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.

Directions

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.

My New Favorite Retreat Spot

Ratna Ling Retreat Center was truly a peaceful getaway. I went for a writers' retreat and truly wish I could have stayed longer. The people were incredibly supportive, and the entire space felt calm and welcoming. I loved seeing deer, wild turkeys, and hearing the morning "taps" of the woodpeckers.

The cabins were spacious and spotless, and the vegetarian food was absolutely delicious. Every detail felt thoughtfully cared for. It’s the best retreat (escape) I’ve had in a long time.

I will definitely be going back

Thank you, Ratna Ling Retreat Center, for existing in this world.

The guests were welcomed with enthusiasm. The music was great. The beauty of Ratna Ling was at its finest. Thanks to everyone who made this opportunity possible.
