Rosalyn White was the Director of Ratna Ling for 7 years. She has studied meditation and Tibetan art under the guidance of the Tibetan Buddhist teacher, Tarthang Tulku, for over forty years. She holds a BFA in Fine Arts from the California College of Art and a teaching credential from UC Berkeley. She has been teaching classes in meditation and sacred art for over 25 years. The depth and breadth of the Tibetan teachings have had a profound influence on her life, and inspired her to share her knowledge in order to help others to find the beauty and purpose in their lives. Her goal is that in your time with her you will get in touch with a stiller, deeper part of yourself and gain a sense of health and balance.

- Certified End of Life Doula providing emotional, educational and practical support that empowers clients to make informed decisions regarding their end of life care. As a Doula, Christine communicates in a respectful, non-judgmental, encouraging way so that the client's wishes can be heard and fully understood.

Details of this retreat
RECLAIM YOUR LIFE THIS YEAR. Take back your time. Take back your energy.
Bring your life back into balance. If youʻve been going going going, or giving giving giving, we invite you to join us this January to start the new year with new habits, new perspectives, and new intentions to take back your life and reclaim your energy.
Have you been giving from an empty cup? Are you exhausted, agitated, annoyed, impatient, or simply numb?
If so, this is your time to bring your energy into balance, back to center. When life gets so busy, and we get caught up in the cycle of keeping up with deadlines, work, family, caregiving, entertaining, and so many other types of maintenance, we can lose track of what's important, like our well-being, inner peace, laughter, and our personal truth.
You matter, and you are more than enough. So many tasks can wait for now. Your family or job will be fine without you for a few days.
Nourish yourself and enjoy three nights at Ratna Ling to unwind, reflect, and breathe into yourself again. Refill your cup. Remember what you value the most, and then return to your life with a renewed sense of ease, joy, and strength.
