๐ŸŽฌ The Club โ€“ Summer Movie Festival (Private Garden)
๐ŸŽฌ The Club โ€“ Summer Movie Festival (Private Garden)
Small curated movie nights in a hidden garden in Ixelles, next to Place Flagey. A mix of: * **cult classics** * **recent movies** * **international cinema** * **comedy nights** * **karaoke & dubbing chaos nights** * **comfort food and summer vibes** **This is not a giant public Meetup** where 40 strangers stand awkwardly around overpriced drinks pretending networking is fun. Humanity already suffered enough. Our idea is simple: we gather in a private home and transform the courtyard into a small outdoor cinema. Sometimes we cook together before the movie: Italian, Thai, Lebanese, Japanese, Balkan, Greek, Latin American street food etc. Sometimes people simply grab pizza from the excellent pizzeria next door and join the screening. Food is intentionally relaxed: bowls, finger food, street food, popcorn, snacks, comfort food. **Some nights are more gourmet.** Some are glorified pizza-and-movie nights. Both are valid forms of civilization **;-)** ## **What makes this different** The group is i**ntentionally small**: usually 6 to 8 people maximum. **People are introduced properly.** Nobody gets abandoned in a corner. The atmosphere stays human, social and safe. **No heavy drinking.** **No creepy behavior.** No random people showing up uninvited. Smoking is allowed because is outside in the courtyard and occasionally we may have **hookah nights** depending on the movie/theme. ## **Typical evenings** * Wong Kar-wai + Asian comfort food * Spaghetti western + Italian street food * Anime + sushi night * Greek cinema + mezze * Balkan chaos cinema + burek * Cult movie dubbing nights where people voice scenes live karaoke-style Yes, this is a real thing now apparently. ## **Important** Because Meetups and public internet are full of bots, spam accounts and socially radioactive individuals, **we do NOT post the exact address publicly.** To join: scan the QR code on the image and request access to the private WhatsApp group or send me a DM. From there: * we announce movies * vote on menus * organize cooking nights * coordinate places **If you are new in Brussels, introverted, traveling, recently arrived, or simply tired of giant impersonal events, this may be your thing.**

2nd Photolanguage Gathering (Walk and Talk)
2nd Photolanguage Gathering (Walk and Talk)
If you're tired of small talk, tired of discussing hobbies and politics, and if there's something telling you there's more to share and more to observe... Please join us :) For our second event, weโ€™re going to make the most out of this beautiful weather (again) and gather in the heart of the Forรชt de Soignes. Weโ€™ll meet at the Quatre Bras (Vier Armen) tram stop and walk together towards a bench in the forest (about a 45-minute walk). The walk is part of the experience, a chance to slow down, breathe, and let the forest help us unwind before we begin. Once we arrive, weโ€™ll start the meeting. Iโ€™ll share a selection of photos with the group (and youโ€™re very welcome to bring one of your own). The photos are simply there to gently spark memories and stories that may be waiting to be expressed. From there, weโ€™ll move into a session of speaking and active listening, with no interruptions. Iโ€™ll explain the structure more clearly once weโ€™re together. For now, here are the main things to keep in mind: โ— Please listen to others without interrupting. Letโ€™s create a space that feels kind and respectful. โ— Come with an open heart and a willingness to share something youโ€™ve experienced, even if youโ€™re not quite sure what that is yet (thatโ€™s what the photos are for). Your story doesnโ€™t have to be deep, this isnโ€™t a storytelling performance. What matters most is that youโ€™re genuine. And if something deep wants to be shared, thatโ€™s very welcome too. โ— If at any point you feel uncomfortable, you donโ€™t have to speak. Thereโ€™s no pressure. โ— Youโ€™re welcome to bring something to drink, but no food please, this helps us keep a calm and attentive atmosphere while others are sharing. โ— Please try to be on time, as we wonโ€™t be able to wait once we start walking. If youโ€™re running late, just send me a message via Meetup and Iโ€™ll share the exact location of the bench so you can join us there. โ— This is our first event, so weโ€™re doing our best to keep it organized while still allowing space for spontaneity. Looking forward to sharing this first gathering with you. Hopefully, this will be a time of real human connection! I'll be glad to answer any questions you might have :)

๐Ÿฅพ The Wild Ninglinspo Adventure - 19Km
**Waterfalls, Panoramic Viewpoints & Hidden Ardennes Treasures** **Escape Brussels and discover one of the most spectacular hiking routes in Belgium.** Join Sunday Vacations for a full-day hiking adventure through the legendary Ninglinspo Valley, often considered one of the most beautiful natural areas in Belgium. Expect cascading waterfalls, crystal-clear river pools, dramatic forest trails, panoramic viewpoints, rugged Ardennes landscapes, and plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow explorers. This is not a casual stroll. It's a rewarding and sporty hike designed for people who love nature, movement, and discovering extraordinary places alongside a welcoming international community. Whether you're new to Brussels, an expat looking to meet like-minded people, or simply searching for an unforgettable Sunday outdoors, this hike offers the perfect mix of adventure, scenery, and connection. *** **๐ŸŒฟ Curated Experience** **Experience Overview** The Ninglinspo is Belgium's only mountain river, carving its way through a wild valley filled with waterfalls, natural pools, wooden footbridges, rocky trails, and breathtaking viewpoints. Throughout the day, we'll follow the river upstream, climb towards spectacular panoramas overlooking the Ardennes, discover historic landmarks including the ruins of a medieval castle, and enjoy some of the most photogenic landscapes Belgium has to offer. Along the way, we'll share conversations, picnic together, and create new memories with a community of international professionals, expats, locals, and outdoor enthusiasts. People often join these experiences not only for the destination but for the people they meet along the way. Community and meaningful social connection remain among the strongest motivations for joining outdoor events. *** **Highlights** โœจ The famous Ninglinspo waterfalls โœจ Belgium's only mountain river โœจ Natural pools and forest streams โœจ Panoramic viewpoints over the Amblรจve Valley โœจ The spectacular Drouet viewpoint โœจ The historic ruins of Chรขteau de Montjardin โœจ Dense Ardennes forests โœจ Scenic wooden bridges and rocky paths โœจ Community picnic surrounded by nature โœจ International and welcoming atmosphere โœจ Perfect for solo joiners โœจ Nearly 19 km of adventure *** **Plan / Itinerary** **08:45 โ€“ Meet at Brussels Central Station** Meet the group, collect train tickets if applicable, and start the journey together. *** **10:40 โ€“ Arrival in Aywaille** Short coffee stop and welcome briefing. *** **10:45 โ€“ Start of the Hike** Distance: 18.9 km Difficulty: Moderate to Sporty Elevation: Approx. 600m+ Expected hiking time: 5.5 to 6.5 hours *** **Stage 1: The Ninglinspo Valley** We begin by following the famous Ninglinspo River through one of Belgium's most spectacular natural landscapes.

A perfect moment for photos and a well-earned break. *** **Stage 3: Chรขteau de Montjardin** Continuing along scenic trails, we'll reach the remains of the medieval Chรขteau de Montjardin. Surrounded by forest and history, this hidden site offers a glimpse into the region's past and provides a unique atmosphere rarely found on Belgian hikes. *** **Stage 4: Picnic in Nature** We'll stop for a relaxed picnic lunch at one of the scenic viewpoints or forest clearings along the route. Bring your own lunch and enjoy the views while getting to know fellow participants. *** **Stage 5: Return Through the Ardennes** Our return route follows the valley back towards Aywaille, with small variations where possible to discover additional viewpoints and quieter sections of trail.

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started โ€” but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome โ€” please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. ๐Ÿค ๐Ÿ‘‹ **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries.
