We encourage you to meet our Ratna Ling Faculty and learn ways to work with your thoughts and emotions.

Peace Beauty Serenity
2+ day yoga retreat with the inimitable, Bex Urban. Highlights of Ratna Ling Retreat Center - the staff, food, temple (including sound meditation), education, extraordinary nature (forest baths readily available) and comfortable, clean accommodations. Kindness abounds.

Rat a Ling with Gretchen
Just what I needed. Gretchen was a teacher of many things and I came away with many tools to enrich my soul. An amazing group of people all of whom brought so much to the group. I will be returning for sure.

The most peaceful retreat center set in nature
I LOVE Ratna LIng. It is remote, peaceful, with nothing but nature sounds to hear. The fall is lovely here. Lots of wind, the sound of leaves and birds and trees. It's a very easy place to disconnect from all the city things and people here. The retreat program I participated in was not overly scheduled, calm, healing. Food was super fresh, vegetarian, and lovely. The cottages are soooo nice! I left wanting more time there...

Best retreat in Bay Area
This was my third time and all I can say is each time I fall in love even more with Ratna Ling! The entire wooded forest, the gorgeous cabins, the free roaming turkeys, the incredibly delicious meals and Ofcourse the energy of peace radiating through out. Linda the director co led this retreat which was filled with insights and activities to calm and reset. Forest meditation to self massage techniques. We also received books and a journal. I highly recommend a Ratna retreat to everyone!
