  • Meet Douglas Karunakaran, also known as Chocolate Daddie, a name synonymous with dance, personal growth, and community upliftment.
    As the visionary behind 5 dynamic ventures, Douglas exudes an unwavering commitment to bringing people together through dance and celebration. His businesses stand as pillars, fostering environments where individuals, both men and women, rediscover their inner strength and confidence, all while being enveloped in a sense of belonging.
    Douglas has transformed the lives of countless individuals, guiding them through powerful and rapid personal changes within the realms of self-assurance and purpose.
    Drawing from a decade of diverse dance styles, collaboration with world-class dancers, and captivating performances on numerous stages, he infuses his work with an unparalleled flavor and profound depth. What ignites Douglas most is his dedication to empower men and women to embrace their own power and authenticity, for he believes they are intrinsically intertwined.
    His ethos is elegantly simple: The more leaders become one with dance, play, and celebration, the greater the world becomes through their communities.
    In this mission, Douglas finds his true passion and purpose, a force that continues to shape lives and amplify the spirit of unity.
    In this podcast, we discuss Douglas's journey through life, and his battles with shyness that led to a love for dance. We speak on his battles of becoming lost in his masculinity and out of alignment with his core faith, his darkest days, where thoughts of ending his life were constant and how a return to his truth has blossomed into a wonderful relationship with himself and the world around him.

  • Rebekah recently came into Ellie’s life in a warm swirl of ritual, love and grounded openness. Their friendship, which coincidentally (or synchronistically, you decide) began at a nude photoshoot, took a recent turn for a greater depth when Ellie asked Bek to feature in her album shoot as the muse for Ankhara.

    This conversation touches on the magic of the warrior codes Bek has been receiving, as well as themes of death, animal companions, ceremonial living and a return to nature.

    If you’re asking questions about a life of magic, deepening connection with the natural world (including other people), and all things art and creativity; this is for you.

    Enjoy!
