Grace & Gratitude
A Pre-Thanksgiving Weekend Retreat to the Redwoods
November 15-17 2024
Join me and Nat Kendall for a nourishing and spacious weekend of yoga, meditation, chanting and nature time, as we explore how our practice(s) can support us in cultivating grace and gratitude in our everyday lives. Classes will be a mix of soulful vinyasa, slow flow, and restorative yoga, with daily dharma talks, journal prompts, and plenty of time for rest and relaxation. This weekend is all about slowing down, turning in and cultivating deeper states of embodied presence.
Ratna Ling means “land of treasures” and is located on 130 acres along a ridge 900 feet above the sea, shielded by forests of redwood, pine and oak trees. To the east one sees the rolling hills of Sonoma county stretching out for miles. Guided by the Tibetan Buddhist traditions, Ratna Ling aims to share what is best, most beautiful, and most meaningful in this precious human existence, making for the perfect setting to reconnect with oneself through mindfulness, yoga and self-inquiry.
