Saturday Morning Coffee - 10:00 @MIR Concept Coffee Store
Hi everyone,
This coffee morning event is @MIR Concept Coffee Store!
Saturday, 10 January 2026, from 10:00 - 13:00.
MIR opened its doors about 3 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 many yummy food options.
The 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!**

đż **Restful Reset â Gong Bath**
đ **Sunday, January 11 · 4:00 pm**
đ **Yoga Studio Brussels**
After the intensity of the beginning of the year, this gong bath is offered as a deep pause â a moment to slow down, settle the nervous system, and gently return to balance.
This session is intentionally **restful rather than stimulating**. Through sound, silence, and vibration, the body is invited to shift from mental activity into deeper listening, breath, and sensation.
đ **The sound journey unfolds through planetary qualities:**
âïž Sun â clarity, vitality, inner orientation
đ Moon â rest, receptivity, emotional regulation
đ Venus â harmony, softness, self-care
đ Mercury â mental digestion, integration, calming the mind
đ Earth â grounding, stability, embodiment (including Schumann resonance)
Rather than pushing or releasing, this gong bath supports **integration and recalibration**, allowing the nervous system to rest and reorganize.
đ¶ **Price**
⹠35 ⏠(one person)
⹠32 ⏠per person when coming two or more
â ïž **Early booking recommended** â places are limited and sessions tend to fill up.
đ© **Bookings & info:**
bookings@nirmalkaram.com
âš A space to rest, integrate, and realign.

đż **Restful Reset â Bain de gong=**
đ **Dimanche 11 janvier · 16h00**
đ **Yoga Studio Brussels**
AprĂšs lâintensitĂ© du dĂ©but de lâannĂ©e, ce bain de gongs est proposĂ© comme une pause profonde â un temps pour ralentir, apaiser le systĂšme nerveux et revenir doucement Ă lâĂ©quilibre.
La sĂ©ance est pensĂ©e comme un espace de repos, plutĂŽt que comme une expĂ©rience stimulante. Ă travers le son, le silence et la vibration, le corps est invitĂ© Ă quitter lâactivitĂ© mentale pour entrer dans une Ă©coute plus fine de la respiration et des sensations.
đ **Le voyage sonore sâarticule autour de qualitĂ©s planĂ©taires :**
âïž Soleil â clartĂ©, vitalitĂ©, orientation intĂ©rieure
đ Lune â repos, rĂ©ceptivitĂ©, rĂ©gulation Ă©motionnelle
đ VĂ©nus â harmonie, douceur, soin de soi
đ Mercure â digestion mentale, intĂ©gration, apaisement du mental
đ Terre â ancrage, stabilitĂ©, incarnation (incluant la rĂ©sonance de Schumann)
PlutĂŽt que de provoquer une catharsis, ce bain de gongs soutient une recalibration douce, permettant au systĂšme nerveux de se dĂ©poser et de sâorganiser.
đ¶ **Tarif**
⹠35 ⏠(une personne)
⹠32 ⏠par personne à partir de deux personnes
â ïž **RĂ©servation anticipĂ©e recommandĂ©e** â nombre de places limitĂ©.

Here & Now, re-experienced*
Another new year just arriving, it might be a fitting opportunity to re-explore a subject we last did in July 2021 when live contacting towards the end of the COVID pandemic was just beginning to resume, although we were still obligated to hold that meetup outdoors in order to avoid the prescribed maximum of 8 participants when indoors. Since then, life has "normalized" again, and, thinking back, it might even be now almost difficult to imagine how that pandemic period, back "there and then", was experienced during that time as a "here and now"...
How "here and now" is related to "there and then" is indeed one of the questions we might wish to explore during our next session...
This subject I believe is one of the most interesting ones we've covered in Brussels Philosophy so far, inviting us to re-examine how we phenomenologically experience space and time, and in the process (literally!) to critically re-think how we habitually conceptualize space and time in our everyday lives.
So here's the intro:
Why, when we look in a mirror, are left and right reversed but not up and down? Might this pseudo-paradox ("para-paradox"??) (not) be a clue, if at least only by analogy, as to why we typically seem to have a clearer concept of what we can identify as an "eternal now", but seemingly have much more difficulty conceptualizing an "eternal here"?
When it comes to experiencing and conceptualizing moments in time and places in space in relation to change, we habitually, almost instinctively, believe that moments flow by (in the one stream of time) independent of our will, while places always remain the same places (independent of the fact that they gradually become different as time goes on), and moreover, remain subject to our will: we can choose to move (or not move) from one place to another. We can travel in space but not in time. Change, therefore, we tend to view as a phenomenon that is temporal, not spatial: "things may change _in_ time, but it is time itself that causes change".
On the other hand, we do seem able to perceive and conceptualize an "eternal now"... while seemingly finding it more difficult to experience an "eternal here" (the pseudo-paradox).
Newton indeed conceived of time as a dimension separate and independent of the 3 dimensions of space, and of all events in the universe as occurring in one singular uniform flow of time, whereas Einstein, as we all now understand, conceptualized spacetime as one unified phenomenon, neither space itself nor time itself being absolute or independent of the other.
In this meetup we will attempt to explore and find out if there is a phenomenological counterpart to Einstein's spacetime.
The thesis proposed here is that there is indeed, and that it is in fact found centre stage in our consciousness - but perhaps because of survival pressures that have operated on humans collectively and individually for most of our history, and the resultant ways in which language and culture have evolved, our consciousness of the "eternal here" has remained under-developed. (Language and culture mirror consciousness, and how consciousness develops mirrors existent language and culture.)
A key corollary-claim in this thesis is that change can also be experienced and explained primarily in terms of space, without reference to time, and moreover, such a manner of perceiving and conceptualizing space-driven change arguably remains compatible with both Newtonian (tweaking it slightly, perhaps!) and Einsteinian models of reality.
Our session will provide an opportunity to consider and examine phenomenological experiences that could be referred to as "eternal now", "eternal here", "everywhere here", "everywhen now", "everywhere now", "everywhen here", "flowing time", "flowing space" ...
We will be guided through several different thought experiments designed to support the idea that change can be attributed to space rather than time, paying special attention to developing the concept of "flowing space".
These thought experiments will then hopefully invite animated and open discussion.
So let's enjoy being able to meet up with no restrictions this time. Looking forward to seeing you then & there!

At WebDev Columbus, we are exploring some of the most important topics of professional high-end web design and page building. Primarily focused on site building in the WordPress environment, our group explores tools, tips, and techniques for building the best WordPress sites possible. Additionally, we focus on disciplines and technologies that take website design from visually appealing to optimized spaces for delivering you and/or your client's message effectively and with a nod towards extended reach.
Each session combines practical demonstrations with real-world insights, giving you actionable knowledge you can apply immediately. Whether you're a seasoned developer looking to enhance your design skills or a newcomer wanting to understand design best practices, this series offers valuable insights for every skill level.
**What to expect:**
* Hands-on demonstrations of popular design tools
* Best practices for design-to-development workflows
* Tips for creating responsive, accessible designs
* Real-world problem-solving scenarios
* Interactive Q&A sessions
* Networking opportunities with fellow developers
**Each meetup features:**
60 minutes of focused presentation
30 minutes of live demonstrations
30 minutes for questions and discussion
**See you there!**
Our casual, collaborative environment encourages learning from both presenters and fellow attendees. Bring your questions, share your experiences, and connect with Central Ohio's web development community!
**Stay tuned for specific session topics and dates.**

Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup (2nd Tues)
Jimmy V's Grill & Pub in Grandview Heights. You are responsible for your own meal/drinks. We usually don't have any agenda other than eat, drink and talk. :) If the weather is nice we will be on the back patio, otherwise we are in the cigar room.
This group has been meeting every Tuesday evening for over a decade. Many attendees do not RSVP on meetup. Please don't let the small number here discourage you. Anyone/everyone is welcome to come. We'd love to have you join us.
COTA bus #5 comes to W. 5th and Wyandotte Rd. And it's a minute walk to the restaurant.

Did you know that there are atheists everywhere?!?! You may not know it, but we are! We're in your schools, diners, police force, military, government, and some are even still in your churches! So come and join us and meet other local atheists, along with agnostics, heathens, humanists, skeptics, and anyone else who's 'hell bound'!
Vision: a Central Ohio that accepts atheism as a viable alternative in all areas of public and private life.
Mission: grow, support, and provide community for atheists in Central Ohio.
Social meetings held most Tuesdays at a local pub/restaurant at 7:00 PM (and often into the wee hours). Attendees call themselves agnostics, skeptics, humanists, non-theists, deists or even theists. All attendees are welcome but should support our vision.

Psychic Development Series II - Pueo Group
Private Group. Closed to the Public
Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy.
In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected.
The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve.
I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
