Details of this retreat

We welcome back Jill Lindsay for a sweet, relaxing retreat for the Fall!

Gather together for an unforgettable and deeply nourishing yoga retreat. This retreat will be a wonderful way to step away from the world and immerse yourself in the practice of yoga and mindfulness during the fall season.  This getaway will be a perfect way to deepen your practice and better understand the foundations and principles that make up the therapeutic yoga discipline, helping you learn how to move with more awareness and safety whether it's in your day to day life or other yoga classes.

Daily practices will be offered along with a little body mechanics, ergo tips, and functional anatomy lectures peppered into our time together.  Additionally, on Saturday morning we get to practice in a sacred Tibetan temple.  The goal is to have all retreatants walk away from the weekend feeling rested, recharged, with a whole new awareness of how one moves throughout their world.

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.

Incredible, beautiful and healing experience
I have done many retreats in various settings (and price points) over the years, and Gloria Baraquio's Weekend of Self-Care retreat at Ratna Ling over Memorial Day Weekend was truly something extraordinary. She, along with Kimberly Millard, who provided additional yoga instruction and sound healing and George Wiegand, who taught meditation, created a very special container for the weekend, and I am still feeling renewed 10 days later. Ratna Ling is also a very beautiful place with wonderful creature comforts, and the staff was so kind and caring. Thank you - I cannot wait to return! Read More

A Magical Escape into Nature and Stillness
I attended the meditation retreat in late May 2025, and from the moment I began the drive, I felt like I was entering another world. The route along the coast was breathtaking, eventually winding into a serene landscape of towering trees and untouched wilderness. It was exactly what I had been craving a place to unplug, reset, and reconnect away from the overstimulation of daily life. What I found was not only everything I needed, but so much more.

The cottages are tucked away in quiet seclusion, surrounded by a forest that feels sacred. Each morning, I stepped outside to the sight of sunlight streaming through the mountains and trees a gentle reminder that peace lives in stillness. The natural beauty alone would have made the trip worthwhile, but what the retreat offered went far beyond that.

The meditations and talks led by George and Linda were profoundly inspiring. Meditation has always been something I wanted to integrate into my daily life, but I never knew where to start. Their guidance made it approachable and deeply personal. I learned techniques that helped me understand what mindfulness actually feels like and I’ve been able to carry that clarity back with me into my everyday routine.

The staff and volunteers were incredible! They were kind, welcoming, and genuinely present. It didn’t feel like a business. It felt like being embraced by a community that truly cares. I was treated not as a guest, but as a member of a larger family. Their presence created a space where healing, rest, and reflection could truly unfold.

I’m so grateful to have found this place. As I drove away, I caught myself wondering how I could come back… or better yet, never leave. This place is a gift! It is a place to recharge your spirit, reconnect with nature, and remember what it feels like to just be! It's truly magical!

A very special time with amazing people
Thank you so much, Gloria for all of the heart and soul you infused into our retreat weekend. It was truly an honor to watch you work your magic and hold space for all of us. RL is also a magical place and the rooms were pristine and the people who work there were so full of Gratitude and good intentions. It was an experience like I’ve never had before where everyone just wanted to serve, and where everyone who worked there felt as if they were emanating, pure intentions of love toward the attendees. I have also never gone to a retreat with people I know, and the deepening connection that happened was beyond my wildest dreams. I feel so full and grateful for this experience in this beautiful place led by such an adapt and knowing soul. Thank you all for providing this sacred space and time for me to heal. Read More

An Incredible Experience !!!!
I attended the Weekend of Self Care Retreat this past weekend and it was truly transformative. I arrived stressed out and left calm, centered and ready to live more fully. The sleeping accommodations were perfect and the cabins were clean and accessible to the Lodge. I also thoroughly enjoyed all the classes and sessions and the retreat leader, Gloria, was so kind and loving and went out of her way the entire weekend to ensureI I was doing ok. I would like to honorably mention the staff. I have never had an opportunity to be assisted by such loving, kind and thorough individuals. They patiently held my hand throughout the entire retreat and seemed to never tire in assisting each and every participant to have a wonderful time. The grounds and atmosphere at RL is the perfect recipe for healing in Mind, Body and Spitit. Read More
