AfterLife

A little while ago, I said I was working on something new. It feels right to finally share it today — the same day Life Bar, as we’ve known it, closes its doors. One thing ending, another quietly beginning.

I’m going to cook healthy, nourishing, and delicious meals for small groups, up to about twenty people.

Think of a yoga retreat somewhere in Flanders, near Leuven, where I show up with a warm, thoughtfully balanced meal. Or a small celebration where you’d rather have real, nourishing food than something overly fancy.

Every meal is homecooked, made with fresh, local ingredients and a lot of devotion. Vegetables take center stage, brought to life with the spices and herbs I’ve always loved working with.

It’s no coincidence this is coming now. All those years at Life Bar were about the same thing: giving people something that does them good, made with simple, honest ingredients. I’m carrying that forward — just on a smaller, more personal scale.

If you’re interested, send me a message. (More details on how it all works are coming soon.)

This account will stay, and will be all about the food. If you want to follow the other journey I’m on — the run from Belgium to Iran, the training, the road itself — that’s happening over on Lilii Tavasoli

I have a dream.

I am training for a new challenge. A journey of thousands of kilometers. From Belgium to Iran. To the city where I was born. Four to six months on the road. Every day a marathon.

Not because I want to prove something. But because I want to honor my roots.

My future is here in Belgium. This is where I’ve built my life. But Iran shaped me into the man I am, and this journey is my way of acknowledging that.

Though this isn’t only about me.

Along the way, I want to collect stories. Stories of people who lost their home. People who had to leave. People who are still on the way.

I want to show a different face of refugees and migrants. Not the numbers. Not the files. But the people. Because nobody leaves their home without a reason. Everyone has a story. Everyone has a reason.

This journey is mine.

And so I run. This time, on my own terms.

If you want to follow the journey more closely — the training, the preparation, the road itself — I’m sharing that separately on Lilii Tavasoli . That’s where it will all unfold, step by step.

One more thing is coming — and it might just be my favorite one yet.

Hope. That’s maybe the one thing I never lost.

Not even when I heard I had to leave the country.

At that crucial moment a lawyer crossed my path. One person. He didn’t give me miracles. He gave me time. But mostly, he gave me hope.

To this day, I believe one person can make the difference in someone else’s life. Sometimes with something big. Often with something very small.

After ten years, I finally received legal documents. I was allowed to stay.

For the first time, I felt ground under my feet. Not because all my problems had disappeared, but because I finally had room to live instead of just survive.

I started building again. I started Life Bar.

People sometimes called me crazy. My mother used to say I always chose the difficult path. “You turn the spoon around your head before you put it in your mouth.” Maybe she was right. But I kept going.

What began as a small breakfast bar grew into a place full of life. A place where people met each other. A place where I got to dream again.

I know so many of you have your own memory of Life Bar — a morning, a conversation, a moment that stuck with you. I’d love to read them. Share your favorite Life Bar memory in the comments.

Over 20 years ago, I ran away from Iran.

Not because I wanted to. Not because I was looking for adventure. I ran because staying was no longer an option.

I left everything behind. My family. My friends. My home. Even the business I had built together with a friend. A life that seemed to have nothing wrong with it. A life I didn’t want to lose.

But sometimes life chooses for you.

When I arrived in Belgium, I thought the hardest kilometers were behind me.

I was wrong.

The next ten years became a marathon without a finish line. Every day, searching again for a place where I was allowed to stay. Papers. Procedures. Waiting. Hoping. Disappointment. Starting over.

Some days it felt like I was constantly on the move without ever arriving anywhere.

I remember days when I was mostly just glad it was evening. Not because the day had been good, but because it was over.

Tomorrow, I would try again.

To be continued.
