Family Estrangement

https://www.facebook.com/korsgadesprogcafe/ Come and join our cosy language cafe. We recommend that you already speak some Danish (maybe around module 3 on sprogskole) so you can join and understand the conversation. We are mostly two Danes joining, so we can make two groups: beginners and more advanced. We are having conversations while drinking tea. If you have an exam coming up, we can speak about your exam subjects some of the time. Small donations (10-20 kroner) are appreciated, to support the rent of the place. You find us in the basement of Korsgade 19. It is a door to the right of the main entrance.

\*\*This gathering is now sold out\*\* We will be back in touch when we are ready to release details for the next one 🫶🏼 Making friends in Copenhagen can be surprisingly hard. Not because people are unkind, but because real connection often needs the right setting. **Across The Table Copenhagen** is our answer to that: a small, hosted dinner for women who want to meet new people in a way that feels natural, thoughtful, and a little bit special. For our first dinner, we’ll gather in a beautiful art space in Copenhagen for food, wine pairings, and guided conversation around the table. This is not a networking event. There are no pitches, no awkward name tags, and no pressure to perform. It is simply a warm, intimate evening with good food, wine, art, and conversation designed to move beyond the usual “Where are you from?” and “How long have you been here?” This event is for international women, Danes who have lived abroad, and anyone who wants to build more meaningful connections in Denmark. This event is designed to feel easy to join, even if you come on your own. The conversation will be hosted, so you won’t need to worry about breaking into a group or navigating awkward small talk.. **Included in your ticket:** Dinner Wine pairings A beautiful art space setting Hosted conversation A small, curated group of women **Seats:** 10 total **Ticket:** 750 DKK **How to reserve your seat** Please note that RSVP’ing on Meetup does not confirm your place at the table.

\*\*\* We will be changing venue every other week (from Main Library on Thursdays to Nørrebro Library on Fridays), so please check event details.\*\*\* **Dear Expat,** New to Copenhagen or eager to deepen your understanding of Danish culture? Join us for **Part 2 of our “Welcome to DK” series**, where we’ll explore the heart of Danish traditions, customs, and social etiquette—from *hygge* to local habits that shape daily life. This interactive workshop is designed for expats of all backgrounds, whether you’re a beginner or already familiar with Denmark. You’ll gain practical insights, share experiences, and connect with fellow expats in a relaxed setting. **Networking is a key part of the evening**, so bring your curiosity and leave with new friends and cultural confidence! Looking forward to welcoming you, **Maria Depesova** *Your Host & Expat Community Builder*

**Tired of small talk? Come meet new people meaningfully - the Authentic You Me way!** **\*\*\*Looking to grow your social circle? Join us for a welcoming, carefully crafted and thoughtfully facilitated experience of meaningful conversations that go beyond the small talk.\*\*\*** No business cards or job titles. No small talk. No pressure to perform. No intimidating crowds. \-\-\- We often hear how difficult it can be to make new friends as an adult and particularly when moving abroad; or when rebuilding social circles cos old friends have moved away or onto new life phases. . Socialising attempts often mean standing in a crowded room, wearing a polite smile, and answering the same three questions: *"What do you do?" "Where are you from?" "How long have you been here?"* Great for breaking the ice, but rarely leading to something inspiring or meaningful. It’s exhausting. It feels like a performance. . While the absence of authentic connection and meaningful conversations can sometimes leave us feeling a little lonely or like we don't belong. . **Authentic You Me** *was born with a desire to change that.* \-\-\- **Welcome to Authentic You Me**, the home of mindful, intentional socials we baptised as 𝗦𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 - our own thoughtful, refreshing and carefully crafted way of changing how we meet and connect with others. Join me for a carefully and lovingly curated slow-friending evening that is all about embracing your authentic self, connecting on a deeper level with like-minded people, challenging your perspective and sparking curiosity through stimulating conversations – all in a welcoming, non-intimidating & hyggelige setting. Designed to suit both introverts & extroverts. . . **\*\*\*Please note that this is a purpose-led PAID event. All funds go to cover admin costs, planning, hosting, materials and to raise awareness of the project\*\*\*** Please book your ticket by clicking [here](https://billetto.dk/e/meet-new-people-skip-the-small-talk-meaningful-conversations-only-billetter-1923786?utm_source=organiser&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=copy_link&utm_content=1) . **Who you will meet** \*A set of likeminded professionals, creatives and deep thinkers - internationals, globally-minded locals and repats, typically in their 30s and above, and who are seeking authentic connection. . **Sample agenda** 17:15 Doors open for sign-in and mingling 17:35 Official event kick-off & intro 17:40 Programme Part 1 19:15 Programme Part 2 20:00 Programme wrap-up . **No over-crowding.

​**Preparing people for a change that has no finish line.** ​Most organisations today have a plan for implementing AI. Far fewer have a plan for supporting the people navigating it. The uncertainty is real. The fear of becoming irrelevant. The sense of loss for how work used to feel. The paralysis of not knowing what comes next. Unlike previous transformations, this shift has no clear end state – no “freeze phase,” no finish line. Traditional change management frameworks were not designed for continuous, evolving disruption. ​This first **Human AI Circle** gathering at BLOXHUB creates space for a more honest conversation. It brings together change leaders, HR professionals, and AI implementation leads to explore what truly helps people move through uncertainty. Meet the panel: * **Sofie Henriksen**, Director, Head of AI Adoption, Todai: Guiding organisations through AI adoption, where it works and where it falls apart * **Ioanna Constantiou**, Professor, CBS: Researching why uncertainty, resistance and misalignment in AI transformation are not edge cases, but the norm * **Elena Constantini**, transformational COO, former Group SVP at the Adecco Group: 20 years leading large-scale transformations with commercial in discipline but human by design **What's on the agenda:** \- What earlier work transformations teach us about leading people through the unknown and where those models break down with AI \- Panel: Managing fear\, grief and paralysis in the age of AI\, learnings from real change initiatives \- Simulation with **Sara Høyer Kragelund** from Involved: Walk through how your way of working will change as AI evolves from tool to agent to operating system and leave with a personal backpack of mindsets and approaches to navigate what's coming Food included. Limited seats, attendance is by application.

Thanks to everyone who joined for our latest discussion of *Zorba the Greek* by Nikos Kazantzakis yesterday. It was wonderful to see both familiar and new faces, and I hope you all had a meaningful and enjoyable conversation. The next book to read is *[Nightwood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightwood)* (1936) by [Djuna Barnes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Djuna_Barnes). Set primarily in Paris during the interwar years, *Nightwood* follows a group of deeply entangled characters navigating love, obsession, longing, identity, and loss. Dark, poetic, and psychologically intense, the novel has become one of the defining works of literary modernism. A short description of the book reads: *Widely regarded as a modernist masterpiece, Nightwood explores desire, alienation, gender, and emotional dependency through some of the most lyrical and haunting prose of the twentieth century. It is also considered one of the earliest major novels to openly portray same-sex love between women.* You can read more about the book [here](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53101.Nightwood) and listen to it as an audiobook [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoAM5_gJNZw): Although *Nightwood* has never had a major film adaptation, the novel has had a profound literary influence. Writers such as T. S. Eliot, who helped edit and publish the book, praised its style and originality, and it has since become a cult classic within both modernist and queer literary history. For other resources on how to get a hold of classic books, please see the *[About](https://www.meetup.com/copenhagen-classic-book-book-club/)* section on the front page of the group. We meet up on **Saturday, June 13th, at 4 p.m.** The location will once again be the [Garden of the Royal Library](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Library_Garden,_Copenhagen). During the spring and summer months, we always meet outside here. If the weather turns rainy, we will simply move indoors. Please remember to bring your suggestion for the next classic book to read. And, as always, please be mindful and respectful of each other, so that everyone feels welcome and appreciated. In the meantime, happy reading/listening — or however you prefer to do it.

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at our Copenhagen Shut Up & Write! sessions. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, résumé, melody, poem, or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: - 15 minutes of hellos and getting settled; maybe some quick intros. - Then, the timer starts! : writing for 1 hour. - After the hour is up... chat / take off / keep writing, if you're on a roll. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens once the hour of writing is complete. Writing can be very solitary... connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. It's best to be on time, but BEING LATE IS ALSO OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check in with us after the session. (We’ll be the ones with the small Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. What Should I Bring? Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.
