Reclaim: A Nervous System Retreat for Deep Rest and Relaxation

February 6 - 8, 2026

About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Come rest, reconnect, and remember who you are beneath the noise.

In a world that rewards overdoing, it can feel nearly impossible to slow down. We push through stress, ignore what our bodies are telling us, and stay stuck in survival mode. Eventually, something gives and we realize we can’t keep living this way.

This weekend is your chance to step away from all of that. To exhale. To feel calm again. Together, we’ll slow down through restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra, nervous system-informed movement, and a special Tibetan meditation session to help you work with your thoughts and quiet your mind. Practical nervous system teachings are woven into each session so your learning becomes embodied. A deeply calming massage can be added on to support full relaxation.

You’ll leave feeling grounded, nourished, and more like yourself, with simple tools to support your nervous system long after the retreat ends.

You don’t have to earn your rest. You just have to reclaim the space to receive it.

COVID POLICY: For your safety and ours, we require that all guests be vaccinated against Covid and provide proof of a negative covid test result within 48 hours of arrival.  We wish to provide peace of mind for all of our residents and guests.

 

*Massage will be offered this weekend by our Guest Bodyworker, Sarah Stickel. Spaces are limited, so if youʻd like to book your massage now, please contact Sarah and learn more here:

Spaciousness & Ease
Came to Ratna Ling for my birthday to do a retreat with my mom and cousin. It was absolutely wonderful. Accommodations and food exceeding my expectations and the programming was just when I was hoping for…. To find a sense of space and easy

Fantastic experience
It was my first time visiting Ratna king and I was so pleasantly surprised. I felt well taken care of from the healthy delicious food, to the cozy well appointed cottage. Most of all though is the spiritual Buddhist nature of all. Our meditation and movement guides filled my soul! I feel spacious and at ease. Thank you all. I highly recommend a visit to Ratna Ling

Fantastic retreat
I absolutely loved my retreat at Ratna Ling. The property is just gorgeous and so peaceful. The accommodation and food were great and they did a great job matching up people into the shared cottages. The retreat itself was well organized and had variety to it so there was lots to take away from it. Highly recommend.

Unbelievable Weekend Away - Far Surpassed my expectations!
I was gifted a weekend away with my bestfriend a weekend retreat to Ratna Ling and had zero expectations. I was honestly annoyed I was being pushed out of the house but knew it was for good reason :) When we arrived at the grounds I was already impressed with the quality of everything and everyone. The buildings are beautiful, the area feels calm and sacred and the positive feelings immediately kicked in.
The sessions for our meditative retreat were perfect for newbies and those looking to find their way back to meditation. The teachings were approachable and comprehensible and really applicable to modern day life.
The accommodations are spacious and perfect.
The FOOD! OMG, zero expectations here again and I was blown away. So delicious, I ate SO much that weekend because it was all so fresh and flavorful. Mangia and Meditation <3

Run, don't walk to this retreat center! I will definitely be back for other segments!

Thank you to the entire team at Ratna Ling for a positive and memorable experience.

Another amazing weekend retreat!
Gloria’s retreats are the best gift you could give yourself. They’re a journey into yourself that you never knew you needed. She creates a magical safe space where you can just be. A chance to get away from the noise, be yourself, and find yourself. Being with other people who are doing the same brings a collective energy, wisdom and sense of community. I’ve felt closer to people I’ve met on a weekend retreat than people I’ve known for years. Everything at the retreat is an invitation to participate as much or as little as you want. Her retreats are a chance to embrace yourself with love and acceptance. You never know what to expect but for me they always offer something beautiful that stays with me.
