Each session is designed to bring awareness to different areas of the body and mind, helping you release tension and embrace a relaxed state of presence.
Mornings begin with healthy aging yoga to awaken and revitalize, while afternoons offer quiet time for personal reflection, journaling, or scenic hikes.
Evening practices encourage restfulness and deep relaxation, preparing you for a peaceful night’s sleep.
Whether you’re looking to strengthen your yoga practice, deepen your meditation skills, or simply take time for yourself, this retreat provides a compassionate space to breathe, unwind, and recharge.
All levels of experience are welcome.
Join us for this special journey of self-care and connection with like-minded individuals in a peaceful setting.
I am delighted to lead this retreat with George Wiegand who has been a student of our founder Tarthang Tulku and a full-time volunteer in Nyingma organizations for more than 30 years as a chef, baker, kitchen manager, temple builder, book binder, and pressman.
George is friendly, steady and a knowledgeable, generous and kind presence that I have witnessed first hand when leading retreats at Ratna Ling. He has a master’s of education in counseling and has worked as an educator and counselor in several high school systems. His hobbies include bread baking, basketball, choir singing and has a good sense of humor.
Thanks for sharing with a friend!
