Mindful Mondays - a gem!
We recently completed Mindful Mondays in November with Gloria. Such a treat to spend time learning, listening, and talking with others while absorbing information and techniques for mindfulness and meditation. We have already reaped the benefits of using the practices at home, work, and with others. Such a treat to be in Gloria's tender care. Thank you!

My favorite retreat center
I love Ratna Ling. The cabins are spacious, filled with windows and high ceilings, and very clean. The staff are so kind and helpful. They gives tours of the temple, property, nearby hikes, and talks about the history of the property. The vegetarian food is absolutely delicious and satisfying. Recently they have begun making bread which is fresh and hard to resist.

I've come here 6 times now and can't wait to come back. Every time I'm here, the stress of life just melts away and feel so cared for and rejuvenated. This is a special place.
