OUR LATEST FEATURE

House & Leisure — Volume 20 (Curate), Autumn 2026

For over three decades, House & Leisure has been an iconic South African décor and design magazine. The Autumn 2026 edition, Curate, explores what we choose to live with — and why. A study in modern form and natural palettes, the issue reflects a quiet, refined presence. AKI Sound Studio is honoured to be featured within its pages — a dialogue between contemporary sound, design and mindful living, authored by Dr Anesu Mbizvo.

The issue is out now, available across South Africa, at select European retailers, and via the House & Leisure app and digital platforms.

A Lifetime in the Making

FOUNDERS & MASTER HEALERS

Partners in life and practice, Shannon van Staden and Lama Brian Hilliard have collaborated and taught sound internationally since 2015, each bringing their own depth of experience in sound, meditation, music, and ritual.

Based out of their light-filled studio in Brussels, AKI Sound Studio is a space for sound journeys, trainings, private sessions, and creative collaborations — welcoming brands and practitioners to host pop-ups, events, and shared experiences.



OUR STUDIO

Rooted in sound, stillness, and the spirit of connection, AKI Sound Studio is more than a space. It's a sanctuary. A place where resonance becomes remembrance, and creative collaborations unfold through shared frequency. We welcome practitioners, artists, and seekers to co-create experiences that honour both the seen and unseen.
