Silvers Dinners: Collective community living with Marianne and Henning
Højen 22, 4000 Roskilde
**Next Edition: Christmas Theme! ** Marianne & Henning has over 30 years of experience in building community. They live in a senior collective in Roskilde, 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.
They have been married for over 50 years. Marianne is known in the community for her cooking, especially Italian food, which she has spent years learning and adapting. Their children live in Italy, so she also speaks some Italian. Henning is an education leader who enjoys showing people how the collective works: the shared spaces, the balance of the facilities and the mix of independence and community.
At dinner
You take a 30-minute train to Roskilde, followed by a short walk through the forest, and then you arrive. Before dinner they give a short tour and explain how society works, then sit around the table and share a home-cooked meal and conversations about the main themes from their lives.
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 from the choices they make and their life priorities.
