Details of this retreat

This Spring, awaken within and celebrate the vibrancy of renewal, hope, transformation, and growth with Leila Swenson... This yoga retreat weekend in the stunning and magnificent coastal redwoods is an invitation to step away from the demands of daily life and enjoy space for self-inquiry and reflection, solitude and community connection, invigorating and relaxing yoga practice, chanting mantra and silent meditation, as well as opportunities for hiking, reading, rest, exploring, and more!



We hope you'll join us for the joy, peace, and wellness of yoga practice, the natural beauty of Springtime in the countryside, delightful vegetarian cuisine, the sanctuary of private, luxurious, and cozy cottages, and the kindness and care of the community in this serene "Land of Treasures"... All are welcome."We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us in our soundest sleep." ~Henry David Thoreau

Beautiful and Serene
The Ratna Ling retreat center is located in the woods along the spectacular No CA Coast. The cottages are deluxe with comfortable beds and seating, porches and kitchenettes. There is space there for escape, a personal retreat of whatever sort is needed. There are yoga and meditation sessions and thoughtful, tasty vegetarian meals. The folks that live and work there are friendly and accommodating. Can't say enough good things!

Beautiful setting for relaxing experience
Ratna Ling offers a gorgeous scenery among the redwoods and valleys to enjoy time to reset. Food is always flavourful and staff is very kind. My only concern was that I thought we were too many participants in the yoga room to feel comfortable. Would definitely recommend this place!
