Mantra circles
Singing together for inner peace and love
Mantra circles are a perfect way to get to know the power of mantras and singing together.
Ancient Sanskrit mantras are combined with simple, modern and touching melodies.
Mantras can bring us beyond the mind and touch the hidden parts of our beings.
Together as a circle we create space for a deep listening and connection.
Sometimes we are guided to let go of the past so we can let the present in.
The intention is to connect with our inner wisdom, peace and love.

Introducing Annika
Finding connection with music
I have been playing music and singing all my life and very early I started to write music when I was 13.
In the past I was singing in many groups as well as performing as a solo artist
and creating performances which dance, shamanistic arts and theatre.
Last 10 years I have been discovering the world of mantras as well as composing mantra music.
In I am blessed to play with my super talented sister Tea Ihalainen and Highway to Bliss.
In addition to mantra music I write 'normal' music, with the deep message from the heart and spirit.
My latest discovery is to create ambient sound worlds with my keyboards
- it is very soft and meditative way to play and it is easy to add long vocals.
My roots are in Finland but I live currently in Northern Italy with my beautiful italian-finnish family.
