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.

Nurturing in Nature
My second time at Ratna Lin, it does not disappoint. It is such a beautiful location in the redwoods. With the rain I enjoyed hearing the rain on the roof, the gas fire and jetted tub in my cottage. The first night was clear and we enjoyed lounging on our deck and star gazing. The vegetarian food was delicious, balanced and visually appealing. The retreat itself was self care and yoga and gave me such peace and good energy.

Heaven on Earth!
Restorative yoga in the gorgeous beauty of the redwoods and sublime peace of a world class meditation center - that is quite simply the magic of Ratna Ling. My 8th time was a charm and a delight as always.

Wow. The retreat was incredible and the retreat center was equally amazing!
Wow! I just spent the weekend with Nicole Griffin "reclaiming my nervous system" and I am leaving so relaxed. Nicole is such an excellent teacher! Additionally, this retreat center is so amazing! The cottages have breathtaking views, they are so clean and comfortable with everything you can possibly need. I can't recommend Nicole and this retreat center enough!
