Details of this retreat

Step into the radiant embrace of late summer and join us for an immersive retreat in Sonoma County, where the season’s vibrant energy becomes your catalyst for renewal and inner power. This is a time of peak abundance—when the sun’s warmth ripens the vineyards, nature pulses with life, and the universe beckons you to seize its gifts.

At this retreat, you’ll learn and practice energizing techniques of meditation, nature connection, and mindful movement. These practices awaken your radiance and vitality to fuel strength, clarity, and purpose for the journey ahead. When you align with what’s right for you, energy flows in support—while forcing things only leads to burnout. Here, we’ll guide you to tap into that natural current. Nestled in Sonoma’s rolling hills and soul-stirring landscapes, our program fuses ancient practices with the raw vitality of the land itself. This retreat is your chance to harvest not just the earth’s bounty, but your own untapped energy—through breath, movement, and stillness.

Whether you’re new to these arts or a seasoned seeker, you’ll walk away with a blazing toolkit to invigorate your body, sharpen your mind, and forge a deeper bond with yourself and the world around you.

What to Expect:

Yoga & Mindful Movement
Energizing Meditation Practices
Nature Connection Sessions
Mindfulness Workshops
Nourishing Connections

This retreat is a call to embrace your energy—perfect for anyone ready to recharge, grow, and blaze a new path. Enveloped by Sonoma County’s timeless allure, you’ll master techniques to awaken your radiance and vitality, learning to move with life’s flow rather than against it. Leave luminous, grounded, and armed with energizing practices to sustain you for the months ahead.

Beautiful/Restful
Even though it was overcast, drizzly the weekend was perfect. The "cabin" (truly a house) was warm, clean and everything in it was aesthetically perfect. The furnishings, the linen, etc all comfortable and cosy for a rainy weekend. The food was amazing. Vegetarian with vegan options. We attended 2 meditation sessions and our guide was genuine and very helpful. I hope to go back in the near future.

Wonderful
Rarely do the pictures in the ads match the reality of the location. In the case of Ratna Ling, the facility is more magnificent than the pictures. From the grounds, room, and retreat center, everything was beautiful. The staff was graceful and ever-present. As a non-vegetarian, I was skeptical that I would enjoy the food. But the food was plentiful and delicious. Thanks for a great retreat.

Nikki Estrada Yoga Retreat
This land holds so much love and is exquisitely tended to. I woke up in the morning with joy in my heart to have landed there. The cabins are well appointed with gorgeous natural woods. I loved sitting by the fireplace in the morning with my hot tea looking out over the redwood studded hills.
Nikki is a seasoned teacher. She teaches with much clarity and precision. Savasana was a dream on heated floors.
The food was well balanced cooked with love. The staff was very attentive and kind. I will definitely be back and shared ratna Ling‘s website with many of my friends. I highly recommend this place.
