About Hygge
Hygge means "a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being."
I host Hygge gatherings so we can come together to make new friends, discuss fun projects we're eager to work on, dive into deep, thoughtful discussions, and meet people who can help make NYC feel like a smaller, closer-knit community.
We bring our friends, family, coworkers, anyone we think would enjoy spending the day alongside a variety of curious souls.
In 2022, I began experimenting with hyggehiking gatherings, my own special blend where we engage in cozy conversations while trekking through the green spaces of our city.
