Details of this retreat

Set your intentions for 2025! 

Join certified yoga teacher, Reiki Master, and published writer, Alyssa Lauren Stone, for a transformative weekend in the forests of Sonoma County– 900 feet above the sea, as we take the opportunity to pause, reflect, and realign with our intentions for the year ahead. 

From faster-paced Vinyasa flows to more restful Restorative poses, we will explore different types of yoga, breathwork, and meditation techniques to get the body energized and relaxed throughout the weekend. We will also traverse into the world of subtle energies and apply scientifically proven methods such as sound healing to help raise our consciousness, vibration, and frequency. 

There will be an afternoon of quiet time to indulge in introspection. Whether that be journaling, utilizing the hiking trails around the property, or signing up for an optional Reiki energy healing session, we will learn how to use our innate sense of intuition to guide our weekend and year ahead.

Only 12 spaces available!

Retreat for Rest, Nature, and Learning
Ratna Ling Retreat Center is a unique center located in a idllic setting amidst Redwoods, wild turkeys, quail flying by, deer on a path, and much to learn about the Tibetan Buddhist teachings and practices. I went for a writing retreat, the Sonoma County Writers Camp with the brilliant co-founders Ellen Sussman and Elizabeth Stark. The workshops and writing and yoga were transformative, and the meals and lodging and staff were gracious and helpful. I was happy to leave my phone in a drawer in the cabin while I participated in all the wonderful activities.

Beautiful Restorative Retreat
This was my first experience at Ratna Ling and I could not be more pleased with the experience I had this past weekend. The volunteer staff go out of their way to make you feel right at home and the food was absolutely delicious and so very healthily and mindfully prepared. The cottages are tastefully appointed and their spaciousness allowed me to feel settled and supported during my retreat experience. It's so very peaceful and I hope to return at least once a year for personal restoration.

I participated in a yoga and meditation retreat with Jill Lindsay and had a wonderful experience with her as my teacher and guide through restorative yoga, breath work, chanting and sound bath work. Jill is warm and encouraging and extremely knowledgeable!

Amazing space
The setting, the staff, and the architecture make for a fantastic experience - must see! Also the feeling of a place is hard to curate but seems to come easily at Ratna Ling. I'm grateful to have been and it is now on the top of my list of retreat centers!

Thank you
