Beyond Voice
February - April 2026
Forthnightly Group Sessions
Hosted by The Psychedelic Society
From 13th February, Api will offer bi-weekly group sessions in person in London. This is a great opportunity to expand your musical abilities, gain confidence in using your voice, sing, improvise, learn new songs, dance, move, meditate and understanding the impact of using a conscious voice in a group setting where we all hold a space of safety and tolerance.
Beyond Voice is inspired by the Chinese wheel of the elements. Each session takes the wisdom of each element: water, wood, fire, earth and metal, learning about what these elements represent in our life (emotions, personality types…). We then take this in to breath, movement and sound, embodying the wisdom and taking it to a new land where the voice has a key role.
You can book all 5 sessions or attend as many as you wish

Cura Sana
May 28-31, 2026
Shaftesbury
This is not an ordinary wellbeing retreat. This is a call for those who prefer meeting that space of deep intimacy with the shadow of your soul, emerging into the light through the elements that nature transpires. In a small group retreat run by Api and the master healer and teacher Greg from Sacred Tree, you will be guided onto peeling the layers to expose the best version of yourself.
The retreat includes 2 night ceremonies, Despacho (Andean ceremony of “letting go”), flower bath, 1:1 healing sessions with Api and/or Greg, rituals in nature, meditation, early morning movement & breath and sound healing.
Private rooms.

The Gate
New single release
This song is an invitation to sit with your shadow, to allow it to express itself, to feel it. Whether it’s sadness, depression, worry, frustration, grief… just sit with it. Feel it and do with your body/movement, breath and sound what feels right.
Pain, as so well described by Kahlil Gibran in his poem “On Pain”, is the dark soil where seeds sprout. It is from this diving init that processes emerge. As creative, I know this well. This song came in my deepest grief, when I was leaving behind an APi that couldn’t be sustained anymore.
When ready to alchemise pain, play this song. Breath. Allow the sound to take it to the next level. Breathe in deeply. Let it all move since nothing is permanent.
Like opening a gate that will show you a new way, a new land, a new space.
SONG AVAILABLE IN MOST STREAMING PLATFORMS
