Information:

The Naked Voice Training is an opportunity for everyone, including prospective NV facilitators, to have an in-depth experience of this ground-breaking work.
NV facilitator trainees then embark upon a Five Stage journey into the power of sound as a spiritual practice for everyday life. The NV Annual retreat is central for those wishing to become Naked Voice facilitators in the world. It is supported throughout the year by ongoing mentoring, master classes and skills sharing
workshops with the Naked Voice Facilitator graduates (www.theNVFA.org), leading to a way of service as a Naked Voice facilitator in the world.

The Naked Voice Training methodology focuses on the integration of three realms of communication – contemplative, creative and compassionate – through a process of deep non-judgemental listening and self-inquiry. Participants learn to express themselves across a wide spectrum of human feeling – spoken, sung and silent – leading to the creation of conscious caring relationships, and the ability to embody positive human values. Naked Voice trainees study a range of meditative movement, sound and vocal practices
rooted in the following skills:

Contemplative listening skills: Calming your mind, listening and observing yourself andd others without negative judgement
Creative listening skills: Opening and expressing your heart without fear
Compassionate listening skills: Transforming negative emotion into deeper positive human feeling.

The Naked Voice Training balances structured vocal practices, with times of silence and opportunities for free expression. Practitioners work alone, in small and large groups. The day includes energy movement followed by silent meditation on the healing breath, the practice of mantra, chant; and musical chakra work; leading to freer expression, improvisation, and musicianship practices exploring the seven musical modes as emotional moods, the musical octave as a journey from the root to the crown of consciousness, the singing field triads, indigenous healing songs, song writing, mystical love song, ecstatic poetry, and more.
