**đ Hey Adventurers !**
Are you brave enough to wash away 2025 and start 2026 with a **massive** splash?
Join us for the legendary **Nieuwjaarsduik (New Yearâs Dive)** in Ostend! Every year, thousands of "Polar Bears" gather on the beach to run into the freezing North Sea. It is crazy, it is freezing, but the adrenaline rush is absolutely unforgettable.
âïž Do I HAVE to dive?
No! If you prefer to stay dry, we need a "Support Squad" to guard the towels, take photos, and have the hot chocolate ready. Whether you are running into the waves or cheering from the sand, you are part of the crew.

* **1:30 PM:** Arrive, register, and find our spot on the beach. Time to change (or put on your funny costume!).

* **3:30 PM:** Warm up! Weâll grab hot soup, jenever, or hot chocolate (often provided by the event or we buy our own).

đ Twilight Walk in Parc de Woluwe (đźRed Torch/Headlamp Requiredđź)
_IMPORTANT: To RSVP you will also need to register as a member [here.](https://forms.gle/PsmYJ3vQKocXQCAY6)_
**đź Please bring a red-light headlamp or torch (Decathlon has them).**
Red mode is required to minimize light pollution, respect wildlife, and keep the peaceful night-walk atmosphere.
As winter approaches and daylight fades earlier, weâll take advantage of the calm, blue-hour mood for a gentle **late-afternoon walk through Parc de Woluwe** - one of Brusselsâ most elegant urban parks.
Weâll follow an easy loop along the lakes and the Woluwe River, enjoying that unique winter serenity: silhouettes of trees against the sky, reflections on the water, and the quiet shift from day to night.
After the walk, weâll warm up together with a drink at **Brasserie des Ătangs Mellaerts**, our meeting and parking point.
### **đŻïž A bit of history, softly told at dusk**
Created during the **Belle Ăpoque** (1896â1898) as part of King Leopold IIâs urban vision, the park was designed as a landscaped corridor linking Brussels to Tervuren. The gentle river, the chain of lakes, and the elegant avenues still echo that eraâs idea of blending beauty, nature, and modern city life.
### **đ Plan**
* Meet at **Brasserie des Ătangs Mellaerts**, Bd du Souverain 275, 1150 Woluwe-Saint-Pierre
* **Parking** available on site
* Easy access via **Tram 39/44** from Montgomery or **Tram 8** from Roodebeek - get off at *Musée du Tram*
* We start and end the walk at the ClubHouse, followed by warm drinks together â
### **đż Expect**
đ Winter foliage, calm lakes, and soft evening light
đŠ Ducks, herons, maybe even a fox if weâre lucky
âš A cozy, slightly scout-like night walk with red headlamps
đ Gentle pace - dogs welcome
### **đ¶ Symbolic Contribution**
This recurring walk is **free**.

Free In-Person Meeting: Healing from Trauma and Past Betrayals
This is a free, in person meeting.
Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to âpin the blameâ on someone or something. If you donât find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, donât know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe youâve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
âą How to âeraseâ the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isnât always repeating past mistakes.
âą Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
âą Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
âą Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
âą Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
âą What underlies âcorrosive criticismâ or the need to invalidate self or others?
âą How one can stably change oneâs outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
âą Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
âą How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
âą How to enhance oneâs own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or oneâs career?
Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
Learn where painful experiences are âstoredâ and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can âeraseâ those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become âtoxicâ personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you wonât be tripped up trusting the wrong person.
Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.
We look forward to having you join us!
This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Contra dance with Big Scioty on Jan 3 - First Congregational Church
**Caller: Gaye Fifer**
**Band: Hot Coffee Breakdown**
**Big Scioty Contra Dance**
**temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215**
WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like youâve seen in period films such as âPride and Prejudiceâ, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. Thatâs English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like âswing your partnerâ and âdo-si-do,â like youâve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alĂĄ âRiverdance.â Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THATâs Contra Dancing!
Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor.
Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner.
Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot.
For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/)
Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!
