Food Addiction

#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!

Pokeravond in Hilversum – kleine vaste groep We spelen eens per twee weken op woensdagavond. Ontspannen sfeer, beetje competitie en een kleine inleg. We zijn een vaste groep en hebben nog plek voor 1–2 mannen die het leuk vinden om vaker mee te doen. Je kunt eerst een keer aansluiten om te kijken of het klikt. Lijkt het je wat? Stuur even een berichtje.

Hi all! 🙂 On Wednesdays we welcome you to practice languages! If you want to practice a specific (uncommon) language, please send us a message so we can find some conversation partners for you on our mailing list! We hope to see you in Café Marktzicht! In the last year we had tables for the following languages: * Dutch * English * French * Italian * Spanish * Turkish\* * German\* * Portuguese\* * Danish\* * Norwegian\* * Russian\* * Arabic\* * Chinese\*\* * Japanese\*\* * Indonesian\*\* * * Most likely, but not every week present. \*\* - Rather rare ;-) If your language is not in this list, please let us know! We have a large database of Language Cafe visitors speaking 56 different languages! We might be able to connect you with a person that does speak the language you want to practice. In case you are not in our database yet, please use this form: http://goo.gl/forms/oSCn9Dn8m8

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.

**Bitcoin Meetup met Crazy Pool!** Deze maand organiseren we iets leuks: voorafgaand aan de meetup (voor wie dat wil) spelen we Crazy Pool bij Timestamp op de Korenmarkt. Crazy Pool lijkt op minigolf, maar je speelt het met een keu en een bal die je door verschillende obstakels moet stoten. De speeltijd is ongeveer 45 minuten. Aansluitend eten we bij Flor Fina. Je kunt ook na het diner aansluiten als je alleen voor een drankje wilt komen. De Bitcoin Meetup is geschikt voor zowel beginners als ervaren bitcoiners. Stel je vragen en praat mee over de nieuwste ontwikkelingen in de wereld van bitcoin. Wil je meedoen met Crazy Pool of mee-eten? Laat het ons even weten, dan houden we daar rekening mee bij de reservering. * 16:30 — Crazy Pool @ Timestamp (Korenmarkt) * 17:30 — Diner @ Flor Fina (Korenmarkt) * 19:30 — Drinks @ Flor Fina (Korenmarkt) ## English Bitcoin Meetup with Crazy Pool!

Welcome, readers! Our April read is **_Martyr!_ by Kaveh Akbar.** The story follows a young Iranian American poet grappling with grief, addiction, and the aching question of what makes a life meaningful. Drawn into an unexpected friendship with a terminally ill artist, he begins to confront faith, love, and the seduction of self-destruction. Lyrical, darkly funny, and emotionally piercing, the novel wrestles with beauty and despair in equal measure. It’s a story about longing—to be seen, to be forgiven, and to matter. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖

**Optional movie afterwards**

From birth, human beings are learning. Before we are able to hold concrete memories, we are being shaped and impacted by everything about our lives and situations. From the point that we become capable of cognizant thought and memory, our lives could be summed up as a series of our responses to our circumstances, whether for good or for ill. Dr. Joe Dispenza sees a deep need for human beings to live *on purpose*. Rather than just living life in reaction mode, he challenges people to live intentionally, to seek to change the negative that we have encountered and to pursue the positive through purposeful steps in a different and healthy direction. His study and work seek to demonstrate the changes that can be made from the inside out. Join us as we take a look at new ways to grow at **6:30 pm,** **Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at True Food Kitchen, Easton Town Center, Columbus**. Get your tickets on [EventBrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/breaking-the-habit-of-being-yourself-columbus-ohio-tickets-1984662515008)!
