ABOUT THE PROGRAMVocal Odyssey is a deep yet playful self-inquiry journey of discovery into the mystery and healing forces of our most intimate musical instrument – our voice.
The process aims to pierce through the voices in our heads and to open a door for a new relationship between us and the transformative quality of our vocal expression. To bring us a bit closer to our beautiful, raw, wild and imperfect human flow.
The voice is our bridge to something bigger than ourselves; it is our connection to the prayer we carry. In this group, we will reconnect to the simple and natural way of expressing our authentic voice beyond judgments, painful beliefs and limiting conditionings.

NESSI GOMES
Nessi Gomes is a British–Portuguese singer-songwriter and holistic voice practitioner, internationally recognised for her unique approach to the voice as a gateway to emotional expression, inner alchemy, and human connection. She holds a BA (Hons) in Creative Expressive Therapies (2007) and is a holistic voice practitioner, certified in Holistic Voice Therapy with The British Academy of Sound Therapy (BAST, 2014).
Born on the island of Guernsey to parents from Madeira, Nessi grew up using singing and music as a way to navigate inner landscapes, transform emotion, and connect with the unseen. Her artistic and therapeutic roots naturally merged into what would later become the foundation of Vocal Odyssey.
As the founder and creator of Vocal Odyssey, Nessi has guided thousands of people across the world through retreats, workshops, and online journeys, inviting them into a deeper relationship with their voice. Her work blends vocal exploration, ritual, narrative inquiry, movement, and compassionate witnessing, offering a space where the voice becomes both anchor and portal, a place to meet oneself with honesty, tenderness, and courage.
Her musical career continues to influence and inspire her teaching. With a devoted global audience, Nessi’s songs and performances are known for their emotional depth, honesty, and textured soundscapes. This artistry forms the backbone of the Vocal Odyssey experience, where creativity becomes a path of healing, transformation, and reconnection with one’s authentic self.
Nessi currently leads retreats and gatherings around the world alongside her husband and collaborator, Lino Hermesh, and continues to develop the Vocal Odyssey Method, an evolving body of work rooted in presence, resonance, storytelling, and embodied expression.
