Breath, Balance, and Relaxation – A Contemplative Retreat
With Barry Schieber
June 3 - 5, 2022
For your safety and ours, we require proof of vaccination from all visitors and residents of Ratna Ling Retreat Center. All participants will wear masks indoors, and some classes may be offered outdoors. We wish to provide peace of mind for all of our guests.
“Perfect ease is not an ordinary part of mindset; it may take some practice.”
Inspired by quotations of Tarthang Tulku, this retreat is an opportunity to bring relaxation and balance into our lives. Through breathing and relaxation exercises, meditation and inquiry, we soften the body, breath and mind. Working with the quotations provides insights for reflection and appreciation for our journey. Take this opportunity to become quiet and turn inward.
This weekend includes:
-Meditation
-Tibetan Yoga
-Discussion and Journaling
Each guest will receive a complimentary book “Quotes – Breath” as a reflection guide for the weekend.
