What we’re about
The Elephant — Stockholm Salons
A monthly salon series for the conversations we're not having.
There's an old story about a group of people touching different parts of an elephant in the dark. Each one is certain they know what it is. They argue. They're all right. They're all wrong. Nobody thinks to ask each other.
Sound familiar?
The Elephant is a space for honest conversation about the things we all see but don't name — the questions that are too big, too awkward, or too obvious to bring up at dinner.
We gather monthly at Emerge Lakefront in Stockholm for aperitivo, a shared inquiry, and real connection. Different people, different perspectives, same elephant.
This group is for you if:
You're curious about ideas and how others see the world
You want conversations with more depth than small talk
You're comfortable with not having all the answers
You're looking for community that thinks together
What to expect:
Monthly salon events (The Elephant)
Occasional workshops on creativity and inner development
Intimate gatherings, limited spots
A mix of locals and internationals, different disciplines and backgrounds
Hosted by Dara Morgana — artist, facilitator, and TEDx speaker based in Stockholm.
Come curious. Come willing to be surprised.

This month's question: How do we act when the problem is bigger than any of us?
There's an old story about a group of people touching different parts of an elephant in the dark. Each one is certain they know what it is. The one holding the trunk is sure it's a snake. The one at the leg knows it's a tree. They argue. They're all right. They're all wrong. Nobody thinks to ask each other. Sound familiar? The Elephant is a monthly salon for the conversations we're not having. The things we all see but don't name. The questions that are too big, too awkward, or too obvious to bring up at dinner. Not a lecture. Not a panel. Just a room and a question. We're not looking for answers. We're looking for honesty. To discover we're all holding different parts of the same elephant. Come curious. Come willing to be surprised.
