Lea Garnier has worked in the healing arts for over 25 years and is an established practitioner in the field. She is an Upledger trained Craniosacral Therapist, practicing now since 1990. In 2007 she became a certified yoga instructor trained in the Desikachar lineage, and co-founded Sage Academy of Sound and Center for the Healing Arts in Woodstock, NY. Lea is a student of the shamanic arts which inspired her ongoing interest in therapeutic sound for healing, which led to the organization in 2011 of the first annual comprehensive SoundHealing retreat in the northeast, The SoundHealing Retreat Intensive. Now in its 13th year, it 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 SoundHealing 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. In 2013 Gong Camp, with 89-year-old master Don Conreaux was created. Gong camp is a rare opportunity to study with Don who has been traveling the world for over 40 years teaching the wisdom and power of the gong. In 2014 Lea created an innovative program integrating sound healing and various styles of yoga, specifically Yin and Vinyasa. This grew into a teacher training called The Yoga of Sound, a Nada Yoga Retreat.More here: https://sageacademyofsound.com/our-story

Katya Varlamova is a clinical herbalist, naturopath, plant wellness educator, and founder of the organic herbal wellness line Warmicita Herbals.
Katya's journey with the plants started in back 2006. Just two short years later she was calling on their healing powers to help her recover from a devastating traffic accident. Lovingly and patiently, the plants helped her restore her physical body and held space for the much needed emotional healing to unfold. Ever since, they have been guiding Katya on a powerful journey of self-discovery and healing magic. Years of herbal studies, adventures and work have followed. They have taken Katya around the US, South America and Europe - growing medicinal plants, making remedies, practicing clinical herbalism, and holding plant medicine circles and retreats. In her work with clients Katya relies on the healing powers of Western herbs, precious teachings of TCM and Ayurveda, and magical gifts of the Amazonian plant medicine. When the work calls for shifts in the non-physical realms of being she frequently uses flower and tree essences, gem elixirs, guided meditation, inner child work, breath work, ritual and ceremony. Katya leads plant walks, hosts women’s circles, and teaches plant medicine classes & retreats in NYC, the Hudson Valley, the Andes and the Amazon.

About Katya's Private Practice
Having worked for years as a successful Creative Director, Scott sought something with a deeper resonance. Liking the tone of sound baths, he decided to attend one at Sage Academy of Sound Energy in Woodstock, NY, on a whim. That experience was his big bang and first awakened him to the power of Sound. With a deeper understanding of what good vibes meant, he felt a strong need to go deeper and, in 2015, decided to train with Sage.
Since then, he's been working with them regularly to spread sonal sunshine. He is now part of the Sage Sound Sangha and one of their senior teachers. In addition to bathing in Sound, he recently added bathing in Forests to his offerings. Practicing as a Forest Therapy Guide has allowed him to work with new kinds of vibrational medicine and wisdom – that of nature. Much like Sound, it enables him to create more opportunities for people to meet themselves at the gate of their own healing paths with the support of something greater. He divides his time between upstate and Brooklyn.

Details of this retreat
In 2011 Sage Academy of Sound, located in Woodstock NY, created the 1st annual SoundHealing retreat intensive at Menla. After directly experiencing the healing benefits of sound, and dedicated to sharing this with others, the founders created a platform that would give sound pioneers a beautiful environment to share their knowledge, rest and explore. Thirteen years later, this program, led by Sage Academy director & founder, Lea Garnier, continues to inspire many on the healing path of vibrational medicine.
The world’s foremost experts in the art and science of SoundHealing will come together to immerse retreat participants in the sacred power of sound. Under the guidance of these remarkable scholars, doctors, healers, and sound practitioners, students will explore the healing potential of Tuning Forks, Crystal Bowls and Pyramids, Tibetan Bowls, Sacred Gongs and Bells, Voice, Drums, Conch, Flutes and other sacred sound instruments. Participants will learn the therapeutic application of sound tools to create sacred space, shift and expand consciousness, address a range of physical conditions, restore balance, and promote positive change at the cellular level.
Featuring: sound pioneer Silvia Nakkach, with Lea Garnier, Angell Deer, Katya Varlamova, Scott Williams & special guests
