The Art of Wintering Well: What is the Danish practice of Hygge?

Hygge (pronounced “hoo-gah”) is a Danish cultural concept centered around creating a sense of coziness, comfort, and well-being. It’s less about material things and more about atmosphere and togetherness. Hygge is considered a way to boost happiness and reduce stress, especially during long, dark winters. It’s about creating a sanctuary where you feel safe and content. We will explore the core principles of Hygge both with discussion and practices. Each date will be a “stand alone” workshop that will relate to but the will not directly build on other weeks. The workshop will occur on Saturdays from 10:00am -11:30am at Halcyon House.

Tea Talks: Co-ops Are Built to Meet This Moment

This tea talk will be a facilitated group discussion around how cooperatives operate and how they can be used for community support in our current political and economic reality. We will explore together how cooperation creates community, interdependence, and mutual support while focusing primarily on worker owned cooperatives (unless the group is more interested in other sectors). Darren Mozenter has spent over 20 years involved with co-ops, with a primary focus on worker owned cooperatives. He currently works supporting worker owned cooperatives throughout MN. Welcome to Tea Talks – interesting talks by interesting people about topics they are passionate about. We provide the tea and talks, bring your curiosity!

The Art of Wintering Well: Finding Connection in Winter

Winter can often feel isolating due to cold temperatures and less daylight. This can lead to more time spent indoors and reduced social encounters. We know (through research) that social isolation can have serious health implications. We also know that increasing social interactions can trigger endorphins which improve mood and resilience during the winter months. We will discuss and practice building connection. (p.s. you’re doing it by attending this workshop!) Each date will be a “stand alone” workshop that will relate to, but the will not directly build on, other weeks. The workshop will occur on Saturdays from 10:00am -11:30am at Halcyon House.
