About this Retreat
Details of this retreat
We welcome special guest teachers Charlotte Keane and Shoshana Hebshi to offer a healing retreat that connects you to Nature and your lineage.
Do you feel a calling to connect with Mother Earth and your ancestors?
Join Shamanic Priestess Charlotte Keane from The Unstruck Drum for this weekend of deep communion with nature. You will learn to tune in so deeply that you can feel the voice of Mother Earth.
You will experience a Shamanic drum journey to meet with your spirit animals in the tradition of our ancestral elders.
Our daily yoga practices, led by Shoshana Hebshi, will help us feel into the grounding sensation of Mother Earth, composting any parts of your energetic self that needs to be let go so you can welcome abundance and gratitude into your fullest self.
Together, we will make essential oils from locally grown lavender. The ceremonial extraction of oils is ancient work performed by Priestesses all over the world. Using the holy oils we create together, you will be anointed to open the third eye chakra–Ajna, to support your ongoing path of awareness and spiritual communication. You will be able to take some oil home with you.
This retreat includes:
Yoga for all levels
Shamanic Drum Journeys
Connection to Spirit Animals
Handcrafting essential oils from plants
Charlotte is a third generation Shamanic healer and curandera. Ordained in the Order of the Rose, she is a Myrraphore and Priestess of the Rose Magdalene. Her ancestors from Mexico shared these practices with her, and she is honored to bring this medicine to you.
Shoshana Hebshi, owner of Revolution Yoga in Santa Rosa has been teaching and practicing yoga for 25 years. The practice has changed her worldview, her mission in life and her driving purpose. Through the creation of Revolution Yoga, she aims to manifest her desires for Healing the World one breath at a time.

Even though it was overcast, drizzly the weekend was perfect. The "cabin" (truly a house) was warm, clean and everything in it was aesthetically perfect. The furnishings, the linen, etc all comfortable and cosy for a rainy weekend. The food was amazing. Vegetarian with vegan options. We attended 2 meditation sessions and our guide was genuine and very helpful. I hope to go back in the near future.

Wonderful
Rarely do the pictures in the ads match the reality of the location. In the case of Ratna Ling, the facility is more magnificent than the pictures. From the grounds, room, and retreat center, everything was beautiful. The staff was graceful and ever-present. As a non-vegetarian, I was skeptical that I would enjoy the food. But the food was plentiful and delicious. Thanks for a great retreat.

Nikki Estrada Yoga Retreat
This land holds so much love and is exquisitely tended to. I woke up in the morning with joy in my heart to have landed there. The cabins are well appointed with gorgeous natural woods. I loved sitting by the fireplace in the morning with my hot tea looking out over the redwood studded hills.
Nikki is a seasoned teacher. She teaches with much clarity and precision. Savasana was a dream on heated floors.
The food was well balanced cooked with love. The staff was very attentive and kind. I will definitely be back and shared ratna Ling‘s website with many of my friends. I highly recommend this place. Read More
