I left the retreat clear and calm exactly what I was hoping for after a weekend at the Ratna Ling Center. The instructors, Chris, Ros, George (and a fourth who was awesome too, but I forgot her name!) were attentive, kind and sincere. I really appreciated the meditation instruction, Ros and George are naturals and I hope they continue on to teach many more classes on Tibet Buddhist meditation techniques. There was also a yoga component to the weekend and I felt Chris did a great job of getting us into our bodies with gentle stretches and movement. The ocean is close enough that one can take a hike...save a little energy for the walk back...it's all uphill.
The environment at Ratna Ling goes a long way to making one feel relaxed and cared for, the cabins are quite spacious and lovely and the food delicious. I highly recommend a stay at Ratna Ling!
