My journey, much like the world around us, has been one of profound questions and transformative discoveries. I felt the powerful forces shaking the planet, asking myself: Will we choose fear and darkness, or love and hope in our everyday lives? What’s our role in all of this?
These questions sent me on a path of seeking, a pilgrimage that took me across continents and into the depths of ancient wisdom. Like the Alchemist in the story, I wandered around the world – from the sacred path of the Compostela Way in Spain to deep meditation in Brazil, sharing music and blessings from my Afro-Brazilian ancestors in Bali, and receiving the unconditional love of Amma in India.
Through these experiences, I began to realize that the "treasure" I sought wasn't in a distant place — it was always within. "Home" wasn't a location – it was a state of being in my heart and mind, a life of purpose found in giving myself to create a happier world.
And then, something became clear: my gift is to amplify the song of your hearts.
From this realization, Awaken Through Music was born. It emerged from the conviction that music is far more than entertainment – it’s medicine, nourishment for the soul, and a bridge that unites us all.
Instruments in hand and voice as vessel — here, we value sound and silence, melody and meaning. We flow between ancient mantras and new harmonies. We honor tradition and the limitless possibilities of the present moment.
It is sung. In circles, ceremonies, and shared silence, we amplify our intentions and raise our collective vibration.
Whether you are finding your first note, tuning your practice, or seeking new chords in your heart, you belong in this chorus.

The journey that led to Awaken Through Music is a tapestry woven with music, spirituality, travel, and deep inner work.
Here are some of the key milestones that shaped this path:
“Music was my childhood sanctuary — my very first language of wonder and joy.”
"My father, my first mentor; my sister, my artistic companion. Music is home."
“I found my love for piano — the magical bridge that brought people together.”
“Saying yes to the forest’s call changed everything.
Living barefoot in the wild, amidst hummingbirds, sacred plants, rivers, and stars, I remembered: life on Earth can be heaven.
The mountains became my temple; nature, my guide."
“On stage, ‘green music’ became my way to call for transformation.
Theater, drumming, and dance let me embody Brazil’s spirit and carry healing messages of ecology and spirituality."
“Letting go of music as my path broke something inside me.
Unable to sustain myself with my greatest passion, I turned away — setting music aside for years.
Instruments were replaced by a laptop; chords traded for spreadsheets, songs for strategies.
The quest for independence felt right to pursue, but not without its price."
“21 days nourished only by prana — my highest purpose was revealed for the first time
In this state of purity, I envisioned building an ashram and an online academy for self-mastery."
“Leaving the city for the countryside, I found freedom to be my truest self.
The harmonium became my great teacher, guiding me to the songs that truly fed my soul.
As I learned to live an inspired life, my first online academy nourished thousands who were longing for health and wellness education."
“A burnout was the trigger — I set out across continents, following my longing to let go of society’s scripts.
India, Bali, Thailand, the Camino…
I kept asking: Where is home? What is my gift to the world? How do I build a different way of living?
Inspiration was needed."
“Returning to Brazil, I embraced the Amma devotees' mantra circle.
And while preparing to leave my homeland for good, I placed my harmonium upon Amma’s altar and prayed: If music is my true path of service, show me the way.”
"Ready to live in higher alignment, I left the world behind at Amma’s ashram, in India, and a dark retreat in Thailand.
Panchakarma, deep silence, and solitude revealed the life I longed for: service, purpose, music as offering. Bali awaited."
“Bali’s soulful community reignited what makes me feel the most alive.
From sacred ceremonies and new instruments, to musical circles and concerts, I began to remember: Yes, it’s possible to build my life in my own terms."
“It was time to break free from limiting beliefs about music and myself.
Through hypnosis and my own Brazilian music nights, the old fears of not being good enough — or not being able to sustain myself — began to fall away.
I became a giver — from my soul, no longer seeking approval.
And then…the world sang back."
“Years of lived inspirations gave birth to our online platform — a sacred resource for those who chose music as a path to heal, awaken, and empower the collective.
My journey became our journey.”
“From Bali to Europe, I was grounded in ceremonial spaces — supporting others on their healing and self-discovery journeys.
Sharing music at multi-day retreats, I witness lives transformed. People, like my Dutch beloved friends, continue to discover their gifts through these sacred spaces."
“Music isn’t just a path I walk — it’s where I come home, and where I invite you to remember your own heart and voice.
In every song, story, and course, let’s remember why we’re here:
to heal through love, and to sing our beauty into existence — together."
If, like me, you’ve ever felt music was more than entertainment — if it felt like nourishment, prayer, or a tool for growth — then you’re already part of this story.
Beyond music and mission, I'm simply Luz do Sol, a fellow traveler on this path.
Here are a few things that make me, me:
Become who you came here to be. Now. Prioritize falling in love with yourself.
An ashram entirely dedicated to holistic awakening through music and other practices. Also, a campervan caravan touring across continents, spreading ceremonies, songs, and messages along the way.
Amma, for her life of love, devotion, and incredible contribution to a better world, all lived with profound humility.
Integrity, freedom, and a curious and creative intelligence.
Bali (Indonesia), Bahia (Brazil), and The Compostela Way (Spain).
Many music traditions deeply shape my sound:
From Brazil: Candomblé, Umbanda, Santo Daime, Indigenous, Afro-Brazilian, and MPB (Brazilian Popular Music)
From India & Region: Hindu and Buddhist mantras
From Europe: Neo-classical piano music
From the USA: Jazz
From around the world: heart/medicine music and New Age
I still can be shy around people sometimes – a journey I've navigated over time.
