About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

We welcome special guest teachers Charlotte Keane and Shoshana Hebshi to offer a healing retreat that connects you to Nature and your lineage.
Do you feel a calling to connect with Mother Earth and your ancestors?
Join Shamanic Priestess Charlotte Keane from The Unstruck Drum for this weekend of deep communion with nature. You will learn to tune in so deeply that you can feel the voice of Mother Earth. 
You will experience a Shamanic drum journey to meet with your spirit animals in the tradition of our ancestral elders. 
Our daily yoga practices, led by Shoshana Hebshi, will help us feel into the grounding sensation of Mother Earth, composting any parts of your energetic self that needs to be let go so you can welcome abundance and gratitude into your fullest self.
Together, we will make essential oils from locally grown lavender. The ceremonial extraction of oils is ancient work performed by Priestesses all over the world. Using the holy oils we create together, you will be anointed to open the third eye chakra–Ajna, to support your ongoing path of awareness and spiritual communication. You will be able to take some oil home with you. 
This retreat includes:


Yoga for all levels
Shamanic Drum Journeys
Connection to Spirit Animals
Handcrafting essential oils from plants

Charlotte is a third generation Shamanic healer and curandera. Ordained in the Order of the Rose, she is a Myrraphore and Priestess of the Rose Magdalene.  Her ancestors from Mexico shared these practices with her, and she is honored to bring this medicine to you. 
Shoshana Hebshi, owner of Revolution Yoga in Santa Rosa has been teaching and practicing yoga for 25 years. The practice has changed her worldview, her mission in life and her driving purpose. Through the creation of Revolution Yoga, she aims to manifest her desires for Healing the World one breath at a time.
COVID POLICY: For your safety and ours, we require that all participants be vaccinated against Covid and provide proof of a negative covid test result within 48 hours of arrival (kits are also provided at check-in).  We wish to provide peace of mind for all of our residents and guests.

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.

Spring Awakening
The retreat with yoga teacher Clare was superb. There was nothing lacking. I have been to Ratna Ling before and had the same sense of calm and joy I experienced the last time I was there 15 years ago. Being in this beautiful environment has balanced me so I am more able to cope with some of the tragedies occurring in the world today. .
