Step into a world where the wisdom of the past merges with the consciousness of the present. Ankhcestory is more than an event; it is a sacred journey through time, space, and spirit. In a special collaboration with Shared History of the World, and supported by Fonds voor Cultuurparticipatie and Ocan, we invite you to experience an evening that bridges generations, reconnects us with the roots of our existence, and honors the stories that shape us.

On December 5, 2024, we will gather at De Koning, Amsterdam, for an exclusive dinner show and a nostalgic, spiritual experience unlike any other. Through the power of ancestral stories, live music, theater, and ceremonial rituals, you will be guided on a journey of rediscovery—a return to the essence of who we are and where we come from.

This evening celebrates the enduring strength and beauty of our heritage, while also challenging us to break free from the labels that have been placed upon us. Ankhcestory calls on us to remember who we are—beyond time, beyond place, beyond space. In partnership with Shared History of the World, we explore untold stories, deep truths, and forgotten wisdoms that continue to resonate within our souls.

Through Mu-Healing, meditative African drums, and the powerful energy of the Ankh, we open the doors to a deeper understanding of ourselves and one another. As we partake in this transformative experience, we honor our ancestors and together embark on a new path—one of unity, strength, nostalgia, and spiritual awakening.

The Origin of the Name ‘Ankhcestory’

The name Ankhcestory is a powerful fusion of symbolic elements deeply rooted in ancestral wisdom and spiritual connection. It represents not only a tribute to the past but also an invitation to reconnect with the essence of who we are.

Ankh:
The first part of the name, ‘Ankh’, refers to the ancient Egyptian symbol that represents the key to life. The Ankh stands for immortality, life force, and the connection between the visible and invisible. In this event, the Ankh symbolizes our journey back to our origins and serves as the key that unlocks the stories of our ancestors.

Ancestor:
The second part, ‘Ces’, comes from the word ‘ancestors’. It reminds us of the unbreakable bond we have with those who came before us. The wisdom, stories, and experiences of our ancestors continue to live through us. Ankhcestory is a tribute to this connection and an opportunity to breathe new life into the stories of our forebears.

Story:
The final part of the name, ‘Story’, emphasizes the power of storytelling. Through stories, we bridge the past and the present, and by retelling these stories, we keep our heritage alive. Ankhcestory is about sharing the stories that have been passed down to us, stories that help us understand who we are.

The Meaning of the Name
Ankhcestory symbolizes the sacred journey we all embark on—a journey back to the core of our being. It calls on us to use the Ankh as the key to open the doors to ancestral wisdom. This event is an opportunity to celebrate our roots, honor our origins, and face the future with renewed strength.

In collaboration with Shared History of the World, Fonds voor Cultuurparticipatie, and Ocan, Ankhcestory emphasizes the revival of forgotten stories and strengthens the unbreakable bond with our ancestors. We do not just travel through time—time travels through us, and the stories of the past hold the key to our strength today.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of connection, reflection, nostalgia, and celebration. Ankhcestory is more than an event; it is an awakening, a rebirth, and a reconnection with the essence that lives within us all.
