Episode description

Every Wednesday on the Hippie Haven podcast, learn how to live harmoniously with yourself, others & the planet. We talk about all things hippie, including eating vegan, reducing your trash, starting an ethical business, eco-activism, gardening, beekeeping, tiny house living, and so much more.

Today's guest is Sharon Carne, creator of Sound Wellness, a holistic modality that uses techniques based on sound and music to bring your body, mind, emotions, and spirit back into harmony to reduce stress, allow natural healing and prevent illness. In 2020 the World Health Organization estimates that 75% of deaths around the world will be due to chronic illnesses and stress is a major factor in chronic illnesses. In fact, the World Health Organization declared stress to be the health epidemic of the 21st century as eco anxiety or anxiety around the existing climate crisis and future survival of the human race. As that grows, I want to talk more about ways that we can all reduce a little stress in our day to day lives. So Sharon is here to share her tips related to sound healing based on a program that she originally developed for the integrated health institute at the Mount Royal University in Canada and his since presented to the Canadian Mental Health Commission, the Alberta Health region conference on chronic disease management, the Manitoba Health region, and the national health work and wellness conference in Quebec plus many others.

The Hippie Haven Podcast is hosted by Callee - a zero waste activist & business owner. Formerly a translator for the US Navy, Callee was honorably discharged as a conscientious objector in 2017 following an episode of severe depression & alcoholism fueled by not living in alignment with her core values. That same year, at age 23, she started Bestowed Essentials, a handmade line of eco-friendly beauty & home products that are now stocked in over 100 stores around the US & Canada. Callee began hosting this free podcast in August 2018, as well as speaking at events and teaching educational workshops across the country, as part of her life mission to arm you with the knowledge & tools you need to spark positive change in your community. In December 2019, she opened The Hippie Haven in Rapid City, South Dakota - a zero waste retail store & community space with a little free library - the first of its kind in the state. She’ll be opening a second Hippie Haven in Salem, Oregon in Feb 2021.
