Let’s gather in the sunshine for a relaxed afternoon of connection, good food, and creative conversation at Wilhelminapark! After our first workshop, this picnic is a chance to get to know each other more personally, reflect on our experience together, and enjoy a meaningful summer moment as a community. We’ll share stories, ideas, food, and inspiration in a beautiful outdoor setting. I’ll bring a whiteboard where everyone can share ideas for future community gatherings, creative meetups, and ways to stay connected between workshops. It will also be a fun way to get to know each other better, discover shared interests, and help shape the community together. I’ll bring a few simple games and conversation prompts to keep the creative energy flowing. ✨ What to bring: • Your favorite dish or snack to share • Your own drink (and something extra to share if you’d like) • A blanket or something comfortable to sit on • An open mind and your creative ideas ☀️ Looking ahead: Our next official Creative Circle workshop will most likely take place after the summer. In the meantime, this picnic is a wonderful opportunity to stay connected, get to know each other better, and explore ideas for informal gatherings and community activities between workshops. Whether you joined our first workshop or are simply curious about future events, you’re very welcome to come along. No agenda, no pressure, just a lovely opportunity to connect, relax, and enjoy a summer afternoon with fellow creatives, curious minds, and kind humans. 💛 This community is something we’re creating together, and everyone’s voice matters. 🌦️ Weather note: Dutch weather can be unpredictable! If rain is forecast, we’ll either move to a cozy indoor location nearby or reschedule to another date. I’ll post an update in the Meetup event and message all attendees with notice.

For the fifth chapter of *Pastime*, our journey through Dutch history moves into the **14th century**, and this time we’ll explore one of the most fascinating historic cities in the Netherlands: **Deventer**. 📍 Sunday 28 June — 14:00 📍 Meeting point: outside Deventer station Once one of the most important cities of the Hanseatic League, Deventer grew wealthy through trade along the IJssel river. Salt, fish and goods from all over Northern Europe passed through these streets, shaping a city that still today feels deeply medieval in atmosphere. During our walk, we’ll wander through narrow alleys, along crooked warehouses and beside the river that made Deventer rich and powerful. But this time, the story we’ll follow is not only one of commerce and prosperity. The 14th century was also the century of the **Black Death**. As plague devastated Europe, people searched desperately for explanations: was it divine punishment? Was the world ending? Or was society itself changing? Through the story of **Geert Groote**, one of Deventer’s most influential historical figures and founder of the *Devotio Moderna* movement, we’ll explore how the plague transformed the way people thought about religion, society and human life itself — changes that would deeply shape European culture in the centuries to come. This is one of those walks where history suddenly feels very close. The walk itself is around **5.4 km**, although please note that reaching the actual starting point from the station requires an additional \~20 minutes of walking through the city. And of course, as always, we’ll end with a well-deserved drink 🍻 After the walk we’ll stop at **DAVO**, Deventer’s best-known craft brewery, founded in 2007 and now famous throughout the Netherlands. Their philosophy is simple but excellent: every beer should respect the “3-pint rule” — after three beers, you should still want another sip. Whether you love hoppy blond beers, darker stouts or simply good company after a long historical walk, it feels like the perfect place to close the day together. Everyone is welcome 😊

Event planned for Sunday near the Diemen Station.
