About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Are you in need of a break? Just some time and space for quiet with a change of scenery?

Ratna Ling is hosting a series of personal retreats in our great outdoors. A Space and Ease retreat at Ratna Ling allows you to create on your own and it can be a transformative experience where you can find solace, rejuvenation, and inner peace. Your Space & Ease retreat provides a sanctuary for you to do self-reflection, mindfulness practices, and deep relaxation in a serene and natural setting.

You can move at your own pace with meditation, hiking, and contemplative practices that will enhance your well-being and help you connect with your inner self. The retreat offers a supportive environment for personal growth, healing, and self-discovery; allowing you to recharge and realign with your true essence.

The schedule is light, giving you ample time for reflection and walks in the redwoods or at the beach. We serve good and lovely healthy vegetarian meals. For your evening pleasure, we have reading materials in our library as well as online inspiration from Rinpoche.

If this date does not work for you, check out all our coming dates on our personal retreat page, so you won’t miss the opportunity to reconnect with yourself and replenish for your upcoming days.
Come to relax and enjoy the space and ease of Ratna Ling, the realm of treasures!

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
