Sound Healing Retreat Campout!
A Weekend of Nature, Music, and Meaningful Connection
Come join us for a high vibe weekend retreat from August 15-17, 2025 that nourishes your body-mind-spirit. Enjoy sound baths, river fun, ecstatic dance, yoga/qi gong, cacao ceremony, drumming, and more—creating the perfect space to ground, rejuvenate, and connect with like-minded souls!
With roughly 30 people in attendance (space is limited so register early!), this is an intimate retreat space where we all get to know each other, everyone is a friend, and a nurturing, healing space is co-created by everyone.
Option to set up a tent, stay in a cozy cabin, or sleep in the dome. More info and pictures below.
Whether you’re coming solo, with a friend, or your whole family, this retreat is designed to nourish your body, spirit, and sense of belonging.
🌿 What to Expect:
Join us on peaceful private land with access to a clear, refreshing river with a sandy beach that’s perfect for playful summer dips, while enjoying rich experiences and sacred ceremonies, including:
-
Morning & Evening Sound Baths with gongs, crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, chimes, and more
-
Cacao Ceremony to open the heart and connect. Lightly sweetened, rose infused water and cacao!
-
Ecstatic Dance to awaken and move energy
-
Drum Circles under the stars with community rhythm and firelight (lots of drums/rattles provided!)
-
Yoga & Qi Gong to reconnect with your body, settle into your center, and align your energetic flow
-
River Play to laugh, splash, and cool down during the hot afternoons
-
Organic, Nourishing Meals (optional, with dietary accommodations available)
-
Community Fire Circles, Connection, and Friendship
Each sound bath experience will be unique. I’ll be rotating through my collection of various gongs, a dozen crystal singing bowls, 7 Tibetan bowls, and more for a fresh experience every time.
After our evening sound baths, we’ll gather around the fire with drums and rattles (instruments provided or bring your own). Dance, drum, or simply soak in the vibrations—it’s all welcome!
🛏️ Stay Your Way:
- Bring your tent, or choose from limited indoor accommodations in the cabin (women only) or the shared dome (co-ed)—complete with beds and linens.
- Stay for both nights or just Saturday night—whatever works for you.
👨👩👧👦 Family Friendly:
- All genders and all ages are welcome.
- Children who can sit quietly are welcome to join for sound meditations, otherwise we ask they not hang around in that section of the grounds. Typically young ones have a guardian taking them elsewhere and the older kids go off to play the various games set up.
💫 Affordable & Heart-Centered:
With over 20 years of experience leading sound baths, workshops, and retreats, I’ve designed this gathering to be accessible, magical, and rooted in community.

Testimonials
Thanks again for hosting the campout. I loved being there on that land amongst great people and your sound vibes – good medicine all the way around! Would love to join again if it’s in the cards for next year.
~Scott Benish
I really enjoyed the sound healing retreat campout. It felt very relaxed with the perfect amount of offerings scheduled throughout each day. Everyone was friendly and seemed to have arrived with intentionality which created an inviting ambiance of kinship and safety. I’d most definitely attend again.
~Jason Skipper
I love Nicole Alcyon’s sound healing offerings. I attended her weekend retreat in Kalama, WA this past summer, and it was so powerful. It gave me the space for reflection and centering that I needed as I was stepping into a new chapter of my life. The support that I received from Nicole, as well as the others in attendance was so nourishing and filled me with a sense of gratitude. I am very excited about the Crown Chakra Sound Healing and Meditation and look forward to the experience. 
~Kellene Kulas
I appreciate all you put into this retreat and the full schedule of events and clear communications on what was happening and when.
“I recently attended my first sound bath with Nicole Alcyon and can attest to its powerful healing and safe space. The vibrations from the bowls, gongs and chimes took me to another world. I had the privilege of participating in four sound baths over a weekend retreat. Each sound bath was unique in the experience I felt. Nicole is a gifted healer and pours her heart and soul into the practice. I wholeheartedly recommend lavishing in the languorous luxury of Nicole’s sound bath healing energies. Go to far away places and mend.”
~Peter Dubois

Meet Nicole Alcyon
Retreat Campout Facilitator, Certified Hypnotherapist, Sound Healer.
Meet Kandiss Gatten
Yoga teacher, traveler, equine healing facilitator, and Reiki practitioner.
At this beautiful retreat campout, I’ll be teaching yoga as a 200-hour certified teacher, with 300+ hours of experience teaching my own classes based in Sandy, OR. It is always my goal to simply provide the space as an invitation to allow you to make this your personal practice.
Yoga is my greatest passion, for I believe it to be a beautiful, ancient paved path that bridges together the mind, body, and soul. My style is a mix between Hatha and Vinyasa—we’ll begin gently, then work our way into a slightly more powered-up, strengthening, expansive flow to awaken the body. Each session will end with a soothing Savasana and Yoga Nidra.
I am so very excited and delighted to meet you all and flow together. Namaste.
