Wellbeing Heroes: End Game Co-creation part 3: Prototyping & Playtesting
Thanks to everyone who contributed during our previous two co-creation sessions on the **"Wellbeing Heroes: End Game"** project. We've established a clear vision, identified core themes (Polycrisis, healing, scarcity, gift economy), and defined our target audience as **17-65 old**.
We are now ready to move into the exciting **Prototyping & Playtesting** stage in our third session!
**You do not need to have attended the previous events! Feel free to check previous events for more information about the game background!**
The goal of this in-person session is to **try out and help shape the two primary game concepts** we've been developing:
* **Concept 1: Multiple Spaceships**
* A strategic board game where each player captains a spaceship/group with unequal resources and abilities, requiring difficult collaboration to survive an intensifying crisis. (Prototype led by Daan Heemskerk)
* **Concept 2: Single-Ship Roleplay Crew**
* A collaborative table top role-playing experience where players take on different roles within a single ship's crew (e.g., captain, food producer), focusing on internal power dynamics, resource administration, and moral reflection. (Prototype led by Mahdi Abdelwahab)
We need your hands-on participation to test the mechanics and help us refine the design before the final version.
**Key Session Details:**
* **Activity:** Eating together and Testing two game prototypes.
* **Target Group:** 17+
* **Group Size:** Ideal for 5–7 per prototype.
* **Duration:** Estimated 4 hours, including drinks and eating.
* **When:** 30th of January 2026, at 18h.
* **Location:** Utrecht, Rosa Buurtcentrum, Lombok
We look forward to prototyping and shaping the **"Wellbeing Heroes: End Game"** with you!

🏔️🦣 From Loenermark to Posbank Power Hike (22 km) 🍻🍟
We’re heading into the south eastern Veluwe for a stunning scenic route that stays wonderfully quiet and almost deserted for a big part of the way, before building up to a truly spectacular grand finale!
After around 6 km we reach the mysterious “Altar of the Loenermark” (Altaar van de Loenermark). I have no idea what it is, so we’ll discover it together. From there we continue through the beautiful heather and forest landscapes of Loenermark, one of those places where the Veluwe feels wide, wild, and open.
Next we pass one of the quirkiest monuments in the Netherlands: the Ijkbasis Loenermark 1957–2007, a tribute to the calibration of measurement instruments from the past. The calibration itself might not sound exciting, but the location absolutely is, right in the middle of wide open heather, with big skies and that endless Veluwe feeling. It also marks about 11 km into the hike, a perfect spot to take our lunch break.
After lunch we walk straight through the iconic National Park Veluwezoom, famous for its rolling grasslands and its fluffy semi wild cows. To finish in style, we end at Paviljoen De Posbank for a well earned snack or drink with a view over what many call the most spectacular heather of the Netherlands, complete with rolling hills.
From there we head down towards Rheden, where you can easily catch the train or bus home. This is not a loop hike!
**📍When and where to meet?**
We’ll meet at 10h at busstop Loenen, Leeuwenbergweg.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/LC3nNJQo57B5NnSy8
We are leaving a bit earlier otherwise we will find Paviljoen Posbank closed, which would be very sad.
⏰ We **start walking a few minutes after meeting up** — we don’t wait for latecomers, as the forest calls and daylight is short this time of year.
**🚗 Coming by car?**
This is not a loop hike. If you park in Loenen, you’ll need to make your own way back from Rheden afterwards.
**⏸️ Planned Breaks**
After **11 km**: Lunch break at **Ijkbasis Loenermark** (bring your packed lunch, this spot is truly in the middle of nowhere) **20 min**
[https://maps.app.goo.gl/S5vAEpadAJs93ZrC7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/S5vAEpadAJs93ZrC7)
After **19 km**: Snack or drink at **Paviljoen De Posbank**
[https://maps.app.goo.gl/wowuqj3sRY5hcid37](https://maps.app.goo.gl/wowuqj3sRY5hcid37)
**💸 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. If there’s a waiting list, this will happen sooner (in less than 48 hours). If that happens, no worries — you’re always welcome to sign up again if there’s space.
🌟 Early Bird Deal! Join now for just €4 — available for 3 days (72h). After that, the price will be €5.

* Hike difficulty: Our hikes are moderately challenging. Please only join if you’re confident you can keep up with the group’s pace (5 km/ h)— it’s more fun for everyone when we can walk together without long waits.
* If the pace is too challenging: We may kindly suggest you continue at your own pace. We’ll give you clear directions to the nearest bus or train so you can return comfortably.
* At your own risk: You participate at your own risk, so please make sure you have appropriate insurance coverage for outdoor activities.
* Payment note: With Tikkie we only see initials (e.g., J. Doe instead of John Doe). Please include your Meetup name in the payment note so we can match it easily.

* What to bring: Snacks, lunch, and water/ or hot thee/ coffee.
* Stay connected: Join our WhatsApp group to be the first to hear about future hikes — ask for the QR code during the hike.

[Arnhem] This is Spinal Tap (1984)
#This meetup is around a third-party organizer (Focus Filmtheater): you can either purchase your ticket online or right before the session#
**Title**: This is Spinal Tap
**Language**: English
**Subtitles**: Dutch
**Length**: 82 min
**Director**: Rob Reiner
**More info**: https://www.focusarnhem.nl/agenda/this-is-spinal-tap/
**Ticket link**: https://www.focusarnhem.nl/tickets/141362/
**Synopsis**:
This Is Spinal Tap\[a\] is a 1984 American mockumentary comedy film directed by Rob Reiner in his feature directorial debut\. Christopher Guest\, Michael McKean\, and Harry Shearer play members of the parody heavy metal band Spinal Tap\.\[3\]\[4\] Reiner plays Martin "Marty" Di Bergi\, a documentary filmmaker following the band's American tour\.
The film satirizes the behavior and musical pretensions of rock bands and the hagiographic tendencies of rock documentaries such as The Song Remains the Same (1976) and The Last Waltz (1978), similarly to what All You Need Is Cash (1978) by the Rutles did for the Beatles.[5] Reiner, Guest, McKean, and Shearer wrote the screenplay, though most of the dialogue was improvised and dozens of hours were filmed.
This Is Spinal Tap was released by Embassy Pictures on March 2, 1984 to critical acclaim, but found only modest commercial success in theaters. Its later VHS release brought greater success and a cult following. Credited with launching the mockumentary genre,[4] it is also notable as the origin of the phrase "up to eleven". Deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress, it was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry in 2002. Reiner, Guest, McKean, and Shearer reprised their roles for the 2025 sequel Spinal Tap II: The End Continues and the 2026 concert film Spinal Tap at Stonehenge: The Final Finale.
**How it works**:
I will be at Focus around 20:45, where we can meet before the movie starts. You can message me to find us. Screening starts at 21:15. After the movie, we can have a drink together.
I have a ticket for Row 7 seat 9.
Hope to see you soon!

*Hiking Queers Netherlands*
Hiking excursion Klein Drakenstein - Utrecht area
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/1273448003?ref=atd
The route is 16ish km long along with a loop around Lage Vuursche area. It starts & finishes (loop route) at Den Dolder
We don't have info if dogs are allowed on this route. Usually they are in the area but this is the 1st time using this route as a group.
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.

Anger and Resentment, How to Handle their Source and Live a Better Life
Wouldn’t it be nice to find a way to overcome your feelings of anger so that you not only control them, but you no longer have the urge to lose your temper in the first place?
And how about being able to shake off resentments, persistent annoyance, or even feelings of vengeance?
We’d like to invite you to an event on how to overcome anger and resentment. We will show you why people have trouble controlling their temper and where resentment comes from.
Flaring anger can ruin a meeting, a relationship, an opportunity, or just about any aspect of life. Worst of all, outbursts towards our family can create hurt that lingers throughout a lifetime.
You want to have a civil conversation, and you’ve vowed that you wouldn’t lose your temper, but a few minutes later, the anger flares up. Maybe you’ve realized that being angry doesn’t get you what you want so you internalize it. Or maybe you avoid the knockdown, drag-out fights, but stewing in resentment is exhausting and takes an emotional toll.
In this event we show you how to get to the root of your anger so that it stops being an issue to you. You’ll also learn why people harbor resentments and how to move on.
Don't continue to struggle, make a difference in your life, and join us for this local event.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there.
This Meetup is sponsored by your local Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center.
In-Person Event: The Answers to Depression & Anxiety
This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them.
Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance".
Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you.
The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life.
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.
This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.
How to Take Control of YOUR Mental Health
It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind.
Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Here is the secret of being positive and free:
Thinking positively is not enough.
You also have to get rid of the negative thinking.
Your mind is like a garden.
You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden.
A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed.
You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there.
So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out!
The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life.

Free in-person event: Take Control of Your Mental Health
It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
