Ceremonial work, the healing power of sound, and deep presence
Thank you for being here — welcome into a space of healing currents, stillness, and deeper connection.
The ceremonial and healing work I offer invites you to pause, listen, and remember who you truly are. My work is rooted in shamanic traditions, the healing power of sound and vibration, and a heart-centered, safe space where you can meet yourself gently and at your own pace.
The ceremonies and treatments support you in releasing what no longer serves you, strengthening your connection to your own inner power, and opening space for the new — for harmony, clarity, and the natural flow of life.
My offerings include:
• Sound Healing Ceremony
• Sound Healing Ceremony & Ceremonial Cacao
• Despacho Ceremonies
• A Sacred Journey into Creativity – Painting Workshop
• Forest Embrace – Shamanic Sound Journey
• Ceremonial Cacao
Sound Healing Ceremony
Sound Healing Ceremony & Ceremonial Cacao
Welcome into the embrace of sound, vibration, and a safe, held space.
A sound healing ceremony is a holistic journey where soul-led music and healing sounds gently nurture you on the levels of body, mind, and energy. Sound moves through you, releasing what is old and no longer needed, inviting in harmony, clarity, and new visions.
The ceremony invites you into deeper presence and strengthens the connection to your inner self. This is a journey back to your own center, your natural rhythm, and your inner power — to the place where the answers already reside.
During the ceremony, a sacred and safe space is held for you, and personal intentions are set for the journey. Shamanic and intuitive instruments gently guide you toward your inner wisdom. At the end of the ceremony, there is time for writing and, if you wish, shared reflection, allowing the messages of the journey to settle and integrate into everyday life.
Price:
Sound Healing Ceremony €120 / min. 1 hour
Sound Healing Ceremony & Ceremonial Cacao €160 / min. 1.5 hours
The ceremony can also be held via Zoom, regardless of location.
Despacho Ceremonies – in the Spirit of Northern Nature
A despacho ceremony is a beautiful and powerful prayer for life, connection, and Mother Earth. It is a way to give thanks, to celebrate, and to restore balance — while strengthening intentions and inviting harmony into new beginnings. In my work, I weave together Peruvian Q’ero tradition with Nordic heritage and mysticism.
Ayni despacho ceremonies are well suited for occasions such as birthdays, weddings, naming ceremonies, new phases of life, communities, places, or as part of a healing process.
For new work, businesses, or projects, a tailored Venta Despacho ceremony can also be created, inviting clarity, success, and supportive flow.
The price of a despacho ceremony is determined by the situation and the size of the group.
For community-based projects and ceremonies connected to nature and the forest, the work is offered in the spirit of Ayni, with pricing based on donation.
A Sacred Journey into Creativity – Painting Workshop
This workshop invites you to dive into the heart of creativity and experience the free flow of creative energy. Through a variety of gentle practices, we softly descend into connection with our own inner creativity.
The workshop can also be combined with a cacao ceremony. Once the space is opened and the flow begins to move, each participant paints on their own canvas — in silence, intuitively, and without striving or performance. This is a journey into the colors of your soul and into pure creative power.
Price varies according to group size and duration — please get in touch for more details.
Forest Embrace – Shamanic Sound Journey
Forest Embrace is a ceremonial journey created in collaboration with Ilo. Together, we hold a sacred space for self-inquiry, weaving influences from Q’ero and Guaraní traditions with Finnish shamanism.
We work with the forces of nature, the elements, and the cardinal directions, strengthening vision, inviting love, and deepening understanding of one’s own path. During the sound journey, shamanic and modern instruments gently guide you toward inner wisdom and deep listening to the soul.
Ilo has been creating transformative sound journeys since 1998 and facilitating ceremonies and circles since 2011.

Ceremonial Cacao – Organic, Sourced from Peru
Ceremonial cacao is high-quality, minimally processed, and pure cacao mass that has been used in ritual and spiritual contexts within Central and South American traditions for centuries — even millennia.
In contemporary ceremonial work, cacao serves as a heart-opening ally, supporting heart connection, grounding, inner listening, and creative processes. It gently helps you settle into the body and the present moment, deepening connection to yourself and the world around you.
I offer organic Peruvian ceremonial cacao for both ceremonial and personal use.
Price:
1 kg 110 €
0.5 kg 65 €
Ceremonial cacao is also available in smaller quantities — feel free to get in touch for more information.
