VOCE Testimonial
“Much, much gratitude for VOCE. It came at a particularly helpful time for me. I have been a soundwork practitioner for many years. Much of my work was offering sound to clients and group soundwork. I have encouraged women to voice in my group sessions but I have been wanting to offer more intensive vocal release opportunities. In January I sort of hit a wall, two steps forward, 10 steps back. I felt that I was at the edge of something new and resistance showed up, big time. Your course, ever encouraging, helped to catapult me over the edge. For that I’m grateful. Since then I have had numerous clients come for one-on-one sessions to experience vocal experimentation.” – Evelyn Ward de Roo, www.nurturingspace.ca
VOCE welcomes everyone, newcomers and committed practitioners alike. Find yourself in a profound inviolable ‘field’ of deep non-judgemental listening, dispelling separateness, unifying diversity, generating shared values, and sound leadership. The aim is to restore and renew conscious loving relationships through a mindful use of sound.
The Introductory Training is a ‘home-learning’ course to take in your own time. Once you have worked through the practices then you are able to move onto the live Intermediate and then In-depth Trainings. Please see our website diary for dates of upcoming Intermediate and In-Depth online courses.
Update: November 2018
At present the Intermediate and In-depth Trainings are taking a backseat while we put our energies into new online trainings for The Shift Network.

“Chloë is one of the freest spirits I have ever seen on stage” – Juliet Stevenson

Life-Story
Deafness in childhood catalysed Chloë’s discovery of inner sound and silence, has led to a lifetime’s research of the human voice as one of humanity’s most untapped resources for personal and global transformation.
1970s: Following 7 months teaching and community-building in East Africa, Chloë studied Music, English and Education at Cambridge university (1972–76) and graduated with an honours degree. The influence of the Quakers, Martin Luther King & Mahatma Gandhi inspired Chloe’s research into non-violent communication, bringing Peace Education into secondary schools, funded by the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust.
1980s: Chloe left formal music teaching to evolve her own voice as a spiritual practice, influenced by extensive travels in Africa, India, Europe, the Middle East, USA and Canada. Chloe studied with indigenous wisdom teachers, Classical Indian musicians, and masters of non-duality (oneness).This led to a transformative ‘no-mind’ experience in Northern India, inspired by one of 20th century India’s greatest woman saints, Anandamayi Ma, Chloe’s experienced her own ‘naked’ voice, as her own true Self, “an unchanging primordial wisdom, older and deeper than the polarity of all conflict”.
1990s: Chloe founded The Naked Voice in 1990, to share and teach voice as a spiritual practice, as unique as your fingerprint or DNA. She created experiential trainings in ‘sound awareness’ exploring the voice – silent, spoken and sung - as a transformative practice, sourced from a direct connection with fundamental consciousness, non-dual awareness, and the ‘unchanging note’. Chloe’s early memoir, The Naked Voice – A Singer’s Journey to the Spirit of Sound (1993 Rider Books) tells the story of these formative years, with her two major collaborators, Masashi Minagawa, energy movement master of Shintaido, and shamanic world percussionist, Nicholas Twilley.
"Chloe Goodchild’s subtle voicework opens the heart. She is a spectacular genius of this teaching art. She is at the core of a fascinating phenomenon that is allowing individuals to find their truth and freedom through the creative process of voice and sound” - Coleman Barks, Rumi: Soul Fury
2000’s: Chloe evolved The Naked Voice Facilitator Training (NVF) with the support at that time, of committed practitioners & wisdom keepers, Catherine Walsh, Aliki Sapountzi, Emer Dolphin, Siobhan Larkin, Claire Casey, Claire Crehan, Jayne O'Donnell, Mary Doherty, Katherine Cross, Nicola Graydon, Nick Hart-Williams, Tim Chalice, Hilary Franklin, Jules Heavens, Iana Storey, Rhiannon Becque, Chantal Drapeau, Nanina Ghelfi, Rolf Billes, and others. This Three Stage NVF Programme is anchored in the philosophy of the perennial wisdom tradition. The teachings focus on three sound keys – sound awareness, sound intelligence and sound wisdom – leading to an understanding of your ‘naked’ voice as a catalyst for authentic expression, creative action, and compassionate service.
Silence, Self Inquiry & the Singing Field
At the heart of the Naked Voice is an in-depth process of self-inquiry, the capacity to ‘witness’ yourself or another through non-judgemental listening. Silence is discovered here as a dynamic ‘inner music’ with the capacity to inspire, inform and transform reactive or negative emotion into deeper positive feeling. Practitioners discover how to access, and to express their truth as unconditional presence. Solo and small group work lead into a shared experience of harmonic resonance within the whole group, generating an interconnected ‘field’ of sound, or ‘singing field’. This singing field inspires an all-inclusive listening that dissolves separateness and fear, and awakens Love’s unconditional presence.
2020: Chloe’s trained mentors and facilitator teams offer The Naked Voice trainings, courses, experiential research and events worldwide – online and in-person.
