Come Home to Yourself Retreat:
An Oasis for Heart & Soul
July 24-27, 2025
at Light on the Hill Retreat Center,
nestled in the heart of the Finger Lakes of western NY

Is your heart seeking a soft place to land?
Is your soul longing for a place to rest, to be free, and to express? We are living in unprecedented times. The world feels uncertain, fast-moving, and relentlessly demanding—and it’s taking a toll. It’s easy to lose yourself in the swirl of responsibilities and expectations. To feel like you're running on empty, stretched too thin, or completely disconnected from your center. But there is another way. This retreat offers you the sacred pause your heart and soul are asking for. A place to remember, replenish, and return — home to your true self. A Time to Turn Inward When the outside world feels chaotic, the most powerful thing you can do is go within. To listen. To feel. To remember what matters. To come together in a safe, sacred space with others who are seeking the same kind of deep nourishment and renewal. Do any of these feel familiar? You put others' needs ahead of your own — constantly. You’ve forgotten what you want or need. You feel exhausted, burned out, or just plain overwhelmed. You are not alone. And you don’t have to fix or figure anything out. Maybe you just need a little time and space. Why Retreat? A retreat is not a luxury — it’s a lifeline. It offers space to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with your inner wisdom. It’s a pause in the noise, a sacred place to reset, reimagine, and realign. At Coming Home to Yourself, you’ll find: A calm, nurturing environment that soothes your nervous system A circle of kindred spirits who honor your truth Practices and experiences that help you return to your center During Our Time Together, You’ll Be Invited To: Slow down and quiet the outer noise Tune in to your inner wisdom and guidance Rest, reflect, and renew in sacred stillness Cultivate radical self-care and deep compassion for yourself Get out of your mind and into your body through various movement offerings Connect with the beauty and healing offerings of nature Strengthen your foundation from the inside out Discover the joy, peace, and power that live within an authentic life Allow space for sacred silence and soulful connection Come Home to Yourself This retreat is a sanctuary for your soul — a place to remember who you are beneath the noise. When you come home to yourself, you build resilience, restore energy, and reconnect with your deepest truth. This sacred space and time will help you remember or discover who you are within the larger context of your life. You'll leave with: A renewed sense of clarity and purpose Tools and practices to support your well-being in daily life A deeper connection to yourself, to others — and to something greater "It is especially tempting in times of transition and challenge to abandon our homes, to leave our territory, in search of answers, perhaps by worrying about what will happen in the future. This is precisely the moment when we need to return to the present moment, feel our bodies, and take good care of ourselves now. Because the future is made of this moment. If we take good care of this moment, even if it is very difficult, we are taking good care of the future." - Kaira Jewel Lingo, We Were Made for These Times |
A new day begins at Light on the Hill!
Please bring a journal and pen, dress comfortably in layers,
and bring whatever else will make you comfortable during our weekend.
The schedule will allow for several hours of time
each afternoon when you are free
to deepen your connection
with yourself in your own way
(a number of suggested possibilities will be offered).
During this unstructured time, you may choose to walk the labyrinth, play with creativity,
meditate, journal, explore the beautiful 200+ acres, or enjoy a nap.
Or you may want to bring along some supplies for your own
creating, drawing, writing, reading, meditating…
anything that will support you in slowing down and going within.
Weather permitting, we will have a campfire on at least one of our evenings.

Move Into Presence: Embodying, Expressing, and Honoring Your True Self
Yoga with Carol Moon - We’re honored to have the delightful, intuitive, and skillful Carol guiding gentle yoga practices throughout the retreat. These sessions are offered as a way to integrate, release, relax, and embody whatever is arising for you in the moment.
All practices are optional and can be adapted to suit your needs—whether seated, standing, or a blend of both. Carol will meet you where you are and help you discover what feels best for your body and spirit.
At the heart of Carol’s teaching is the belief that yoga is the art of listening—to breath, to body, and to the present moment. It’s about meeting yourself just as you are, with compassion and awareness.
Yoga offers profound gifts: presence, patience, strength, balance, and equanimity. These qualities are cultivated on the mat and carried into daily life, supporting you far beyond the retreat.
With her signature warmth, humor, and deep respect for each individual’s journey, Carol creates a space where you’re encouraged to trust your body’s wisdom and move in a way that truly nourishes you.

Join Barb Klein—retreat facilitator, guide, and Possibilitator—for a deeply nurturing experience designed to support your whole being: body, mind, heart, and spirit. This retreat is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and come home to yourself.
Throughout our time together, you’ll be gently guided into curiosity, wonder, and self-exploration. You’ll have the opportunity to step outside your usual routines and embrace a new rhythm—one that opens space for fresh insights and awakening to new possibilities.
Each morning begins with an optional free dance session, a playful and joyful way to greet the day. Barb curates mindful, uplifting playlists that align with the spirit of our retreat, creating a welcoming space to move, feel, and connect.
Drawing from her personal journey and experience as a certified Grief Movement Guide, Barb understands how pain and emotion are held in the body—and how essential it is to express and release them. She will offer Grief Movement sessions, using breath, sound, and movement to help you release struggle and reconnect with love, empowerment, and clarity. These sessions are accessible and adaptable for all bodies and can be done seated or standing.
Come as you are. Leave more connected to who you truly are.

Here’s what others have said about Barb’s retreats:
I love going to retreats because they're a way for me to get back to what's important--me. It's a time for me to leave work at work and home at home and just simply be and reconnect with myself. A chance to really listen to what my inner voice is telling me, to nurture my soul and my body with rest and renewal. It's a moment in time for me to take care of myself and to let go and enjoy the unique energy that's created when a group of beautiful like-minded people connect authentically, heart to heart. Barb creates a beautiful and safe place for me to do all of this.
- Kristin Conway
I cannot tell you how wonderful my experience has been on the retreats I have attended with Barb! To be able to take the time for myself, in a safe place, to reconnect with my genuine self, re-energize and re-empower myself to come back out into this crazy world is a priceless gift!! I am so grateful to Barb for the work she does and the opportunities she creates for people, like me, who need to Retreat, Regroup and then Return.
