Sound & Ink by Maïya Katy

Rituals for hotels & retreats

Sound
& Ink

The ink opens the journey, the sound carries it.

Mandala journaling and sound journeys, created for the places that host them. Luxury that gives back.

by Maïya Katy · Luxembourg · the world

Every place has its own frequency.

I travel to listen to it. Wherever I am, online or in person, I open a space where you slow down and let your soul speak through mandala journaling: writing and colouring a mandala around one intention. Then sound carries it.

Guests leave with a mandala they coloured themselves, and a journal to continue the practice at home.

And every ritual gives back. Wherever I work, 10% of everything I earn goes to a local cause.

The ritual, step by step

60 to 90 minutes, private or in a group.

1
Arrive
Each guest chooses a mandala and a question, guided by the energy of the moon.
2
Write & colour
Mandala journaling: a few words in the journal, then slow colouring, holding the question in mind. No skill needed, nothing to get right.
3
Sound
A sound journey that carries the intention deeper, while the body rests.
4
Take home
The mandala, a few written words, and the journal to return to the practice.

Why write and colour before sound

A gentle way in

Many people find it hard to sit still and meditate. Colouring gives the mind a simple, absorbing task, so it settles without effort.

An intention made visible

Holding a question while drawing turns a vague wish into something seen and named, ready to be carried by the sound.

Something to keep

The mandala and a few written words stay with the guest, a trace of the experience long after the ritual.

Rituals

Three ways to travel within

Each format can be adapted to a suite, a villa veranda, a yoga pavilion, a rooftop or the beach.

10%

Luxury that gives back

One rule, everywhere, without exception: 10% of everything I earn goes to a local cause in the country where I work. The place that welcomes me receives something back.

Every quarter, I share what was given and to whom.

About

Maïya Katy

Sound therapist, holistic mentor and mandala artist, with sixteen years of experience as a specialised educator in Luxembourg. I hold a university diploma in traumatology, and I founded TaBoo asbl, a peer support group for women survivors of violence.

Today I travel with my instruments, bringing together Tibetan and crystal bowls, chimes, the tubalophone, the kora and other organic instruments with the slow, meditative act of colouring.

My compass: luxury that heals, and gives back.
