Relaxation - SPECIAL PRICING

Join this special offering by Ratna Ling Resident Teachers for a weekend of exploring relaxation techniques, as taught by Tarthang Tulku.

Do you continuously experience stress or overwhelm? Do you have a hard time letting go and softening? If you are needing a space to take a breath and to slow down, this weekend was designed for you. Indulge in a full weekend where you get to simply unwind and release your grip.

This retreat, devoted to relaxation, invites a new way of being—one of softening, listening, and gently returning to yourself. Guided by resident teachers of Ratna Ling, the sessions are based on the subtle yet powerful practices of Kum Nye Tibetan Yoga, as taught by Tarthang Tulku. Through mindful movement, breath, and deep relaxation, you’ll begin to unwind layers of tension held in the body and nervous system. As your edges soften, a natural sense of ease and presence can emerge—one that doesn’t need to be forced or achieved, but simply allowed.

Held within the quiet beauty of Ratna Ling’s forest sanctuary, this immersive weekend offers space to slow down and reconnect with your innate capacity for awareness and calm. You’ll explore how to meet life’s challenges with more openness and fluidity, shifting from habitual patterns of rigidity into a more responsive, embodied way of being. Whether you are new to Kum Nye Tibetan Yoga or returning to deepen your practice, this retreat offers a nurturing environment to rest, restore, and rediscover the quiet strength of a relaxed and open heart.

Tibetan Relaxation Exercises (Kum Nye)
Mindfulness Practices
Nature Walk
