The Soul Voice® Practitioners' Certification Program with Founder Karina Schelde: Module 3 at Mana Retreat

The Soul Voice® Practitioners' Certification Program is a professional training in sound healing, and this is its third module, led by the modality's founder, Karina Schelde, at Mana Retreat Centre in Coromandel, New Zealand. It is a residential course of about eight days for people working toward certification as a Soul Voice® practitioner or therapist.

Soul Voice® is a sound healing modality that uses the voice as a vibrational instrument. Its aim is to free the voice, ease the limitations that hold it back, and open the way to more authentic expression and communication. Those drawn to voice work, vocal sound healing or practitioner-level training in a voice-based method will find this a focused place to study.

What to Expect

The program is educational and leads to certification, so the days are built around learning the method as well as experiencing it. Soul Voice® works with vibrational frequencies carried by the voice, through a range of exercises, techniques and practices particular to this method. The stated intentions include reducing stress, supporting well-being, clearing blocks, old patterns and negative beliefs, shifting states of consciousness, and releasing creative expression.

Karina Schelde describes the voice as a "vibrational blueprint" and speaks of each voice carrying a Soul Print, a code that holds a person's story and ancestral roots. That idea sits at the heart of the work. The course begins on the first afternoon at four o'clock and finishes at two o'clock on the final day.
