Details of this retreat

We welcome back Denelle Numis of San Francisco for a special yoga retreat at Ratna Ling to celebrate the Spring Equinox in the redwoods!


Welcome the Spring Season in the coastal redwoods of Sonoma County, California. Indulge yourself in a luxurious weekend getaway with Denelle Numis March 20th-22nd.

The Ratna Ling Retreat Center is a true sanctuary not far from home. Give yourself the gift of daily yoga and meditation, delicious and nutritious vegetarian meals and a blissful 2-nights stay in a cozy pristine cottage.


This weekend is for you if youʻre seeking refuge from your  day-to-day routines. This is an invitation to slow down, indulge in the beautiful natural surroundings and return feeling refreshed and renewed.


Optional hikes to the coastline included, and massages on the premises are available upon request. Retreat and spring into your super self!


*This retreat will feature a special Sound Healing by guest Sound Healer, Gena Price! Sound healing is a deeply immersive experience. Designed to promote relaxation, meditation and healing, participants are enveloped in waves of soothing instrumental sounds. Singing bowls, gongs and chimes create a sensory-rich environment, fostering deep rest and renewal. The term “sound bath” reflects this experience, as the vibrations wash over you like water, guiding you to a state of tranquility and harmony.

Yoga is like surfing!
Just got back from a yoga weekend at Rayna Ling. Everything was perfect! Except me, I wasnt prepared for how hard a yoga workout could be, especially on my old bod! I unfortunately signed up for a yoga class I wasnt really in shape for, but the yoga I did helped and has caused me to sign up for yoga more in ability range. I say it’s like surfing in that, if you tried to learn to surf at Pipeline , it would be difficult at best. So it was my issue of over reaching and nothing to do with the teachers.
I will be back but only after I continue on this path of yoga and become a more competent student!
Thanks
Tom
PS - the temple was amazing!

A peaceful break from city life
The grounds are beautiful, and the secluded location and absence of cellular connection add to the experience. The cottage I stayed in was extremely clean and well furnished, bed was cozy so I had my best sleep in weeks. The volunteer staff was discrete but friendly. Vegetarian meals were delicious. Only point of improvement was around the absence signage and lighting, because trying to find my cottage in the complete dark was a bit scary!

Beautiful setting. Great food. Yoga classes inspiring. I’m very much of a novice and found difficulty in the sessions. We left early but have NO regrets. Perhaps the weekend for 50+ individuals might be more suited to me. Very glad we attended. We’re now looking for gentle yoga or restorative yoga in our neighborhood. Thank you for the experience.

An Unforgettable Retreat at Ratna Ling
From the moment the white gate opened to welcome me, I knew Ratna Ling would be an experience unlike any other. I was absolutely right. The property is truly majestic, and the views from my cabin were nothing short of extraordinary. The staff were exceptional in every way, and the cuisine was both excellent and delicious. My stay at Ratna Ling was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.
