Details of this retreat
This meditation retreat is offered with sliding scale pricing so that you can offer what you can and enjoy a retreat at Ratna Ling.
If youʻve had an active summer, a productive spring, or a busy new year, Autumn is now your time to pause, reflect, and harness your inner resources in a new and creative way. In these times, life always seems to move fast, but to find balance, we must consciously make time to rest, reset, and contemplate how our thoughts, emotions, and actions impact ourselves and others.
In this Autumn meditation retreat, our Ratna Ling Faculty has designed sessions that will provide calmness, slowness, and healing techniques for you to feel grounded and clear as you enter another season of activity. Using various meditation and movement practices, we will attain quiet and relaxation. We will experience different levels of awareness and come to know the habits, patterns and misconceptions that limit us.
This weekend includes:
Meditation
Kum Nye (Tibetan Relaxation Yoga)
Discussion and Reflection
Nature Walk
Self-Massage Techniques
Options for Massage, Reiki, and Spiritual Counseling for an additional cost

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.
