Intervals Workout Session đđ»ââïžđđŒââïžđđ» Bois de la Cambre
We do cycles of 4-6 weeks, with a progressive intensity, and the last session is lighter.
Program:
15â warm up
**To be defined**
Cool down to get back to the starting point⊠or more
S=All out sprint
RF = Run fast, at MAS (Maximum aerobic speed)
CF = Run comfortably fast (1h threshold)
J = Jog, recuperation
Notes:
It should take about one hour in total, as the cool down will end when we reach back to the meeting point.
It's NOT required to have an activity tracker or smart watch to be able to follow the program, as I'll be giving signals with a whistle.
For the "run" part, you can follow your own pace and we'll be regrouping in the "jog" part.
Intervals training is not advised for total beginners. To have an idea, the average pace at the warm up is around 5'45"/km-6'/km so this pace should feel very comfortable

MIRACLE CHOICE â A GAME THAT OPENS DOORS
Hello everyone,
Iâm hosting a ACIM ("A Course in Miracles") board game and dinner afternoon-evening at my home on **March Sunday 8th from 16h \~ 21h**.
This will be **"auberge espagnole"**, so bring a dish that you'd enjoy sharing with the group. : )
Here is a little bit about the game :
**MIRACLE CHOICE â A GAME THAT OPENS DOORS**
*Do you ever feel stuck, unsure, or unable to move forward with clarity? Miracle Choice invites you to explore those moments through play â and discover the inner choices that shape your life.*
*Inspired by A Course in Miracles, Miracle Choice is an experience that allows you to discover your inner choice in any moment. Playing brings individual insights, group celebrations, and feedback on your playing intention. Above all, you will have an experience of choosing Love over fear, deepening your awareness of who you truly are.* đ
*The board game is played with a Facilitator whose presence reminds you to listen deeply to your own inner wisdom. This support creates a safe space for insights and often surprising, life-changing transformation.*
*The original game launched in 2014 and takes you on a journey to discover your inner choices. Its purpose is simple: âChoose love rather than fear and feel joy rather than pain.â*
*Each session begins with a short meditation so you can connect with your inner Guide or Teacher, followed by choosing a game intention so that the insights you receive are specific and relevant to your situation.*
*Address: La Hulpe 1310 (given to the participants)*
Please let me know if you would like to come.
Dean, an experienced learner and facilitator of « A Course In Miracles », will join us !!!
We both look forward to playing this game with you and meeting in person. : )
Warmly,
Ana & Dean
\*If you are interested but cannot make it this time, we might organize other sessions, so let us know.
***
Hi there curious people :)
Several of you have requested additional information about the game. Here it is:
The original game, launched in 2014, takes you on a journey to discover your inner choices. The purpose of playing is: âChoose LOVE rather than fear and feel JOY rather than pain.âIt begins with a brief meditation to connect with your inner Guide or Teacher. Afterwards, you choose a game intention so that the insights received are specific and relevant to your questions.
Play is fun and dynamic. As a player, you can land on six different spaces: Needs, Body, Relationship, Identity, Choice and Miracles before you get to the Real World in the centre of the board. Cards are selected in every round. Most messages have been specially created for the game, and others are short quotes from ACIM (A Course in Miracles). The card insights are shared with the group and can relate directly or indirectly to the game intentions of all players.
Your takeaway:
\- Feeling emotionally lighter and mentally enlightened in relation to your intention/question\.
\- Feeling joyful after a nice moment of sharing with a small group of new people :\)
Looking forward to playing with you!

**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.*

Cogniflux Open Lab - cognitive workout
âDo you want to improve your mental stamina, focus and creativity?
Cognfilux Lab offers the opportunity of experiencing a cognitive workout based on neuropsychology principles and peer-review research in a challenging and enjoyable training circuit format.
Feeling overloaded at work or beyond is often times a reflection of saturation of the brain's core control system. The good news is that a correct exercise routine can amplify and strengthen our cognitive capacity resulting in better focus and increased mental bandwith.
During a Cogniflux Open Lab, participants perform optimally-designed cognitive training exercises rotating through different stations featuring a sensor system that captures reaction times and decisions. This allows to train at a tailored difficulty level that is based on individual performances.
âThe workout lasts one hour and includes physical activity in a social setting.
âThe next session will take place on Saturday 7th from 16h00 to 17h00 at the Lokahi Holistic Studio in Place du Chatelain 23.
Admission to the event requires registration.
Spots are limited. To book your spot [click here](https://luma.com/oh4rre34).

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives**
Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday.
Since then: Googleâs Universal Analytics has been sunset, weâve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book âGoogle Analytics Alternativesâ.
Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GAâs market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You wonât find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of whatâs currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process.
Weâll also be giving out some free copies of Jasonâs book! So even if youâve got a âGA4Lyfeâ tattoo (no judgement), thereâs free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
