Details of this retreat

Calling all women yogis! You can feel wealthy in all the ways!

What is your relationship with money and finances? How can you feel more spiritually aligned with what you do and how you spend your time, dollars, and energy?  This retreat is designed to empower and excite you when it comes to money matters and spiritual life. You can be spiritual and financially thriving!

In this retreat, we use yoga principles to activate not only our spiritual lives, but also how we spend, earn, save, invest, and share our financial resources. This weekend is for you if you are ready to:

Transform and heal your relationship to money.
Let managing finances be a spiritual and self-care practice.
Enjoy earning, saving, spending, investing, and giving.
Learn new and creative ways to work with money.
Feel GOOD, abundant, and mindful when it comes to money.
Get clarity and purpose around your finances.

We will explore how to apply yoga principles and practices to activate our financial practices. We will reflect on dharma, impermanence, integrity, balance, flexibility, equanimity, nonattachment, surrender, faith, and creativity with our money.

We will develop financial literacy, discussing terms like: 401k, IRA, cryptocurrencies, stocks, bonds, portfolios, compound interest, dividends, bull vs bear market, and any other questions you may have!

This retreat is specifically for women who want to feel CLEAR about their money, their earning, their career, and their future. We want you to to have choices and power around how you earn, save, and spend. We want you to feel independent and free in your life, and we know it takes time, re-education, and rewiring of the nervous system.

This retreat is FOR YOU if:

You have begun your journey of money and finance education/healing by reading books, podcasts, courses, etc.
You are ready to learn and implement more strategies for earning, saving, investing, sharing, and scaling.
You have logistical questions about budgeting and investing.
You want to integrate spiritual views and practices with your financial life.
You want to allow money and finances to empower your spiritual life.

If you are ready to learn, grow, and support other women on this money journey, sign up today!

Mindful Mondays book club
Dear Gloria,

I wanted to extend gratitude for yet another inspiring Mindful Mondays class. This class came as I was embarking a major transition in my life. I have enjoyed all of your mindful Monday classes since they started during the pandemic! They are always very inspiring and tangible to my life at that time. You have a very inspiring way to connect with your students and find skillful ways to help them engage in your classes which helps make an educational and interactive class!
I always find the readings you choose from Rinpoche's books to be relevant to my life at that time.

Thank you for continuing to host these online classes which gives me a chance to reconnect with Rinpoche and our Sangha.

Now that I am finished with Graduate school. Hopefully I will be able to attend a retreat at Ratna Ling sometime in the near future. I remember cleaning up the land over there on a Sunday work day with Rinpoche years ago when I was a volunteer at Occitan! It will be nice to experience his vision of this center in person :)

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.
