Details of this retreat

We welcome David Cho of San Francisco as our Guest Teacher for a weekend of grounding, relaxation, and community.

As the summer comes to a close, we feel the change of pace, and we are ready for new ventures or fresh routines. We gather together in late summer to reflect on our efforts and notice what is ready to harvest. We will focus our yoga practice on nurturing the body and mind after the hot months, cooling our body, mind and spirit to welcome the slower pace of Autumn.
Relax and recharge practicing Yoga and Meditation in a serene natural setting with like-minded friends. This retreat is suitable for all levels of practitioners. There will be plenty of free time to relax, read a book, go on a hike, meditate, and deepen relationships with yourself and others!

A testimonial from a past guest:
"David was outstanding! He was very accommodating and tailored the sessions to suit various levels."

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.

A Weekend of Peace
Ratna Ling is a spot of bliss in the middle of nowhere. The accommodations were lovely: beautiful wood work, comfy beds, mini fridge, gorgeous view from the window. From the cooks to the managers, everyone on the staff treated us with warmth and kindness. Although they request shoes off inside, they were totally OK with me leaving mine on my difficult feet. George's guided meditation and tour of the on-site temple matched the varied needs of the group, no easy feat. He answered all of our questions; there was no hesitation to discuss religious skepticism and no question was offensive. The vegetarian food was plentiful and delicious; I came away wanting recipes. Even without the themed retreat, just spending time at Ratna Ling would be the ultimate relaxation, getting in touch with nature, unplugging from the crazy world, and feeling renewed.

Peace and Kindness
A retreat at Ratna Ling is a special treat and refuge. The sacred grounds are exceptionally beautiful and everyone on the property is kind - really. We especially appreciate the retreats by the Ratna Ling faculty who live the values of the Buddhist tradition, but create meaningful programs bringing this wisdom tradition to every day life!

Meditation retreat
I cannot recommend highly enough. I knew very little (essentially nothing) about Ratna Ling before I took myself here last weekend for a retreat. All I knew is that I had been under a lot of stress. This place is magical. I have begun my healing journey thanks to this experience I gave myself. Wonderful staff and teachers and amazing food. Very comfortable, relaxing accommodations. I will be going back and soon!

Peaceful and deep healing
My weekend at Ratna Ling for a meditation retreat was so extremely peaceful and healing - it was completely unexpected. I realized very quickly that any insecurity I held about my practice or journey was self created struggle, as there was zero feelings of intimidation or discomfort regarding my level of meditative mastery or lack thereof. The option of silence was a surprisingly welcomed and appreciated aspect for me to allow myself to stay inward, open, and contemplative about my experience. I cannot wait to return to this beautiful, healing and delicious place.
