We welcome Guest Teacher Damian Quinn (she/they/he) to offer our first ever LGBTQ+ retreat!

All folks in the LGBTQIA+ community are welcome!

Carve out a weekend for yourself to be with Queer family, open your heart, practice yoga + meditation in the California redwoods, and celebrate the multiplicity + fluidity of all beings. Come home to our yoga, meditation + play retreat: YOU BELONG.

This retreat is an experience designed for folks in the Queer community (even those curious about their identities). We will drop into sharing circles, celebrate intersectional + intergenerational differences, and claim our radical healing through the dharma of oneness.

COVID POLICY: For your safety and ours, we require proof of vaccination AND negative test result from all visitors to Ratna Ling Retreat Center. We wish to provide peace of mind for all of our residents and guests.
