**READ THROUGH BEFORE SIGNING-UP (and ensure you check your meet-up chat regularly :-) )** Can't think about a better way to wrap up the week then kayaking around the city channels. GreenKayak, a NGO dedicated to raise awareness to ocean pollution, makes few (open) kayaks available across the city to paddle and help collecting waste floating in the water. Open kayaks are typically easier to manovre than other types, and do not require EPP2/EPP3 patents. I booked 2 double kayaks for 4 ppl in total. It is possible to use the facilities at Kayak Republic free of charge: restrooms, lockers and showers. **REQUIREMENT** \- Safety first \- Need to be able to swim comfortably \- Waterproof gear preferable \- Sun lotion and sunglasses \- Change of clothes in case yours get a bit wet during paddling \- Towel\, if you want to shower or just in case **COST** Unfortunately, due to the frequent last minute cancellation last summer, it was challenging backfilling participants with short or no notice, and it was very disrespectful to the group and GreenKayak NGO. **To reserve your spot, please transfer 150 kr. to my mobilepay 25717293**. The amount will be returned to you if you show up on time, or the event is cancelled for other reasons; **this remains a free non-profit event**. The kayak rental is free of charge provided that: \- we are able to pick\-up some waste during our paddling activity \- we share our experience on the So\.Me \#GreenKayak **AGENDA** 16:50- Meet up - please be on time 🙂 16:50-17:00 Briefing and getting ready 17-00-18:45 Paddling around Copenhagen channels and return to the start point 18:45-19:00 Return the equipment to Kayak Republic **DISCOMFORT LEVEL** \- 3/5 **TO LEARN MORE** [GreenKayak](https://www.greenkayak.org/)

**Summer Flavours & The Art of Embodied Dating** \- \(Age 35\-55\)\* As the summer heat slowly starts to build, we invite you to another round of Softer Dating! [Tickets through House of Play](https://www.houseofplay.dk/special-events/softer-dating-1) Dating can often times feel very “heady” and intellectual. We think about what to say, try to be funny etc. but by doing that we miss out on a bunch of other juicy and good stuff! This is for you, if you are ready to explore new ways of being in connection beyond the regular small-talk. The thing is, our bodies are incredibly good at understanding what they like and dislike. While the mind is busy making up stories, the body, already senses what is happening in this moment. In this event you are invited to allow your body to lead your experience. *Words and thoughts get to take a little break tonight.* You won’t have to think about what to say next, what to share in order to fill the silence. You get full permission to be in the body, and we will guide you into that space. **WHAT YOU'LL TAKE WITH YOU** Beyond the evening itself, many people leave with: * **New ways of connecting** - discovering forms of interaction that go beyond talking * **Greater body awareness** - more in touch with your own body, your yes, and no * **Self-knowledge** - understanding yourself more deeply through experience rather than analysis * **Confidence** - both in social spaces and in honoring your own boundaries * **A shifted perspective** - on how you approach people and relationships going forward You'll learn to take responsibility for your own experience, developing the skill and ability to shape what happens rather than waiting for the other person to create it. This often translates into presence, a quality that serves you far beyond dating. **THE EVENING** **Part 1: Embodied Moments of connection** You’ll meet a range of people through short, guided one-on-one experiences. By removing the pressure of choosing, we create space to simply be present and curious. Consent is explicit throughout. All exercises are invitations, you can always choose to do less or observe. **Part 2: Guided exploration with choice** As the group has landed and found comfort together, you now choose freely who you want to connect with. We’ll explore connection through: • Moving your body (dance, movement) • Mindful touch (soft, consensual) • Curious conversations • Observation & rest (take a break anytime) Touch and closeness may arise, if desired. The atmosphere is intimate but not sexual. No nudity, no pressure. PS: We don’t share the specific exercises in advance for a couple of reasons: to keep the surprise; because what we do depends on the group’s energy. See it as an invitation to trust and stay curious! [Tickets through House of Play](https://www.houseofplay.dk/special-events/softer-dating-1) **WHO IS THIS FOR?** People aged 35-55 looking for meaningful connections. Any gender expression, style of relating, and sexual preference welcome. **DO I NEED EXPERIENCE?** No! Beginners are very welcome. **DO I NEED TO BRING A PARTNER?** No, though it might be nice to bring a friend! **TICKETS** 280 kr for members 350 kr for non-members We offer a 20% discount to students and low income. Discounts cannot be used on top of other discounts. Please reach out to [info@houseofplay.dk](mailto:info@houseofplay.dk) [Buy Ticket](https://www.houseofplay.dk/special-events/softer-dating-1) Tickets are non-refundable. Be sure to read our cancellation policy and no-show fee [here](https://www.houseofplay.dk/terms-and-conditions) **CODE OF CONDUCT** Please read our [Code of Conduct](https://www.houseofplay.dk/code-of-conduct) before attending 1 of 4 Chilies 🌶️ Read about our chili system [here](https://www.houseofplay.dk/chili-system) **QUESTIONS?** *What if I don’t like an exercise?* You can observe instead. We encourage people to take care of their boundaries—it happens and we think it’s wonderful. *What if I feel awkward?* Awkwardness and shyness are welcome. You don’t need to pretend. Most people relax naturally after some time. *What about the gender ratio?* We can’t guarantee your preference will be there, but so far we’ve had a wide, colorful distribution of genders! *What if I’m paired with someone I don’t find attractive?* Softer Dating is about connection, not just romance. Can you bring respect and curiosity, even if there’s no spark? Also, know that you can always step out. **ABOUT THE FACILITATOR** Hi, I’m Philipp (call me Pyt). I’ve been creating intimate events and workshops for years because I love creating spaces where people can unfold and enjoy themselves. I work as a life coach and kink facilitator.

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at our Copenhagen Shut Up & Write! sessions. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, résumé, melody, poem, or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: - 15 minutes of hellos and getting settled; maybe some quick intros. - Then, the timer starts! : writing for 1 hour. - After the hour is up... chat / take off / keep writing, if you're on a roll. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens once the hour of writing is complete. Writing can be very solitary... connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. It's best to be on time, but BEING LATE IS ALSO OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check in with us after the session. (We’ll be the ones with the small Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. What Should I Bring? Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.

Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.

**🍵 Book Night: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid** We're gathering to look closely at The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, written by Taylor Jenkins Reid in an easy-going group where everyone contributes, and no two sessions ever feel the same. Read as much as you can before coming, and note a scene or passage that struck you, and bring your opinions — because you do not need to be an expert reader to have something valuable to say. The format is relaxed and member-led — with all opinions treated as equally valid, and the group's range of perspectives is what makes it work. This is an open group and new faces are always a good thing — and the group is warm and unpretentious in equal measure, the only requirement is showing up ready to talk, and the discussion gets richer with every new reader who joins. --- **Good to bring:** - Your best questions and your strongest opinions - A coffee or tea if you want one during the session - Notes from your reading however informal - A copy of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo to reference during discussion 💡 **A quick note:** read the last chapter even if you skipped the middle, as a single flagged scene is more useful than a general impression, and the conversation builds on it immediately. --- 🌻 Good books are better with good company — join us and bring your read and everything you need is already there when you arrive. The discussion starts when you arrive. 🌻

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
