About this Retreat
Lea Garnier has worked in the healing arts for over 20 years and is an accomplished practitioner in this field. She began her healing journey by making healing paintings that have been displayed, sold and published in Europe and New York State. Lea found Craniosacral Therapy in NYC after suffering neck and back injuries sustained in an auto accident. The relief she found from this work was so profound she momentarily put down her painting brushes to pursue training.
She now has more than 15 years experience as an Upledger trained Craniosacral Therapist and has a private practice at
Sage Center for the Healing Arts in Woodstock, NY, a center she co-founded in 2007, and co-directs with her husband Philippe Garnier.

In 2008 she became a certified yoga instructor trained in the Desikachar linage, and specializes in teaching the integration of sound healing and sound awareness (nada) with
gentleasana in a yoga class setting. A safe and fun environment is created which integrates the sacred sound medicine of crystal singing bowls, gongs, mantra and traditional instruments from various indigenous cultures. She teaches the 1st Sunday of every month from 2 to 3:30pm.
Details of this retreat
“No one can resist the power of a gong played well” Baba Don Conreaux
A tone of fullness, when suspended in acoustic space, feeds back upon itself. This looping of sound volume is called nesting, and it finds its center of balance in 4th dimensional space, in a non-dimension of No Time. Any sound that is "fattened," made fuller and suspended in time, takes on a more holistic quality of resonance, continuously spilling more of itself into the acoustic volume of space until it attains its fullness potential. Bathing in this space, the overtones of the gongs feed us until we reach a state of Holistic Resonance. We can sense the feeling of our own body transform into a feeling of no body as we surrender to the gongs and allow them to do their work. There is a paranormal sense of levitation, timelessness and bliss that can be experienced, along with a consciousness of detachment, compassion and peace.
A Full Moon represents culmination, illumination, and heightened energy. It is a time when emotions, desires, and intentions come to the surface, revealing clarity and insight. This phase is associated with completion, celebration, and release—offering an opportunity to let go of what no longer serves and embrace transformation. The Full Moon's radiant light amplifies intuition and spiritual awareness, making it a powerful time for reflection, gratitude, and deep energetic work. It is a moment of heightened manifestation, where what was set in motion during the New Moon comes into fruition.
