[Arnhem] English subs: L'engloutie
#This meetup is around a third-party organizer (Focus Filmtheater): you can either purchase your ticket online or right before the session. **Seats are numbered**#
**Title**: L'engloutie
**Language**: French
**Subtitles**: English
**Length**: 98 min
**Director**: Louise Hémon
**More info**: https://www.focusarnhem.nl/agenda/lengloutie-2/
**Ticket link**: https://www.focusarnhem.nl/tickets/143042/
**Synopsis**:
On a stormy night in 1899, Aimée, a young republican schoolteacher, arrives in a snowbound hamlet on the remote edges of the French Alps.
Despite the villagers’ mistrust, she’s determined to shed light on what she sees as their dark beliefs. As she gradually becomes part of the community, a sensual vertigo begins to grow within her. Until the day an avalanche claims the life of a first mountain dweller.
**How it works**:
I will be at Focus around 18:30, where we can meet before the movie starts. You can message me to find us. Screening starts at 19:00. After the movie, we can have a drink together.
Hope to see you soon!

Utrecht Serious Games design - Playtest (je eigen) serious games.
Stel je voor: een avond waar karton en ideeën vonken geven. Waar pionnen geen plastic zijn, maar gesprekstarters. Waar een prototype geen “bijna-af” product is, maar een laboratorium op tafel.
Spellenmaakgilde en The Serious Gamers bundelen hun krachten en brengen het beste van twee werelden samen.
**Het Spellenmaakgilde** is een community voor makers van bord- en kaartspellen: testen, schaven, opnieuw proberen. Idee > prototype > feedback > beter spel.
**The Serious Gamers** richt zich op spellen die meer doen dan vermaken: ze zetten spel in als middel om te leren, gedrag te spiegelen en gesprekken op gang te brengen op de werkvloer.
Op **woensdagavond 22 april** draait alles om Serious Game Prototypes.
Heb jij een spel in ontwikkeling dat iets wil blootleggen, oefenen of veranderen?
* Een spel dat teams helpt elkaar écht te begrijpen?
* Een spel dat mensen kritisch laat kijken naar hun werk of naar de maatschappij?
Dan is dit jouw moment.
We bouwen samen aan spellen die niet alleen leuk zijn, maar iets in beweging zetten.
📍 Locatie: **Café Oproer in Utrecht**
🕖 Tijd: **19.00 - 22.00\***
💶 Deelname: **gratis**
🎲 Doel: **testen, leren, aanscherpen**
Neem je prototype mee. Of kom spelen en feedback geven.
Maar kom vooral!
Meld je aan en schuif aan tafel.
\*Aan tafel kan ook voor avondeten, de locatie is vanaf de middag geopend. Dus kom er gerust (op eigen kosten) wat eten vooraf.

Entrepreneurs Evening - Pub Edition
Hi all,
We’re back at Mick O’Connells and ready for another strong evening!
We’ve got our own space again. Walk in, turn right at the bar, head past the dart boards, and you’ll find us in the side room.
We've introduced a simple rotating format that gives you the chance to actually speak with everyone in the room.
Short, focused conversations, good energy, and a lot more fun than it sounds.
We’ll throw in a few conversation topics to get things going, but how you use the evening is entirely up to you.
Come with intention, or don’t. Talk business, find clients, meet future partners, make friends, or just unwind with people who get it.
We’re all building something, and we all have to roll with the punches.
Only rule: you’re an entrepreneur, freelancer, or about to become one within the next 3 months. If not… the clock starts now ;)
Try to arrive on time so we can kick things off properly.
Can't find us? Look for the grey Gnome. He’ll guide you better than any sign ever could.
See you there.
Storytelling Workshop: How great would it be to create our own versions of tales
* Host will tell you parts of an existing lesser known myth.
* You retell this myth as a team using the prompt from the host.
* Host reveals the original myth.
The event showcases the power of collective story telling. There is no compulsion to speak, one can attend by merely listening to the stories.
It is a safe place 🙂✨
Everyone plays the game in the way they feel the most comfortable.
The event price is 10 euros, which includes one drink. Host gets 5 for the preparation of the myths and prompts, the rest goes to the establishment where the event is hosted.

**🍊🍊 KING's NIGHT NOTE**
**2026 26th April celebrations falls on a Sunday** \- and Sundays work a bit different because of the local rules \(by the Municipal\) for bars\, cafes & events\.
**2 Notes:**
1\. Throughout the city there will be ticketed events and at some locations there will be *free outside music stages (most likely on the bigger squares).*
2\. A lot of bars will close at their regular early Sunday closing time\! \(due to high Sunday costs & event permits involved\)\. *Not all bars but a great many!*

In Person Event: The Secrets to Mental Health
Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it?
How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
