Saturdays reflections 🖤 Nature as medicine 🌎

For me, nature is everything. It is more than getting lost in beautiful places or admiring breathtaking views. Nature is my home, my church, my nurture, my friend, my family, and the place where my soul feels most at peace.

I grew up in a quiet place surrounded by trees, and that love for nature and wild spaces has stayed with me throughout my life.

Whenever life becomes challenging, I return to the hills, the forests, and the places where the noise of the world fades away. There is something deeply comforting about the stillness of the present moment, held by the soothing sounds of nature. It is there that I can breathe a little deeper and simply be.

Nature grounds me in this world. As someone who carries a lot of fire and air energy, it can be easy to become lost in my own thoughts and inner world. Nature gently brings me back to myself. She heals my soul, offers perspective, and reminds me of the importance of staying present.

So, I would love to ask you this:

What is one thing that brings you joy, especially during life's more challenging seasons? 🖤🌿

I would love to hear your story 😊

❤️☀️ As the Summer Solstice approaches ☀️❤️

This time last year, my heart was full of joy as we gathered together in our Shamanic Drumming Circle to celebrate the turning of the seasons

This year feels very different 💛

My celebration is quiet. Silent. Held in solitude.

Life is inviting me to slow down, to honour the profound transitions unfolding around me, and to simply be. No ceremony. No drums. No rituals. Just the stillness of nature, the warmth of the sun on my skin, and the gentle reminder that this present moment is enough.

Sometimes, we don't need to do anything at all.

Sometimes the greatest ceremony is allowing ourselves to pause, to breathe, and to meet ourselves exactly as we are. Not from a place of loneliness, but from a place of deep connection - with the Earth beneath our feet, the sky above us, the trees, the birds, the wind, and the whole universe that quietly holds us every single day.

The older I become, the more I realise that life doesn't always ask us to keep moving. Sometimes it simply asks us to become still.

As the light reaches its peak and we welcome the Summer Solstice, my wish for you is simple: may you find moments to slow down, to rest, and to listen. May the warmth of the sun soften the places within that have carried pain, fear, or uncertainty. May this season remind you that growth doesn't always come through action; often it blossoms through presence, trust, and surrender.

May you find beauty in the ordinary, strength in your vulnerability, and love in every step of your path. And whenever life feels overwhelming, remember to return to this moment. Here. Now. This is where peace quietly waits for us.

Finally, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Thank you for following my work, for supporting Anima Pacha Drums, for trusting me, for sharing your stories, and for allowing me to walk alongside you. Every person I meet becomes a teacher in one way or another, and your kindness, encouragement, and presence continue to inspire me every single day.

Wishing you a peaceful, joyful, and heart-centred Summer Solstice from the heart of Lithuania 🇱🇹

With love and many blessings,
Ilona - Snowy Feather

Saturdays reflections - opening the heart through pain 🖤

I don’t often talk about my shamanic journey, and maybe that’s why I am sometimes misunderstood or judged when people see my work here. Many assume I am simply an artist. But behind that is a soul that has lived through deep darkness — facing death on multiple occasions, carrying the heavy burden of trauma within the body, daily chronic pain, struggling with s u i c i d a l thoughts, and enduring severe depression for around six years.

At one point, I travelled to the Amazon jungle to confront my inner demons, releasing trauma and pain as part of what felt like an initiation into a spiritual path I can only describe as shamanic in nature. I know the word “shamanism” can carry stigma, and I don’t use it lightly, but I often struggle to find another way to describe how I live and experience the world.

Three years ago, I experienced what I can only describe as a shamanic dismemberment during an astral experience in sleep — a symbolic breaking apart and rebirth that changed how I understand reality. I don’t often speak about these things, but I do journey deeply through dreams and inner states. I feel energy intensely, which is why I often need solitude or time in nature to stay grounded.

I am slowly stepping out of hermit mode to share more of my story, not to be defined by pain, but to acknowledge it. My hope is that it helps others understand the depth of what I have lived through, and why I now hold space for others with compassion.

If you or someone you know is struggling with dark thoughts, I want to say I am here in heart and spirit. I have been in that darkness, and I know how hard it is. But it is possible to move forward by focusing only on today — not the past, not the future. Just today, and one small thing that brings you a little peace. For me, that place is nature.

Deepest love

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all doing well and moving gently through these times. I wanted to share some photos of the drums that are currently looking for their new home. 😊

With a tender heart, I am also offering a 20% discount on all drums at this time, in case one of them is calling to somebody who has been waiting for the right moment.

Each drum has been created with deep care, intention, and reverence for this path. All materials are ethically sourced, and every piece is brought into being within a sacred space, held with love, prayer, and gratitude.

If you feel drawn to any of these drums or would like to know more about them, please reach out.

Sound previews, detailed description and more photos can be found on my website.

I trust that each one will find the hands and heart it is meant for.

Thank you

Ilona ❤️ 🦉 🪶
