Hygge (HOO-gah) Happiness
Advertisement
“In Denmark, winters are especially long, yet Danish people are considered some of the happiest in the world. They embrace the dark winter months with the joyful practice of Hygge (pronounced ‘HOO-gah’) meaning coziness, candlelight, nature, and meeting with friends.” - Emma Mitchell from Making Winter: a Hygge-inspired Guide to Surviving the Winter Months.
Enjoy an immersive experience, lit by candlelight, focusing on intentional happiness and community with Scandinavian-inspired arts and crafts, meditative coloring, peaceful music, a crackling fireplace, and hot beverages (bring your own mug, if desired.) You’ll gain some tips to create “hygge,” and choose from a selection of library books to bring home which inspire joy and relaxation.
A special limited edition Hygge tea blend will be provided by downtown DeKalb's Thyme 'N Again Apothecary. Local honey for our tea provided by Big Red’s Heavenly Honey.
This free program is for all ages. No registration is required.
