A Year for Me: New Year Self-Care Retreat
With Karmyn Ojeda and Erica Martzen
January 15 - 18, 2027
RECLAIM YOUR LIFE THIS YEAR. Take back your time. Take back your energy.
Bring your life back into balance. If youʻve been going going going, or giving giving giving, we invite you to join us this January to start the new year with new habits, new perspectives, and new intentions to take back your life and reclaim your energy.
Have you been giving from an empty cup? Are you exhausted, agitated, annoyed, impatient, or simply numb?
If so, this is your time to bring your energy into balance, back to center. When life gets so busy, and we get caught up in the cycle of keeping up with deadlines, work, family, caregiving, entertaining, and so many other types of maintenance, we can lose track of what’s important, like our well-being, inner peace, laughter, and our personal truth.
You matter, and you are more than enough. So many tasks can wait for now. Your family or job will be fine without you for a few days.
Nourish yourself and enjoy three nights at Ratna Ling to unwind, reflect, and breathe into yourself again. Refill your cup. Remember what you value the most, and then return to your life with a renewed sense of ease, joy, and strength.

- Yoga for all levels
