Chloë Goodchild in conversation with  artist Ginger Gilmour, discussing compassion, love, art, Irina Tweedie, Pink Floyd, and much more.

The VOCE Dialogues offer a simple, accessible in-depth ground for poets, authors, musicians, visual artists, and visionary teachers to share and disseminate their insights about the transformative practice of contemplative, creative and compassionate communication.

Ginger Gilmour is a self-created artist and an adventurer. Born in the USA in 1949, she has lived in Britain for the last fifty years. For the first half of her life Ginger has expressed her nature through her family, marriage and the caring of their four children. She studied for eight years with the English Visionary Artist, Cecil Collins in London.  He inspired his students to touch the essence of life and then allow one's own uniqueness to create the form or drawing that would capture its treasured quality.” Now she is inspired to be ‘the soul of the artist’ bringing forth artwork which speaks to us of things that touch our hearts nearly forgotten  -  Beauty, Peace, Kindness. Ginger says, “My journey to discover my true nature has led me to visit many places within myself. I feel my work is a reflection of some of these places often we share on Life’s journey.” Ginger has written a memoir called 'The Bright Side of the Moon' - "a true story of my life and how I was challenged, survived and resurrected like the fabled tale of the phoenix rising out of the ashes on a journey with a band they call Pink Floyd and then beyond."

Chloë Goodchild in conversation with acoustics pioneer, scientist, & inventor, John Stuart Reid, discussing compassion, his experiences in the Great Pyramid, healing, sound therapy, low-frequency sound, and much more.

The VOCE Dialogues offer a simple, accessible in-depth ground for poets, authors, musicians, visual artists, and visionary teachers to share and disseminate their insights about the transformative practice of contemplative, creative and compassionate communication.

John Stuart Reid is an acoustic-physics scientist with a mission to educate, inspire, and excite the world in the field of visible sound—known to science as Faraday Wave phenomena, but popularly known as “cymatics”. 

John points out that since sound was a potent force in the creation of life in the primordial oceans, sound therefore, carries the power to heal life. 

In his frequent lectures, he reveals ground-breaking information on the mechanisms that underpin Sound Therapy and Music Medicine, and how it can be applied to improve health naturally. 

John's career in acoustics has spanned five decades and he is widely acknowledged as an authority in cymatic science, speaking on this subject at conferences in Europe and America. 

His CymaScope invention has changed our perception of sound forever: seeing sound allows us to understand this omnipresent aspect of our world and universe fuller and deeper. 

In 2021 he was invited by a European Union initiative to write a chapter for a new medical textbook on Sound Therapy and Music Medicine, a mission to begin building bridges between mainstream medicine and integrative medicine, a mission that continues to this day.
