Establish the first chapter
Develop and launch two educational pathways, share them with a wider international community and create a sustainable foundation for the School.
A School Devoted to Mastering the Transformative Power of Sound.
A living school where sound is explored not simply as a technique, but as a pathway to creativity, self-discovery, transformation and healing.
The Vision
For nearly a decade, I have dedicated my life to exploring the transformative power of sound. Through overtone singing, the human voice, traditional instruments, electronic soundscapes, ceremony, deep listening and altered states of consciousness, sound has become far more than an artistic expression for me. It has become a lifelong path of exploration, learning and personal transformation.
Over the years, I have shared this work through performances, ceremonies, retreats and immersive trainings with people from many different backgrounds.
And somewhere along this journey, a vision began to take shape.
The Sound Alchemy School.
A living school where sound is explored not simply as a technique, but as a pathway to creativity, self-discovery, transformation and healing.
A place where ancient knowledge meets contemporary exploration, where artistic expression and personal growth belong together, and where learning happens through direct experience.
Much of this work already exists. Now I feel ready to bring it together, deepen it and give it a foundation for the future.
My vision unfolds in two chapters.
THE PATH FORWARD
Develop and launch two educational pathways, share them with a wider international community and create a sustainable foundation for the School.
Create a permanent home for the Sound Alchemy School, surrounded by nature — a place for sound, creativity and transformation.
“I don't want to choose a building first and then force the vision into it. I want to build the work first — and allow the right home to reveal itself.”
PHASE ONE — BUILD THE SCHOOL
The first chapter is about developing and launching two educational pathways, sharing them with a wider international community and creating a sustainable foundation for the School.
Bringing an established in-person experience to people around the world. Over the past years, I have guided numerous Harmonic Gate immersions in person, exploring the human voice, overtone singing, resonance and deep listening.
These experiences have gradually evolved into a structured, experiential approach to discovering the extraordinary possibilities of our own voices. Now I am bringing Harmonic Gate into an accessible online format.
The five-week hybrid course is already well underway. It will combine weekly live sessions, guided exercises, practical exploration and personal support.
I plan to complete its development in the coming weeks and launch the first live course in December 2026.
The recordings and learning materials will eventually become the foundation of a complete online learning experience, allowing people to explore Harmonic Gate from anywhere in the world.
The teachings already exist. Now I want to open the door for more people to experience them.
The heart of the Sound Alchemy School.
My second focus is developing an immersive four-day training devoted to the art of working with sound.
The foundation for this training was created several years ago, including a comprehensive handbook. Now I want to refine, expand and bring it fully to life.
The training will weave together voice and overtone singing, traditional instruments, electronic sound, resonance, deep listening, ceremony, consciousness and the art of creating meaningful sound experiences.
It will combine knowledge with direct experience, individual exploration with shared practice, and artistic expression with personal transformation.
The first four-day trainings are planned for Dubai and Germany in 2027.
My intention is to create something that goes beyond a conventional sound healing training. An immersion into the art of sound — something people can carry into their own lives, creative practice and work with others.
This founding campaign is about developing the educational work, presenting it professionally and helping it reach the people who are looking for it.
Your support will help make the following possible:
Finalize the hybrid course, create and organize the educational materials, and prepare a complete online learning pathway.
Refine the handbook, deepen the curriculum, develop the practical teaching materials and prepare the first training in Germany.
Create beautiful films, reels, photographs and educational content that communicate the depth, atmosphere and transformative possibilities of this work.
Reach new audiences, build an international community and fill the first online and in-person trainings through thoughtful, professional marketing.
Invest in continued study, creative exploration, composition and the development of new teaching methods and sound experiences.
Build the necessary online systems, learning resources and communication tools to make the School accessible and sustainable.
Before building a physical school, build a school worth giving a home to.

THE ARTIST MUST REMAIN A STUDENT
One of my deepest commitments is to remain a student of sound throughout my life.
To practice. To compose. To experiment. To listen.
And to continue traveling, learning from and studying with masters who have devoted their lives to their art and traditions.
I feel deep gratitude for the teachers who have shared their knowledge, wisdom and experience with me. Each encounter has shaped not only my music, but also the way I listen, practice and teach.
My intention is to dedicate several months each year to deepening my studies — exploring voice, overtone singing, traditional instruments, music and the many ways sound is understood and experienced across cultures.
What I learn does not end with me. It becomes part of the living knowledge I bring into my teaching and share through the Sound Alchemy School.
Mastery is not a destination. It is a lifelong relationship with sound.
The School will continue to grow from this spirit of curiosity, dedication and gratitude.
Phase Two
PHASE TWO — GIVE THE SCHOOL A HOME
My deeper vision is to create a permanent home for the Sound Alchemy School, surrounded by nature.
Not a large institution or a luxury retreat center.
Something much simpler, more intimate and alive.
A place where sound is not only taught during scheduled events, but explored, practiced and lived every day.
I imagine a beautiful natural setting with a spacious room for teaching, ceremonies and musical exploration — perhaps even a traditional yurt.
Simple accommodation for around ten participants, possibly shared sleeping spaces with bunk beds.
A communal kitchen, shared meals, places to gather outdoors and the quiet presence of nature.
A place where people can come for several days, step away from everyday life and immerse themselves in sound, voice, listening and self-discovery.
It will also be my own home and creative base.
After years of traveling, performing and teaching in different places around the world, I feel an increasing desire to put down roots.
Somewhere I can practice, compose, record, study and develop my art without constantly moving from place to place.
I imagine inviting visiting musicians, artists and teachers, sharing knowledge across traditions and creating meaningful experiences together.
A living place where the artist, the student and the teacher can coexist.
I don't know exactly where this home will be yet.
It could begin with a rented property rather than a purchased one. It doesn't need to be extravagant.
What matters most is nature, simplicity, a beautiful atmosphere and the possibility of living and creating together.
The first phase of the School will establish its educational offerings, community and financial foundation.
The next phase will focus on finding and creating this physical home, as soon as the right opportunity becomes possible.
It will have its own plan and funding strategy once a suitable location is identified.
A home for sound. A place to learn. A place to belong.
THE INVITATION
I believe sound can become far more than something we hear. It can become a way of listening more deeply, discovering our own voices, expressing what lives within us and reconnecting with ourselves and the world around us.
This is the work I have devoted my life to.
And this is the vision I now want to give a home.
The Sound Alchemy School is not simply a future dream. Its first chapter is already beginning.
If this vision resonates with you, I invite you to become part of its foundation.
Together, we can help create a living school devoted to the art and mastery of sound.

At this level, I would prefer to have a personal conversation rather than offer a predefined package.
We can explore the vision, what you feel called to support and what I can meaningfully offer in return.
BECOME MAJOR PATRON - 10,000WHY NOW?
For years, my focus has been on learning, practicing, exploring and sharing sound.
The more deeply I enter this work, the more I recognize how much there is still to discover.
And at the same time, I feel increasingly ready to share what I have learned in a more complete and structured way.
Harmonic Gate has already been experienced by many participants.
The foundation of the four-day Sound Alchemy training already exists.
The first training venue is available.
The artistic practice, the instruments, the experience and the teachings are already here.
What is needed now is the support to bring these elements together and help them grow.
I don't want to build a large institution for its own sake.
I want to create something authentic and sustainable.
A school that allows me to continue growing as an artist, sharing knowledge deeply and eventually welcoming people into a permanent sanctuary devoted to sound.
A place where the teachings are alive because the practice is alive.
