We’re heading out for a beautiful 20 km loop hike from Afferden through the gorgeous Nationaal Park De Maasduinen. This route takes us through a striking Limburg landscape of forest, sandy paths, open heathland, river dunes, and wide views. Along the way, we pass the ruins of Kasteel Bleijenbeek and climb an uitkijktoren for a panoramic view over the Maasduinen landscape. One of the special features of this hike is that we cross the Maas river twice by small ferry. These crossings give the route an extra sense of adventure and connect the Maasduinen landscape with the village side of the river. After one of the crossings, we continue to the village of Vierlingsbeek, where we’ll take our longer break for a drink. After the break, we make our way back toward Afferden, completing a varied loop through forest, heathland, castle history, river scenery, ferry crossings, and quiet Limburg countryside. A hike with forest energy, open heathland, castle ruins, a lookout tower, two Maas river crossings, and a relaxed village drink stop. **📍When and where to meet?** We’ll meet at 11h15 at Busstop "Afferden, Veer naar Sambeek" https://maps.app.goo.gl/kcg4hBvRsHoUjBSa6 ⏰ **We start walking a few minutes after meeting up** We don’t wait for latecomers, as we have a long route ahead and want to enjoy the full day properly. **🚗 Coming by car?** Please check your parking options beforehand so you arrive on time. **⏸️ Planned Breaks** After **4 km:** break at watchtower (5 min) After **7 km:** Having a lunchbreak at ruins of Castle Bleijenbeek (25 min) After **13 km:** Ferry over the Maas After **14 km:** Drinks at bar in Vierlingsbeek (50 min) After **20 km:** Ferry back over the Maas (bring small change to pay the ferry) I still need to confirm or make a reservation at the bar. **💸 Payment** Please pay as soon as you sign up: To keep things fair for everyone, if we don’t receive your payment within 48 hours, we will need to remove you from the participant list.

Learn step by step to build a fully customised animal sounds monitoring device, trained on a local dataset. This workshop is for bird nerds, sound wizards, and for those who are into DYI and low-tech solutions. New to all this? That’s great: coding experience is useful, but not required. The workshop will be based on the bird detector developed by Matteo Marangoni for the project Chorusing Symbionts. Matteo Holyoke Marangoni combines music with visual art, theatre, and new technologies. He develops robotic instruments and artificial creatures to compose spaces in which sound is experienced with the whole body and all the senses. His work draws inspiration from animal communication, bioacoustics, and ecoacoustics, exploring how sound can mediate relationships between humans, machines, and other life forms, and proposing embodied and ecological notions of intelligence, consciousness and subjecthood. 🎫 Regular €40/Student €20 - [get your ticket here](https://ccu.stager.co/shop/default/events/111659793?utm_campaign=build-a-bird&utm_source=meetup)

🌹 **A living room session for women to slow down, connect and set new intentions under the energy of the New Moon.** 🌙 The Gemini New Moon invites us to soften the mind, come back to our voice and reflect on what we truly want to express, create and invite into this new cycle. **Together we will gather in a small circle with ceremonial cacao from Bali, journaling, sharing and a soft sound healing.** You don’t need any experience with cacao, circles or sound healing. This evening is a gentle invitation to arrive exactly as you are. To be held, to feel supported and to reconnect with yourself and the women around you. 🌸 This session is for women only and will be held in **a small group with only 4 spots available**, so there is enough space to feel seen, heard and supported. **What to expect:** \- Ceremonial cacao \- Journaling \- Sharing circle \- Sound healing \- Soft connection with like\-minded women Please bring a journal, a pen and wear something comfortable. **Costs: €25,-** *A special first gathering price for this intimate living room session, including Balinese ceremonial cacao, journaling, sharing, sound healing and a small gift to take home* Sign up: [https://hipsy.nl/event/222850-new-moon-womens-cacao-sound-circle ](https://hipsy.nl/event/222850-new-moon-womens-cacao-sound-circle) Or contact me directly. 🫶🏼 About me: My name is Pati, founder of RAIVIDA Circle. I am a certified cacao ceremony facilitator and a Sound Healing Practitioner Level 1, 2 & 3, trained in Bali. During my travels, from learning about meditation while living with monks in Thailand to discovering the power of cacao, sound and women’s circles in Bali, I felt how healing it can be to gather, soften and support each other as women. RAIVIDA Circle was created from that same feeling. A warm and intimate space where women can connect, feel held, return to themselves and rise from within. Instagram: [@raividacircle](https://www.instagram.com/raividacircle/) I’m looking forward to sharing this space with you. With love, Pati

*Since 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](https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/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** -Begeleiding: Eline Rinchen Dorjee-Weiman -Ontvangst: vanaf 10:15 uur en na de bijeenkomst is er tijd voor een kopje thee -Plaats: [Jewel Heart, Hatertseveldweg 284, 6532 XX Nijmegen](https://maps.app.goo.gl/D4FzqLbkaqs2JNDG8).
