About us
Welcome to Nijmegen, Explore and More!
This group is for anyone who likes fun activities, fresh air, friendly faces and good vibes, in and around the oldest city in the Netherlands.
Whether you're a local, new in town, or just looking for fun activities and good company, you're in the right place!
We like to keep things varied and are open to all kinds of activities: hiking, bouldering, other sports (no pressure), meditation, day trips, good food, and more.
Got an idea for an event? Don’t be shy, share it. We’re always up for something fun, unusual, or wonderfully random. If you host a recurring event and would like to promote it here, let us know and we can make you an event organizer for the group.
Please only click Attend if you're reasonably sure you can make it. Our events are often full, and no-shows can mean others miss their chance to join. If you're still unsure, feel free to bookmark 🔖 the event instead (top-left in the app, bottom on the website). And if something comes up and you can’t attend after all, please change your RSVP to Not going. Thanks! And hopefully see you at one of our events soon!

Heart of Compassion: Meditatie & Reflectie
Jewel Heart Nijmegen, Hatertseveldweg 284, Nijmegen, NLSince the event will be in Dutch, this description is too.
Ben je benieuwd naar wat het Tibetaans boeddhisme inhoudt en zoek je een plek waar je op een ontspannen en toegankelijke manier kunt kennismaken? Of ben je gewoon op zoek naar een moment van rust, meditatie en reflectie? Dan ben je van harte welkom bij Heart of Compassion, een reeks zondagochtendbijeenkomsten waarin compassie het centrale thema vormt. Aan deze activiteit kun je per keer meedoen.
Tijdens deze ochtenden beginnen we met een gezamenlijke meditatie. Daarna volgt een korte inleiding op een boeddhistisch thema, zoals de Vier Edele Waarheden, compassie voor jezelf en voor anderen. We nemen vervolgens de tijd om samen stil te staan bij het onderwerp, in de vorm van een gesprek of een geleide meditatie die uitnodigt tot reflectie.
Voor wie?
Of je nu net begint met het verkennen van boeddhisme of gewoon op zoek bent naar een moment van rust, iedereen is welkom. Ervaar de kracht van compassie in een toegankelijke en rustige sfeer.Praktische informatie

Meditatiedag - Ontdek de kracht van stilte
Jewel Heart Nijmegen, Hatertseveldweg 284, Nijmegen, NLSince this day will be in Dutch, this description is too.
Ontdek de kracht van stilte
“De innerlijke kracht van stilte, verkregen vanuit een diepe gronding van lichaam en geest, schept de basis voor ware vrede en harmonie.”
– Gelek RimpocheEen paar keer per jaar organiseren we op zondag een bijzondere dag van meditatie en verstilling. Even weg van de drukte, om tot rust te komen en opnieuw contact te maken met je eigen adem, je lichaam, je innerlijke stilte.
We doen dit door middel van bodyscans, mindful bewegen, zit- en loopmeditatie, inspirerende teksten en uitwisseling met elkaar. Ook de lunch (zelf meenemen) gebruiken we als oefening in bewust aanwezig zijn - in stilte.
Of je nu veel mediteert of helemaal aan het begin staat - je bent welkom zoals je bent.
Misschien is dit zo’n dag waar jij aan toe bent? Je bent van harte uitgenodigd.
Datum: Zondag 21 september 2025
Plaats: Jewel Heart, Hatertseveldweg 284, Nijmegen.

❤️🩹The brother and mother of one of my best friends have been diagnosed with PLN, a genetic heart condition. This disease still has no cure and crucial research is at risk of slowing down as international funding becomes uncertain due to the changed political climate. That's why we are trying to raise funds, so this very important research can continue.Preparation
