Details of this retreat
We welcome Guest Teacher, Stacie Overby of San Francisco, who offers a deeply transformative retreat on FREEDOM.
We practice freedom. Freedom from suffering. Much of this freedom comes from seeing life as it is, having a View that is not obstructed by illusion or projection. We practice a view of life that incorporates both self-responsibility and surrender.
There is suffering that is unavoidable and suffering that is avoidable. How we respond to the difficulties in our lives directly impacts how we will suffer. We have the capacity to navigate the challenges in our lives with grace. Our practice prepares the field for the heart and mind to open spontaneously. From an open heart and mind we have access to ease, spaciousness and peace, despite the toughness of life.
In this 3-day retreat, we will explore the central causes of suffering, from the view of Buddhadharma, Yoga, and Integral Psychology. We can learn how to skillfully respond to find more openness and freedom in our day-to-day lives.
Our practice weaves together a potent combination of healing art modalities such as breathwork, meditation, yoga asana, somatic movement and self-inquiry practices.

An energetic portal
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

A beautiful and inviting setting for a weekend of introspection and relaxation
I attended Ratna Ling Retreat Center for a weekend group retreat focused on finding joy. The center is beautiful and well worth the drive from San Francisco. The facilities were clean and inviting and the staff was welcoming and created a peaceful environment. There are many treasures on the retreat grounds, including Redwood circles and an oak and Redwood tree that have joined to grow as one. Wild turkeys, woodpeckers and many other birds can be found throughout the grounds. We also received a special treat as the leaves on the Japanese Maples were bright pink, creating an absolutely stunning sight. I left feeling refreshed, more connected to myself and nature and inspired. I will be returning many times to Ratna Ling.
