BE HERE NOW: SONOMA WEEKEND RETREAT
OCTOBER 25-27, 2024 • RATNA LING RETREAT CENTER • CAZADERO, CA
<< REGISTRATION OPEN >>
Join me in the beautiful redwood forests of Sonoma County for a peaceful weekend of yoga and meditation as we slow down and surrender to the present moment. Gracefully accepting the natural unfolding of our lives guides us to deeper levels of ease and contentment. Through the alchemy of mindful movement, breathwork and contemplation, we expand our capacity to meet the present moment with curiosity and equanimity. We will gather as a community, connecting deeply within, opening to whatever arises. All are welcome.
