Hey, my name is Birgitte!

ROOTED WORK
I believe that the underlying cause of our ecological disasters and many of the current crises lies in the disconnection from the natural world and other human beings that have been taking place over many years. It is a spiritual connection that has been lost. That’s why I founded Being in Practice to examine consciousness and presence in the intersection of art, ecology, and spirituality and find ways to reconnect to an animate world.
I am an art historian and have a diploma in cultural management. I have had a gallery, have been a museum curator and a museum director.
ABOUT ME
In recent years, I have shifted focus from ‘a career’ as a goal to having a sense of contributing to a movement. In 2021, I left my latest job position after seven years, because of a pull to do something completely different. Not knowing what that was exactly, I have had to reinvent myself. I have longed for this reinvention or rediscovery.
I set out to learn a bunch of new stuff, and I have done so ever since. I enjoy this state of being an apprentice, feeling new and open to whatever the moment holds.
I live at Stengaarden, in the middle of Zealand in Denmark, with the Bidstrup Forests as my neighbor. The fields of the farm have not been chemically fertilized nor sprayed with pesticides for more than 20 years. There is an abundance of wildlife. Stengaarden is also home for Islandic horses. I have a deep interest and love for animals and plants.

The fields of Stengaarden
Today I am guided by what moves me and what feels meaningful and urgent. I try to teach some of my findings to those who seek me out. I am fond of teaching and finding community in circles. I have written my first book and established Being in Practice Publishing.
Since 2014, I have followed Sisselmaya Øster's teaching and have been trained by her in healing and transfers of lifechanging energies. I pass on these energies to a group of people that meets six to seven times a year.
