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.

Land of peace, solitude and deep beauty
I have stayed at Ratna Ling at least 7~8 times over the years and am never disappointed. The accommodations on this sacred land are only the beginning. Redwood trees, abundance of animals (including 2 sweet Tibetan ponies) and birdlife surround the curated natural grounds, but it is the peacefulness of being perched amongst the wheat colored hills that holds me. The dark sky nights are a sanctuary that radiates solitude, and with that the depth of beauty is complete...
The food at Ratna Ling really is the very best of all of the numerous retreat centers I've experienced over 35 yrs. Simple, healthy AND amazingly delicious!! The staff is kind, helpful and available. There is so much more to be said about Ratna Ling, but I'd say~go check it out for yourself!!!!

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.
