Details of this retreat

Have you found it hard to tap into your joy lately? Feeling bogged down by work, life, and all the to-do lists, youʻve maybe lost creativity, spontaneity, and the ability to relax.













Join the joyful GRAVITY Founder, life coach, breathworker and sound healer, Michael Wilson, for a special spring retreat curated to spark curiosity, deepen awareness and rediscover joy. Through thought-provoking questions, guided breathwork and sound healing, and intentional movement, this multi-modal retreat will help busy professionals/parents reconnect with what your soul desires and rediscover your joy.


joyful GRAVITY is the belief that joy already exists within.
joyful GRAVITY was founded with the vision of a world where we all experience a life with more joy. Over time, our life experiences, and expectations we’ve absorbed from family, school, work, religion and society, have conditioned us to operate from a place of should and supposed to vs choice and love. The result is experiencing life with less joy than many of us would like. It takes work, but it is possible to rediscover the joy within.
Let’s drop in.




This all-inclusive, 2-night retreat includes:

Focused breathwork meditation sessions
Michael's signature joyfulGRAVITY Breathwork & Sound Healing Journey
Group reflections and discussions
Yoga practices
Nightly healing sound baths
Connection with other humans seeking inner peace and balance
Luxe, spacious, serene accommodations
Delicious, locally-sourced vegetarian meals
Reserved time for connecting with new friends, quiet journaling and time in nature

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.
