* 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.

There are plenty of restaurants and food venues are around Het Lab. You can buy soft drinks at Het Lab. \- As usual\, voluntary contribution of 3 Eur per person is more than welcome to pay for the costs of the venue \- All participants get 10% discount on all games purchases on the day of the Meetup Hope to see you all there, happy gaming in the meantime!

Hi everyone! For those who want to enjoy nature, trips/excursions, and generally a more outdoors setting, let’s get together for a hiking excursion! The plan is to meet at Utrecht Central (and/or a train station that is closest to our hiking area), and then we begin our hiking route. For first-timers (or as a helpful reminder 😉), I recommend that you wear a comfy outfit & shoes and bring water & a snack or two. At some point during the excursion, we can do a break in-between to rest and eat/drink for a while. Depending on the time & weather, and whether people are up for it, there’s always the possibility of follow-up drinks later that day. More info about the route/location: https://www.komoot.com/smarttour/4265776?ref=atd The route is a 25km one, starting & finishing at Den Bosch Train station. To my knowledge, dogs are allowed, but double check beforehand More tips on finding the group along with helpful contact info with the host will follow in the comments the day before the meetup. To those interested, hope to see you there! 😄 In case of bad (NL) weather, the event might be moved to another day.

Give your still good laptop a second life instead of ditching it because Windows 11 says it is no good... Or you heard Linux is cool. If you have a backup of your data, that is great, else indicate that you do not, so we can help you. Do so in an extra message or to m10@m10tech.nl, else I don't receive your information. Geef je laptop die het nog prima doet een tweede kans in plaats van hem af te schrijven omdat Window 11 dat zegt... Of omdat je hoorde dat Linux gaaf is. Als je al een backup van je data hebt gemaakt is dat perfect. Of verwacht je dat wij dat doen? In dat geval graag aangeven hoe vol je harde schijf nu is... Doe dat in een extra bericht of aan m10@m10tech.nl, want de info komt anders niet door.

## **🌊 Marbling Workshop — Utrecht \(\[Booking via link\]\(se book via the link: https://artools\.nl/product/marbling\-workshop/\)\)** ## **Colour, water, and chance.** ## In this 2h hands-on marbling workshop, pigments float on water and are transferred onto paper — creating patterns that can’t be fully controlled or repeated. It’s a slow, tactile and slightly hypnotic process, where “happy accidents” are part of the experience. **What to expect:** – work directly with colour on water – explore movement and flow – create multiple one-of-a-kind prints – guided but open-ended session You don’t aim for one perfect piece — you create many, each shaped by timing and chance. Details: 🕒 Utrecht 2h **📍 Utrecht** **💶** €70 All materials included No experience needed **⚠️**RSVP on Meetup does not confirm your spot **👉**Please book via the link: https://artools.nl/product/marbling-workshop/

Wil jij met mij op een culinaire reis door rouw? Ik nodig je van harte uit voor de Troost Tafel – Lunch Editie. Een intieme middag waar we samen aan tafel gaan om de smaken van rouw te verkennen. Wat is pittig in jouw rouw? Welke herinnering smaakt nog steeds zoet? In een klein gezelschap van maximaal 8 mensen nodig ik je uit om mee te gaan op mijn culinaire reis door rouw – een reis die ik ooit begon na het verlies van mijn moeder. Eerder organiseerde ik diners, maar deze keer kies ik bewust voor een lunch. Waarom? Omdat ik weet dat het soms spannend kan zijn om over rouw te praten. Met deze kortere, laagdrempelige editie wil ik juist ruimte creëren voor wie dat spannend vindt, maar toch nieuwsgierig is naar verbinding, troost en smaak. 🕰 Indeling van de middag 12.30 – 13.00 Inloop & ontvangst 13.00 – 13.15 Welkom & introductie 13.15 – 15.00 Aan tafel – 3-gangen lunch 15.00 – 15.15 Afronding 15.15 – 15.30 Tijd om rustig naar huis te gaan. 🌿 Wat is de Troost Tafel? De Troost Tafel is een plek waar verliezen, herinneringen en smaken samenkomen. Een culinaire reis door rouw – waarin we onderzoeken hoe emoties en herinneringen zich kunnen vertalen naar smaken. Wat is licht in jouw rouw? Wat voelt zwaar? Wat smaakt bitter of juist zoet? 🌟 Voor wie is de Troost Tafel? Voor iedereen die verlies heeft ervaren – groot of klein. Of je nu net een dierbare bent verloren, of al jaren een gemis met je meedraagt: alle vormen van verlies mogen er zijn. Bij de Troost Tafel leggen we de rouw op tafel, in plaats van hem eronder te schuiven. 🍽 Wat kun je verwachten? Een driegangenlunch, met ruimte voor stilte, gesprek en verbinding. Je zit aan tafel met een kleine groep mensen, ieder met hun eigen verhaal. Bij elke gang staan we stil bij een ander aspect van rouw en smaak – zodat we samen verdieping kunnen vinden in wat ons raakt en verbindt. 💛 Waarom ik de Troost Tafel organiseer? In het laatste jaar van mijn koksopleiding verloor ik mijn moeder aan longkanker. Het was mijn eerste diepe ervaring met rouw, en het bracht me op een intense spirituele reis. In die zoektocht vond ik uiteindelijk rust en acceptatie. Helaas verloor ik recent ook mijn stiefmoeder. Na een zeer kort ziekbed werd ik opnieuw geconfronteerd met het verlies. De Troost Tafel is ontstaan uit mijn verlangen om anderen ook een plek te bieden – een veilige, warme tafel waar verlies ruimte mag krijgen, en waar troost mag ontstaan. Schuif je aan? Als je vragen hebt mag je me ook altijd een bericht sturen.

**We have limited space at the café, so if you've RSVPd and can't make it, please cancel as early as possible so another person can join!** Join in for a morning of crafting & chatting over a drink. Just bring your own project and payment for drinks. Meet fellow crafting enthusiasts, whether it's knitting, crocheting, stitching, origami, or something more unique! We talk about our projects, exchange tipps, but also just get to know each other and enjoy a relaxed Sunday morning in good company. We now also have a WhatsApp group, where we want to organise get-togethers and other events. Ask one of the organisers at the next Meetup you join for more information and access.

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

It feels like we just saw each other 🤷. Join members of the local design and UX community for our monthly breakfast. For May we’re stopping in for Rooh’s popup breakfast/cafe concept. You know someone is getting the lobster yuzu croissant, and that’s not even the prettiest thing on the menu!.

Hey Everyone! Let's meet at Belle's Bread Bakery and Cafe. There is lots of free parking and easy access to the cafe and many shops and restaurants as well. This is a great way to meet new and old friends while chatting about life and practicing English language speaking skills. All are welcome and encouraged to join us anytime between 11am and 1pm. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Communication is everything in life! You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate.
