• 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 curious people you think we should all meet.

     

    We'll share meals, 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.

     

    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

    💁‍♂️Me

    I'm an NYC-based community builder, dating industry consultant, relationship coach, entrepreneur, and diehard superconnector. Creating deep, authentic connections across communities is what I do. It’s what I live for. I host salons, dinners, meetups, webinars, and coworking sessions across multiple cities in order to bring people together from all over the world to share their stories and build new friendships, startups, and movements.

     

    📱My Work

    For over 12 years, I've been a consultant to the entire dating industry, helping founders build and launch new apps, and coaching individuals through the complex world of dating and relationships. You can hire me to consult, coach, speak, or lead a workshop anytime through my website, Dateworking.

     

    🎧My Podcast

    I've been using my Dateworking podcast as a glorious excuse to talk to all my favorite experts and founders who focus on the art and science of human connection, sexuality, dating, relationships, and personal development! Listen here!

     

    🚀My Projects

    I've recently begun collaborating with other dating experts to produce dating & relationship insights, fun statistics, events, founder interviews, and live shows! My personal mission is to develop a new lexicon and better norms for modern dating and relationships.

     

    Explore to my library/newsletter of dating & relationship insights.

    Follow my news, events, and founder interviews on Facebook and Instagram.

    Hire me to advise your dating business or personal dating life.

    Connect with me on Instagram, Medium, Facebook, Twitter, and/or LinkedIn.

  • 💸 Tip your Host 💸

    Suggested: $30

    I keep this event free-to-attend so that it's easy for people to bring anyone they please without feeling like they're shoving someone's face into a paywall.

    That said, your donations are what enable me to actually look forward to doing this sustainably, year over year. Please be as generous as you are able.

  • 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
