Program Description

Event Details

The Danish word “Hygge” has no easy translation into English. It combines hospitality, coziness, contentment, mindfulness, and connection. Some claim that hygge is one of the reasons Denmark has often been ranked the “Happiest Country in the World.” But do you have to be Danish to “hygge”? Are you achieving “hygge” if you light a candle and wear fuzzy slippers? Come for a cozy evening (bring your own slippers) and see what tips from the Danes might be applicable in our own daily lives.
