Chloe Goodchild at Third International Sound Healing Conference - Sound Intelligence: Awakening through Sound

Chloe Goodchild will be presenting a workshop at the Third International Sound Healing Conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico USA, November 14-18, 2008.

Chloe Goodchild is founder of The Naked Voice and its charitable foundation, dedicated to healing the divide between silence, speech and song.  Since deafness in childhood, Chloe began a life-long journey to find ways to express herself and to help others in the same process. The ‘naked’ voice - or real sound, prior to the social or personality voice - was the outcome and treasure of this process. She created a method of communication, and effortless expression that enables singers and non-singers alike to access their true sound, from a deep and non-judgmental listening, sourced from silence.
Chloe’s teaching and performance has been informed by an experiential research of East -West voice and sound practices, following travels in Africa, India, Turkey, Europe, USA and Canada. She has sung for HH Dalai Lama, the Way of Peace in Northern Ireland and many other events. Her CD, Fierce Wisdom, features her world anthem, Singing Field. She has recorded with several major film, jazz, contemporary and classical musicians and composers. Chloe has recently published two Naked Voice teaching or “home learner” CD-DVDs, Your Naked Voice and Awakening Through Sound. Following her book The Naked Voice, Chloe is presently writing a new book, Sound Intelligence. thenakedvoice.com


Chloe’s workshop "Sound Intelligence: Awakening through Sound" is on Tuesday, November 18.

Sound Intelligence brings a fresh understanding to the significance of sound and voice, as humanity’s most intimate, sustainable and renewable resource for the 21st century. As unique as our DNA and finger print, our human voice can bring us into a direct encounter with our true nature, prior to rational thought, accessing a depth of self-awareness and compassion that is life-changing.

Our sound intelligence engages us in a new language of consciousness, rooted in the perennial wisdom, prior to religion, politics or law. It restores our capacity to unearth the wisdom of oneness, older and deeper than the polarity of all conflict.  Through a re-definition of the true purpose of sound and song as a wisdom language for our time, Chloe demonstrates the power of our sound intelligence to transform negative conflict or dissonance into a resonance with life, personal and universal. This courageous, rewarding process bridges our inner life with our outer world.

You'll have a direct experience of Sound Intelligence during her workshop. You will learn vocal practices and energy movements that access three realms of self-awareness through sound awareness:

• Contemplative love, an impersonal, benignly disinterested love, rooted in the unchanging world of silence and the inner life, accessed through sacred chant and mantra, and deep non-judgmental listening,
• Creative Love, an engaging personalized love, rooted in the ever-changing complexities of the passionate imagining mind, accessed by the Seven Sounds of love, or musical chakras, and
• Compassionate Love, an all-inclusive transpersonal love, rooted in an unconditional regard for the well being of humanity, transforming negative emotions into positive human feeling, accessed through the 7 musical modes and the Singing Field anthem.



Other esteemed presenters at the conference include David Hykes, Jill Purce, Richard Rudis, Don Campbell, Christine Stevens, Roxanne Daleo, Kim Atkinson, Joel Andrews, Donna Carey, Fabien Maman, Onye Onyemaechi, John & Annaliese Reid, Sue Raimond and many, many others.


In addition to the Sound Healing Conference, several other all-day intensive workshops are also being offered. Visit our website for details on these.

Toby Christensen at Third International Sound Healing Conference - Five Element Drumming

Toby Christensen will be presenting a workshop at the Third International Sound Healing Conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico USA, November 14-18, 2008.

“Change Your Rhythm and Change Your Life” is the foundation of Toby’s healing therapies, teachings and music. Known as The Healing Drummer, Toby is a recognized expert and innovator in the field of healing music. Part rock drummer/part ancient healer and a bundle of kinetic joyous energy, he uses the drum to create a force that disrupts unhealthy patterns and then combines elemental rhythms to restore and realign the mind, body and spirit. He travels across the country reaching thousands of people through his healing sessions, drumming circles, workshops, and interactive concerts.  A childhood drumming prodigy, he grew up playing in professional bands.

After becoming a pastor, he became disillusioned with the big business of religion. He found success as a senior executive for a major corporation and then as an entrepreneur with a successful line of coffee stores.

Toby then began intensive study in both Healing Drumming and Shamanism. He went to Africa to study with the Dagara of Burkina Faso. He also studied Native American Drumming at the Foundation for Shamanic Studies.

Toby has authored books and articles and recorded many CDs. He is the inventor of Sound Attunement Therapy. His latest therapeutic invention is the Crystal Healing Bed, an amazing construct of copper, crystals, and sacred geometry that intensifies the healing forces of the drum. Toby has just introduced the 5 Element Drumming DVD and CD where he teaches you how to use your drum as a tool of personal empowerment and sharing the meaning of the 5 Elements of the Dagara West African Medicine Wheel.



Toby's workshop "Five Element Drumming: Rhythms for Transformation" is on Sunday, November 16.

This workshop is an in-depth exploration of the ancient five elements of the African Dagara Medicine Wheel that will help you energize, empower and balance your life. Toby will explore in depth the teachings and rituals of each of these elements, as well as the specific drumming rhythms associated with each of these elements. Learn how each of us is inextricably linked to a certain element by birth, and how you can use this knowledge to balance your own energy and life.
Master the 5 Element Rhythms bringing balance and healing to your personal and professional life. Develop basic skills of drumming to facilitate the release of stress, increase relaxation and create new emotional patterns. Achieve balance and understand how harmful patterns affect an individual and how to implement simple exercises to immediately support healthy activity. Integrate the exercises and information into personal and professional lives, creating a happier and healthier lifestyle.
