Journey into the Quantum Field

In order to move forward, we must let go of unhealthy attachments to make room for new opportunities. We must align our chakras, raise our vibration, and connect to our highest timeline
Negative energetic chords of attachment link us to other people, places, objects, thoughts, or beliefs. They are invisible energetic connections. Think of them as a network of spider webs connecting us with literally every person we've ever interacted with... Friends, family, lovers, employers. 
Each cord has energy going into it from both ends. The strength of the cord or connection depends upon how much energy (healthy or toxic) we give it, and how much energy we allow from the other end. When there's an unhealthy connection there's an imbalance in the relationship. Which can affect mood, feelings of dependency, anger, anxiety, resentment, mistrust, fear or feeling drained or obsessive thinking. Releasing these negative attachments we reset the connection, recalling our energy or personal power back, giving us a chance to reestablish the relationship. 
It can help us find clarity and inner peace. We become more present and aware of our surroundings. This helps us to create a foundation of healthy boundaries, otherwise the lessons repeat themselves. You are here to reclaim your freedom! Come with a specific person, place, thing, thought, or belief you would like to reset the connection to.      
 
Cacao ceremony
is a great time for manifestation and new beginnings, It helps shift us into a grounded space, opening our hearts to receive new opportunities. We gather and sit together and sip the cacao, journal, meditate and open our heart to possibilities. We will be sipping the highest quality cacao made from Peruvian Criollo cacao beans.
 
Drumming
Drumming is a language of the soul. Drumming connects with the principle of entrainment. The synchronization of different beats. Life wants to harmonize and the rhythm pulls us into that type of harmony. It's being discovered in our brains that neuroplasticity is absolutely driven by novel auditory stimulus so when you hear a foreign rhythm like the drum something in your brain is waking up and mapping that rhythm. It is shown that rhythmic plasticity improves our neurological plasticity so rhythm has a language.
Let go, go within to create your heart coherence, raise your vibration and connect to your higher self and greater timeline.
 
The Golden pyramid chakra cleanse will help you Step into your power and call back your Divinity and anchor into your manifestation
 
 
Delicious Gourmet & Vegetarian Food

Light on the Hill’s cooks prepare meals in the lodge’s commercial kitchen. Meals at Light on the Hill are gourmet vegetarian with many vegan options. They use organic ingredients wherever possible. The cooks receive high praise about the food that is served.
Light On The Hill cooks are able to accommodate simple dietary restrictions such as gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan. However, if a person has a more restrictive diet than this, they suggest that the person bring their own food. Those wanting meat may bring cold cuts and cans of tuna, etc. but no meat is allowed to be cooked on the premises. 
 
 
 

We encourage you to bring:

  • Slippers or heavy socks as we ask that shoes be removed at the door
  • Comfortable walking shoes and suitable warm clothing for winter walks
  • Personal toiletries
  • Insect repellant in summer
  • Medications for allergies (especially bees/wasps)

 

 

 

Workshops will be held outdoors or indoors in the central sacred meeting space which is octagonal in shape making it perfect for Sound Immersion.

We will be staying at the Light on the Hill Lodge where there are 18 single rooms.  
Comfortable rooms overlooking the beautiful grounds. 
There are also 4 double rooms if you choose to room with a friend!

Directions: Directions to Blake Hill Road
From Rochester:Take NY Thruway east to Exit 42 Geneva. Take Rt. 14 south. (Rt. 14 makes a few turns in Geneva.) Just past Watkins Glen, turn left on Rt. 224. Continue on 224 for 18.1 miles to Blake Hill Road. You will pass the turn off to Rt. 223 and then see a billboard on your right just before Blake Hill. Turn left on to Blake Hill Road.
Light on the Hill is located exactly 1 mile up Blake Hill Road from Route 224. If you are attending a function at Inner Light Lodge, go one mile up Blake Hill and make your first left after the beige colored house. You will see the lodge ahead of you and can check-in there.

There is a Light on the Hill sign at the Blake Hill Road turn.

WARNING: Many GPS systems give incorrect directions when coming from the East (Spencer), and lead you to the “back way”, which is a poorly maintained, seasonal road. Be sure NOT to turn on Langford Creek Road from Rte 224. Keep going another mile to Blake Hill Rd.

The meal schedule is 8:00 am breakfast, 12:30 pm lunch, and 6:00 pm dinner. Meals are served within the first 30 minutes (breakfast and lunch) or 40 minutes (dinner). We encourage folks to get there towards the beginning time of the meal so the food is warm and fresh
The cooks are skilled in creating whole proteins through their combination of beans, grains, and vegetables. Lunch often includes some kind of soup or stew and salad, with fruit for dessert. They might serve a pasta salad or a quinoa dish, or hummus with pita bread and veggies. Dinner includes something more substantial, often combining rice, pasta, or quinoa with a vegetarian sauce or stew. Some of the cooks prepare grilled tofu or roasted veggies. Both lunch and dinner include salad. Dinner includes dessert (often something baked). Breakfast includes roasted potatoes, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, yogurt and fruit, homemade granola with fixins, and bread (for toast). You can remind folks that lots of meat-eaters love the cooking here. They are sometimes surprised by the variety of ways to prepare food and the delicious flavors possible with vegetarian cooking.

PLEASE NOTE: Retreat registration fee is not refundable, however it can be rolled over to the next year retreat or transferred to another attendee.
