Quiet Spaces: A Winter Retreat

As the season turns to more darkness and cold, our bodies naturally long to retreat inward.  December is a time to reflect on what has transpired in the year and process all of the emotions and experiences that have come to pass.  This retreat is designed for you to get quiet, to sit by the fire, drink some tea, let the mind settle, stop doing, and just lay down.  Let yourself be silent and enjoy the gifts of stillness.

This program includes:

restorative yoga classes
sitting meditation
silent movement
nature walk
fireside mantras
journal time

Classes are for all levels, both beginners and seasoned practitioners.  We invite you to slow down with us.

COVID POLICY ( as of JAN 2025):  For your safety and ours, we require proof of vaccination AND negative test result from all visitors to Ratna Ling Retreat Center. We wish to provide peace of mind for all of our residents and guests.
