Walk & Talk in Arnhem Sonsbeekpark
Welcome to the event page of the Walk & Talk in Arnhem Sonsbeekpark, taking place on Sunday March 29th, 2026. This event is a informal walk where we will connect again and perhaps meet some new people. It will be the first day of Daylight Saving Time and, fortuitously, *Zeldzaam Mooi Markt* is taking place in Sonsbeek. We plan to make a stopover here. Our event is free and open for everyone to join, including Dutch and internationals.
**Practical information**
\- The meetup of this walk is at **13:00 at Arnhem station, near Burger King**. We’ll start walking after 10 minutes.
\- A walk like this is at a casual pace and usually takes about 2 hours\, including breaks\. We are focusing on an area\, not a specific route\. This gives us some room for suggestions of participants like when to have a few minute break\.
\- We will take a coffee break at a café in between or afterwards if there's enough interest\.
\- B\-YOU: Bring your own umbrella\, in case of rain\. If the weather is really unacceptable we will go to a café instead\, or cancel the entire event\.
\- You can leave at any time you like\.

Shut Up & Write!® Almere
Join us for some focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in your area.
When you show up, say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready. Once you’re all settled, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, I will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session.
Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries!
**A note about the format**
We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing.

Create. Express. Unwind - Art & Self-Expression for Women — No Experience Needed
This is a facilitated creative session — not a class. You'll receive a starting prompt, access to paint, collage materials, texture, and colour, then two and a half hours to follow whatever feels right. No instruction. No judgement. No wrong moves.
I designed this for women who spend their days in logic, deadlines, or high performance — and who have quietly stopped making things just for the joy of it. This session is permission to start again.
We work in a small, intentional group. Music plays. Tea is ready. What you make is entirely yours.
### ✅ What's Included
* All creative materials (paint, canvas cards, collage, pastels, mixed media)
* A starting prompt to spark your session
* Curated ambient music and calm space
* Tea, coffee, and light bites
* Your finished work to take home
* Optional group sharing at the end.
***
### 🎒 What to Bring
* Yourself and an open mind
* Comfortable clothes you don't mind getting paint on
* Nothing else — everything is provided
### 📋 Activity Itinerary
| Step | Title | What happens |
