Details of this retreat
Springtime heralds new beginnings and new life… Nourish and replenish yourself with Leila Swenson in the magnificent sweeping countryside of Ratna Ling! It is like stepping into another world— Ratna Ling provides a peaceful and inspiring place in the coastal redwoods to engage in revitalizing and heartful practices of vinyasa yoga, mantra healing, silent meditation, and deep relaxation.
A meaningful pause is a valuable opportunity to contemplate the next steps blossoming in our lives… Some questions of inquiry for the weekend are: What is calling us and has energy? What is perhaps falling away and no longer fits? How can we tap into our inner wisdom to guide us? How can we nourish our overall health and well-being? The practices over the weekend will invite inquiry, clarity, purification, and vitality for mind-body, heart, and spirit.
Leila’s 15+ years of yoga teaching experience, her soothing voice in singing and instruction, and her compassionate nature will nourish and replenish you.
Please join us for a marvelous weekend of refreshing yoga, wondrous outdoors, and caring community. All are welcome!

Here and Now Retreat
Accommodations were fantastic. Everything was clean and organized and well appointed. There was plenty of space to relax, find solitude, and connect with others. The food was delicious and plentiful and the staff were welcoming, approachable, and accommodating.

I've never been at a place that offers the kind of solitude that Ratna Ling provides. The accommodations are superb, everything is taken care of and the spaciousness is extraordinary!

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.
