My lecture - storytelling is about self-love as an act of resistance in a world where feminism, female insecurity and inner dysregulation are central. I show how women as well as men can heal by balancing their boundaries, emotions and masculine/feminine energy. Real change begins at one place: connecting with yourself.

Self-love as Resistance
Storytelling by Ellen Worm

We live in a time when feminism is resurgent, femicide is being increasingly charted, boundaries are being crossed and many women - as well as men - are discovering that they don't really feel themselves.
In my lecture Self Love as Resistance I tell why these problems are not only social, but also deeply personal: they start where we have lost connection with ourselves.

Self-love is not a luxury.
It is an act of resistance.
A restoration of existence.
A reclaiming of inner security.

I talk about why so many women spend years pleasing, making themselves small or surviving instead of living - and why men, in turn, are often cut off from feeling, emotions, connection and softness.
The world is shot through in masculine, ego-driven energy: control, aggression, performance. We lack empathy, embodiment and we-thinking.
The result is a society out of balance.

Real change begins with inner connection.
Without that connection, we cannot create healthy relationships, safety and true equality.

What my lecture is about

Feminism today: not as struggle, but as awareness

Femicide and the reality of female insecurity

Self-love as the foundation of existence

Feeling and daring to set boundaries

Pleasing, adapting and surviving: how that comes about

The male and female energy in every human being

Why men need to develop gentleness and women need to develop strength

Connecting with yourself as a prerequisite for connecting with others

My own story

I share my journey from survival to life:
Growing up with attachment issues due to a mother who could not be emotionally present due to loss and trauma. As a baby, I learned not to attach myself - not to my mother, not to my body, not to life.

At age 25, I collapsed.
Then began a year-long journey in which I had to relearn how to feel, embody and exist, after 15 years of surviving on willpower.

This path shaped my mission: to guide people to inner safety, self-connection and strength.

What I teach people

In my pathways and ceremonies Marrying Yourself and the engagement process, I help people:

return to themselves

become aware of pitfalls such as pleasing, losing boundaries or living in your head

quieting the mind so that the body can be felt

make contact with their male and female sides

embody their soul more deeply

come home to themselves through rituals

With meditations, visualizations, grounding and the birthright mat, I guide them to an inner place of safety and love.

What the audience brings

A deep insight into the inner and social crisis of our time

An understanding of why feminism and self-love are connected

Recognition of patterns of surviving, pleasing and losing boundaries

Inspiration to come home to yourself

Tools for inner balance and connection

A story that touches, soothes and awakens
