, podemos dividirnos por niveles para que todos disfruten al mĂĄximo.
Juegos:
Nada de tableros gigantes que acaben tirando los cafĂ©s por toda la mesa. Solo juegos rĂĄpidos y divertidos (tipo UNO o Exploding Kittens ). Yo llevarĂ© unos, pero si tienes alguno que te guste, trĂĄelo sin miedo. Eso sĂ, los juegos con texto, ÂĄen español!
â± Horarios:
Empezamos a las 15:00, pero si llegas mĂĄs tarde, no pasa nada, te unes cuando quieras y te quedas el rato que quieras.
ÂżVas a llegar despuĂ©s de las 15:30? DĂmelo en el chat para guardarte un lugar.
Lista de espera
Si estĂĄs en la lista de espera pero realmente quieres venir, o si tienes cualquier duda, mĂĄndame un mensaje directo...
MĂĄs info se puede compartir en el chat o por DM âasegĂșrate de revisar tus mensajes el dĂa antes para no perderte nada crĂtico .
âđâ⏠El CĂłdigo de los Amigos:
Nada de formalidades â aquĂ venimos a divertirnos
Respeto y buena onda â si no,
ÂĄÂżLos errores?! ÂĄNos dan igual! Y si nos cuesta, cambiamos al inglĂ©s o mejor: đ
ÂżNo puedes venir? Cancela para que alguien en la lista de espera pueda tomar tu lugar
Si estĂĄs en la lista de espera, no te presentes sin confirmaciĂłn.
ÂĄHasta luego!

Tropical Night! + Freestyle
It's "***Tropical Night!***" Dig out your old *Hawaiian Shirts* and *Grass Skirts* as wecgather to drink wine this Friday. Hilliard Wine Club will sip the evening away while sporting the fashions of tourists throughout the Tropics. Glasses are provided. Bring a snack to share. Bring a bottle to share (no formal wine tasting this week). See all the details below for this Hilliard Wine Club Wine event. In Person. In Real Life. Actual Wine from glass bottles with corks and everything.
**Wine**: It's Freestyle night, that means bring a bottle of wine to share. Door charge is $10 (cash or Venmo only please).
**Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby.
**Glasses**: âŠwill be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass!
**Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing.
**Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, itâs still worth mentioning. We donât have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please donât mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions.
**After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still havenât had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee.
Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends.
Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***,
**Red 1 Realty**
