5-day Christmas ZEN silence course at the end of the year

The turn of the year and the days after Christmas offer a great opportunity to take stock.
What old things can I let go of, how do I welcome in the new year?
What things and patterns can I say goodbye to?
What can I take with me into my new phase of life full of gratitude?
We will guide you through your year in retrospect. In this way, you can take a relaxed look at the things that have been successful and also those that seem unsuccessful. You recognize and experience what clarity is. You use the time of silence to make friends with possible inner burdens and reconcile them. In this way, they create space for change, recovery and strengthening.

We are Marion and Bernhard Hötzel and we each have over 45 years of meditation experience, 20 of which we have been working as meditation teachers.
In our own institute, as well as guest teachers at other institutes and as lecturers for NEURO-Meditation at the TH-Campus Vienna. We have received traditional training in Asia, the USA and Europe and are very familiar with the humanistic psychology of our modern times.

You will be accommodated in the Mondsee guest house. The accommodation is well renovated and yet simple. The house is close to the event room. We will book the room for you. As single rooms are only available in small numbers, it is advisable to book as early as possible. Otherwise the rooms are spacious for 2 people. The costs are 140.- Euro for a double room and 180.- Euro for a single room.

All meals are vegetarian, ayrvedic and vegan. We are also happy to cater for any food restrictions. Simply let us know shortly before the start of the course. This way we can cater to your wishes together. Eating is understood as an exercise in mindfulness and practiced mindfully.
