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

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".
Où / quand :
1er mai 15h00

Day-off session: Multiple games
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.
Blood on the clock tower (Intermediate) @ Sofitel Place Jourdan
**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:

Inner Community Belgium Open Meet-Up, come as you are.
Inner Community Belgium – Meet Up 🇧🇪
There’s a place many people live in…
Where everything is fine on the surface, and still there is a natural wish to go deeper.
Not because something is wrong.
Not because something is missing.
But because there’s a natural call for a deeper connection with yourself.
Sometimes what’s needed isn’t more effort — but a simple space to slow down and meet yourself more fully, while also meeting others in a real way.
We’re opening a small meet-up to reconnect and meet each other.
A space to come, sit, and be — as you are.
We begin by arriving slowly, and settling into the moment.
From there, the space opens into conversation, listening, and simply sharing.
You’re also welcome to order food and drinks from the delicious menu of the venue during the gathering.

If something in you resonates… you’re welcome to join🌱
Sketch & Chill 🎨🌿 (TBC🌤️)
What’s up Friends! 👋
If the weather behaves, we’re going for a chill drawing meetup: good vibes, new people, sketching side by side ✨
📍 Where
We meet at Park Cinquantenaire, in front of the "Tour de Tournai" 🏰 (the tiny castle-looking thingy).
From there, we’ll pick a spot that feels right - usually somewhere outdoors 🌿
Can’t find us? 🤷🏻 Ping me here.
💡 The Idea
Simple: we sit, we draw, we chat. No teacher, no pressure. Just people sketching next to each other and sharing tips if it happens naturally.
Bring whatever you like: notebook + pen ✏️ or full watercolor chaos 🎨💦
All styles, all levels welcome.
Don't forget to dress for the weather (we’re usually outside) and bring something to sit on - blanket, mat, foldable chair… whatever keeps you comfy.
⏱️ Timing
We start at 14:00. Stay as long as you like.
Joining later? Drop a message in the chat in case we’ve moved 😊
Once the sketches are done (or we need a break), we might grab a drink if we feel like it.
💸 Price
Free. Just show up and draw.
🚦 On the waitlist but really want to join? Or got questions? DM me.
📢 Extra info might drop in the group chat or via DM 💬 Check your messages the day before so you don’t miss anything important 👀
🐈⬛ The Friends Code:
👉 Draw what you want, how you want - no judgement
👉 Sharing tips = welcome, not expected
👉 Small groups = chill vibes
👉 Got cool materials? Bring them, flex them
👉 Keep your valuables close — it’s easy to get carried away
👉 Can’t make it? Cancel in time so someone else can join
👉 Don't show up if you are on the waitlist
See you there 😉

Cinematek : Eat Drink Man Woman
**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.

**A MESSAGE FOR NEWCOMERS:**
*In the first 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!**

**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!**

Columbus Arduino Raspberry Pi Enthusiasts (CARPE) (Check Location)
Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration!
This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired.
**New to electronics or curious about tinkering?**
You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building.
While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.
Duty vs. Results: What Makes an Action Moral?
When judging morality, should we prioritize **intentions/duty** or **outcomes/results**? It introduces two influential philosophers as representatives of these approaches.
* **Immanuel Kant (deontology):** An action is moral when it is done from **duty** and follows rational, universal principles (the **categorical imperative**). Certain acts—like lying—are wrong regardless of the consequences; you can’t do a wrong thing for a right reason.
* **John Stuart Mill (utilitarian consequentialism):** The morality of an action is determined by its **effects**, specifically how much **happiness/well-being** it produces. Mill argues that some pleasures are “higher” than others, and that good intentions don’t redeem harmful outcomes.
## Discussion Questions
1. **The lying dilemma:** A murderer comes to your door and asks if your friend is hiding inside. Kant would say you must not lie.
2. **Can good intentions rescue a bad outcome?**
3. **The organ harvest problem:** A surgeon has five patients dying of organ failure and one healthy patient in for a checkup. Killing the one to harvest organs would save five lives, and the math works out for the utilitarian. Why does this feel so deeply wrong? Is that feeling a point in Kant's favor, or just a bias we should overcome?
4. **Do rules need exceptions?** Kant insists moral rules must be universal, with no exceptions. But most of us can imagine extreme scenarios where any rule seems like it should bend. Does the need for exceptions fatally undermine deontology, or is the strength of the system precisely that it refuses to bend?
5. **Who gets to calculate the consequences?** Utilitarianism asks us to maximize good outcomes, but we're notoriously bad at predicting consequences. If we can't reliably know the results of our actions, is it practical to base our entire moral system on outcomes? Does this uncertainty push us back toward rules and principles?
6. **Everyday morality:** Think about a real moral decision you've made recently, even a small one. Did you reason more like a Kantian (what's the right thing to do in principle?) or more like a utilitarian (what will produce the best result?)? Do most people naturally lean one way?
7. **Justice vs. the greater good:** A town can prevent a deadly plague by sacrificing one innocent person. The greater good is clearly served. But is it just? Can an action be morally right and deeply unjust at the same time?
8. **The big synthesis question:** Are these two systems actually opposed, or do they often arrive at the same answers by different paths? Is it possible that we need both: rules to guide us in the moment and consequences to evaluate systems and policies over time?

Free in-person event: Take Control of Your Mental Health
It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
