Vitality and Joy: A Summer Retreat at Ratna Ling

Reignite your inner light and celebrate the season of aliveness!
Summer invites us into brightness, warmth, and connection — a time to expand, celebrate, and live with a full heart.
Join Stacy McGinty for a weekend of yoga, meditation, and mindful exploration at the serene and sacred grounds of Ratna Ling Retreat Center, a Tibetan Buddhist-inspired sanctuary nestled in the redwoods of Sonoma County.
This retreat, rooted in the theme of Vitality & Joy, invites you to awaken the life force within — to rediscover a sense of playfulness, presence, and gratitude for the beauty of being alive. Through guided movement, stillness, and community, we’ll reconnect with what nourishes the spirit and cultivates sustainable joy as we invite in the light from the summer solstice this month.
This weekend includes:

Morning Vinyasa and Pranayama sessions to awaken energy and clarity
Afternoon Restorative and Yin Yoga to integrate, release, and soften
Guided Meditations and Dharma Talks exploring Buddhist teachings on joy and compassion
Wholesome vegetarian meals prepared with mindfulness and local ingredients
Time for rest, journaling, reflection, and connection with a like-minded community

As the year’s energy peaks, we are reminded that vitality isn’t about doing more — it’s about aligning with what enlivens you. This retreat offers space to recharge your body, renew your spirit, and return home feeling radiant, grateful, and connected to the joy that’s always available within.
