Take the next step on your journey into the sonic depths of your own being, expand your mind and spirit, amplify your musical vocabulary and practices, curate your own repertoire of melodies as medicine, and ignite the magic of resonance.
Harness the transformative power of your voice to unlock healing, impart wisdom, and re-enchant your musical life.
Now that you’ve experienced your voice as a gateway to the transformation of consciousness and felt its tone magic reverberate as a joyful presence in your cells and soul...
... how do you plan to nurture these unsung treasures to source your inspiration and aliveness from the inside out?
A new 12-module advanced course on medicine melodies, the icaros, and healing with your voice with Silvia Nakkach, a Grammy-nominated musician, composer, and sound designer, will guide you into the deep resonance of your voice, sacred music of the world, and devotional chants and mantras that promote healing, intuition, and inner wisdom.
This new course, available only to graduates of Silvia’s latest course, is an invitation to access higher states of creativity and insight through an original repertoire of vocal cultures that expand and refine diverse sound modalities...
... from the benefits of neuro-coherence stimulated by mantras and the ragas of India to the healing magic of Indigenous songs and the icaros, medicine songs of the Amazon forests.
With Silvia, you’ll find a wise and welcoming mentor who is invested in your development as a healing artist. She’ll offer direct guidance to students who are comfortable receiving group feedback on specific areas of practice as they move through the course.
You’ll also be invited to record yourself and submit it in the class Facebook group. Silvia will leave feedback, so all will have a chance to get direct feedback from her and find new creative collaborators among the group.
Every class has been conceived as a voice and musical journey where you will learn a powerful medicine melody and an icaro, or a mantra and a vocal meditation — plus vocal exercises and instruments to accompany, revitalize, and embody both the somatic and the poetics of freeing the voice unconditionally.
You’ll also have the opportunity to co-create with others, presenting recordings, sharing “live” music, and collaborating with a group of fellow travelers.
Vocally, the focus will be on intonation and range development while immersing in the spiritual matrix of melody and let the gods play.
Throughout this profound musical journey of sound activations, you’ll:
- Deep dive into icaros and medicine melodies of various cultures through group call-and-response chanting
- Learn about spiritual sources and gather a repertoire of healing chants
- Develop professional and practical applications of vocal techniques to increase your sonic vocabulary
- Learn how to facilitate ceremonies through chant and sound healing — and study groups
- Access higher states of creativity and healing with the voice
- Explore innovative healing modalities to open your voice through ancient breathing and sonorous yogic practices
- Discover how certain sounds, musical intervals, scales, rhythms, and chants impact specific areas of the brain and body
- Free yourself from any personal memory of vocal constraint and empower your confidence and readiness to sing
- Build a daily practice of chants and sounds that clear, tune, and stimulate the brain and the energy of the chakras
- Identify ways to transform energy patterns and emotional states through unusual vocal cultures
- Learn how to play simple musical instruments as healing tools
- Realize which musical culture awakens your musical lineage
- Build professional collaborations, networking, guidance, and mentoring
- Embody divinity through sound, enhancing vitality, and fostering a sense of wellbeing, openness, and love
- And much more...
Silvia’s approach to sound and music taps into life energy (prana) — a primordial vehicle for releasing tensions and the most natural way to align with the Divine.
This approach activates your circulatory system, clears your mind, and helps prompt your relaxation response — while opening pathways to new music that can enhance your creativity and joy.
It also acts as a vital force, massaging your body organs and balancing your metabolic rhythms and nervous system coherence, all while stimulating what Silvia refers to as the “frequency of enjoyment.”
You’ll experience this firsthand as Silvia teaches you how music and the voice create generative soundscapes that facilitate balance and clear the mind...
... and explore the expressive and contemplative energy of the voice as you delve into acoustic subtleties and refined melodiousness through extended vocal techniques, songwriting,and beyond genres improvisation.
You’ll develop your range, timbre, placement, resonance, dynamics, intonation, breath and muscle coordination... learn deity invocations, Sufi and Amazonian chants, and powerful seed syllables...
... and witness as the voice becomes a mirror of moods, characters, images, and dreams.
You’ll dive deeper into Nada Yoga, Kirtan, Bhakti Yoga and Tibetan spiritual music, Afro-Brazilian healing songs, intuitive playing...
... and how sound tools such as drones, tuning forks, bells, and drumming can enliven the senses and expand your acoustic spectrum and sonic potential.
Join Silvia on this profound journey of self-discovery through the mysteries of vibrational medicine and the human voice.

“I feel a much deeper connection to life force...”
When I practice with Silvia’s music, I feel a much deeper connection to life force coming through my body. I feel held tenderly and feel free to explore and be taken by the tender melodies that sing through me.
Regina Marcelita
“... opened up an area of exploration that I hadn’t explored previously...”
It was a very vocally freeing course for me. The integration of Indigenous vocal practices into my own voice practice opened up an area of exploration that I hadn’t explored previously, and it was both engaging and intriguing. I saw the value in these methods and am interested in learning more!

More Praise for Silvia Nakkach...
“Silvia’s work transcends mere music...”
Having had the privilege of listening to Silvia Nakkach sing and teach for many years, I am continually awed by the transformative power of her voice. Through her artistry, Silvia has a unique ability to guide you toward embracing your voice and becoming your own song — and when you become your song, all is possible. Silvia’s work transcends mere music; it is a journey of self-discovery and empowerment through sound.
Dr John Beaulieu, ND, PhD, composer, psychologist, and founder of BioSonic Enterprises, Ltd.
“Silvia masterfully frees my voice...”
In my 12 years of exploring the voice with Silvia, I have never been in the same class twice. Silvia masterfully frees my voice, and anyone who will devote themselves to attaining that freedom will be given wings to soar. Much like those connect-the-dots drawings we loved as children — each raga, each vocal meditation, mantra, or medicine melody offered by Silvia connects new dots within us until our voices become living poetry and we disappear in sound.
Devavani Lawrence, recording artist, music director, teacher, and author of Falling Off the Moon
“Silvia does not merely teach; she kindles a flame in the hearts of those who gather around her...”
Silvia is the custodian of a legacy, preserving, enriching, and sharing her bounty of findings with generosity and love. In her presence, we are all seekers and keepers of the eternal song. Silvia does not merely teach; she kindles a flame in the hearts of those who gather around her, a flame that lights the way back to our inner treasures. She is a maestro of the soul’s orchestra, inviting us to play our notes in the grand symphony of life. I look forward to each class as a sacred time and space for me.
Bina Mehta, mantra and Sanskrit scholar, and CEO of Methi Masala
“[We] will never be the same.”
Since my workshop with Silvia Nakkach, the only way I can articulate is by breaking apart layers of sediment, stirring them, and dissolving them. The deepest in-between spaces are getting loosened up and being molecularly reorganized in the way of shamanic work, and we will never be the same.
Joslyn Lawrence, shamanic practitioner
