Details of this retreat
Too often, the intense pressures of modern work and life serve more to sap our energy than to ignite it. We may find ourselves moving through days feeling dull, disconnected, imbalanced and burned out – in other words, stuck. But even when our inner light feels dim, soul-guided choices give us the power to reignite it.
Join wellness and empowerment practitioners Becky Vollmer and Michael Wilson for a special summer solstice soul reset. Blending deep reflection, purposeful movement, guided breathwork and sound healing, this one-of-a-kind retreat designed for high-achieving professionals will help you reconnect to your spirit and reclaim your joy. Sessions will help you align with your guiding values, gain clarity around what’s next, and rediscover the energy and joy that already exists within.
This all-inclusive, 3-night retreat includes:
Daily yoga practices crafted to soothe and embolden body and spirit
Focused breathwork and meditation sessions
Group reflections and discussions
A special healing sound bath
Connection with other high-performing professionals seeking clarity and balance
Luxe, spacious, serene accommodations
Eight delicious, locally sourced vegetarian meals
Reserved time for bodywork sessions, quiet journaling, or time in nature
Moving from Stuck to Joy is a unique opportunity to funnel the energy of the earth’s longest day of sunlight into the bright stardust within so you can return to work and life refreshed and refocused. There will be plenty of writing, so please bring a journal and pen. No yoga experience is required; the practice can be modified to suit your body’s individual needs.
COVID POLICY: For your safety and ours, we require proof of vaccination AND negative test result from all visitors to Ratna Ling Retreat Center. We wish to provide peace of mind for all of our residents and guests.

An energetic portal
The sanctuary, surrounded by old growth redwoods, is a very special portal where connection to the divine feels effortless and powerful. The volunteers who live on property are delightful, the cabins are lovely, the grounds an amazing and the food is magnificent! I was on a cleanse with a very limiting protocol, but at every buffet there were plenty of delicious vegan and gluten free options. I didn’t feel compromised at all! The retreat I attended was the icing on the cake. All in all there is nothing I would have changed. It was a 10 out of 10 all the way around Di

A beautiful and inviting setting for a weekend of introspection and relaxation
I attended Ratna Ling Retreat Center for a weekend group retreat focused on finding joy. The center is beautiful and well worth the drive from San Francisco. The facilities were clean and inviting and the staff was welcoming and created a peaceful environment. There are many treasures on the retreat grounds, including Redwood circles and an oak and Redwood tree that have joined to grow as one. Wild turkeys, woodpeckers and many other birds can be found throughout the grounds. We also received a special treat as the leaves on the Japanese Maples were bright pink, creating an absolutely stunning sight. I left feeling refreshed, more connected to myself and nature and inspired. I will be returning many times to Ratna Ling.
