The Singing Field Membership
Facilitator: Chloe Goodchild
Event time: Wed 10th Mar 2021 at 6:30pm - Wed 1st Dec 2021 at 8:00pm
Chloe Goodchild has had a longstanding and well-rooted relationship with Hawkwood for almost three decades. The depth of her work brings an astonishing resonance that fills the grounds of Hawkwood and beyond – more recently with our online programme, beyond all borders and across the whole planet.
It is in this deeply potent time that Chloe has received very clear direction of a new and deeply informed wave of her work with The Naked Voice. To share this with you, Chloe is partnering with Hawkwood to offer you an annual membership beginning this Spring 2021. Moving beyond the music of the everyday, Chloe encourages all to explore the language of the spirit, the language of the soul and more importantly, the language of silence. Creating an ongoing and explorative, collaborative listening field – we invite you to join, with your Living Presence – this Community of Sound.
Bookings for this membership will close on Friday 30 April – 23:59 BST
Having enjoyed sharing the transformative practices of the human voice for many years. Supported by deep non-judgemental listening, energy movement, and the spoken, silent and sung language of the soul; I am now looking forward to evolving a totally new depth of self-discovery and expression. I would like to start this with you, catalysed by the musical modes, which originated in ancient Greece.
‘What are they?’ you may ask, and ‘Do you need to be “musical” to take this training?’. Not in the conventional sense. You just need to be willing to explore the emotions of your soul in pioneering new ways, as melodies rather than maladies. As musical modes, or sonic pathways rather than emotional ‘moods’. When we express our emotional moods, we make happy or sad sounds.
In this in-depth training you will discover 7 specific musical modes. These ‘sound codes’ whose vibrational patterns open up the music of your soul, empowering you to express your true feelings more consciously. As well as and transforming them into the sounds & songs of your soul. This musical process – from moods into modes – is largely unexplored. Yet in all my experiential research, there is no question how your vocal moods can become homeopathic medicine in alleviating so many things. Such as: negativity, isolation, fear and suffering, liberating old narratives, healing old wounds, and revealing your true voice.
This is both a sacred art form as well as a spiritual practice.
Over the Course of Three Terms, from Spring 2021-2022 we will explore & express the Seven Musical modes. Across the cycle of four seasons of the year, discovering how your voice can awaken a new language of consciousness. Which in turn, liberates your rational mind to serve and inspire your intuitive heart.

Preparations
This course welcomes all, whether you have worked with Chloe before, or not. However, it is not for the faint-hearted. In the months prior to the start of the Course we encourage you to prepare by reading Chloe’s book, and studying her “Your Naked Voice – Transform your Life through the Power of Sound”. As well as studying her Introductory Training which you can access from here.
The Course Sessions above are an outline of the journey that we will take together with the musical modes highlighted in Chloe’s award-winning “Awakening through Sound” audiobook (Sounds True). You will also receive an audio download with practices of each session, enabling you to discover the deeper healing emotional dimensions of your soul. The dimensions will be revealed by each respective musical mode, in greater depth throughout the year long training.
