A Wider Sense of Self | Ecstatic Dance & Cacao Ceremony

What becomes possible when we remember that we are part of something larger?

An afternoon with Cacao ceremony, reflection, sharing, breathwork and ecstatic dance—exploring our connection to ourselves, one another and the living world.

You don’t need to know how to dance or arrive feeling a certain way. Come as you are 🌀

As autumn gives way to winter, the world around us grows quieter. It is a season that invites reflection—not only on who we are, but also on what we belong to.
What if belonging is not something we earn—but something we remember?

This ceremony is an invitation to reconnect with a fuller sense of self: one that includes our ancestors, our communities, and the countless relationships that make our lives possible.
Through ecstatic dance, breathwork, cacao, storytelling, meditation, and shared reflection, we explore what becomes possible when we root our identity in interconnection rather than separation.

As our sense of self expands, so does our capacity to care. We begin to recognise that our well-being is inseparable from the well-being of the people, places, and living systems around us.
We are reminded that belonging is not only about finding our place in the world, but about making space for ourselves within it. As we learn to meet more of who we are with acceptance, our capacity to belong—to ourselves, to one another, and to the living world—can deepen.

💛 If your heart says yes but your finances say no, I’d love to hear from you. Together we’ll find a solution that feels fair for both of us. I’d much rather have you in the room than have finances keep you away.

💛A small note
Over the past few years these ceremonies have continued to grow in depth, care, and the time they require to create. To keep offering this work in a way that is sustainable—for myself, my family, and this growing community—I have adjusted the ticket prices for this season.
Thank you for supporting this work possible in Aarhus.
