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.

San Francisco International and Oakland International airports are approximately three hours south of Ratna Ling by car. Alaska Airlines flies to and from Sonoma County Airport in Santa Rosa which is approximately 1.5 hours from Ratna Ling by car. Unfortunately, there are no shuttles that bring you directly to Ratna Ling, so it is best to rent a car or email us to support in coordinating a carpool with fellow retreatants.

Breathtaking Beauty
Everything is coming up beautiful if you're planning to stay at the Ratna Ling Retreat Center.
Joined my daughter for the Radiance Retreat, hosted by the most delightful Yoga and Meditation professionals who's gifts were boundless and generously shared them with us.
The Cabin was clean, spacious, and newly renovated with natural light and heavenly views. We were bathed in millions of stars at night, cooled by refreshing fog in the morning, and surrounded by soaring trees and warming sunshine.
The staff are volunteers, and delightful without exception. The food was lovingly prepared fresh daily, and absolutely delicious.
The Retreat center includes a beautiful lodge, eating area with indoor/outdoor seating and the most enchanting Tibetan Buddhist Temple and we highly recommend the tour and if you are very lucky, George will be your tour guide.
Don't hesitate to experience the joy, laughter and enlightenment of the Ratna Ling Retreat Center. You will remember the experience with reverence.

Space and Ease
The property is beautiful. The cabin gorgeous and well appointed. The food plentiful and tasty. Nature abounds - saw 3 deer, 15 wild turkey, and many different birds. The morning sunrise over the ridge and fog in the valley started the day and a star filled sky ended the night. Peace and tranquility.
