So, I keep seeing postings for the Heebeegeebees on CMT tribes.
As a CMT, this group makes me skin crawl.
From everything I've heard from other CMTs, 90% of the people who work in this "healing village" have NO training or certifications at all- except maybe an occasional 14 hour "couples massage" or tantra class.
Of course, this likely do the fact that most CMTs are highly overworked and underpaid and likely want to spend their vacation time off so they can keep from getting repetitive strain injuries, not exacerbate them by working in the hot sun.
Another issue I have with this "healing village" is that a few years ago, a friend's sister was molested there against her will- along with many other women- and they successfully took this "healer" to court and won!
I have never heard of this having been addressed among people who have volunteered for that camp.
So how come the Heebeegeebees continuously take people with NO credentials, NO insurance, NO professional training and then give their clients NO warning?
Sounds to me like a breeding ground for any perv who wants to molest people in the guise of a healer.

Re: Hee Bee Gee Bee Healers
Thu, July 31, 2008 - 1:21 PMThat's because they are giving "Sensual Massauge"
Lots of oil, little pressure, nothing more than skimming the hands all over the body and when you get'em all aroused slip a few fingers in. They're wet, they want it. Right?
Let me at 'em. They give sensual... and I'll give them deep tissue with my fist. KA-POW!

Re: Hee Bee Gee Bee Healers
Fri, August 1, 2008 - 9:42 AMWell if they're really an "oil spreader" group, they should advertise themselves as such....but I guess if you don't ask for credentials, you get what you come for.....
I can't imagine too many therapists are willing to destroy their tables on the playa. -

Re: Hee Bee Gee Bee Healers
Sat, August 2, 2008 - 12:59 AMi work in the biz you're describing (though i'm on the more spiritual end of the spectrum) and i can vouch for the fact that the only people who would miss work to spend all their money driving all the way to the middle of nevada just to set up a "healing tent" are doing it for their own gratification. I get paid $100/hr and while i enjoy the work, i'm not inclined to do it for free on my days off, nor could i possibly be paid enough to touch a smelly burner's naked bits.
nuff sed.

Re: Hee Bee Gee Bee Healers
Mon, August 4, 2008 - 6:27 PMYeah, the thought of massaging people who haven't showered in a week isn't grand, either. Can you imagine their feet? Eeewww.... -

Re: Hee Bee Gee Bee Healers
Tue, August 5, 2008 - 12:01 AMimagining how many sperm have died on the playa is even more frightening, though burner Teva foot does evoke some heebeegeebees.

Re: Hee Bee Gee Bee Healers
Sun, August 17, 2008 - 5:32 PMYou've heard of "warm stone" massage or whatever? I do something similar, it's called a "warm feces" massage. Basically I take a dump on the client's back before I start rubbing them down and feeling them up. The soothing aroma of the fresh feces, and the relaxing warmth, provide a deeper level of relaxation so I can really get inside the client and heal what ails them. I find this technique is most effective on females ages 13-17. -

Thu, September 11, 2008 - 11:20 AM"I have never heard of this having been addressed among people who have volunteered for that camp. "
Although this specific incident wasn't brought up directly, other guest healers shared their experiences at HeeBeeGeeBees (good an bad). Here's the link to the direct thread you may find interesting, and responses from people who help run the healing space heebeegeebeehealers.tribe.net/thr...1c75
their tribe - heebeegeebeehealers.tribe.net
and their yahoo group - groups.yahoo.com/group/Hee...e_Healers/
You may want to try contacting them directly to voice your concerns. I'm sure they would be more than happy to answer your questions regarding licensing, training, etc. -

Re: Hee Bee Gee Bee Healers
Thu, September 11, 2008 - 5:24 PMNo, I'm assuming Molly was asking a pertinent question considering someone she knew was molested there. Unless the post was just made for public fodder, I took the complaint seriously and wanted to direct her to the appropriate outlet to voice her concern. -

Re: Hee Bee Gee Bee Healers
Thu, September 11, 2008 - 5:33 PMwell i suppose there would be some value in voicing a concern in a forum where it might actually result in some positive changes....
but we're all about fodder here. If not for fodder, this might be just another Burning Man tribe.
Welcome to Fodder Man. -

Re: Hee Bee Gee Bee Healers
Thu, September 11, 2008 - 10:42 PMYes, this is a place to point out how utterly stupid burning man is and all that attend. There is no salvation for the playaheads.

Re: Hee Bee Gee Bee Healers
Mon, September 15, 2008 - 5:09 PMSeeing as the guy was convicted of several various charges in court, I'm sure they know about the complaint. I feel no need to be redundant.
I know several people who've worked with the Heebees and they say it's 95% no license. This comes from people with experience, who I trust, who are actually into BM.
I couldn't give a rat's ass about their credentials myself, I would a) never go and b) never let them touch me.

Re: Hee Bee Gee Bee Healers
Mon, September 15, 2008 - 5:11 PMOh and no, molestation is not a joke. The judge didn't think so either. It was quite the hoopla about 3 years ago. -

interesting irony though, that it ended up in this thread of all places. -
