If you are living in The Netherlands, by now, you may well have noticed the amount of open water. If you enjoy cycling in the city, you may wish to feel safer as you navigate the bridges and canals. And you may also want to get ready for visiting the beach, pools or the many lakes this summer. Learning how to swim takes approx 1 year and it all starts with the very first lesson. New comers enroll via our website and pay € 30,50, this is the first lesson and a goody bag. After the class you agree with the personal swim coach how to continue to obtain your final objectives. Enrolling is only possible via [www.your-personal-swim-coach.nl ](https://www.your-personal-swim-coach.nl/)hence a rvsp via meetup is not enough.

Samen sporten, gewoon voor de fun, elke week een divers programma, met allerlei verschillende sporten. Je hoeft niet de beste te zijn, maar wel zin hebben om samen te spelen en te leren. Tijdens een training doen we verschillende spelletjes, basketbal, voetbal. volleybal, spikebal, honkbal. Kom je ook, de bal ligt bij jou!! Eerste keer meedoen is altijd gratis, daarna kan je beslissen of dit voor jou is, of niet!! Dus kom een keer proberen. Kan je niet op deze dag, we sporten ook op andere dagen nl Zondag om 9:30 of Maandag om 20:30 Stuur mij een berichtje als je op die dagen een keer wil proberen! The amount of people rsvp'd to this game doesn't match the real number of people at the event, as Meetup is only used for promotion purposes.

Geen (geplande) workshops of lezingen, maar mocht je iets leuks te melden of te leren hebben voel je vrij om dit te delen. Of kom gewoon gezellig langs om mede-bitcoiners te ontmoeten bij deze Eenentwinting Utrecht meetup bij dimS Eten en Drinken in Amersfoort (op loopafstand van Amersfoort Vathorst).

Ready for a scenic hike? We’re heading out for a beautiful 19 km hike around Lunteren, passing forests, sand drifts, and even the official geographical center of the Netherlands. Expect beautiful nature, good conversations, and a great way to meet new people! 19 km is also a perfect first training day for the [PLN charity walk](https://www.meetup.com/nijmegen-explore-and-more/events/313573496/). And you’re of course also absolutely welcome to come if you’re not joining the fundraiser. Come for the nature, the social vibe, or just because you enjoy a solid hike. **What to expect** 📍Distance: \~19 km 🌲Terrain: mostly forest paths, sandy sections and heathland (varied and scenic) 🚶**‍**Pace: relaxed but steady ☕Breaks: there are some nice spots for a couple of breaks **Times & places** ⏱️**12:15** Start at [Lunteren train station (Spoorstraat 4, 6741 DE Lunteren) ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/6uPDXGh8ATBDJJQe9) 🏁**17:00** Back at starting point (estimate depending on pace and breaks, flexibility helps) **Cost** 💰[A €7.50 donation](https://www.detikkendeklokchallenge.nl/fundraisers/sam/donate) (or more 😉) to the PLN fundraising walk.

Just send me a message! 🎗️This event is free if you have already signed up for our team in the [PLN fundraising walk](https://www.meetup.com/nijmegen-explore-and-more/events/313573496/) ❤️‍🩹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** 🥾This is a friendly training distance, suitable if you’re comfortable walking longer routes. No speed needed, just a positive mindset. 🥪Bring water, snacks, weather-appropriate clothing, and comfortable shoes. ❓Questions? Send me a message, happy to help :-) **Event Policies** ⚠️ Disclaimer: Participants are responsible for their own safety. Please stay with the group and respect nature at all times. ⚠️ Cancellation: The event will be canceled in case of severe weather conditions (you’ll be notified in advance). A refund is not possible because this is a fundraiser, the money goes directly to a good cause. But I will try to reschedule a worthy replacement event :-) ⚠️ No-show might result in ban: Marking yourself as "going" takes a spot away from others for limited capacity events like this. If you are marked as going but don't show up, you might be banned from the *Nijmegen Explore & More* group

Join us on a 7km hike from Amersfoort Vathorst train station to Landgoed Hoevelaken and back. From Vathorst Station we'll walk through a residential area for around 15 minutes until we'll cross under the A28 highway and head into Landgoed Hoevelaken. Here we'll walk on a mixture of long forest lanes and smaller winding forest paths. After crossing the provincial road to Nijkerk we'll also walk through the Overbos forest. At the end we'll head back to Vathorst train station via Nijkerkerveen village, some meadows and along the railways. Utrecht Hiking Community is organising one hike per month. Our aim is not to hike fast, but to hike "gezellig". It's intended to be a mixture of being active in nature, exploring places in and around Utrecht and meeting fellow hiking enthusiasts. Everybody is welcome to join, no matter whether you are a beginner or a hiking pro, expat or a local, student or professional (or maybe even retired). Also you can come with friends, but alone as well. At our previous hikes there were always many people who didn't know any of the other hikers, so it's a perfect opportunity to get to know some fellow hiking enthusiasts. If you like this idea and want not only to participate but to support us as well, you can help us by making a small donation using this link: https://www.ing.nl/payreq/m/?trxid=L9Z0gDbAfY48ETP1VhKdTHId88RaaaDe We're using these to cover for our travel costs and MeetUp subscription (about €200 a year for event organisers). We'll start our hike at 10.30AM and will meet in the tunnel under Amersfoort Vathorst train station. Please try your best to arrive on time, since if you arrive later, we won't make the whole group wait for you. You can however send a message on WhatsApp to +31621177691, so we can send you our live location and you can try to catch up with the group. For those coming by car, there are a few parking places at the end of the Amendijk street in Hooglanderveen, which are directly next to the train station. At the nearby Vathorst shopping center there are many more free parking places. After the hike, after arriving back to Vathorst train station, we can go for a lunch with anybody who wants to in the nearby Vathorst shopping centre. What should you bring for this hike? Good hiking shoes (about half of the route is paved and the other half is unpaved), a bottle with water or anything else you'd like to drink on the way and of course a good mood are the only things really necessary. Also don't forget to put on some SPF. A few other practical things that are good to know: Dogs are allowed on this route, but need to be kept on a leash while we are not walking in Landgoed Hoevelaken. There is no toilet at Amersfoort Vathorst train station, so please make sure to visit a toilet before you depart to Amersfoort Vathorst. Alternatively you can go to the toilet in the library in the Vathorst shopping centre, but it's a 3 minute walk from the train station to get there. We will make some photos during the hike for on our social media (Instagram: @utrecht.hiking.community). If you don't want to be on any photos, you can still join, but please notify the organisers before the hike. And finally, in case of very bad weather we might postpone the hike to another date. Right now it doesn't look like we may expect that kind of bad weather, but just for in any case, please check this event for any updates on the evening before the hike. See you on Saturday!

**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data** How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice. Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look. In this session, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it. **About Our Speaker:** [Elaine Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainearmbruster/) is a Director of Digital Experience at the [American Diabetes Association](https://diabetes.org/), where she focuses on using data and insights to create smarter, more effective digital experiences. A lifelong Columbus resident, she has built her career in email marketing and the broader digital user journey, and is finding she most enjoys working in the messy middle where systems, data, and big ideas don’t quite line up yet.

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
