Refuel & Recharge: The Quiet of Ratna Ling

Refuel & Recharge: The Quiet of Ratna Ling is a weekend yoga retreat at Ratna Ling Retreat Center in Cazadero, California, led by Master Teacher Bex Urban. It is for anyone who wants to step out of a busy life and return to more stillness through yoga poses and meditation, whether the need is rest, a change of scenery, or a deliberate pause.

Bex Urban is welcomed back to Ratna Ling for this retreat, so the weekend may feel familiar to those who have practiced with her here before.

What to Expect

The weekend is built around two practices held side by side: yoga and meditation. The yoga is a way to practice peace in the body, and the meditation is an intentional pause, a mindful "time out" from the distractions of daily life. The aim is simple and unhurried: to re-initiate yourself into more stillness, rather than to add anything to your to-do list.

Expect a quiet weekend in the redwood country of Sonoma County's coast, where the setting does much of the work. The pace is meant to let you slow down, settle, and leave with a steadier sense of calm.
