Swimming lessons for adults | Beginners
If you are living in The Netherlands, by now, you may well have noticed the amount of open water. If you enjoy cycling in the city, you may wish to feel safer as you navigate the bridges and canals. And you may also want to get ready for visiting the beach, pools or the many lakes this summer.
Learning how to swim takes approx 1 year and it all starts with the very first lesson. New comers enroll via our website and pay € 30,50, this is the first lesson and a goody bag. After the class you agree with the personal swim coach how to continue to obtain your final objectives.
Enrolling is only possible via [www.your-personal-swim-coach.nl ](https://www.your-personal-swim-coach.nl/)hence a rvsp via meetup is not enough.

A Journey into the Soma - Mindfulness & Breathwork. Women Circle
𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆: 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸
Experience a deep connection to yourself through the power of Mindfulness, Somatic Work and the Connected Breath (also known as Circular or Rebirthing). In a small and intimate group of maximum four persons, you will be guided within for an inner journey toward the innate wisdom of your body and the natural aliveness of the Spirit.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆
🧘🏽 Mindfulness & Somatic meditation: a guided meditation I created to help you connect to your body, to its felt sense, to its joyful aliveness.
🌬 Coherent Breath, Connected Breath & Slow Breath: Align first with the body. Release stored emotions by allowing them, giving them space and meeting them with self-compassion in order to let go of them.
🍫 A small, and obviously optional, dose of truffle will be proposed. The truffle will lower the activity of the Default Mode Network in the brain, which may foster clearer insight and ease surrendering to the intensity of the breathwork.
Because the Connected Breathwork is a commonly viewed as a peak experience, it may be recommended to do some extra work to make sure that the content that have surfaced is properly integrated. I offer an optional Somatic Integration session, either online or in-person, a few days after the ceremony itself.
𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘄
• Walk-in and settling with a cup of soothing tea.
• Circle begins: intentions setting and somatic work.
• Coherent Breathwork.
• Guided Mindfulness & Somatic Meditation.
• Connected Breathwork followed by Slow breath to land back into the body.
• Sharing, Reconnecting and Refuelling with some tasty homemade food.
The session will last between two and a half and three hours.
𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
• Come with comfy and warm clothes as well as with any item that will enhance your comfort.
• Meditation cushion and blankets are provided.
• An empty stomach is always preferable for the Connected Breathwork.
Healthy and Vegan snacks will be supplied at the end.
• A notebook and pen, a bottle of water might come in handy…
• Everybody is welcome regardless of their experience with Breathwork however…
• Connected Breathwork is not recommended if you have one or more of the following conditions: heart disease, panic attacks, heavy asthma, epilepsy and high blood pressure. If you are following an anti-depression treatment and if you are pregnant.
• Walk-in from 11:45. The Circle begins at 12:00 and ends around 15:00.
• Address: Prinsengracht 155H, 1015 DR Amsterdam. 4th floor.
• Get directly in touch with me if you have any question.
The space being limited (although very comfortable for four people) I have decided, from direct experience, to offer a ceremony for women and for men separately as it seems to increase a sense of safety and connection between participants overall.
𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿
I am Jonathan. After having been working as a professional artist for the last ten years, I have left the solitude of my studio to follow the callings of both my intellect and my heart: combining a deep interest in the workings of the bodymind together with the realisation that I could create and hold a space in which one can meet oneself and find within the answers one is looking for. I am a certified Somatic Coach from the Somatic School of London.
For more informations about my practice: https://www.jonathanrouah.nl

I am looking forward to holding space for you! Are you ready to step into this adventurous journey toward yourself? If so… Reserve your spot now.
My warmest,
🙏🏻Jonathan.
Scalable Data Harvesting for AI
Every AI pipeline starts with one question: where does the data come from?
In this hands-on workshop, we'll answer that question using Scrapy, one of Python's most powerful web scraping frameworks. You'll go from a blank project to a working spider that harvests structured data from the web, ready to feed into your next AI or data science project.
We'll cover:
• Scrapy vs. lighter tools (Requests & Beautiful Soup), and when each makes sense
• Extracting data from HTML using CSS selectors
• Following links and handling pagination at scale
• Writing clean, structured output to a file
• The ethical and legal side of web scraping
Bonus (Gold Star): a chapter on scraping JavaScript-rendered pages for those who want to go further.
🐍 Python basics assumed — no prior scraping experience needed

\- 18:00 Doors Open

Data Thursday
𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 — 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 🌱
On **Thursday, May 28**, we are proud to host a special **Data Thursday** edition at **B. Amsterdam**:
**Cloud & Climate Pub Quiz** ☁️🌍
This will not be a classic sit-back-and-listen meetup.
This is a **taste-of-tech game night** where #climate, #cloud, #AI, #CO₂, #costoptimisation and a bit of controlled chaos come together in one big interactive quiz.
At **Data Tribes & EcoVerum,** we believe that climate impact, sustainability reporting and regenerative transformation all start with better data. This evening brings that belief to life in the most Data Thursday way possible: with sharp questions, practical insights, team play, pizza and drinks.
Your personal quiz masters for the evening:
👷♂️ **Henk van der Valk**
Platform & Intelligence Architect
👷♂️ **Marcel van der Kuil**
Data & AI Impact Engineer
Together, Henk and Marcel will join forces as **Buurman & Buurman for Cloud & Climate**, fixing things one quiz round at a time.
Think climate science, cloud optimisation, AI-assisted answers, sharp questions, practical insights and probably a few moments of **“A je to!”** along the way.
The evening includes three rounds:
🌍 **National Climate Quiz**
🌡️ **Climate Interactive EN-ROADS simulator**
☁️ **Cloud optimisation: cost, CO₂ and Scope 3**
Bring your laptop. Teams will compete for points, prizes and eternal Data Thursday glory.
AI is allowed, but beware: some answers need to be explained in your own words.
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺
**// 18:00** — Doors open + pizza
**// 18:30 – 19:15** — First round
**// 19:15 – 20:00** — Second round
**// 20:00 – 20:45** — Third round
**// 20:45 – 21:00** — Wrap-up / evaluation
**// 21:00 – 21:30** — Drinks & networking
**// 21:30** — End
📍 **The Henry, B. Amsterdam — B.1**
Johan Huizingalaan 763a, Amsterdam
A big thank you to **B. Amsterdam** for once again supporting the Data Thursday community.
Because without reliable data, there is no reliable climate action.
And this time, we are testing what grows when cloud, climate, AI and community come together.
Greetings,
Data Tribes Inc & EcoVerum

In PRANIC HEALING® Level 1, you learn the basics of working with your energy aura, including learning to "scan," or feel the energy, to "sweep," or clean away congested energy, and to "energize," or supplement areas in your aura that have a pranic deficiency.
PRANIC HEALING® has been taught to doctors, nurses, massage
therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, shiatsu practitioners, and many others in the healing field. It has allowed them to heal confidently and consistently in the shortest learning time possible. These professionals find PRANIC HEALING® very effective and easy to apply.
Other topics covered in PRANIC HEALING® Level 1:
Energetic anatomy: You will learn to work with the network of chakras, meridians and auras to accelerate the healing processes of your body.
Preventive healing: You will learn to remove the negative energetic patterns of a disease to prevent it from fully manifesting as a physical ailment.
Self-Pranic healing: You will learn to apply these healing techniques to accelerate your own healing.

You'll also learn how to address common problems as migraines and sinusitis.
Additionally, you'll learn to apply distant healing to loved ones who are not present in the room with you.
All PRANIC HEALING® courses are "experiential," which means that you learn by actually performing the techniques and exercises in class - on yourself and those around you. During class, all the principles will be explained thoroughly and you will practice the techniques exhaustively so you will be confident in your ability to produce positive results when you finish the course.
This is Day 2 of 2 Attendance at day one is required to attend day 2.

Free In-Person Events: How to Let Go of the Past and Move Forward
The emotional pain from past bad experiences easily lingers in the present, making it hard to enjoy life and create your future. Even when you think you've moved on, the negative emotions can be triggered, sending you back into the pain of that experience.
And we are talking about pain; emotions such as grief, depression, anxiety, fear (or terror), boiling anger, simmering resentment, feelings of shame, blaming and regret can leave you incapacitated to a greater or lesser degree.
In this local event we will be discussing the reasons why these past bad experiences have the power to affect you long after they occurred. We'll go over why the emotional pain can be so strong. We'll also discuss some simple solutions to overcome your emotional pain and be free to fully enjoy your life again.
Examples of painful experiences include:
* A broken relationship or divorce.
* Death or loss of a loved one.
* Death of a pet.
* A sudden shock or bad news.
* A betrayal.
* Being part of an abusive relationship.
* A bad injustice.
* Loss of a job, position or business.
* A grave illness or injury.
The negative emotions from these experiences don't just go away on their own. But the good news is there is a way to clear them out of your way.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.

**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.

"Metal Slinger" by Rachel Schneider
Join us as we discuss our June pick: Metal Slinger by Rachel Schneider!
Book description:
Even though she's not one of them, Brynn has spent her life among the Alaha, training to be a guard and waiting for the chance to attend the annual market hosted by the Kenta–the very same people who exiled her adopted community to a life at sea. Going to the market is a rite of passage eagerly anticipated by all young guards, but Brynn does not anticipate breaking a century-long peace treaty while there. Nor does she plan for the intense encounter with an enemy soldier that now threatens to unwind the fragile coexistence between their people–and everything Brynn once believed about herself to be true.
Brynn's loyalty to the Alaha is tested when the truth of her identity is brought to light by this soldier who's taken an oath to bring her back to where she belongs. Narrowly escaping death on the violent high seas, Brynn's connection to the Alaha is further tested when she learns about the world of magic she's been denied. She was once certain of her fate and where she belonged, but the dark, knowing eyes of this stranger have her questioning everything, including her heart.
Packed with knife fights and seafaring adventure, METAL SLINGER is the smash-hit start to the romantic fantasy duology, the Fire & Metal series
Want to Truly Heal from Emotional Trauma?
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.
