Details of this retreat

The Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year-- a celebration of light, vitality, and growth. The Full Moon invites reflection, release, and renewal.
During this cosmic convergence, join Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master, and Musician, Alyssa Lauren Stone, for a transformative weekend in the forests of Sonoma County– 900 feet above the sea, as we utilize these celestial energies to awaken our inner radiance and restore balance.
From energizing vinyasa and pranayama to gentle yoga, meditation, and restorative postures under the full moonlight, we will activate the body's vitality while surrendering to whatever comes our way.
As a classically trained musician, Alyssa will also offer a mystical sound bath journey using Himalayan and crystal bowls, gong, harmonium, chimes, and other percussive instruments to soothe the body and mind.
There will be an afternoon of quiet time for introspection, whether that be journaling or exploring the hiking trails around the property.

wonderful space to relax
I went to Ratna Ling Retreat Center for a yoga and sound retreat. I've never been here and didn't know anyone who had been here, so I was taking a leap of faith, and it paid off. I had a great time.

Ratna Ling provided clean, modern space yoga studio with heated floors. The food was fresh (vegetarian) and the guest cabins were nested in the forest. Half the cabins were 5 min walk to the lodge, and the other cabins #14-17 were 10 min walk or 3 min drive. Because of the rain and evening yoga classes ending around 8-9pm, I drove.

I guess the only complaint i might have is that the bedrooms and bathroom doors didn't have locks. I was assigned a roommate, a lovely woman and we had no problems, but no locks on bathroom doors, weird.

Meditation retreat - grounding community
Im so thankful I made the time for a weekend long meditation retreat at Ratna Ling. George was the lead facilitator and I was grateful for his ability to create a safe, open, and accessible space for all. He gently guided us to longer meditation sits, with an array of different approaches. I left the weekend feeling grounded, with a stronger commitment to meditation and a wonderful community. Hope to be back soon!

No Complaints
The food.
The lodging.
The Conference Center/Yoga Studio.
The Temple that we were given a private tour to.

The setting.
And the Staff.

The only complaint I could give was that the retreat was far too short.

Thank You.
