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.

Fantastic experience
It was my first time visiting Ratna king and I was so pleasantly surprised. I felt well taken care of from the healthy delicious food, to the cozy well appointed cottage. Most of all though is the spiritual Buddhist nature of all. Our meditation and movement guides filled my soul! I feel spacious and at ease. Thank you all. I highly recommend a visit to Ratna Ling

Fantastic retreat
I absolutely loved my retreat at Ratna Ling. The property is just gorgeous and so peaceful. The accommodation and food were great and they did a great job matching up people into the shared cottages. The retreat itself was well organized and had variety to it so there was lots to take away from it. Highly recommend.

Unbelievable Weekend Away - Far Surpassed my expectations!
I was gifted a weekend away with my bestfriend a weekend retreat to Ratna Ling and had zero expectations. I was honestly annoyed I was being pushed out of the house but knew it was for good reason :) When we arrived at the grounds I was already impressed with the quality of everything and everyone. The buildings are beautiful, the area feels calm and sacred and the positive feelings immediately kicked in.
The sessions for our meditative retreat were perfect for newbies and those looking to find their way back to meditation. The teachings were approachable and comprehensible and really applicable to modern day life.
The accommodations are spacious and perfect.
The FOOD! OMG, zero expectations here again and I was blown away. So delicious, I ate SO much that weekend because it was all so fresh and flavorful. Mangia and Meditation <3

Run, don't walk to this retreat center! I will definitely be back for other segments!

Thank you to the entire team at Ratna Ling for a positive and memorable experience.

Another amazing weekend retreat!
Gloria’s retreats are the best gift you could give yourself. They’re a journey into yourself that you never knew you needed. She creates a magical safe space where you can just be. A chance to get away from the noise, be yourself, and find yourself. Being with other people who are doing the same brings a collective energy, wisdom and sense of community. I’ve felt closer to people I’ve met on a weekend retreat than people I’ve known for years. Everything at the retreat is an invitation to participate as much or as little as you want. Her retreats are a chance to embrace yourself with love and acceptance. You never know what to expect but for me they always offer something beautiful that stays with me.
