Silvers Dinners: See the sustainable world of expert Karen Blincoe

Karen Blincoe has spent over 30 years working at the highest levels of sustainable design and education. She has pioneered sustainability initiatives such as founding the ICIS Center and co-founding Chora 2030 in Denmark, published her first book: the A-Z of sustainability and human behaviour, and shaped national agendas. But what stands out is her presence: clear, generous, and brave as ever. Looking back on her life she says, “everything I was exposed to in childhood - the stories, the nature, the systems - became a foundation for a life in education, culture, and sustainability.” But that life didn’t unfold in a straight line. Karen always followed her intuition and it led her to places she never could have planned. Now, she opens her design home in Hornbæk for dinner with 8 guests. It’s not a talk or a lecture, but an invitation into honest, human conversation and a chance to reflect on the patterns that shape our lives. After decades in the sustainability field, Karen is still brave enough to question its core assumptions, and ask: What about humanity is making sustainability impossible? But this dinner isn’t just about sustainability. It’s about her life, her process, and how she sees the world. Shared in her own way. \ Human tip: Karen has the ability to make complicated ideas sound simple. You'll leave this evening understanding more of the patterns in the world around you. Everyone is welcome (across all levels, backgrounds, and identities), just bring your curiousity.

Silvers Dinners: Malaysian Food and Storytelling with Lian

Lian's dinners aren't about her, they are about you. As a longtime guide in transformation and storytelling, Lian’s mission is to create a space for guests to reflect, share and connect. Her role is not to speak about herself, but to guide a storytelling circle where your voice, your story, and your insights are the focus. Serving up a home-cooked Malaysian meal, Lian draws on decades of expertise to invite meaningful conversation around themes like identity, self-discovery, and finding inner peace. Her conviction is simple: we already have the answers we need, we just need to speak from the heart and be true witnesses. In her dinners, she makes it happen. This experience is slightly different to other Silvers dinners — rather than sharing her own life story, Lian uses her background to help others open up. It’s best suited for those who are curious about storytelling, personal reflection, and deep connection. Come as you are: beginners in storytelling are very welcome. About Lian Lian calls herself a Silver Crone — an older woman with deep wisdom and a desire to help others find their true selves. For over two decades, she worked as a transformation coach before shifting her focus to storytelling and deep listening circles. Lian’s work is shaped by her Malaysian-Chinese heritage, her background in writing, and a lifelong interest in how personal narratives shape identity, belonging, and legacy. She is the author of My Bumpy Ride to Inner Peace and is currently writing her second book, The Listening of a Grandmama. Lian has led storytelling and deep listening circles in diverse settings, always with an emphasis on reflection, authenticity, and shared human connection.
