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.

Excellent 😊
Ratna Ling is a beautiful retreat center with excellent staff, accommodations and food. The spiritual atmosphere is calming and inspiring.
Clare Buckley is my favorite yoga teacher. She offers gentle yoga in her own creative way. She never repeats a session, each one is unique. A bit of meditation, a lot of smiles and laughter and always beautiful surprises to delight you. She has a very generous spirit.
A winning combination!

Spring Awakening
The retreat with yoga teacher Clare was superb. There was nothing lacking. I have been to Ratna Ling before and had the same sense of calm and joy I experienced the last time I was there 15 years ago. Being in this beautiful environment has balanced me so I am more able to cope with some of the tragedies occurring in the world today. .
