**Let op: RSVP via Meetup is géén directe aanmelding. Er lopen momenteel twee groepen: één vanaf 16 juni en dan elke drie weken, de tweede vanaf 23 juni en dan elke drie weken. Lees verder voor meer info.** **Voor deelname plannen we eerst een korte intakecall. Na die call bevestigen we of deelname past.** **Stuur dus altijd eerst een mail naar: Info@modernmanhood.nl voor een kennismaking!** **www.Modernmanhood.nl** In een tijd waarin veel mannen in hun eentje worstelen, willen wij iets anders aanbieden: een plek waar je niet hoeft te presteren. Waar je mag vertragen, voelen en delen. De grote aanvraag bevestigt voor ons: de behoefte aan échte verbinding en verdieping onder mannen is groot. In deze mannengroep komen we om de drie weken samen met een vaste groep van maximaal 10 mannen. We creëren een warme, veilige setting waarin we onderzoeken wat het betekent om man te zijn, in relaties, in werk, in vriendschap en in het dagelijks leven. Je hoeft niets te fixen of op te lossen. Je hoeft alleen te verschijnen zoals je bent. Elke avond werken we met een thema zoals woede, kwetsbaarheid, angst, kracht of verbinding. We combineren rituelen, lichaamswerk, deelrondes en oefeningen uit o.a. mindfulness, ademwerk en systemisch werk. Alles in een sfeer van openheid, zachtheid en respect. Je doet een commitment per 4 sessies. Je betaalt vooraf voor elke reeks van 4 bijeenkomsten. De groep loopt door; na elke reeks kun je je opnieuw verbinden en blijft je plek behouden. Zo ontstaat er vertrouwen, diepgang en continuïteit in de groep. De eerste stap is een korte, vrijblijvende kennismakingscall, om elkaar even te spreken en te voelen of het past. Daarna krijg je praktische info via WhatsApp en kun je instappen zodra de nieuwe groep start. De definitieve datum wordt afgestemd op de groepsgrootte en beschikbaarheid van de deelnemers. Meld je gerust aan om op de hoogte te blijven! Aanmelden kan via: info@modernmanhood.nl of kijk op de website. Locatie: Nijmegen Investering in jezelf: €200 voor 4 sessies van 2,5 uur per sessie. Over de facilitators Deze mannengroep wordt begeleid door David Gelsing en Steyn Maréchal.

David Gelsing Is Toegepast Psycholoog en lichaamsgericht therapeut, gespecialiseerd in het begeleiden van innerlijke processen via het lichaam.

Mensen ervaren David als kalm, zacht en geduldig, maar ook als levendig, direct en met een groot gevoel voor humor wanneer dat past. Hij begeleidt met scherpte, veiligheid en een warm hart. 🌐 www.davidgelsing.nl 🔗https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidgelsing/ Steyn Maréchal Is facilitator en communitybouwer met ervaring in het begeleiden van groepen, mannencirkels en processen rond persoonlijke ontwikkeling.

Welcome to the fourth edition of the Cafe Crawl series! This edition is a special one because it's for women only, a fun girl's night out exploring cute cafes together! It's the perfect way to make new female friends in the city or just have a good evening together. We will visit a few nice cafes close to the beautiful Griftpark and we might pass some beautiful street art too. At each stop we'll sit down, enjoy something to eat or drink, and get to know the women around us. You'll be put in small groups that switch a few times, so by the end you'll have had genuine conversations with a good mix of women. How it works: We walk, we discover, we eat something delicious, and we meet new people. The focus is on being in the moment, enjoying the city, and good company. ⚠️ If you're unsure whether you can make it, please free up your spot for someone else.

In this hands-on workshop we’ll work through four real-world scenarios in Python: finding the minimum viable context for sales questions, keeping frequency signals intact when summarizing support tickets at scale, selecting the right columns for churn analysis on a wide customer table, and extracting structured fields from messy product listings with validation you can trust. You’ll write and discuss code together — practical patterns you can take straight back to work. **Agenda** \- 18:00 Doors Open \- 18:30 Start of the Workshop \- 20:00 Workshop Closing & Announcements \- 20:10 Networking \- 21:00 Event Closing **GitHub Repo** [https://github.com/pyladiesams/feed-AI-agentic-beast-proper-data-jun2026](https://github.com/pyladiesams/feed-AI-agentic-beast-proper-data-jun2026) **Stream** [YouTube Stream](https://www.youtube.com/live/2EnszJLzzAc) **Speaker** [Jessica Eggen](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessica-eggen-579b50155/) Jessica Eggen is a Data Analytics Engineer who loves to spent her time wrangling and puzzling with real-world data at scale.

**This might be the girls night you didn’t know you needed.** Many women are living in constant “on” mode- always busy, always giving. And somewhere along the way, we forget how good it feels to simply *be together*. This is your invitation to a real **girls night, where you can come as you are.** Every 3 weeks we come together to relax, laugh, connect and support each other — without pressure, without fixing, without performance. **When women gather in a safe and supportive space, something powerful happens.** We uplift each other through shared laughter, honest conversations, and non-judgement presence. Being around other women who get it can make everything feel a little lighter and brighter. It helps us feel less alone, more supported, emotionally stronger - sometimes simply by being in the same room together. Sometimes we talk. Sometimes we listen, Sometimes we laugh - and even sing - until our bellies hurt. You’re free to share what’s on your mind, or simply enjoy the energy of being around other women who get it. There’s no agenda. No judgement. Just genuine connection, joy, and friendships that feel *easy and real.* And often, there’s that quiet thought: *“oh wow, I didn’t know I needed this.”* All I ask is that you come exactly as you are — tired, joyful, quiet, loud, curious, or unsure. Everything is welcome. We meet every 3 weeks - in Utrecht - because connection grows when we keep showing up for each other — not perfectly, just honestly. ✨ Come as you are. ✨ Leave feeling lighter, more connected, and a little more yourself.

**ArnhemJUG** We are excited to announce that we are welcomed by TenneT for the June meetup. Please note that TenneT **requires** all visitors to present a **valid ID** upon entry and that we must provide a list of attendees in advance. For this reason, **we need your full name** as it appears on your ID. If your Meetup username is different from your real name, we'll get in touch before the event to confirm the name on your ID. Also note that we start 10 minutes earlier than normal, the first talk will start at 18:20 **Agenda** * 17:00 CET walk-in * 17:30 – 18:20 Food and drinks * 18:20 – 19:10 talk: **How we develop and maintain our (12 year old) DDD app** by **Dan Haywood** * 19:10 – 19:30 break * 19:30 – 20:20 talk: **AI augmented teams: from tab complete to AI workforce** by **Radek Kowalski** * 20:20– 20:45 drinks **How we develop and maintain our (12 year old) DDD app** We’re a small team (about 2.5 FTEs) but we develop and maintain a big app - it processes €500m invoices in turnover each year, for a €4bn company that owns and operates shopping centres throughout Europe. And it’s a DDD app too … it’s our focus on the domain that allows us to do a lot with, well, not much. In this talk we’ll try to explain our way of doing things, some of which might be obvious and you’ll know, some of which could be a bit more contentious or surprising. The technology may intrigue you, but the mindset is just as important. **About Dan Haywood** Dan Haywood is an independent consultant based in the UK, an ASF member and committer to Apache Causeway. He spends his days either cutting code or advising governments. **AI augmented teams: from tab complete to AI workforce** Ten months ago, when Radek and his team launched their project under a tight deadline and limited budget, it seemed nearly impossible. Fortunately, it was 2025—and agentic coding tools were ready to help. The team embraced these tools as a lifeline, developing a workflow where engineers and AI agents built software side by side. The result: delivery ahead of schedule and within budget. In this talk, Radek shares how the team’s approach evolved, the practical strategies they developed, and the lessons they learned to overcome constraints in time and cost. **About Radek Kowalski** Over a 20+ year career in IT, Radek has grown from software engineer to architect to senior leader—before returning to the trenches to embrace the AI revolution and shape it firsthand. In the past year, he has helped organizations and engineering teams embed AI into both their business and daily workflows.

Evolve exists to provide a welcoming place for professional women to create an authentic community, deeper connections, and confident growth through networking and workshop events. No cliques, no judgement. **Shades of Sisterhood** is a space for women to grow from the inside out through meaningful conversations, personal development, mindset growth, and courageous self-awareness. These gatherings are designed to create deeper connection, expand perspective, and encourage women to become healthier, stronger, and more aligned versions of themselves — both personally and professionally. Through honest dialogue, shared experiences, and intentional conversations around identity, leadership, confidence, relationships, emotional resilience, and growth, women are invited into a supportive environment where they can learn, reflect, heal, and evolve together. This is not about perfection, hustle culture, or surface-level positivity. It is about creating a safe space for women to have real conversations, challenge limiting beliefs, grow in self-awareness, and step more confidently into who they were created to become. At its core, Shades of Sisterhood exists to remind women that growth starts within — and no woman has to navigate that journey alone. Guests are always welcome. We'd love to meet you! **[Click here to join the call!](https://zoom.us/j/7894682064)** \*\*Evolve Women's Network is a membership based networking group.
