Event planned for Sunday near the Diemen Station.

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.

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.

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. 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 Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center.

Why are we unhappy? Where does emotional pain come from? Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few. How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again. So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that. Come join us! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.

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.
