Resident Teacher’s Retreats

At Ratna Ling, our staff teachers offer more than retreat programming — they invite you into a living mandala of presence, devotion, and transformation. As long-time residents and practitioners trained in the lineage of Tarthang Tulku, they bring warmth, wisdom, and deep experience to every offering.

Retreats at Ratna Ling unfold in the sacred rhythm of this land — surrounded by redwoods, nourished by silence, and held in the spirit of service. Whether you’re seeking rest, insight, or connection, these retreats are gateways to the heart of contemplative living.

Enjoy our Space & Ease, a personal retreat or any one of our meditations. We hope to see you here.

Emotional Wellness: A meditation retreat

With Helena Gold

March 4 - 7, 2027

Emotions are a natural part of being human—but when they feel overwhelming, they can leave us feeling ungrounded, reactive, or exhausted. In this retreat, we'll explore emotional wellness through meditation, mindful movement, reflection, and contemplative practices that help you understand the wisdom your emotions hold.
