Bouldering & social drinks [all levels]
On Tuesday, we’ll get together with climbers of all different levels to boulder and socialize at Monk.
We’ll arrive from 19.30h onward to introduce ourselves or catch up. At 20.00h, we’ll climb together as a group. If a lot of people join, we might split into two groups. Then around 21.00h, we will wrap up and go for drinks at the bar or on the terrace.
All you need to bring are sporty clothes and a water bottle. Keep in mind that you need to pay the entrance fee to the bouldering hall.
If you have never bouldered before, you might want to join our beginner group first!

Mannengroep Nijmegen
**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. Twee mannen met een open hart en een gedeelde missie: ruimte creëren waar mannen écht kunnen landen in zichzelf en in verbinding met elkaar.
David Gelsing
Is Toegepast Psycholoog en lichaamsgericht therapeut, gespecialiseerd in het begeleiden van innerlijke processen via het lichaam. Zijn kracht ligt in het verbinden van hoofd en hart, ratio en gevoel. Iets wat hij diepgaand leerde via zijn eigen persoonlijke transformatie.
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.

Steyn Maréchal
Is facilitator en communitybouwer met ervaring in het begeleiden van groepen, mannencirkels en processen rond persoonlijke ontwikkeling.
Hij heeft een scherp gevoel voor groepsdynamiek, brengt rust, structuur en uitnodiging in het moment. Steyn is altijd op zoek naar wat er écht speelt onder de oppervlakte en helpt anderen daarin tevoorschijn te komen.

Samen creëren ze een bedding van vertrouwen waarin kracht en kwetsbaarheid naast elkaar mogen bestaan.
Boardgame night #176
Boardgame night #176
The idea is: play a game, have a drink and chat with friendly people. We start around 20.00 with playing board games so that's the perfect time to jump in and play with us.
We will bring a couple board games, but you're also welcome to bring your own games.
Feel free to join, bring friends or family. We hope to play with you then!
You can also signup on facebook. Visit us at: [https://m.facebook.com/groups/463859440486833](https://m.facebook.com/groups/463859440486833)
Dyslexie Cafe Utrecht
Dyslexie Cafe Utrecht is er voor alle conceptuele denkers.
Voor mensen met dyslexie, hun naasten
en voor iedereen met een brein dat net even anders werkt.
Een plek voor ontmoeting en herkenning.
Hier hoef je niet uit te leggen
waarom je hoofd sneller denkt dan je hand kan schrijven.
Of waarom je ideeën grenzeloos zijn
maar niet altijd uitkomen zoals je zou willen.
Hier mag je binnenlopen
bij mensen die weten hoe het voelt.
en schaamteloos jezelf zijn.
Tijdens het cafe creëren we ruimte,
praten we over de krachten en de uitdagingen.
Niet hangen en luisteren
maar interactief ontdekken.
Soms met een thema.
Soms ontstaat het gesprek vanzelf.
De inhoud wordt mede bepaald door jou.
Kom en deel je verhaal, stel vragen en ontdek nieuwe inzichten met mensen zoals jij.

Feed an AI-agentic beast with proper data
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.

\- 18:00 Doors Open
\- 18:30 Start of the Workshop
\- 20:00 Workshop Closing & Announcements
\- 20:10 Networking

ArnhemJUG - June meetup
**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.

Stalker
Based on the novel Roadside Picnic, it is NO picnic, but rather one of the masterpieces of world cinema. Andrei Tarkovsky's 1979 Soviet sci-fi classic, recounts the expedition of a writer and professor led by a mysterious guide called "The Stalker." to a futuristic wasteland called "The Zone." Dripping with existential dread, it continually presents strange occurrences that will have us debating the meaning of what we've just viewed right through the ending.
*Stalker* (1979) can be streamed for free on HBOMax, the Criterion Channel or Kanopy. It's also available for rent on Amazon Prime and AppleTV. The Columbus Library has two copies on disc.
