Silvers is a project of dinners hosted by the senior generation, to give people access to their authentic stories and knowledge. Based in Copenhagen and now also in Aarhus (woohoo!!!).

We have been building this project in Copenhagen, but Gillian reached out and asked if she could bring it to Aarhus.

So together with Gillian, we are here! this is the first Silvers Dinner in Aarhus, hosted by Gillian.

Born in Guyana and now living in Højbjerg, she brings both her South American roots and 40+ years of experience across continents to the table.
Guyana is known as a melting pot of cultures: Indigenous, Indian, African, Chinese, and European and its food reflects this blend. Gillian grew up cooking dishes across traditions, from curries and noodles to pepper pot, the beloved cassava stew of her Indigenous heritage (which she will make for you!)

At this dinner, she’ll serve a home-cooked Guyanese meal and share stories from her life: moving to Denmark at 19, building a career in teaching and academia, and navigating challenges with resilience and curiosity.

Gillian is a natural storyteller who loves conversation, food, and people. Hosting has always been a part of her life, at one point she even dreamed of opening a café to share Caribbean hospitality.

Hope to see you on board!

    Silvers is a project of dinners hosted by the senior generation. To give people access to the authentic stories and knowledge of senior people. Based in Copenhagen.

    Every Silvers Dinner is hosted by someone who has lived a full life and wants to share the wisdom they have earned.

    Now, they open their homes for a few guests at a time to share a homemade meal and life inspiration.

    This dinner takes place in a collective community in Roskilde, hosted by Marianne and Henning. The community was designed and built in 2009 with a focus on architecture and collective life, it has a waiting list of several years to join. It is inspired by research on housing for active seniors in Japan, the Netherlands, Canada and Denmark. It's a community designed and run by the people who live there.

    You take a 30-minute train to Roskilde, followed by a short walk through the forest, and then you arrive. Before dinner, they’ll give a short tour and explain how the community works, then you will sit and share a homecooked meal over life conversations.

    About Marianne and Henning:
    Marianne and Henning have been married for over 50 years. They live in the collective by choice because they wanted this lifestyle. Marianne is known in the community for her cooking, especially Italian food, which she’s spent years learning and adapting. Their children live in Italy, so she also speaks some Italian. Henning is an educational leader who who enjoys showing people how the collective works: the shared spaces, the balance of the facilities, and the mix of independence and community.

    They have been hosting company for many decades now, and they like to talk about food, life, and what makes a 50 year marriage work. For them, joy comes people and growing their community.

    Price disclaimer: The ticket costs 400 DKK. The price goes directly to the hosts for dinner, beverages, and hosting. A small amount also supports the development of Silvers as a small, independent project creating new Silvers experiences.

    This next evening takes place at Claire’s home by the lakes in Østerbro.
    Claire is a Jamaican artist, teacher, and storyteller who has lived in Denmark for over 30 years. She is part of the senior generation and brings decades of experience. She is one of the most creative minds we have been lucky enough to meet with this project, always thinking of what she can invent or create from scratch.

    The evening includes a homemade Jamaican meal, Jamaican coffee (and optionally rum), and desserts like coconut drops and biscuits. You’ll eat together while Claire plays Jamaican music and presents stories from her life in Jamaica.

    At some point during the evening, Claire will move on to guide a small creative crafts activity, a chance to work with your hands, continue the conversation, and be guided by Claire's passion and expertise. The atmosphere is informal, curious, and shaped by own Claire’s life experience and perspective.

    They are two wise senior leaders with separate high level careers who’ve spent a lifetime building, leading, and making things (at all levels). As a married couple who have pushed each other throughout their careers, and now in retirement to pursue their personal passions- they have unique perspectives on life, people, and purpose.

    The theme for this dinner is hobbies*.* Each person brings something to share about what they do outside of work (a project, an object, or just a story), and Lisbet and Michael guide the evening over a homecooked meal.
