    Beyond Voice

    Sept-Nov 2026

    Voice Group Sessions

    Hosted by The Psychedelic Society

    Starting on the 25th September, 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

    Drum Birth

    Sept 27th, 2026

    Epping Forest

    Hosted by The Psychedelic Society

    We will sit on the forest floor under a huge centenary oak tree, to tune in and birth your new drum.

    A drum is not only an instrument, it’s also a tool that has been used over generations by healers, mystics and shamans to access other states of consciousness and realms, to communicate with the spirit world and channel the forces of those who want to help. This presence will allow you to listen to the drum language.

    Get ready to feel your senses, connect with the elements, move your hands, use your muscles, and push through this birth, reflecting on how your body and mind respond to each step of the process.

    Hear the call of the drum? the heartbeat is becoming louder, almost unmissable.

    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
