Background
Ricardo’s path began with a childhood call to music that he set aside for a corporate marketing career; he returned to the medicine of song and mantra at 29. Since then he has trained across Latin America with master sound and ceremony holders, blending what he learned into his own practice.
How they work
Ceremonies use voice as the primary vehicle — toning, mantra, kirtan and song — supported by frame drums, Tibetan bowls and other acoustic instruments. He often weaves cacao and temazcal elements into longer formats.
Where to find them
Most consistently at Casa Om in Mazunte, with rotating residencies at Casa Muyal, Casa Shiva and other healing centres across Mexico and the wider region. Schedule and bookings are shared through @ricardo_mones on Instagram.
