ecstatic dance
Ecstatic Dance is a health protocol that invites you to surrender to the music, moving authentically in tune with your body’s needs. As dancers let their bodies speak instead of words, a revelation unfolds — they aren’t merely moving, but rather, they are being moved. The dance takes over.Ecstatic Dance encourages you to break free from stagnant patterns and transcend limitations in your life. Come and witness the healing power of conscious dance — a path Ilo has pioneered in Finland since 2010, planting seeds for a movement that continues to ripple through hearts and dancefloors today.
Sound, Cacao & Shamanistic ceremonies
Together with Valonlehto, Ilo co-creates sacred ceremonies that weave Guaraní (Brazil), Q’ero (Peru), and Finnish shamanic traditions into powerful spaces for self-exploration and transformation. Through the elements, directions, and the spirit of nature, we reconnect with our inner power, strengthen vision, and invite deep healing.We have guided intimate circles as well as large-scale ceremonies, where sound, silence, and intention unite as medicine. In 2024, our collaboration with the legendary Finnish electro-jazz group RinneRadio resulted in an unforgettable event, beautifully integrating a cacao ceremony with an exhilarating Ecstatic Dance. This extraordinary gathering attracted participants from wildly different scenes, creating a vibrant fusion of sacred ritual, community spirit, and innovative soundscapes.Let us hold space for you.
