ABOUT RATNA LING...
Ratna Ling Retreat Center is guided by the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, and is open to all people looking to find inner strength and spiritual peace. Ratna Ling is located in the coastal redwoods of Sonoma County, a spectacular 90-mile drive north of San Francisco. Retreats here offer the opportunity to experience beauty and quiet, in elegant private cottages, each with an expansive view of the surrounding countryside, complete with deer, wild turkeys, rabbits and quail.
Situated on 120 acres of beautiful redwoods, Ratna Ling Retreat Center was built for relaxation, quiet time and spiritual practice, away from the demands of modern life.
