*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).

Event planned for Sunday near the Diemen Station.

Samen sporten, gewoon voor de fun, elke week een divers programma, met allerlei verschillende sporten. Je hoeft niet de beste te zijn, maar wel zin hebben om samen te spelen en te leren. Tijdens een training doen we verschillende spelletjes, basketbal, voetbal. volleybal, spikebal, honkbal. Kom je ook, de bal ligt bij jou!! Eerste keer meedoen is altijd gratis, daarna kan je beslissen of dit voor jou is, of niet!! Dus kom een keer proberen. Kan je niet op deze dag, we sporten ook op andere dagen nl Zondag om 9:30 of Maandag om 20:30 Stuur mij een berichtje als je op die dagen een keer wil proberen! The amount of people rsvp'd to this game doesn't match the real number of people at the event, as Meetup is only used for promotion purposes.

For the final chapter of this year’s *Real Estate* series, we’ll travel east to the beautiful countryside near Doetinchem to explore one of the most fascinating estates in the Netherlands: **Kasteel Slangenburg**. 📍 Sunday 14 June — 13:00 📍 Meeting point: Kasteel Slangenburg bus stop, Doetinchem Hidden among forests, historic lanes and old hunting grounds, Kasteel Slangenburg is a 17th-century castle built on medieval foundations, surrounded by a landscape shaped over centuries by noble families, nature and architecture. During our walk, we’ll explore the estate’s remarkable trapezium-shaped avenue system, cross the atmospheric “sterrenbos” (star forest), walk along parts of the Pieterpad and discover hidden corners such as the historic horse washing area and the family cemetery. This is one of those places where history, landscape design and nature blend together perfectly — and where the Dutch countryside suddenly feels almost cinematic. And of course, as always, we’ll also talk about the stories behind the estate: the castle owners, the transformations of the land over the centuries, and the role these country estates played in Dutch history. The walk is approximately **4.2 km**, mostly through the estate grounds and surrounding forested landscape. With a bit of luck, we may even spot some local wildlife along the way 👀 ⚠️ Important logistical note: reaching Kasteel Slangenburg by public transport usually requires booking the **RRReis Haltetaxi**, an on-demand shuttle service that connects from Doetinchem station (or other nearby points depending on where you come from). The taxi must be booked **at least 2 hours in advance** of your intended departure time, so please plan your journey carefully! After the walk, we’ll stop at the estate’s former coach house — today transformed into the charming **Koetshuis Slangenburg café** — where we can relax together with a drink and a chat before heading home. As always, everyone is welcome 😊

I update the booking as early as Thursday; 5.5 euro is charged. Pay and in Please make sure you can make it then sign up. Please do not cancel the last day.

**When:** Sunday, 14th of June at 13:00 **Where:** Amsterdam (exact venue shared with confirmed guests) **Event fee:** €7 (early-bird)/€10 (general admission)/€15 (late bird). Prepaid only. 🎟️ **[Click here to register for the event](https://luma.com/k2hyvm40)** **✨ Speed Friending by SpeakTiger now coming to Amsterdam.** An afternoon designed to help you connect with people. ☀️Summer is here. You can feel it – the days are long, the energy is back, and there's that quiet wish: now let's actually do something different. **This is where it starts.** We started in Portugal and have been running Speed Friending events for a while now. Every single one sold out. People left with plans for the weekend, group chats that actually work, and friends they didn't expect to make. **Amsterdam – it's your turn.** ⭐*Short, intentional 1-on-1 conversations. A simple, comfortable way to meet new people. Just sit down. Talk. Connect. Like you mean it.* **🪑 So, how does it work?** – The space is set up with small tables for two. – You'll have a series of **1-on-1 conversations**, each lasting 10–15 minutes. – You don't have to approach anyone. You just sit down — and talk. – We guide the flow and tell you when to rotate 🔄. ✅ This is a **guided**, one-on-one event. ✅ Each table has **optional prompt cards** to move past small talk. ✅ No awkward silences. No pressure. No *'so, what do you do?'* loops. 🥂 At the end, you'll have time to reconnect with anyone you clicked – grab a drink, share a laugh, make a plan. By then, the room won't feel like strangers anymore. ✨ Structured enough to make it easy. ✨ Relaxed enough to feel real. And because it's a **Sunday**, the day doesn't have to end there. **👀 Who it's for** * You live or work in Amsterdam and want an actual social circle here. * You're tired of surface-level small talk and "we should hang out sometime" that never goes anywhere. * You're curious, open-minded, and up for something new. **🧭 The details** 🗓️ When: Sunday, 14th of June at 13:00 📍 Where: Amsterdam (exact venue shared with confirmed guests - to make it natural and avoid walk-ins) 🎟️ Event fee: €7 (early bird)/€10 (general admission)/ €15 (late bird). Prepaid only. Limited spots. 🤘 **I WANT TO JOIN** **[Click here to register for the event](https://luma.com/k2hyvm40)** ❓**FAQ** **\- Can I come alone?** Yes. Most people do. That's actually the point. **\- Do I have to talk to everyone?** You'll rotate through almost everyone – but nothing is forced. Take a break whenever you need. **\- I'm shy – is this for me?** Absolutely. You don't have to approach anyone or come up with the perfect opener. Just show up. **\- Is this like speed dating?** The format is similar (1-on-1 conversations that rotate), but there's no romantic angle. This is about real friendship, not a date. **\- Why is the location secret?** We share the venue only with confirmed guests. Keeping it private helps us match the space to the group size and creates a more intimate, focused experience. ⚡ **Heads up – these spots fill up fast.** Every Lisbon edition? Sold out. Amsterdam is the debut - which means the first crowd sets the tone for everything that comes next. We're keeping it small and curated on purpose. If you want in, book early. 🐯 **Hosted by SpeakTiger – now landing in Amsterdam.** Come curious. Come as you are. 🤘 And leave with people you actually want to see again.
