The new year is moving fast, and with it come expectations, goals, and pressure to do more and do better. But what if, instead of adding more, you took a moment to come back to yourself? This gentle, guided breathwork session is an invitation to slow down, turn inward, and reconnect with you. Through simple, beginner-friendly breathing techniques, we’ll calm the nervous system, release tension, and let go of what you don’t want to carry forward into the year. We’ll begin with a short, science-based introduction to breathing techniques you can use in everyday life to support more energy, clarity, and a calmer, less stressed mind. From there, we’ll move into a soft, guided breathing flow designed to help you settle into your body and breath. The intention for this evening is simple: more you. Your energy, your intention, your way of moving through the year ahead. We’ll close with a warm cup of tea and a small snack, giving you space to land, connect, and leave feeling grounded, clear, and gently recharged. **Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls. We provide access to hundreds of experiences that explore your passions and connect you with other event participants. **Check our website to learn more, and apply to join our community and events**: [lesamis.cc/apply](https://www.lesamis.cc/apply)

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.

\*\*\* 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!** Are you... ...new to the city, a local, been here for a while or recently returned? ...looking to develop new meaningful friendships? ...tired of repeating yourself on "how long have you been here?" "so...what do you do?" questions at traditional networking events? ...craving for more deep conversations that go beyond the small talk? ...feeling a little lonely or out of place lately? ...on the look out for a new tribe cos your friends have either moved away or are busy with new phases in life? ...simply want to take your social networking skills to the next level? …and on top of that… \*You are in your 30s/40s+ and wondering where people your age hang out? If you have answered yes to two or more of the above, then you have come to the right place. **Welcome to Authentic You Me** 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.

Told with warmth, wit, and a healthy dose of self-awareness, the show explores the highs and lows of chasing a love story and asks the question: what if not getting the fairy tale is actually fine? Performed by an incredible cast of 15 professional, international singers, *Unhappily Ever After* is a true showcase of musical theatre talent. This is big voices, sharp storytelling, and embittered love ballads at their best, all delivered in an intimate cabaret setting. Featuring songs from *Waitress*, *Legally Blonde*, *Follies*, *The Last Five Years*, *A Chorus Line*, *Falsettos*, and many more, the show uses iconic musical numbers to help you celebrate Valentine's Day in a whole new way. Perfect for couples, friends, the happily single, the freshly heartbroken, or anyone who enjoys laughing at love while still believing in it (a little bit), *Unhappily Ever After* is a Valentine's show with heart, humour, and zero pressure to believe in happily ever after. Because sometimes, unhappily ever after is exactly where the good stuff starts. **Info om cast og produktion:** Host: Rachel Kador Dramaturg: Lasse Holmelund Jarbøl Producent: Maria Højrup Jørgensen Pianist: Ethan Nowack **Cast:** Anna Christine Bauer Clara Amalie Singerholm Christiansen Evan Kilgore Freya Uldal Jana María Guðmundsdóttir Jasper Thomas Kristen Flanagan Kristian Husted Melissa Bayern Olivia Jang Pablo Lara Rachel Kador Roger William Le Blanc Jr. Trine Marie Wisborg **About Cph Musicals:** CPH Musicals was founded in 2022 with the mission of promoting musical theatre and musicals in both Danish and English, so that more people can enjoy high-quality musical experiences.
