Our Story
This workshop grew out of friendship, trust, and a shared love for creating safe, transformative spaces.
We (Annika and Mer) first crossed paths years ago at the Ecstatic Dance Festival Holland. We had already seen each other at Odessa but had never truly connected until one short conversation changed everything. From that moment, four years ago, we knew a friendship was forming. Since then we’ve held space for each other in life, supporting our individual paths while staying deeply connected.
Ani entered our world through a singing circle she hosted at a friend’s house, a space that felt close, familiar, and deeply safe. Even though she was moving to other country the next day, she mentioned she was looking for a reason to come back to Amsterdam. A few months later, that reason appeared and she began co-creating singing circles at Karunika Spiritual Center. Since then, we (Ani and Mer) have collaborated on several projects and watched our practices weave together.
Annika and Ani have also known of each other for a long time, following each other’s work and waiting for the right moment to co-create.
This workshop finally brings the three of us into one space, weaving our talents and our friendship into a unified experience.
We are three strong, caring women who have built our practices on compassion, presence, and creativity. Together we offer three complementary disciplines: breathwork, DJ soundscapes, and vocal integration, to create an ideal container for exploring holotropic states in a way that is safe, grounded, and liberating.
Transformative Holistic Breathwork & Sound Healing Journey
A journey where breath and sound meet to guide you deep inside yourself. This isn’t a performance or a class in the usual sense. It’s an experience we hold together: a space to breathe, feel, release, and integrate.
Over 2.5 hours we’ll move through Transformative Holistic Breathwork, a multi-layered DJ soundscape, and live vocal looping. All designed to support you in opening, aligning and gently coming back home to yourself.
Breathwork
Mer will guide you through Transformative Holistic Breathwork, a circular breathing practice that’s gentle on your body but powerful for your nervous system. This approach avoids hyperventilation and focuses on safety, grounding, and integration. It’s a doorway to release, clarity and deep connection with yourself.
Live Soundscape
Dj Anica will weave a live DJ set of earthy rhythms, textured layers and spherical sounds to help you dive deeper into your process. Her sets are grounded yet expansive, drawing from music around the world to bridge what’s human and what’s divine.
Sound Bath
At the peak of the journey, while you’re still in an expanded state of awareness, Mer will guide a sound bath with crystal bowls and gongs. These deep vibrations help you begin to anchor the holotropic state back into the physical body, gently supporting the first steps of integration. The sound bath acts like a bridge: from the inner journey to a grounded sense of presence.
Vocal Integration
Ani will hold the integration phase with live vocal looping, an intuitive bubble of sound that soothes and settles you after the breathwork journey. Her voice layers and loops to create a soft landing place, helping your system absorb and integrate the experience.
Integration Circle
We’ll end together in a grounded sharing circle where you can speak about what came up for you. This is your space to gently translate the experience into insight, and leave feeling integrated and supported.
