“There is a unique voice inside you, waiting to be heard:
The voice of your true identity and being."
- Chloe Goodchild
“Journey to My Voice” is a deep listening and voice workshop.
This workshop is a journey of discovery where we renew our connection with our bodies and embark on a journey toward ourselves through our unique voices...
It is a living space of experience where practices involving the body and voice are shared, and where we deepen our exploration week by week...
This is a journey through the forest...
A process in which each traveler—guided by their own uniqueness, pace, and needs—navigates their inner forest as they wish and delves ever deeper.
On this journey of discovery with a small and close-knit group, the sisterhood of voices we form with our fellow travelers sharing the space is also a valuable part of our experience.
OUR ROADMAP
In this workshop, we will explore the following themes:
Basic Exercises for Voice and Body,
Deepening the Practice of Listening & Witnessing,
Connecting with the Body,
Connecting with Your Own Story & Roots,
Celebrating Your Authentic Voice.
Given the nature of this space, we will not follow a rigid framework with pre-set boundaries; instead, we will navigate using a living map that takes shape flexibly, guided by the group's needs and the dynamics of the moment.
WHAT AWAITS US ON THIS JOURNEY?
Our primary tools on this journey will be:
Fundamental vocal exercises,
Mindful vocal practices conducted individually, in pairs, or in groups of three,
Meditations,
Chakra toning,
Deep listening inquiries and witnessing practices.
In addition to a space for verbal sharing, we will also make room for creative expression drawn from various disciplines;
Dance and mindful movement practices,
Free-flow writing and drawing exercises
will accompany us along the way.
Rather than a technical vocal workshop, this is an inner journey exploring our relationship with our voices and ourselves. As we move forward using tools that support and encourage the expression of our voices, we will create inner safe spaces where we can express ourselves freely.
This is an invitation to listen to our voice, to honor and accept it, and to share it with the outside world...

TRACES FROM THE PREVIOUS PARTICIPANTS
" Berna , without your loving gaze, your compassionate voice, and your wise heart, neither this circle could have come together nor could we have received our share. I'm so glad we met. I lovingly recommend her to all 'travelers' who are searching for her voice."
- Remziye

- Filiz Telek
Workshop: Journey to My Voice, 2021
“I wholeheartedly wish that everyone who wants to get closer to themselves and their voice experiences this journey. May Berna's unique companionship and space-holding meet and multiply with every fortunate soul…”
- Participant
Workshop: Journey to My Voice, 2026
“All the practices you've done , that compassionate, graceful way of yours, have touched my heart completely.”
Being in the space of a woman so connected to herself brought me together with my own voice .
- Participant
Workshop: Journey to My Voice, 2026
"For me, the authentic expression of a voice goes far beyond simply singing 'beautifully.' This authentic expression encompasses connection with myself, singing from the heart, liberation, and truth...
There's also a place before 'What do I want to say?':
'What wants to be heard through me?'
I like to dwell on this question and hold space for the vibrations of the voice in this way."
- Berna
