We like to mix things up to keep it interesting and are open to almost anything: hiking, biking, camping, sports (no pressure), food, weekend trips, day trips, meditation, et cetera.

Got an idea for an event? Don’t be shy, share it! We're always up for something fun, weird, or wonderfully random. This group grows with everyone’s input, so let’s make it memorable, a little unexpected, and above all: fun!

Please only hit Attend if you're (almost) sure you can join. We often have full events with a lot of no-shows, while others are stuck on the waiting list. If you're not sure yet, just bookmark 🔖 the event (top-left in the app, or the bottom of the webpage). And if something comes up and you cannot attend, please change your RSVP to Not going.
After 2 no-shows at limited-capacity events, you might unfortunately be banned from the group. Let's avoid that and keep it fun for everyone! Thanks!

We also have a group that organizes events outside the Nijmegen region, across the Netherlands and occasionally abroad. Feel free to check it out: The Netherlands, Explore and More

Sun, Sep 7, 2025, 12:30 PM CESTSand, Heath and Forest Hike: Kootwijkerzand (partly silent walk)
Radio Kootwijk Parking, Radio Kootwijk
€5.00
A hike that takes us across the Veluwe, through Kootwijkerzand, the largest sand drift in Western Europe. Expect a mix of sand dunes, open heath-land and forest, a unique and varied landscape that feels different from anywhere else in the Netherlands. And the best part: you don’t even need a compass or a camel to enjoy it. 😉
📍 Distance: ~19 km
⛰️ Terrain: sand dunes, open heathland and forest, ~50 meters elevation (almost flat)
🤫 Partially silent walk: Along the way, we’ll walk some parts in silence (I think about half the hike). During that time there is no talking, so you can really tune in to nature and the moment.

Times & places

Starting point for the hike: 12:30 @ Parking Radio Kootwijk, address: Radioweg 9, Radio Kootwijk

Return time to Parking Radio Kootwijk: 17:00-17:30
This an estimate and may vary depending on our pace, breaks, and weather conditions. Please keep your schedule flexible just in case!

The location is not well connected by public transport. Apeldoorn Central Station is about 15 minutes by car.

If you want to ride along from Nijmegen, we have a car with room for 4 people (currently full) that can pick you up from Nijmegen CS Kiss & Ride @ 11:30.

Let the host know please :-)

Do you have a car and would you be willing to pick up people from Apeldoorn Central or somewhere else? That would be great! Let me know. That way we can increase the number of participants (to max 9 in total). Parking is 7.50/car, which we can split.

Price
Since no-shows have been an issue lately, I’d like to try asking for a payment in advance to cover the costs of parking and fuel if you are joining the car ride from Nijmegen or Apeldoorn. It will be a couple of euros, depending from where you want to join. When you join the event I will send a payment link using Meetup chat.
If costs are ever a reason for you not to join, contact me. We can work something out.

What to Bring

Comfortable walking shoes

Enough water

Maybe a packed lunch and enough snacks, there will not be any places to buy food

Weather-appropriate clothing

Sunscreen & sunglasses if the weather requires it

⚠️ No-show might result in ban: Marking yourself as "going" takes a spot away from others for limited capacity events like this. If you are marked as going but don't show up, you might be banned from both Explore & More groups.
⚠️ Cancellation: The event will be canceled in case of severe weather conditions (you’ll be notified in advance). You will get a full refund of course.

Fri, Sep 12, 2025, 8:00 PM CESTOpen meditatie avond bij Jewel Heart
Jewel Heart Nijmegen, Nijmegen
Since this evening will be in Dutch, this description is too.

Wil je je drukke week afsluiten en ontspannen aan het weekend beginnen? Dan ben je geheel vrijblijvend welkom bij de vrijdagavond meditatie van Jewel Heart. Deze meditatie heeft een licht en open karakter. Er is geen vaste groep of studieprogramma. Regelmatig horen we van de deelnemers dat er iets lijkt te ontstaan wat groter is. Een groep relatief onbekenden komt bij elkaar en er ontstaat een moment van verbinding en misschien zelfs wel van heling.

De meditaties bestaan uit drie delen. We beginnen met het gewaarworden van je lichamelijke sensaties. In een korter deel twee doen we loopmeditatie of lichaamswerk en in deel drie is er een eenvoudige, geleide visualisatie meditatie. Het geheel wordt afgesloten met een gesprek onder het genot van een kopje thee.

📍Jewel Heart, Hatertseveldweg 284, Nijmegen.
🕒Zaal open vanaf 19.30 uur, meditatie van 20.00 tot 21.00
Je bent van harte welkom!

Aan deze activiteit kun je per keer meedoen. Er zijn geen verplichtingen. Op vrijwillige basis kun je op de avond zelf een donatie doen.
