Retreat with Dana
This is my second time doing a weekend retreat at Ratna Ling and it was lovely. The lodge is beautiful, the cottages comfortable, the food amazing, the volunteers friendly and helpful. The location is exceptional, as soon as you arrive you feel at peace and in communion with the nature around you. It is a special place.
The Yoga instructor was really good, I especially like the Sunday morning class with teaching around Chrakras. My massage with Melody was a prefect way to end my stay. Thank you !

Spring break
While not directly on the sea,Ratna Ling was situated a short drive from the most beautiful ocean views. I had a wonderful time with our teacher Martin learning and breathing together. Meals were excellent. Setting was very relaxing and I felt like a new person after one weekend.
