Behind the scenes
Welcome to Ambia May, and to our little craft shop. Before you explore, let me take you behind the scenes of the handmade artefacts you'll find here. The story behind them matters just as much as the artefacts themselves.
Nice to meet you!
My name is Raphael. In 2023, I took over the company my father built with his hands, his heart, and a deep belief in the power of energetic balance.
The Start 2010
It began in 2010, when my father Manfred made the quiet but meaningful decision to turn his passion into a craft. What started as a hobby (shaping orgonites and energetic artefacts in the basement of our family home) grew into something he poured his entire soul into. As every great thing does, it started small and in a basement.

The Growth 2020
Between 2010 and 2020, word of my father's artefacts travelled far. His work became known and loved across Germany. He was a true artist, deeply gifted, deeply present in everything he made. Delegation didn't come naturally to him, and growth remained intentional and unhurried. Every piece still passed through his hands.

The Expansion 2023
In 2019, I received a golf scholarship from Park University in Kansas City, Missouri. Studying abroad, I wanted to support my father and contribute to what he had built. I created an online shop for our products which quickly gained popularity. At that point we were selling our artefacts in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. We refined our formulations, forged connections with German gold-beaters to source the finest metals, and began to grow our community online.

The Shock 2025
In 2023 — the year I graduated — my father passed away, suddenly and without warning. It was a profound loss. But our family held together: my mother, my brother, my grandfather, and yes, even our labrador, who kept our spirits grounded. We channelled our grief into purpose, and built the business into something greater than it had ever been. In his honour, and in his spirit.

Life 2026
In March 2026, we launched our presence in the United States, and the response moved me deeply. To bring handcrafted orgonites and jewellery from Germany to a new community, to continue what my father began, is something I don't take lightly.
Every piece remains authentic, intentional, and made with care. We continue to expand our portfolio, always guided by one purpose: to offer artefacts that genuinely support your energetic balance.

Our mission
We are here to expand the knowledge and everyday practice of orgonites and energetic artefacts, so that more people can live in greater harmony, balance, and wholeness.
We are currently exploring spheric harmonisation devices, sit-in meditation pyramids, and orgone field environments for sleep and conscious recovery. By 2027, we aim to build Wilhelm Reich's Orgone Chamber and develop an accessible, reliable way to measure orgone energy.
This is a living mission. One that grows with every artefact crafted, every customer reached, and every step taken in the direction my father pointed us.
Thank you for reading this far. Your curiosity and openness means everything to me and my team.
We hope your experience with Ambia May brings you exactly what you're looking for (and more).
Warm greetings from Germany,
Raphael
