The Love of Beauty: A Meditation Retreat in Nature

“The Natural Environment will readily support a more beautiful inner life. From each tree and flower, we can learn how to receive nourishment through the senses and allow the nectar of sensory beauty to fill the heart to overflowing.”
-Tarthang Tulku, Lotus Mandala, p.49
 

Take a breath of fresh air, and let the beauty of Nature inspire your inner beauty...

In this retreat, we will explore the beauty of trees, plants, animals, the sky, wind, and all of Nature at Ratna Ling, to understand your own true nature--the beauty and wonder of being you.   Being outside helps heal the disconnect between head, heart, and senses.  This retreat will help to restore intimacy with yourself and with the world, and nourish what is innately beautiful and perfect within you.

By immersing yourself in beauty, you will learn new ways to treat yourself and how to appreciate the natural parts of you.  You will leave inspired and refreshed, reminded of how beautiful Life really is.
