About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

SLOW DOWN, TAKE A BREAK, AND REST
In the fast-paced world of mobile devices, cars, planes, deadlines, and capitalism, we can lose track of what's important, like our well-being, inner peace, laughter, and our personal truth.

You matter, and you are more than enough. That phone call or email can wait. Your family or job will be fine without you always being there.

Treat yourself and enjoy three nights at Ratna Ling to unwind, reflect, and breathe into your fullness. Remember what you value the most, and then return to your life with a renewed sense of ease, joy, and strength.

This weekend includes:

Yoga for all levels
Relaxation Practices
Meditation for all levels
Nature Walk
Optional Bodywork + Wellness Services

 

COVID POLICY: For your safety and ours, we require that all guests be vaccinated against Covid and provide proof of a negative Covid test result within 48 hours of arrival.  We wish to provide peace of mind for all of our residents and guests.

Beautiful setting for relaxing experience
Ratna Ling offers a gorgeous scenery among the redwoods and valleys to enjoy time to reset. Food is always flavourful and staff is very kind. My only concern was that I thought we were too many participants in the yoga room to feel comfortable. Would definitely recommend this place!

Highly Recommend
The grounds and lodging are lovely. The food is clean, healthy and very tasty. I attended a new year meditation retreat with Linda and Maria leading. It was thoughtful and informative. We learned some contemplative as well as physical meditation techniques. Right amount of sitting time, learning time, and free time. The Tour of the Temple was very interesting and special. The Center has a really peaceful and welcoming vibe. I didn't know what to expect and was really pleased and grateful. Really a great way to start the new year. I highly recommend Ratna Ling to anyone who hasn't been. I will definitely return!
