About this Retreat
Details of this retreat
At Ratna Ling Retreat Center, we are honored to launch the Goodness, Beauty, and Light Capital Campaign, a heartfelt initiative devoted to the beautification and renewal of our cherished sanctuary. For many years, Ratna Ling has offered refuge to those seeking peace, healing, and spiritual growth—cradled in the quiet majesty of the redwoods. Now, we have a profound opportunity to care for this sacred environment with the same generosity and devotion it has offered thousands of guests, volunteers, and practitioners.
This campaign is our commitment to preserving the serene atmosphere that makes Ratna Ling unique, while thoughtfully enhancing the spaces where mindfulness, compassion, goodness, and wisdom flourish. As our community continues to grow, so does our responsibility to steward this land, uplift its natural beauty, and renew the facilities that support our programs.
Together, we can ensure that Ratna Ling continues to nurture the heart and mind—today, and for generations to come. Thank you for helping us carry forward the spirit of goodness, beauty, and light. Our goal is $175,000, and every contribution—large or small—helps illuminate the path forward.
To express our gratitude, we are delighted to offer the following appreciation gifts.
Pearl of Goodness Offerings - All donations are welcome and appreciated
Wish-Fulfilling Jewel - Donate $1,000

Support cottage updating to ensure comfort and serenity for guests

San Francisco International and Oakland International airports are approximately three hours south of Ratna Ling by car. Alaska Airlines flies to and from Sonoma County Airport in Santa Rosa which is approximately 1.5 hours from Ratna Ling by car. Unfortunately, there are no shuttles that bring you directly to Ratna Ling, so it is best to rent a car or email us to support in coordinating a carpool with fellow retreatants.

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.
