TICKETS HERE: [https://www.thesilvers.dk/](https://www.thesilvers.dk/) all ages and backgrounds are welcome! Book a ticket on our website, average 6-8 people join each dinner. \-\-\- **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 what they have learned through time. Now, they open their homes for a few guests at a time to share a homemade meal and life inspiration. *** **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. *** **Price disclaimer:** The ticket costs 400 DKK. The majority of the price goes directly to the host for food, preparation, materials and hosting. It also supports the development of Silvers as a small, independent project creating new Silvers experiences. [https://www.thesilvers.dk](https://www.thesilvers.dk) to book ticket.

We are a group of people meeting on Tuesdays to socialize around cooking and eating together. Usually around 40-50 people. Many are international students, but also other people join. The foodclub exist independent of Meetup, we invite you because we have room for a few more people. The food is vegan and made from donated leftover veggies from a local greengrocery. The place has originally hosted leftwing activist groups, and many of the people joining are also involved in political groups. If you want to join for chopping and cooking, we will be doing that from 3 to 6 pm. It is possible to join part of the time. From 6 to 8pm we are serving food. Donation around 30 kroner. If you are helping out some hours, chopping, cooking or cleaning, you can eat for free. From 8 to 9 - 9:30 pm we are cleaning up the place. We hope to see you in our lovely foodclub <3

Hello

Are you tired of the usual expensive and boring New Year's Eve parties? Join us for a unique adventure to start 2026! 🎆 I'm Francesco, a biologist and explorer. I have organized a 7-day trip to Romania (Dec 30 - Jan 6) that combines an authentic Urban NYE with a wild Road Trip into the heart of Transylvania. 🗺️ THE PLAN PART 1: The Urban Warm-up (Dec 30 - Jan 1) 📍 Timișoara: We will explore the "Little Vienna" of Romania. No tourist traps: we’ll hunt for hidden Jazz Clubs, drink fresh unpasteurized beer at the factory, and explore the communist history. NYE Night: We celebrate in the main square with the locals and fireworks, then move to a cool pub to welcome the new year. PART 2: Into the Wild Road Trip (Jan 1 - Jan 5) We pick up our car and head to the mountains! 🚗 🦬 Wildlife: We’ll track European Bisons in the snow at the Hațeg Reserve. 🏰 Gothic Vibes: Visit Corvin Castle (one of the spookiest and most beautiful castles in Europe). ❄️ Snow & Trekking: Base in Sibiu (Medieval city) + a day of accessible winter hiking in Păltiniș. 🧊 The Ice Hotel: Driving the legendary Transfăgărășan Road up to the frozen Bâlea Waterfall to see the famous Hotel of Ice. 👀 WHO IS THIS FOR? I'm looking for 2-3 chill, open-minded travel buddies (20-40s). If you prefer nature, good conversations, and a snowy adventure over a chaotic disco, you are the perfect fit! 💰 COSTS & LOGISTICS I have already arranged the logistics (Car Rental + Itinerary). Style: Low-cost but smart (Hostels/Guesthouses). Budget: We share the costs (Fuel/Food) and there is a fixed fee that covers the Car Rental and Accommodation for the whole week. 📅 DATES: Dec 30th to Jan 6th. 📍 MEETING POINT: Timișoara. 👉 HOW TO JOIN: This is a small group (max 4 people in the car). Send me a direct message here on Meetup or contact me on IG: pangolin_travel.

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.

Fulfillment. Joy. – Do you know what it is? Do you feel it now? Many of us are living lives that have “just sort of happened”. We had a dream, a vision (maybe we still do) for what we wanted our lives to look like. Somewhere along the way, life took over and something else ended up happening. We made decisions, took a turn down a path, and now our life isn’t what we thought it would be. Or we’re living someone else’s life. Maybe it’s what our parent’s wanted for us. What we believe our partner or a potential partner might want. Or maybe it’s what we believe we need to do and have to be happy. I was one of these people. My life checked all the boxes for what I thought I needed in order to be happy. And still, I wasn’t. Join me for a coffee talk on what it means to live a Life By Design. Where your choices are deliberate and based on your authentic, true self. What you have to let go off to achieve this (hint: the notion that vulnerability is a weakness and feelings of fear and guilt) and who you will become in the process.

Come join us for an afternoon run/jog/walk. We are not a typical running club, so please read about the concept in “about us”. How it works: we don’t know in advance where the trail will go, but we know it will be fun! A member of the club, the 'hare', sets a trail, usually marked with flour. The rest of us, the 'pack', follows the hare's 'scent', i.e., the marks. There will be a 8-10 km trail for runners with shortcuts down to 5-6 km for walkers and those who need a slower pace. We have no set pace - run/walk as slow or as fast as you'd like. After the run we enjoy some refreshments and socialize. All happens outside, so you need spare warm clothes for after the trail! Come a few minutes before the start so that you can say hi and leave your bag in a designated bag car before we set off at 14:30. Don’t worry if there are few registrations on Meetup. We have existed for 44 years, and a lot of our members (anywhere from 20 to 50 people) just show up. Four-legged friends are welcome! We never cancel. See you there!

I feel many of us want this, but don't exactly know how to go about it. I hope this helps a little bit. I also work as a transformational coach: I help people who feel stuck in their life to reconnect with themselves, create real change and ultimately live more fulfilling lives. 🔗 bento.me/pierrebonvalot
