Excellent 😊
Ratna Ling is a beautiful retreat center with excellent staff, accommodations and food. The spiritual atmosphere is calming and inspiring.
Clare Buckley is my favorite yoga teacher. She offers gentle yoga in her own creative way. She never repeats a session, each one is unique. A bit of meditation, a lot of smiles and laughter and always beautiful surprises to delight you. She has a very generous spirit.
A winning combination!

Peaceful joyful balanced retreat
The center is beautifully tucked away in the coastal mountains among redwoods, with kind and excellent staff, homey cabins, and overall peaceful energy that feels like a cloud from heaven on earth.

Beautiful and comfortable
Ratna Ling is a perfect setting for a retreat. The accommodations are comfortable and spacious. The food was delicious and plentiful. My only disappointment was the lemon bars; why vegan? The food is vegetarian with plenty of cheese, butter, and eggs present. Sure, there were some vegan options alongside, but no need to destroy lemon bars in such a tragic way :( you can surely offer up fruit as a vegan pairing. Lost a star in that move.
