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 ( as of JAN 2025 ):  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.

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. Read More

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

Surpassed all my expectations
The location was incredibly peaceful, surrounded by gorgeous trees. The facility is spacious and pristine. The food was outstanding. I was blown away by the cabins! Beautiful, clean, terrific porches to enjoy the birds and nature. My only complaint is that we didn't get enough down time to enjoy it as much as I wanted. That said, the retreat itself (led by Mark Matousek) was simply life changing. Thank you to all of the volunteers for making this place what it is! Read More
