My name is Milou Mignon and I am a singer, voice coach and founder of small retreat centre Land of Enchantment, Spain. I bridge soul-infused folk music with vocal harmonies and immersive soundscapes.
In my performances and workshops I create a space where melodies, breath and story invite people to slow down, sing along and connect with the power of their voice.
If someone asked me as a child what my future dream was, I answered: ‘To be singing until I am a melody myself. Until I am out of words and all that is left of me is a single hum.’
There was also a childhood dream of mine to live in a lighthouse. And to bring people there to sing, create and envision together. I would imagine how people from all over the world would shine a light of inspiration, wisdom and hope in each other during this gathered moment. And then to spread that light along their way. This brought me to build up Land of Enchantment Spain, a little nature home for singing retreats and art residencies not far from Camino do Faro, the path of the lighthouse.

What about your artistic work?
Over the past fifteen years I have created musical performances, installations, audiobooks, podcasts and workshops for festivals, theatres and cultural organizations.
Collaborations include Paradiso Melkweg Productiehuis, Radio 1, HKU University of the Arts, Amsterdam Museum, MUS-E Belgium and De Vest Theatre.
Through these projects I explore how sound and story can become portals for connection, remembrance and transformation, weaving voice, poetry and space into immersive experiences that invite the listener to feel more deeply.

What is your background?
From an early age I have been fascinated by the ancient arts of sound, story and healing. I hold a degree in Vocals and Songwriting from the Conservatory of Amsterdam and have continued my studies at the Academy for Theatre & Dance, in Performance Analysis at the University of Amsterdam, and followed classes in Word Art at the Royal Theatre School of Antwerp, where I studied speech, articulation and interpretation.
Yet to me the voice is more than an instrument for performance and communication. It is the blueprint of the soul and the bridge between our inner and outer worlds.
Therefore I have also explored a wide range of healing practices such as sound healing therapy, authentic relating, clowning, somatic awareness and ceremonial arts. These influences merge into Voice to Voice method, my holistic and embodied approach to voice work, blending technique and intuition.
As a facilitator in festivals, trainings, online courses and 1:1 trajectories I have been guiding people to reconnect with the power of their authentic voice. Through singing, mantra- & breath work, journaling, creative expression, voice liberation practices, I guide you on your path of emotional healing, confidence and self-expression.
