• Hygge NYC

    low-key gatherings for the socially curious

     

    Hygge ("hue-guh"): a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being

     

  • What are Hygge Gatherings?

    Hygge is modeled after renaissance-style salon gatherings.

     

    Each gathering is an open invitation to the creatives, changemakers, technologists, nomads, entrepreneurs, and other kindhearted, delightful, and coastally curious people you think we should all meet.

     

    We'll have dinner, talk passions and projects, and meet those who can help. To make conversations with strangers easier and more fruitful, keep an eye out for our hand-written 'questions to spark authenticity' sprinkled on sticky notes across the tables.

     

    The force behind this event is passion, not business.

    We're here to make friends, not contacts.

    We believe everyone can teach us something.

    We are gathering to help one another do the most possible

    good with our projects, adventures, and connections.

    This is not a startup or networking meetup.

    It's an informal get-together of people seeking meaningful conversation and purpose-filled action in their lives.

     

    We hope to help you find it here.

     

    PS - We have a Facebook group

    πŸ‘‰ RSVP HERE πŸ‘ˆ

    From the main atrium of Brookfield Place (the large glass enclosure facing the waterfront/marina) take the escalators up to the food court. When you get to the top, keep walking straight ahead until you see the Chop't and/or Dos Toros, then look to the right and you should see us. We usually gather by the tables directly between those food stalls and the windows (above).

  • Want a website like this?

    I built this one in less than an hour using Strikingly. It's unnervingly easy to use. Just recently, Strikingly started up an affiliate program, so now I can earn a few bucks if you use my link to build your own website: https://www.strikingly.com/a/PthnW4

     

    I found Strikingly so easy to use that now, whenever I have a weird business idea I want to show to the world, I can spin up a website for it in less than an hour. If you really want to build a website, and need a little help getting started, I'd be happy to explain the basics to you, and talk through your idea along the way. I want to give to others the experience I would have wanted starting out, so please, use this link to grab a time for me to help set you up: https://calendly.com/stevedean
