About this Event
Breathwork + Soul Purpose Activation + Filipino Ceremonial Traditions
Join us for an evening of sacred breath, sound, and ancestral wisdom designed to reconnect you with your soul’s deepest truth. Through the power of traditional Filipino energy healing, soul-aligned breathwork, and immersive soundscapes, you’ll be guided into a state of release, renewal, and activation.
✨ What to expect:
Step into a safe, nurturing container where the rhythm of your breath merges with the healing currents of ancestral energy. Old patterns, heavy emotions, and stagnant energy are invited to clear, creating spaciousness for love, joy, and authentic presence to flow more freely.
🌿 The journey:
Led by Michael Barrios and Ilana Brown, this shamanic experience interlaces traditional Filipino ceremonial practices with sound healing and transformational breathwork. Together, they create an intentional space where deep emotional clarity can arise, stored trauma can unravel, and a renewed sense of purpose can be restored.
🌌 Why join us:
This is a sober psychedelic journey—a natural pathway to profound states of consciousness without substances. Breath becomes the medicine, sound becomes the guide, and your own body becomes the portal to awakening your highest self.
Come as you are. Leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more deeply connected to your soul’s calling.

ILANA BROWN
Ilana Brown is a Holistic Feminine Embodiment Coach, ceremonialist and healer devoted to the art of becoming. She works with people who are in seasons of transition, emergence, or soul-deep awakening—guiding them back to their hearts, their bodies, and their truth. Through a blend of Filipino folk healing, feminine energetics, somatic healing, and subconscious reprogramming, she holds sacred space for transformation that is both mystical and grounded.
Her path has taken her across oceans and timelines—from terreiros in Bahia, Brazil to ancestral farmlands in Ajuy, Philippines—in search of authenticity and alignment. With a unique ability to bridge the spiritual and the strategic, Ilana draws from nearly a decade of experience as a strategist in the corporate world—crafting brand strategies for global companies—before answering a deeper call.
A spiritual awakening in Havana, Cuba catalyzed her shift from external achievement to inner alignment, initiating years of study in somatic healing, energy work, land-based ritual, and ancestral remembrance.
Ilana’s work is rooted in the wisdom of the land and the body. For years, she stewarded Engkanto Garden Farm, a half-acre sanctuary devoted to healing, ceremony, and feminine remembrance. That chapter taught her how to grow not just plants, but people - tending inner landscapes with the same reverence she offered the soil.
Now in a new season of life, Ilana is walking her own path of emergence. She brings with her the medicine of integration - having moved through initiation, loss, and rebirth - and now supports others in navigating their own thresholds with grace, clarity, and soul.
Born to a Filipina mother and a Jewish father, Ilana was raised between worlds, languages, and ways of knowing. That in-between space shaped her gift: the ability to bridge. Ancestral and modern. Spiritual and practical. Seen and unseen.
Ilana is known for her grounded presence, poetic clarity, and ability to translate ancient wisdom into embodied, actionable insight. Her mission is to restore harmony in relationships—romantic, familial, ancestral, and organizational—by honoring the body, tending the soul, and remembering the sacred in all things.
Whether in intimate circles, sacred retreats, or 1:1 mentorship, Ilana creates containers for women to remember who they are beneath the noise—to return to the body as oracle, the heart as compass, and life as a sacred unfolding. Her work is not about fixing, but about becoming—whole, rooted, and radiant.
