Flourish Hour- January Session
Date: January 29, 2026 | noon
Theme: What Does Hygge Mean to You?
Session Overview: Join us on January 29, noon–1 p.m., (via Zoom) for a cozy virtual gathering centered around the Danish concept of hygge — a quality of warmth, comfort, and togetherness that fosters a deep sense of well-being. During this interactive session, we’ll explore the question, “What does hygge mean to you?” Participants will reflect on the small moments, rituals, and environments that bring a feeling of contentment, while learning how hygge can be incorporated into everyday life through experience from our fellow department members. Expect a welcoming space, meaningful conversation, and inspiration for creating more comfort and connection in the new year.
