Details of this retreat

Take a sacred pause, and enjoy a peaceful Autumn retreat to rest, replenish and reconnect.

Join Clare Buckley on this deeply nurturing retreat honoring the potency of transitional and liminal moments. In the serene and beautiful setting of Ratna Ling we will awaken to the experience of holistic wellbeing, centered around embodied movement, breath work, energy work, meditation and mindful practices to deeply nourish energy pathways and to restore balance and equanimity. Explore the gifts of a practice inspired by nature and the shifting rhythms of the seasons and tune into your inner landscape with love and compassion. Deep rest, spacious renewal and reconnection are at the core of this retreat, enabling participants to fully unwind and restore their energy. Clare shares insights from Ayurveda, TCM, Yin, Somatic, bodywork and embodiment practices, along with sound healing and guided meditations.

Alongside her wellbeing program there will be ample time for pause and connecting with the magical setting of Ratna Ling. Nature bathe, journal, hike, hug a redwood tree and feel nourished by delicious vegetarian meals. Massage is also available onsite. This retreat is suitable for anyone who feels a resonance with this lovingly held retreat and welcomes all levels of practitioners.

amazing place and beautiful retreat
Both the setting and the program were great. Stacy was a very good guiding the retreat. Ratna Ling is amazing. Perhaps the only missing thing was more information regarding the type and level of yoga that was going to be shared during the retreat

What a hidden gem!
I had no idea this place existed. I feel so very fortunate to have come across the yoga and meditation retreat that I attended. The accommodations were well above my expectations. The grounds and common areas highly impressive and peaceful and calm and the staff and amenities and meals were amazing. I will definitely be looking for more retreat and volunteer opportunities.

A most enJOYable experience.
A perfect setting for the writer's retreat I attended, Ratna Ling was everything I had hoped for, and more. Accommodations were more than expected: spacious cabins nestled in the redwoods, comfy beds, modern bathroom (with jacuzzi tub!), an inspiring stroll to breakfast in the morning, and the vegetarian meals are superb! A quiet like no other. A most enJOYable experience.
