The evening begins with a ceremonial embrace of cacao, inviting each participant to unlock their hearts, share inspiration, and coalesce in the creation of a mandala of sensory and embodied connection.
Following this opening ritual, we immerse ourselves in the ethereal sounds of Crystal Singing Bowls and Pyramids. With each resonant tone, imbued with healing intention and offered in sacred reverence, these instruments evoke a serene tranquility capable of quieting the mind and dissolving the stresses held within our bodies. Crystalline in structure, they serve as potent conduits for amplifying, storing, and transmitting intentions of healing, love, and well-being. As our bodies and DNA echo the crystalline nature of these instruments, we embark on a journey to restore balance and synchronize our mind-heart cosmic connection.
Join us as we delve into the depths of harmonic resonance, allowing the frequencies of quartz crystal to penetrate our beings and realign us with the cosmic symphony of existence. Through this transformative journey, we awaken to the innate harmony that resides within and around us, embracing a state of profound peace, healing, and cosmic alignment.
About Our Facilitators
Lea Garnier is an Integrative Sound Practitioner, Craniosacral Therapist, Yoga Teacher and Educator who has worked in the healing arts for over 30 years and is an established practitioner in the field. She began her journey as a painter. Her healing art has been displayed and sold in Europe and the US. Lea found Craniosacral Therapy in NYC after suffering neck and back injuries sustained in an auto accident, which led her to train as an Upledger Craniosacral Therapist, practicing now since 1990. In 2007 she became a certified yoga instructor trained in the Desikachar lineage. In 2008 she co-founded, Sage Academy of Sound in Woodstock, NY, a school dedicated to teaching the therapeutics of Sound Healing as a healing modality, and is currently the Director.
Lea is a student of the shamanic arts which inspired her ongoing interest in therapeutic sound for healing, which led to the organization in 2010 of the first annual comprehensive Sound Healing retreat in the Northeast, The Sound Healing Retreat Intensive. This is an ongoing platform created specifically for the pioneers of Sound Healing to come together and share their knowledge and wisdom, often resulting in deeply transformational experiences for participants. Due to its massive appeal, and to meet the demands of this emerging healing modality, Sage created The Sound Healing Certification Program in 2013. The program focuses on the fundamental areas of Sound Healing and caters to an international audience of practitioners working in the healing arts.
