  5. My non-cycling partner and I recently went to Flanders on holidays and I had hoped for a little bit of biking, especially after I found the "Cycling through the Water" (visitlimburg.be/nl/fietsendoor) and "visitlimburg.be/nl/fietsendoor) attractions. These were GREAT and really fun to see and ride - but it was all much better for a number of reasons 🧵

  7. CW: Promo, interbeing event in Antwerp

    This Saturday, Sarah John will be hosting a day of interbeing discovery. I don't know what it's going to be (nobody does), but I do know that Sarah is an excellent facilitator.

    If you're in Antwerp on Saturday, and you're interested in relational being and the in-between, come join!

    Here's the description:

    A flock of birds is not a collection of individuals. It is a living field.

    We are not self-contained. We come into being in relation. What we can perceive, feel and create depends profoundly on who we are with and how present we are to each other.

    We know this. And yet we live in a time that tells us the individual is the unit of everything. We have become very good at working alone, thinking alone, creating alone. The challenges that matter most cannot be met this way. They need a different kind of intelligence. One that lives between us, not just inside us.

    Murmurations is a day to practise that intelligence. Together we will move, speak, reflect and play - experimenting with what becomes possible when we let go of the limit of individuality and start genuinely moving together. We will work with physical practices, such as flocking and one brain. The day is informed by thinkers and doers from philosophy, mysticism and science who have explored the nature of the space between us and what potentials it holds.

    This is a laboratory. What emerges will be shaped by where we are willing to go together.

    Makers, teachers, thinkers, creators, doers & dreamers all welcome.
    No previous experience needed. Just curiosity.

  22. Never realised that #Behemoth had done this.... "When we heard Deep Creek went into liquidation, we wanted to help. We hired two of their staff, we also bought all of their 750ml Barrel Aged Beers from the liquidators, intending to use the proceeds to support the Deep Creek staff who missed out on their wages and holiday pay."

    So was just in time to snag the last bottle of
    Deep Creek Hamish Blake Gus 🍻 plus some Behemoth brews.
