L'importance de l'image corporelle de la femme sur sa sexualité
Iv Psalti, 23 June 2009
What a big challenge! To gather nice people - women en men - at the beginning of this summer. A lot of us were already in a kind of "holiday" mood. Maybe the right moment to have some intellectual food about the female sexuality. We are all concerned by this subject. Iv Psalti was of course a great speaker and Murielle Lona did enjoy to animate this memorable evening. Next time about the man and his sexuality!

When Food For Thought talks about sex in a hot summer night...
On my way to Cook&Book, which was going to host us for the last time before the summer respite, I was thinking about what was going to be said during this session. As I was riding the subway, I noticed a classy woman in her mid 40’s answering a “Sex Quizz” in a famous women magazine. And that is exactly “it”: sex seems to be everywhere: on the radio, in the magazines … even at Cook&Book … even at Food For Thought!

Sex, Love, and Food For Thought
Yvon Dallaire, 19 March 2009
On 19 March 2009, the renowned Canadian Yvon Dallaire was our guest speaker. A very funny and interesting evening on the subject : the differences between men and women. We learned a lot about what to seduce a man - or a woman - and how to communicate better with each other! The top of our sexual life is between 40 and 55 years ! Yvon will come back, for sure. Don't miss the next evening with us in October!

Crisis, what crisis ?
Rudy Aernoudt, 12 March 2009
On 12 March 2009, Rudy Aernoudt was our guest speaker and he shared with us his original view of the crisis. It was a memorable moment with a lot of interaction between the attendees.
We will keep in mind Rudy's message: " In our society driven by money, we need to come back to the human values!". This evening gave us the opportunity to dicover the man behind Rudy Aernoudt!

Rudy Aernoudt, his come back as an intellectual !
Thursday March 12, Rudy must be an happy man tonight. After a short journey in the political world, he just decided to follow his heart. Back to the intellectual world! A role he does enjoy, a role written for him. He could not find a better place to give his first lecture, Cook&Book, the trendy restaurant and bookstore chosen by Food For Thought. For Rudy, a nice discovery!
Rudy Aernoudt, son retour dans le monde des intellectuels !
Jeudi 12 mars. Rudy Aernoudt doit être un homme heureux ce soir. Après son passage éclair dans le monde politique, il vient de décider de suivre son coeur. De retour dans le monde des intellectuels ! Un rôle qu’il aime par dessus tout, un rôle écrit pour lui. Il n’avait pas pu trouver un meilleur endroit pour donner sa première conférence, Cook&Book, le restaurant et librairie, assez trendy, lieu choisi par Food For Thought. Pour Rudy, une découverte très sympathique.

Financial crisis, a fresh breath of air coming
from spiritual values : Catholicism, Protestantism
Bruno Colmant, 5 February 2009
On 5 February 2009, Food For Thought organised an evening session with Bruno Colmant, the CEO of Euronext Brussels. Bruno Colmant has published almost 30 books. One of Colmant's latest books, "Economie Européenne, L'influence des religions", was the main ingredient of the night. Nathalie van Ypersele, Chief editor of Bizz magazine was the moderator. More than 80 people did enjoy the great lecture offered by the talented Bruno Colmant.
Take a look at the pictures !
From Max Weber... to EBay
The main dish of the day was Bruno Colmant’s lecture titled “Financial crisis: a fresh breath of air coming from spirituality: Catholicism and Protestantism”. The venue was sold-out to ear and discuss what Euronext Brussels’ CEO would share that night. A lot came thanks to the long lasting appetizer, served by the whole national media coverage, with what they simply call: « the crisis ».
Read the text written by Bruno Colmant for this session
Il y a cinq siècles, l’Europe fut déchirée par des luttes confessionnelles d’une envergure inconnue et d’une violence terrifiante. A la Réforme diffusée par Luther et Calvin, l’Eglise catholique répondit par un durcissement ecclésiastique lors du Concile de Trente. Cette polarisation religieuse déclencha des persécutions confessionnelles et des flux migratoires vers des pays aujourd’hui à dominance protestante.

A networking lunch at the trendy place Cook&Book gave the opportunity to the participants to have a little chat and to meet the speakers. It was a memorable moment !

Women don't ask"...but they answered the call of Food For Thought
The menu of that day was pretty appetizing: Sara Laschever, US best-selling author, top speaker and passionate about female empowerment was, of course, the main entree. But to sharpen the intellectual appetite of our guests, the whole Food For Thought team managed to set up a renowned discussion panel to create an enriching experience.
The participants enjoy this event !

The socio-economic impact of the Freemasonry
Pierre Klees, 3 November 2008
On 3 November 2008, Food For Thought organised an evening session with Pierre Klees. He had a very interesting talk on the socio-economic impact of the freemasonry, partly based on his book " Rencontres entre des profanes et un franc-maçon "(February 2008). Being a businessman and a freemason, Pierre Klees was the ideal speaker to explain this subject. Pierre Walkiers, Managing Director at ING moderated the debate with a lot of professionalism. The networking event turned out to be a big success!

When Food For Thought made a rhyme with food, discovery, interaction, Freemasonry and ambiance...
What ingredients are needed to create a memorable night? Food For Thought found them, united them and created a unique night made of discussions and meetings, in an easy-going atmosphere. The menu of that night might have been somewhat surprising: Pierre Klees, former Grand Master of the Grand Orient of Belgium, was invited to discuss his thoughts on the socio-economic impact of Freemasonry.
