Reclaim: A Nervous System Retreat for Deep Rest and Relaxation

Date
February 5 - 7, 2027

About this Retreat

Your Guides

Details of this retreat

Come rest, reconnect, and remember who you are beneath the noise.

In a world that rewards overdoing, it can feel nearly impossible to slow down. We push through stress, ignore what our bodies are telling us, and stay stuck in survival mode. Eventually, something gives and we realize we can’t keep living this way.

This weekend is your chance to step away from all of that. To exhale. To feel calm again. Together, we’ll slow down through restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra, nervous system-informed movement, and a special Tibetan meditation session to help you work with your thoughts and quiet your mind. Practical nervous system teachings are woven into each session so your learning becomes embodied. A deeply calming massage can be added on to support full relaxation.

You’ll leave feeling grounded, nourished, and more like yourself, with simple tools to support your nervous system long after the retreat ends.

You don’t have to earn your rest. You just have to reclaim the space to receive it.

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

San Francisco International and Oakland International airports are approximately three hours south of Ratna Ling by car. Alaska Airlines flies to and from Sonoma County Airport in Santa Rosa which is approximately 1.5 hours from Ratna Ling by car. Unfortunately, there are no shuttles that bring you directly to Ratna Ling, so it is best to rent a car or email us to support in coordinating a carpool with fellow retreatants.

A fantastic place to participant in and host retreats!
I have been to Ratna Ling as a participant and two-time retreat facilitator. It is a fantastic place to participate and also host retreats! The setting is beautiful, the volunteer staff are kind, the food is healthy and delicious, and the yoga room is stunning. As a retreat facilitator, Ratna Ling makes it easy for you and handles the administrative parts so you can focus on what you do best. I look forward to hosting more retreats here in the future.

Wonderful experience
I found the retreat site to be a particularly beautiful space to be- to reflect, restore and grow. The grounds are really gorgeous, cabins are well constructed and everything is so well cared for. The accommodations are simple yet feel luxurious. The food was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. The yoga practice room is spacious and comfortable. The volunteers on site are helpful and generous. I would be eager to return again.
