About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

We welcome special guest teachers Charlotte Keane and Shoshana Hebshi to offer a healing retreat that connects you to Nature and your lineage.
Do you feel a calling to connect with Mother Earth and your ancestors?
Join Shamanic Priestess Charlotte Keane from The Unstruck Drum for this weekend of deep communion with nature. You will learn to tune in so deeply that you can feel the voice of Mother Earth. 
You will experience a Shamanic drum journey to meet with your spirit animals in the tradition of our ancestral elders. 
Our daily yoga practices, led by Shoshana Hebshi, will help us feel into the grounding sensation of Mother Earth, composting any parts of your energetic self that needs to be let go so you can welcome abundance and gratitude into your fullest self.
Together, we will make essential oils from locally grown lavender. The ceremonial extraction of oils is ancient work performed by Priestesses all over the world. Using the holy oils we create together, you will be anointed to open the third eye chakra–Ajna, to support your ongoing path of awareness and spiritual communication. You will be able to take some oil home with you. 
This retreat includes:


Yoga for all levels
Shamanic Drum Journeys
Connection to Spirit Animals
Handcrafting essential oils from plants

Charlotte is a third generation Shamanic healer and curandera. Ordained in the Order of the Rose, she is a Myrraphore and Priestess of the Rose Magdalene.  Her ancestors from Mexico shared these practices with her, and she is honored to bring this medicine to you. 
Shoshana Hebshi, owner of Revolution Yoga in Santa Rosa has been teaching and practicing yoga for 25 years. The practice has changed her worldview, her mission in life and her driving purpose. Through the creation of Revolution Yoga, she aims to manifest her desires for Healing the World one breath at a time.

Space and Ease
The property is beautiful. The cabin gorgeous and well appointed. The food plentiful and tasty. Nature abounds - saw 3 deer, 15 wild turkey, and many different birds. The morning sunrise over the ridge and fog in the valley started the day and a star filled sky ended the night. Peace and tranquility.

Breathtaking Beauty
Everything is coming up beautiful if you're planning to stay at the Ratna Ling Retreat Center.

Joined my daughter for the Radiance Retreat, hosted by the most delightful Yoga and Meditation professionals who's gifts were boundless and generously shared them with us.

The Cabin was clean, spacious, and newly renovated with natural light and heavenly views. We were bathed in millions of stars at night, cooled by refreshing fog in the morning, and surrounded by soaring trees and warming sunshine.

The staff are volunteers, and delightful without exception. The food was lovingly prepared fresh daily, and absolutely delicious.

The Retreat center includes a beautiful lodge, eating area with indoor/outdoor seating and the most enchanting Tibetan Buddhist Temple and we highly recommend the tour and if you are very lucky, George will be your tour guide.

Don't hesitate to experience the joy, laughter and enlightenment of the Ratna Ling Retreat Center. You will remember the experience with reverence.

Land of peace, solitude and deep beauty
I have stayed at Ratna Ling at least 7~8 times over the years and am never disappointed. The accommodations on this sacred land are only the beginning. Redwood trees, abundance of animals (including 2 sweet Tibetan ponies) and birdlife surround the curated natural grounds, but it is the peacefulness of being perched amongst the wheat colored hills that holds me. The dark sky nights are a sanctuary that radiates solitude, and with that the depth of beauty is complete...
The food at Ratna Ling really is the very best of all of the numerous retreat centers I've experienced over 35 yrs. Simple, healthy AND amazingly delicious!! The staff is kind, helpful and available. There is so much more to be said about Ratna Ling, but I'd say~go check it out for yourself!!!!
