Weekend Getaway Winter Edition 2025

There are no topics resulting from the meetings with the technical experts, so the only topic we have is the one on the guest room. Other than that, if that’s ok with the group, I would also like to bring the topic on power and responsibility.

If some people would be interested, I could also prepare an NVC practice session. This I would need to know in advance though, because the week is passing quickly.

That shouldn’t be a problem re sleeping :slight_smile:
For logistics, I think you’re the only one coming on Saturday.
So indeed renting a car or you can take a train down to Dinant, Rochefort or Beauraing.
On the way back there should be a spot in a car (@reef-communitylife check with me: 13 adults +1 child coming back to Brussels, number of seats : 7 + 5 + 4 = 16).

Ok, thanks. We’ll have a chat and let you know.

Hi all,

About the carpooling: we will have 3 cars:

  • Sarah, Chris, Manuel, Ada and I will leave at 14.30 with a rental car, so that we can set up the place and start making arragenements for diner.
  • Could the others reach out to @joannes and @els to arrange the time of leaving and meeting place?

Thanks a lot :slight_smile:

  • what the exact address is of the airbnb
  • who else is leaving on friday and needs a ride (not sure i can trust the survey above)

I hope I am not forgetting anyone:
Dave, Ugne, Lee, Sophie, Manoj, Odile. I hope the ones who I might have missed will correct me :wink:

@els and @joannes - could you maybe let us know from what time onwards you’re able to leave and from where (your home or are pick-ups possible?) so that we can arrange accordingly? Thank you :slight_smile:

Hi Mieke, maybe I am missing STH but as I didn’t make the reservation and it’s not shared with me, I cannot see the address ( or am I overlooking STH)? ( Message: the address will ge shown after booking)

I would like to leave between 16:30 and 17:30. I can leave from my place ( picking you up at bus stop or tram stop wiener or metro Herman debroux) or coming closer to the people who drive with me.

The people living closest to me are you, Manoj, lee ( if Lee is leaving from her place). A fifth person can join, but will be less comfortable and no need for if I see the number of people needing a ride on friday. Ugne already contacted me if she could join so maybe ugne. You all indicated to be ready to leave around the time , so that would be my proposition if that works for everyone…(@Sophie_B , @Lee , @ugne , @Dave_Starhawk @Odile @joannes )

So Dave, Odile, ( ugne) and maybe Anne leaving with Joanne’s a bit later

Best to meet at my place at 18:00 (it said 18:30 before but if we want to start the weekend on time, 18 is better.). I can also pick people up on the way to Libin, that is, to the East of Brussels.

The drive is 1h30 in the best of circumstances.

@Dave_Starhawk made the booking. Dave could you copy paste the full address here?

@joannes can I book a place in your car?

@Sophie_B @Lee @ugne @Dave_Starhawk @Odile @joannes @manuelpueyo

I am taking Sophie, Manoj and Ugne to go to Libin/Redu. Pickup place: Sophie’s place, Time of pickup: 16:45. There is still one place free in theory but as there is some luggage and dishes to transport, i prefer to keep it like this.

So @joannes : for you to take Lee, Dave and Odile to Libin/Redu

That will work + some food/drinks that Manuel will bring to me tonight.

@Dave_Starhawk what time can you be here? That’s when we’ll leave. Or can I pick you up somewhere East of Brussels, on our way to Libin/Redu?

Hi Joannes, are you going to pass close to the Casernes or La Chasse in Etterbeek on your way to Libin/Redu?

That’s East of Brussels, so yes!

I will do that, many thanks!

I just wanted to send a very big thank you to the wonderful people of @reef-communitylife and everybody who helped out with the logistics of the weekend. I incredibly appreciated all the thought, care, time and energy that went into it. Thanks a lot!
