"I attended the Life Vows Weekend Retreat. The Retreat provided a balance of private and shared time that allowed me to fully engage in creating my first Vow. The leaders and attendees were very welcoming and supportive. After a long hiatus away from Zen Community of Oregon, it was a wonderful way to start the New Year and reconnect with my self and others. . "

Experiences on Retreat
"Really enjoyed the sound bath that was put on for the winter solstice. So peaceful and well done.
The grounds are beautiful as well. Looking forward to coming back when it’s warmer to enjoy the forest for all it is. "
"I have had the joy and restoration of visiting The Osage Forest of Peace for over 15 years. As the years have passed, with the staff and board and donors prayerful attention it continues to be a place that renews me and the others who come. It is a pocket of peace indeed. Thank you all for your lived out grace, acceptance, care, prayer, mediations, and commitment to this globous interfaith retreat. It is a place that exemplifies the truth of "all shall be well." "
"Here at Pachamama I found a safe and healing sanctuary that facilitated me to experience deep healing processes. This was my first time experiencing the Medicine. Each person I spoke to from the sanctuary treated me with respect and the full attention of their time when I asked any and every question. Working with nervous , scientific, and critical people cannot be a simple task. I come from a professional medical background.
I felt seen, and heard, and held here. I felt that my own spirituality was respected and that I could come here as my authentic self without any pretense. I also felt that the sanctuary here is safe for you to explore your inner self but also welcomes the special opportunity to also share and connect with the community of people embarking on the journey with you . I found that the individual discussions that organically arose over tea or sitting in the kitchen together were also deeply helpful and meaningful to me. Being around the vulnerability and group sharing of other participants facilitated a large portion of my own healing process and inner acceptance.
No aspect of my weekend here felt forced or unsafe. I came in with some trepidation and fear, but like others mention that seemed to melt away on my journey driving here. The guides attended to my physical needs in arcane and graceful manners , I am still in such awe of how they took care of me here.
I feel so incredibly grateful for the multitudes of manners in which each person at Pachamama served me , held me, guided me, and even allowed me the privacy and space to completely break down ( and then return from that state -in grace even- with a profound sense of relief.)
I absolutely cannot wait to give back in service what I have been given here . I followed all of the guidelines and truly believe that the mission here honors the sacred old ways of this medicine , as well as helps facilitate its safe expansion to new corners of the human population.
My work within myself is only just beginning, and I look forward to giving back to others using my new perspectives and tools. I am so grateful to have found this place, and to Derek for personally reaching out to me when I had questions, to Amy, and Leandro, and Arkawa, and to each Guide that helped me on my journey, they know who they are.

"I love the Osage Forest Of Peace. I had a great weekend retreat there. My cabin was comfortable and I enjoyed hiking the forest. The food was delicious and the overall atmosphere was one of peace and calm. This place is such a gem! "
"Weekend at Ratna Ling any time of year is a gift and especially in the winter. The towering redwoods stand sentry around the spacious, cozy cabins. The heated lodge floor adds a special layer of comfort as you make your way to the yoga mat. Views of redwoods and hills and meadows and native landscaping are framed by the large windows in every room. At night, the moonlight streams in and stars twinkle. It is dark - no ambient light; and it's silent - no traffic. The vegetarian meals are sumptuous and nurturing. The company of like-minded individuals can be as restorative as silence. At Ratna Ling, you choose to interact, to retreat, to engage, to shelter or any mix that suits you. Ratna Ling is where my tranquility is restored, season after season, after season. I invite you to explore Ratna Ling, anytime. Namaste."
"After just returning from this magical place, I want to share with others how important it is to get away, if even for a weekend, to re-charge, go inward and be part of a beautiful community commited to making the world a better place, starting with ourselves. The cabins, the staff, the food, are worth your time and investment!"
"My wife and I just finished leading a weekend retreat at Ratna Ling, truly as the name implies, a jewel of a place. It is perhaps the 6th time we are held our events here, and it is consistently one of the best places in the world were we get the privilege to share our yoga with people. The setting is beautiful, the lodgings wonderful, the vegetarian cuisine delicious and plentiful and the staff attentive and always helpful. We love this place and can't wait to return in 2025! "
"The facility is spotless with a serenity that invites you to relax and enjoy nature. Food is phenomenal.—tasty and very nutritious."
"hello
My retreat was great met alot of interesting people from everywhere as far as Brazil and China most people were from New Jersey. The food was great. I was in the yoga class on a chair and then decided I wanted to sit on the mat i miss and landed on the floor. There was so many people that just jumped out to help me. The place is very peaceful it feels like one big family. Catherine Asaro "
"I was so anxious to do this. But I did it anyway. I had no idea the power and the wisdom of the plant medicine. I was clearly shown where my heart has been blocked and why. I also got to experience the unexplainable brilliance and beauty of all life and that I am a part of it all. For me, it was hard work as I had to face feelings I have been running from my whole life. The discomfort was necessary and ultimately liberating. One of the greatest decisions of my life."
"I just sat with ayahuasca at Pachamama this past weekend and I am overflowing with gratitude for the experience and the level of service that I received. Derek and the team provided the highest level of care and service that I've ever received at a ceremony before. Juan was amazing and the whole experience was so beautiful and well thought out. One of my friends that I've done medicine with in the past asked me how Pachamama compared to the other experiences I've had and, without hesitation, I told her that it was, hands down, the best. Thank you so much for this beautiful experience. I felt so incredibly nurtured, held, and cared for. I will definitely be back."
"I am from Ohio and recently went through some life transitions. When considering where I would like to heal, I immediately decided that I would travel to the Forest. This is the place where I feel safe, where I encounter the Divine Mother, where I can rest. "
"I've been hearing about Ratna Ling from friends for quite a while, and finally made it down there this past weekend for a Space & Ease retreat. The retreat was a nice break, food was all good, the cabins are wonderful - I would love to have one for my house! Since there was a lot of free time (purposely) I don't have a ton to say about the classes, but both the meditation and yoga ones I attended were a great intro. I hope to make it back sometime!"
"The facility is perfect for holding a space for plant medicine. The staff couldn't have been more supportive and pure hearted! Both nights of the ceremonies were very challenging, which promoted growth and a new awareness of things that I need to work on. I would highly recommend Pachamama to anyone looking for a spiritual retreat!"
"What a beautiful day! We spent time in contemplative prayer together, we forest bathed amongst the trees, we had a wonderful lunch with the Sisters, we shopped in the priory bookstore, and we listened to wisdom on all the many benefits of engaging in centering prayer. The retreat exceeded my expectations. It was everything I needed to start the season calm, rested and at peace. "
"Absolutely amazing in every way. "
"I relaxed completely in this beautiful retreat space. The meals provided were delicious and nutritious. I enjoyed staying in the simple, basic rooms and slept well. "
"Excellent retreat experience!"
"Beautiful retreat leader!"
"Wonderful retreat leader at a fantastic place. Would come back in a heartbeat!"
"I appreciated the pace and offerings by Jogen in this Home Retreat. It gave me an opportunity to treat the daylong time and space with care and awareness and consider how to make such care a practice.
Thank you.

"Thank you for an amazing afternoon communing both with Mother Nature and God.
Peace in our hearts, peace in our homes, praying our community, peace in our country as we build peace on earth. "
"The peace and tranquillity of the property are evident from the moment you close your car door. The people on-site during our visit went about their activities without disrupting the ambience. There were ample places to meditate, pray, and interact with nature. Gardens and hiking trails were beautiful and inviting. I definitely plan to return."
"The sanctuary, surrounded by old growth redwoods, is a very special portal where connection to the divine feels effortless and powerful. The volunteers who live on property are delightful, the cabins are lovely, the grounds an amazing and the food is magnificent! I was on a cleanse with a very limiting protocol, but at every buffet there were plenty of delicious vegan and gluten free options. I didn’t feel compromised at all! The retreat I attended was the icing on the cake. All in all there is nothing I would have changed. It was a 10 out of 10 all the way around Di"
"Osage Forest of Peace is a magical place, and the retreats offered here are well worth the time, effort, financial investment, and participation. In the Rites of Passage retreat (initiating into perimenopause/menopause), not a single detail was missed. This retreat was a wonderful, connected, empowering experience. Jenny was a terriferic guide; offering a wealth of wisdom, enthusiasm, modeled vulnerability, and passion. Thank you so very much for creating this space and for responding to the inner call with a willing "yes." "
"Jeni was an absolutely amazing retreat leader and kind soul. She put forth a tremendous effort for a very well-thought-out retreat. Highly recommended!"
"Phenomenal experience! I couldn't have asked for more! Everything was absolutely perfect! The people, the course material, Jeni, the food, the accommodationseverything was just spectacular!"
"Jeni gracefully led menopause discussions and encouraged the participants' to share our experiences which led to a greater understanding of the physical and spiritual changes we are all experiencing. What a fantastic group! I appreciated Jeni's sincerity, compassion, and knowledge shared during the Menopause Retreat. She was an exceedingly gracious, creative and caring host. 5 out of 5 stars!"
"I learned more about menopause this weekend than I ever had; I appreciated the honest conversations with a fantastic group of understanding women going through the same physical changes."
