A Sound Ceremony for Remembering Who You Are
Sunday, May 18, 5:00 – 7:00 PM, O-Tone Gallusstrasse 4, 8006 Zürich
All Dates 2025: Sun, May 18 / Jun 22 / July 13 / Sep 7 / Nov 2 / Dec 7
Two hours of live music
where together we sing, breathe, and listen. We chant mantras, sing kirtan, move energy, and open space inside the body
Presented by the musical trio Satoéi
There are places within you that only sound can reach.
There are emotions that only your voice can release.
There is a deep calling within you
longing to be expressed, witnessed, and sung.
Welcome to Voice Alchemy.
An alchemical and magical sound container, a space where music, voice, and heart converge to awaken something deep within.
Created and presented by Satoéi, a trio of musicians and soul companions united by the life-giving power of music, the joy of singing, and the transformative force of sound.
This experience is a blend of ritual, resonance, and deep reconnection.
A group experience that weaves Vocal Practices, Mantras, Kirtan, Sound Healing, Live Music, and Soulful Songs into a fluid journey of release, reconnection, and soul expression.
A place where sound is not just heard – but felt.
Where the voice is not just expressed – but liberated.
This is where the mystical meets the musical.
Where resonance becomes ritual.
And your voice becomes the bridge between your soul and your body.
As soon as the music started, I journeyed to my happy place. And it’s not often I get to say that.

Voice Alchemy Is for You If…
- You crave a space where your voice is welcome just as it is, without needing to perform or be perfect
- You want to feel the joy, the connection, and the quiet power of simply letting your voice move through you
- You’ve been told you “can’t sing,” but something inside you still longs to
- You hesitate to speak up, even when your heart has something to say
- You’ve been holding back, afraid of being too much – or not enough
- You’re not looking for a stage – you’re looking for freedom
Whether you’re a singer, a seeker, or simply someone who wants to feel more alive, expressed, and at home in your body – you belong here.
For me, it was simply an evening for the soul… relaxing, recharging, being. I arrived in my body, connected with my voice, and left feeling nourished. Mahalo 🙏🏻
💗-ly, Damaris

What Happens in Voice Alchemy
You’ll be gently guided through a ceremonial sound journey – a space where silence is sacred, sound is a doorway, and your voice is the key.
Together, we sing, hum, breathe, and listen. We chant mantras, sing kirtan, move energy, and open space inside the body.
We’re held by live music, intuitive sound, and the loving vibration of the group field.
There may be tears. There may be laughter. There will be stillness. There will be resonance.
This is not about sounding beautiful.
It’s about becoming available to the beauty that lives inside you and your voice and the power of our group energy as we unite our voices.
A simple sound can touch your soul.
A single mantra can open a temple of peace in your heart.
And when your body receives your voice, it begins to feel safe again.
That’s when the magic happens.
~Sabina Elsa Astolfi
You may experience:
- Group singing, chanting of ancient mantra, the blessings of kirtan
- Live music and soulful songs by Satoéi
- Breathwork and somatic voice practices
- Sound healing and energy clearing
- Sacred pauses and deep listening
- A soft, safe space for expression and release
No experience with singing is needed.
Only a willingness to come as you are – and let your voice meet your body.
Losing oneself in togetherness and yet feeling completely at home within oneself – that is how I would describe the evenings of Voice Alchemy. A true delight for the ears, soul, and heart.

Why We Sing Together
We are all unique. Yet, through voice, we connect.
Liberation sounds big – but it begins in small moments.
The breath before a note. The softening of the body. The courage to be heard.
When you show up for your voice, life responds. The body listens. The breath deepens. And your soul leans in.
Tears are welcome. Laughter is welcome.
You are welcome—exactly as you are.
One Last Whisper…
The world isn’t asking for your perfection. It’s asking for your presence.
For your resonance. For your real voice. Will you answer the call?
FAQ’s
Can I come alone?
Yes. Many people come on their own and find deep connection within the group. You’ll be warmly welcomed into the circle.
How long is the Voice Alchemy ceremony?
Each Voice Alchemy event is typically 2 hours, plus time to arrive, and gently integrate before leaving.
What if I feel shy or self-conscious?
That’s completely okay. Many people feel vulnerable around their voice—that’s why we do this work in a loving, non-judgmental space. You can participate in your own way. Everything is optional. You will be held.
What should I bring to the ceremony?
Yourself, just as you are. We also recommend comfortable clothing, a water bottle, a journal (if you like to reflect).
Do I need singing experience to attend?
Not at all. This space is not about sounding perfect—it’s about feeling free. Whether you’re new to voice work or a seasoned singer, all you need is the willingness to show up and let your voice move through you.
Voices from Participants
A wonderful concert that opened my heart and left the sounds still resonating within me. Heartfelt thanks.
Nicole-Lemuria
A brilliant event with mantra singing, music, dance, and meditation. It was truly an alchemical process of coming together. Such a wonderful and radiant evening!
Romeo
A deeply touching and heart-opening evening of sound and togetherness.
Susanna
Heartfelt thanks.
When the music started, my heart filled with positive energy.
Tony played an instrument and my soul left my body.
I was physically here, my eyes closed and my soul in my “happy place.” This rarely happens to me, but the music and the musicians were magical.I heard Sabina and her beautiful voice. I heard her but did not see her and was in seventh heaven, far away from my problems and life issues. From that place I listened to the wonderful music and enjoyed the mantras.
Thank you Sabina, Tony and Efisio for the magical evening!
Havva
Sabina with her wonderful voice and her authentic way of interpreting mantras – unique. and oh, Toni – his percussions always hit me right in the heart.
I am impressed how you manage every time with your skills to create this magic in the room (and beyond) and to involve us all. The music is full of heart and soul, you can feel that so much and also that you really know your craft.
What is important and pleases me is that everyone is allowed to be as they are and what they feel like.
Some people dance to the beat, others sing along with heart and soul, and others just sit or lie there, listen and let the melodies and rhythms take effect on them silently. Nothing must, but can.The flow of the evening is a spectrum of sacred sounds of different cultures.
Personally, I experienced the entire range of emotions during this evening and occasionally lost myself in the sounds. Losing oneself in the togetherness and yet arriving completely at home. This is how I would describe the evenings of Voice Alchemy.
A treat for ear, soul and heart. Heartfelt thanks.

What are Mantras?
It doesn’t matter what faith or religion you belong to, mantras are a universal sound language. The power of mantras has been known for thousands of years. It promotes openness, joy and serenity, as well as the connection to the divine part of your soul.
Mantras exist for all situations in life: mantras to protect places, to help the deceased, to cleanse negative karma, to invoke light beings, to heal, to facilitate receiving messages from the universe, to calm anger, to transform fear, to promote willpower and courage, to improve concentration, to promote prosperity….
Mantras are powerful and protective friends on our life’s journey.
