The art of hygge is therefore also the art of expanding your comfort zone to include other people.

Sometimes getaway is less about escapism and more about presence and finding place.

This is why we gather together. Leaning into connection, belonging, and allowing ourselves to be authentically known is essential to a life well lived. When this becomes rhythm, we find more joy, often feeling ourselves more alive, more inspired, more contented.

It’s why we created The Hygge Dinner— creating atmosphere for meaningful connection is what we do. Combined with nourishing, locally sourced eats and coziness inherent with the autumn season, this is truly the time to gather together.

We’d love you to join in this elevated experience to savor the season. Bring a friend or come solo. The evening is planned with you in mind.

Shades of muted, sage greens, natural elements, and a moody outdoor backdrop inspired this neutral holiday tablescape.
Perfect for a cozy gathering with friends and family.

Hygge is more than an aesthetic, it’s about togetherness and meaningful connection. The table sets the atmosphere, the people present do the rest.

The rogue, non-reel post. It’s been a minute since we’ve posted just photos but these need to be shared.
(And drop a ♥️ LIKE ♥️ if you still enjoy a more traditional IG post).

Hi, I’m Kim, curator of cozy gatherings and creative soul behind The Hygge Gathering.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐡𝐲𝐠𝐠𝐞 (pronounced 𝒉𝒐𝒐-𝒈𝒂𝒉)? 𝐇𝐲𝐠𝐠𝐞 is a Danish way of life embracing coziness, contentment, and connection— all of these support the lifestyle I want for my family.

I think others want these, too— maybe they are just encountering the language to their desires. That’s how I felt when I first learned about hygge: Wow, here’s what I’ve been hungering for and needing.

A hygge home is characterized by intentionality and togetherness. Connection is the heartbeat, with self and others.

➡️ Aren’t these clouds just magical? We traveled to this summer— what a truly magical little beach town. The water is clear & sparkly gorgeous, the clouds breathtaking, and the pace just a little slower than other Florida beaches. Highly recommend for a hygge away experience.

Hygge was never meant to be translated-- it was meant to be felt

Hygge was never meant to be translated-- it was meant to be felt. --Pia Edberg, The Cozy Life: Rediscover the Joy of the Simple Things Through the Danish Concept of Hygge

Hello, so glad you are here.

The Danish practice of hygge (pronounced "hoo-gah", mostly closely translated to “coziness”) discovered Kim while she was transitioning out of a dark season of depression and anxiety. Hygge means so much to her because it continues to help her live in right place with her mental health.

Depression and anxiety still live with Kim, but her lows are not as low, bad days come much less often, and bounce back is so much better. Practicing a lifestyle of hygge helps her to slow down, think, and embrace where she is right now. Hygge calls Kim to seek margin. She desires space—to pause, think, rest, to be present. It’s not always come easy, because distraction and avoidance are easy, familiar friends!

Key to the heart of hygge is gathering. Gathering in person, face to face, to see others and to be seen. To know and be known. Because lack of connection, feelings of loneliness and isolation, they are real. We are more connected today, yet so much more disconnected-- from ourselves and each other.

At the hygge gathering, we desire to push back against loneliness and circle up. This Forbes article, penned in May 2019, highlights, “loneliness is the number one fear of young people today—ranking ahead of losing a home or a job.” From my own personal experience with depression and anxiety, loneliness exacerbates mental health issues. As Forbes also mentions, this report on the State of Women’s Wellness from 2017, 42% of women reported feeling more afraid of loneliness than they are of cancer.

SO, Kim launched the hygge gathering to facilitate women gathering-- regularly, intimately, intentionally, with a spirit of inclusiveness to build each other up.

This sounds great! How can I be part of this? Great question! We are here to connect and gather women. We do that by partnering with businesses to help make that happen. We especially love partnering with local, women owned & operated businesses.

Kim is affectionately called “The Martha Stewart of community,” by family, friends, acquaintances. She loves to connect, gather, host. She desires to help you achieve your goals. Maybe you want to attract new clients and customers, or establish loyalty with current or past. Maybe you want to raise your platform, expand your reach, or grow to the next level.

You may have the best marketing, logos, design, shop, product(s), promotions and still not meet your goals because of lack of community support. In age shopping online and global market, businesses have to answer the question, “Why should I shop with you?”

Let’s make it an easy decision for folks to patronize your shop, use your services, and invest in your expertise. Get on the front lines of connecting women, engage in social enterprise practices, and demonstrate your support of bringing women together. For their benefit, and yours.

Anything that we can do to help foster the intellect and spirit and emotional growth of our fellow human beings, that is our job. Those of us who have this particular vision must continue against all odds. Life is for service. - Fred Rogers

You cannot buy the right atmosphere or a sense of togetherness. You cannot hygge if you are in a hurry or stressed out, and the art of creating intimacy cannot be bought by anything but time, interest and engagement in the people around you. ― Meik Wiking, The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well
