Chloe Goodchild
Pioneering voice expert of the Naked Voice shares her vision of vocal empowerment for all.
“What does it mean to find your voice? It has nothing to do with the desire to impress others, to perform, but to find the voice that is resourced from the source of who you are, and that involves a combination of gradual revelation and grace. It is a graceful act, having to be really hungry to find your voice; and the revelation, that you have to be willing to fall in love with who you are, the whole story, the whole spectrum of craziness and madness. To activate the whole spectrum of human emotion, of who you are.”
Chloë Goodchild is founder of The Naked Voice, a pioneering vocal training, founded in 1990, exploring voice as a spiritual practice, sustained by conscious core practices, devotional music, and audio-books that empower you to embody and express your authentic voice. The Naked Voice Charitable Foundation was established in 2004, to restore ethical, healthy, happy and harmonious relationships -personal, global and universal. Chloe’s seminal book, The Naked Voice – Transform Your Life through the Power of Sound (North Atlantic Books, 2015) provides a comprehensive & instructional account of the essential Naked Voice wisdom of sound. Chloe is a faculty member and author for The Shift Network and Sounds True. Her music albums, online courses, & new Podcast Series VOCE Dialogues - Voices of Compassionate Evolution - can be found at her websites.

Pioneering researcher and Sound Medicine author shares insights into the power of mantra for regeneration.
“As we start to look at ourselves and life in general as a series of fields of energies (the basic premise of the human biofield) it matches the ancients' description. We are fields of energy! As you tap into cellular fields, you are able to access greater knowledge and greater capabilities. When you start using sound from those different fields you are going to be able to do more and more towards your true human potential.”
Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary’s combined expertise in both modern neurology and the ancient science of health known as Ayurveda has uniquely positioned her as an expert able to pull from the broadest possible base to treat her clients.
Dr. Chaudhary was the Director of Wellspring Health in Scripps Memorial Hospital for ten years. She is the author of The Prime and Sound Medicine and has appeared as a medical expert on numerous programs including The Dr. Oz Show and Home & Family. She is also a neuroscientist and has participated in over twenty clinical research studies. Her research includes groundbreaking work in stem cell therapies for diabetic peripheral neuropathy and drug development for the treatment of ALS.

Dave Stringer
Kīrtan leader explains the good drugs our brains make when we chant, whether we believe in it or not.
“We are essentially clouds that think we’re solid. There’s a symphony of neuropeptides that flood our system when we chant. There are a lot of reasons that things get torn apart… and chanting is one practice that works to bring us together.”
Dave Stringer is a Grammy-nominated producer, musician and songwriter who has been widely profiled as one of the most innovative artists of the modern Yoga movement. He's both an inspiring singer and a compelling public speaker, resolving neuroscience, yoga philosophy and art into a participatory theatrical experience. He is featured in the documentary films Mantra: Sounds Into Silence and The Power of Mantra and has toured extensively, leading concerts, workshops and retreats all over the world.

Indigenous culture advocate shares about weaving peace through spirit, sound, and music.
“We emit vibrations and each of us is a kind of walking symphony. Ask yourself, ‘how do you want others to hear the sound of your heart? What symphony is it playing?’ You cannot take others along with you on your awakening. Instead, live your beliefs, your own awakening inside yourself, and follow your hearts calling…. The shift of consciousness begins inside, not out. Once the peace is inside you, take it with you wherever you go.”

Ayana Dake
Wellness entrepreneur tells her story from deep depression to championing others' transformation through the power of mantra.
"Mantra chanting is very, very useful for modern urban people. Because when we try to meditate without sound (like Japanese Zen style) it’s totally difficult for the beginner! We have way too much busy-ness in our minds to sit quietly. But with mantra, from the very first experience, it’s so easy for people to feel the silence after the sound."

Ayana has worked as a dancer in a ballet company and as a singer in the music industry in Japan and China. She has learned many bodywork and spiritual practices from the deep revelation of the power of sound that she experienced repeatedly since her childhood, and created a method of and started WISDOM, LLC. In 2013, she met Anandra George and learnt mantra meditations, NVC, Ayurveda etc a lot with her through training courses and online, and in 2015 started up HEART OF SOUND Japan.
