Hi everyone, This coffee morning event is @MIR Concept Coffee Store! Saturday, 27 June 2026, from 10:00 - 13:00. MIR opened its doors 4 years ago, right off Place Jourdan. Doriana, the owner, is a super nice host, and is excited to have our group as her café. The café is very beautiful and has great coffee, and many yummy food options. Their Instagram channel: https://www.instagram.com/mirconceptstore/ **The address is:** MIR Concept Coffee Store Rue Gray 4A 1040 Etterbeek *** 1. The **prime time** of the event is **10:30 - 12:30**. That's when most people will be there. 2. When you enter the gallery, it's either on the right-hand side or left-hand side of its hallway, depending which entrance you take. 3. If you intend **to join past 12:00** (high noon), then there is no need to register. Just come and join! 4. **DON'T forget to cancel** if you can't join! 5. **Please, be respectful towards each other during the event. (And after ;))** **As always, feel free to follow us on INSTAGRAM!** [https://instagram.com/weekendmorningcoffee?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==](https://instagram.com/weekendmorningcoffee?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==) **THE STRUCTURE of THE EVENT:** * I will post the event on Saturday/Sunday evening for the following Saturday. * I send out a reminder to everyone on Friday. * There is sometimes a waiting list. * In case RSVP is closed (once there are 10-15 people on the waiting list), I might reopen it on Friday, depending on the number of cancellations in the meantime. * **For everyone on the waiting,** please check your status and messages on Friday evening the latest. I message everyone on the waiting list on Friday. * **Please, move to "not going" AS SOON AS you know that you can't come anymore, that includes everyone who is on the waiting list.** **IMPORTANT:** * **Please, be respectful towards each other during the event. (And after ;))** * When you register yourself, be careful not to register accidentally a +1 guest (unless you bring a guest). It happens very often. * If you have any questions then, message me. *** **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!**

Yo llevaré unos, pero si tienes alguno que te guste, tráelo sin miedo. Eso sí, los juegos con texto, ¡en español! ⏱ Horarios: Empezamos a las 14:00, pero si llegas más tarde, no pasa nada, te unes cuando quieras y te quedas el rato que quieras. 🚦Lista de espera ¡No existe! 😄 📢 Más info se puede compartir en el chat o por DM —asegúrate de revisar tus mensajes el día antes para no perderte nada crítico . ‍🐈‍⬛ El Código de los Amigos: Nada de formalidades – aquí venimos a divertirnos Respeto y buena onda – si no, ¡¿Los errores?! ¡Nos dan igual! Y si algo se complica, volvemos a lo que conocemos mejor: 💃🎭🎸 ¡Hasta luego!

Saturday will be extremely hot, let’s exit our home sauna for a refreshing walk aimed at maximising shade and water point close to Brussels. We will meet in front of Starbucks at Brussels central before noon and take the train to Beersel at 12:12 with a connection in Hal, arriving in Beersel at 12:48 where we start hiking during about an hour before lunch in a shaded place along a forest stream. After lunch we stroll through Parc de la Sauvagere and Kauwberg back to Calevoet station with possible exit at Uccle St Job station. From Calevoet station l suggest a trip back to central with a last 10 minutes stroll through Royal Parc up to glacier Bargello or Caberdouche terrace for an ice cream or drink to hopefully celebrate the Red Devils qualification🥂 And for those in vibe there is afterwards a free evening party at Terrace O2 on Meetup. !!! As usual rule in respect of participants and organisers, please only register if you are committed to really attend. Bring 2 liters of water, sun cream, cap, glasses and lunch…

**🌡️ Heatwave Special:** We've deliberately scheduled this walk for **16:30**, after the hottest part of the day, and chosen a shorter, mostly shaded route through the Sonian Forest to make it as comfortable as possible while still enjoying nature together. **This event is free for Sunday Vacations members. Membership starts at €5/year.** 👉 Join here: [https://www.sundayvacations.com](https://www.sundayvacations.com/membership) *Please RSVP only if you are reasonably sure you can attend and update your RSVP if your plans change.* **🌍 Sunday Vacations Community Event** ## Escape the city. Find some shade. Meet great people. With temperatures soaring this week, let's swap hot streets for cool forest paths. Join Sunday Vacations for a refreshing late-afternoon walk through one of Brussels' most beautiful natural areas. We'll explore the peaceful Vuylbeek Valley, where dense beech trees, quiet ponds and shaded trails create one of the city's most refreshing places to spend a summer evening. Starting later in the day allows us to avoid the hottest hours while enjoying the forest at its most peaceful. This is an easy, relaxed walk designed for conversation, fresh air and good company—not for speed or endurance. Whether you're new to Brussels, an expat looking to meet people, or simply craving a nature break after work, everyone is welcome. Because the best way to end a hot day is under the trees. # 🌳 The Experience We'll follow a short and scenic route through the heart of the Sonian Forest, passing peaceful ponds, woodland trails and small streams. Thanks to its dense tree canopy and extensive greenery, the Sonian Forest is one of Brussels' natural cooling areas, often feeling noticeably fresher than the city centre on warm days. We'll walk at a relaxed pace with plenty of opportunities to chat, take photos and simply enjoy being outdoors. Afterwards, anyone who wishes can join for a drink or a bite nearby. # 📍 Walk Details 🥾 **Distance:** Approximately **4 - 5 km** *(easy social walk)* ⏱️ **Duration:** Around **1.5 hours** 📈 **Difficulty:** Easy 🌳 Mostly shaded forest paths 💧 Ponds & woodland scenery 👟 Suitable for everyone with normal fitness 🐶 Dogs welcome on a leash # 📅 Programme **16:15** Meet the group **16:30** Departure Enjoy an easy walk through the Sonian Forest with several short stops. **Around 18:00** End of the walk. Optional drink afterwards for anyone who would like to continue the evening together. # 📍 Meeting Point **Ukkel – Pijnbomenweg** 🕟 **Departure:** **16:30 sharp** The exact Google Maps pin will be shared with registered participants # 🌍 Sunday Vacations Membership ### Explorer Starting at €5/year ### Voyager Starting at €50/year ### Ambassador Starting at €150/year Join a community of internationals, expats and locals who enjoy discovering Belgium together: www.sundayvacations.com # 👥 Who Should Join?
