✨Why I’m Hosting “The Art of Connection”✨

I’ve been exploring embodiment practices for years, but a few years ago something truly transformative happened. I discovered a simple yet powerful tool called The Wheel of Consent—and it changed everything for me.

I first encountered it when my dance teacher introduced me to a playful touch game. The idea was simple: ask your partner two questions—
👉 “How would you like to touch me?”
👉 “How would you like me to touch you?”

At first, I was intrigued. But then came my “aha” moment: I realized how hard it had been for me to prevent someone from crossing my boundaries. Too often, people would ask for one thing and then do something else. I recognized that clear communication wasn’t just nice to have—it was essential to honoring my own needs.

I’ve also seen this practice transform others. I remember a couple who told me that they rarely dared to express what they truly wanted because they were afraid of being judged—or having to be accountable for their words. Through this practice, they learned to hold space for each other, really listening and understanding, rather than assuming.

For me, connection is everything. I deeply believe that we all deserve safe, loving relationships where we can freely express ourselves without the burden of self-doubt. Our closest relationships should be a place where we are truly heard and respected.

And if you’re feeling a bit skeptical, know this: in this practice, you never have to do anything you’re uncomfortable with. Simply sitting together or gently touching hands can spark feelings and insights you never expected.

That’s why I’m so excited to invite you to “The Art of Connection.” In a warm, cozy space over a cup of cacao, we’ll explore these ideas together—celebrating love, setting healthy boundaries, and deepening our connections in a playful, safe environment.

I’ve been keeping this to myself for months… but now, I can’t wait to share it with you.

🌿 Imagine this: A warm, cozy space filled with candlelight, the rich scent of cacao in the air, and a circle of people coming together to celebrate connection. You hold a steaming cup in your hands, sitting next to your partner, friend, or maybe even a date.

Together, we’ll explore:
✨ Grounding meditation to slow down and feel present
✨ Playful movement practices to relax and connect
✨ A simple, eye-opening tool that will bring more ease and connection into your relationships

And I can already see it—you, smiling, sharing this space with us, feeling lighter and more connected. 💛

That’s why I’m thrilled to invite you to “The Art of Connection”—NOT your usual Valentine’s event, but a heartwarming, playful way to celebrate love in all its forms.

Oh my god, the last event was wonderful! I am so grateful to the beautiful women who joined the Hero's journey circle. Yesterday I learned that one of my colleagues wanted to also join, but couldn't. It's a pleasure to know that what I do resonates with people and serves their good.

What was noteworthy in this event: heroes' journeys don't always end up exactly the way we imagine and therefore we should rather focus on goals that are state-like and dig deep into why we want certain things, not stick to the exact form.

This insight is also very topical for me. I set the event for Valentine's day, and then I postponed it for the weekend. And finally decided to cancel. Why? I estimated my capacity for the upcoming weeks and realised that it's an important time for me to invest more time into mindfulness practice and events related to it. Ceremonies are mainly my art-like projects, they are not exactly a main source of my income at the moment, but rather something I want to share with the public. It's an important revelation for me. To differentiate the things that I do for sustainability and other things that I do for the good of humans and mainly my own pleasure :) I had many projects like this before but didn't realise it was the case.

I wonder if you resonate with what I'm saying?

Still, I want to continue these magical events and I promise there will for sure be one in March. I imagine something deeply nourishing and around the topic of love. Are you curious?

Please, feel free to share your thoughts - I would love to connect!
LOVE,
Olenka

Happy New year and Merry Christmas, dear people!

I have had a wonderful time celebrating, unfortunately not in Ukraine as I would wish to. My New Year's eve happened in Tbilisi. I shared the magical night with my beloved. And the Christmas (which Ukrainians still celebrate on Jan 7, if you didn't know), I had the honour to share with my friends in Vienna. We made 12 traditional dishes and shared some lovely stories and laughs.

I wish anyone can visit free Ukraine next year. I wish that your year would be as colourful and international as my holidays. And I wish us many meetings and beautiful evenings together, no matter where we are in the world.

Love, Olenka

I am so grateful to the wonderful people who joined the past Cacao&Consent event. As a space holder, I’m always very gentle towards the processes of each individual who joins and I’m every time aware that each
space is unique. But I never stop being surprised by the beauty that the wholehearted presence of people can create.

Thank you for showing up as you are and thank you for your beautiful words. I’m a gift to support you in your process. Many important things were brought to light and I hope they will bring needed transformation to your daily lives.

Sharing some feedbacks with you 🥰
