What this is

The earth has been singing since before language.

Song circles are one of the oldest forms of human gathering — a place where voices weave together not to perform, but to remember. To return. Starting on the longest day of the year, we begin a new cycle of coming home to the voice you were born with.

"You don't need to be a 'singer' to sing. You need to be alive."

Each month revolves around a different expression of the earth — its seasons, its textures, its wild medicines. No experience required. Only voice, breath, and belonging.

This is for you if…

༄You love singing in a no-stress, low pressure environment

༄You are passionate about learning music from different world traditions

༄ You are ready to open your voice supported by a skilled teacher

༄ You would like to share your voice in a vibrant, encouraging community

༄ You want to enhance your creative expression over 10 weeks

The themes we'll explore:

Rooted in the four faces of the living world

Each gathering takes its cue from the earth herself. We'll draw from world folk traditions, original songs, and ancient toning practices, in pace with the season.

⊕Soil & Root

Grounding chants and low-body resonance. Songs that settle the nervous system into the earth.

◎Stone & River

Fluid vocal lines from water traditions. Songs that move like rivers.

✦Forest & Bark

Call-and-response forms from forest cultures. Songs that echo, and take on a life of their own.

◯Sky & Season

Songs mapped to the turning year. Solstice, equinox, the harvest; your voice as seasonal ritual.

About your teacher

Lucia has been holding space for voices for over a decade.

Lucia Lilikoi is an educator, singer, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and sound-healer based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Inspired by her roots in classical piano from the Madrid Conservatory,  Jazz composition from Berklee College of Music, and vocal improvisation from luminaries Rhiannon and Bobby McFerrin, she continues to be a student of sound. Her music has been featured in film and television, and she has collaborated with Grammy-winning producers and artists.

A passionate educator, she founded The Voice Lab in 2011—an online platform for vocal and creative empowerment— to support singers in freeing their voice through a holistic approach, combining technique and musicality with embodiment, and intuition. Her students have gone on to land auditions, write beautiful songs, record albums, and enjoy confidence and expression in their singing voice.

What students say

  • I have developed a lifelong love of music

    “I have worked with and known Lucia for many years. She is one of the sweetest and most caring individuals you will ever meet. As a teacher, she meets you where you are and also challenges you to grow and stretch in the best possible ways. Thanks to Lucia, I have developed a lifelong love of music and will forever continue to explore this passion. I have learned so much- I am forever grateful to her.”

    -Annabelle Applegarth

  • She worked with me and I sing with a new found freedom

    “I loved my vocal lessons with Lucia!! She had an exceptional ability to pinpoint where my voice was forced and constrained.  She worked with me to be able to sing with a new found freedom the parts of my songs that used to intimidate me.  She is so encouraging and engaging and loves helping fellow artists connect with and express their authentic selves.  Lucia is a highly accomplished singer and songwriter herself, and because of this she is very knowledgeable about every aspect of being a singer and musical artist.  I learned so much from her about vocal technique, dynamics, artistic expression, improvisation, vocal performance and studio recording.  I highly recommend studying with Lucia, she is a tremendously gifted artist sharing her deep knowledge and passion for singing.” 

    -Michael Ryther 

  • Lucia is helping me to grow my wings. I sing everyday.

    “Lucia combines her attunement to others with a life dedicated to the study of music. I always feel encouraged. The voice is personal and connects us to the soul. I feel safe with Lucia and grateful she is willing to share her passion and expertise. Lucia is as methodic and technical as she is intuitive and holistic. She is able to share more than 20 years of practice and a very advanced level of musical theory in an appropriate way with beginners. Lucia is helping me to grow my wings. I sing everyday.”

    -Sally Lee Stewart 

  • Through that process, I found myself inspired to write songs and share them with the world. 

    “I’ve been working with Lucia for a couple years now. I’ve had such incredible progress thanks to her caring and encouraging guidance and instructions.

    My voice improved by leaps and bounds. I continue to use the extensive resources from the online platform as a reference and resource a year later. 

    Through that process, I found myself inspired to write songs and share them with the world. 

    I just finished recording three songs with Lucia as the producer! I’m just amazed by the progression! I can’t begin to describe how supported I felt throughout this recording project.”

    -Jason Cole

  • I truly feel like I'm on a natural high every time I take a class with this woman.

    "I have taken voice lessons with a variety of voice coaches, primarily in opera, and I have to say, Lucia was a better fit for me as a teacher than other voice teachers I've had in the past!

    She effortlessly helped me improve my vocal range with her techniques, got me to resonate sound in different parts of my face, and helped me be better acquainted how I can improve my sound production. She's great at accompanying on piano, has a fabulous taste in music and has a very intuitive way of teaching.

    I truly feel like I'm on a natural high every time I take a class with this woman. Lucia deserves a Galaxy of Stars. Amazing teacher, I am so grateful for how much I have come along in her 7 week program. I Highly recommend her!"

    - Amber Lee

  • Lucia inspired me to find the confidence in myself to release my very first song AND do a live performance at a venue in San Francisco.

    “Lucia is the best vocal coach I could ask for!!! She radiates a beautiful, authentic, and calming presence that brought the best out of me and my voice. She is a master of singing and provided me with a solid foundation of techniques to improve my singing voice immensely. Lucia inspired me to find the confidence in myself to release my very first song AND do a live performance at a venue in San Francisco. She gave me the best advice I needed to successfully become a radiant, confident singer - both in the studio and on stage. If you’re looking to work on your vocals, there’s no other person I’d recommend than Lucia ”

    - Daniela H.

  • Her approach to singing is holistic, anchored in expertise and experience, yet centered in the soul.

    “I came to Lucia as a lifelong singer from a family that grew up with music all around us. With no formal training, I knew I had potential to unlock around better pitch, proper breathing, and a tactical approach to singing my songs. 

    From my first lesson, knew that I would gain these skills and so much more. Her approach to singing is holistic, anchored in expertise and experience, yet centered in the soul. After a few months, I found myself singing from a place of ease and expansion rather than force and constriction. Not only has my pitch, breath and overall control improved, but my love and emotion while performing has been awakened. 

    Lucia has a unique ability to give visualizations that connect your voice to your mind’s eye. She is a master of her craft, but more importantly a compassionate and loving human that will support and inspire you on your musical path”.

    -Joel Lunenfeld
