Details of this retreat
Join Dr. Jennifer Marie Lane and Sound and Color Practitioner, Lydia Hwang, for a deeply healing immersion in the redwoods,
For those looking to soften, surrender, and become more fluid with the changes of life, this retreat is for you.
In the Celtic tradition, Autumn is the season of water and throughout the weekend, water will be our guide. Embodied, the spine serves as the physical and energetic channel for the healing waters or life force. We will enter into the essence of water’s wisdom through sound baths, yoga, ritual, meditation, myth and poetry. The yoga is alignment-based, contemplative and conscious, available and modified for all bodies.
All are welcome. There will be time and space to be together and to drop into the solace of quiet reflection. The invitation is to yield, to bend, to shift, to let your edges soften, to release and be made new.
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.

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.
