The Living Practice Retreat

Spend a weekend deepening your skills and revitalizing your body in a beautiful place. The Living Practice Retreat will be held May 15-17th, 2026 near Ithaca, NY. This is an opportunity for professional and personal renewal while we bask in the lovely natural environment at Light on the Hill retreat center.

You spend so much time touching others. This is a weekend for YOU. Whether you’re wanting to build your practice, feel the support of a like-minded community or take some time to recharge your love of bodywork, I invite you to join a group of fellow practitioners to:

  • Explore theory & techniques to raise the effectiveness of your bodywork, no matter what modality you practice

  • Exchange treatments with fellow practitioners in a safe, nurturing environment

    Enjoy guided meditative journeys for personal healing & energy alignment

  • Restore yourself with time in nature and space to reflect, dream and relax

  • Build a bodywork community that wants to grow together

I invite you to join us, Lynn Goodman
