Your Hosts: Camie Harvey LCSW & Jess Wille LMT

Camie Harvey, LCSW and Jess Wille, LMT are combining their unique skill set as a mental health therapist, massage therapist, trained drum circle facilitator, certified sound healer, and somatic therapist, in order to provide you with an immersive experience of intentional connection with your body and your core self. You will leave equipped with skills and awareness to move emotions through your body and facilitate your own continued healing.

I’m Camie Harvey. I use my experience and expertise as a licensed therapist, sex therapist, somatic EMDR practitioner, trained drum circle facilitator, and certified sound healer to help people to rediscover their inner strength and reconnect with their bodies in order to create a more fulfilling life.

Jess has been a dedicated practitioner of clinical massage therapy since graduating from The Rexburg College of Massage Therapy in 2018 and the owner of Teton Valley Massage & Bodywork. As an independent contractor she has partnered with other healthcare workers in many clinical settings and gained valuable experience using her training in lymphatic massage, scar tissue work, myofascial release, pre/postnatal and infant massage, and repetitive motion injury treatment. She is also certified in trauma informed care. Working with infants has become a favorite as she specializes in infant oral myofascial work. For any post surgical work, injury recovery or prevention, a safe space to heal, or just relax, Jess has got your back.

Music, Movement, Mindfulness:

Music:
Drumming and sound has been used for healing in cultures all around the world for thousands of years. Drumming is an ancient indigenous practice that is also an evidence-based practice, meaning that research studies have shown that it does amazing things for our health and wellness. Drumming boosts the immune system, lowers stress and burnout rates, improves mood, and enhances creativity and bonding within groups. A large assortment of instruments will be provided and no experience is necessary! The drumming will be a facilitated process where our different rhythms can come together. It will be easily accessible, engaging, meaningful, and fun!
Sound Healing is another ancient wellness practice for healing, relaxation, and self-care. A sound bath involves laying down and allowing the vibrations of various instruments to wash over you and “bathe” you with sound. Singing bowls, chimes, gongs, flutes, and drums all have healing vibrations that raise the vibration of your own cells in your body. Healing sounds can slow down your brain waves and put your body into a very relaxed, dreamlike state. Having a sound bath after a session of drumming allows your body and mind to integrate all that has been learned and experienced through the drumming.
Movement:
Movement allows us to get out of our heads and into our bodies. Moving your body is a way to pay attention to your senses, both inside and out. Stress and trauma are stored in our bodies and we can use our bodies to release them. Intentional healing movements can help us to move emotions through our body, to let go of what no longer serves us, to not be preoccupied by our thoughts, and to access our inner wisdom.
We will be exploring traditional healing movements such as yoga and qigong. The movements will be gentle and accessible for all body and fitness types.
Mindfulness:
Ruminating about the past causes depression. Worrying about the future creates anxiety. Mindfulness is paying attention to the present moment, without judgment. It helps us to get out of autopilot and to live our lives with more awareness and intention.
Everything we will do at this retreat will involve mindfulness. Exploring music and movement, connecting with nature, savoring delicious food, self-exploration with ourselves, bonding with others, and soaking in hot springs.
