About the Foundation
“A project established to promote the moral and mental improvement of humanity by teaching meditative, contemplative, listening and singing skills to improve communications and the resolution of conflict; and to protect the health of persons who have either suffered as a result of personal or national conflict or who work with such persons, by promoting the use of such skills as a method of non-violent expression”
The Naked Voice Foundation was founded in May 2004.
Registered Charity Number 1103831.
The foundation is helping people to discover
and communicate their true voice, free from self-consciousness and
fear. It is opening pathways to peace, from the personal to
the international scene.
Thousands have already experienced this transforming process. Can you help
us reach thousands more?
The Naked Voice Foundation has arisen out of Chloë Goodchild's many experiences in formal music teaching, spiritual and music research in Asia and Africa, a national theatre-in-education peace project in the UK, and the European peace movement.
With three years' funding from the Rowntree Trust, in the 1980s Chloë embarked on a peace education project in UK secondary schools, raising awareness of both personal and international issues of peace and conflict.
From this experience came a deeper understanding of the origins of peace and conflict, and the nature of “structural violence” ie. the negative impact of fixed or hierarchical working structures on the human spirit. However, it was more recently that Chloë discovered ways to apply the transforming power of music as a force for peace between individuals, within organisations and institutions.
