5-Day "Silence Light" Retreat | Dancing Silence: Qi Gong, Zen & Somatics in the Zillertal (April & September)

DER ORT & DAS APPARTEMENT

Dein Zuhause für 5 Tage „Tanzende Stille“ im Zillertal

Geborgenheit & Raum für Einkehr

Unser Zuhause für diese 5 gemeinsamen Tage ist das Appartement Mountain View in Ried im Zillertal. Hier finden wir den idealen Rahmen, um tief in das Retreat einzutauchen – geschützt, gemütlich und fernab vom Alltagslärm.

Spazierwege direkt vor der Tür: In den Pausen laden flache Natur- und Wiesenwege rund um den Talgrund zu achtsamen Gehmeditationen und klärenden Spaziergängen ein.

Lichtdurchfluteter Gruppenraum: Viel Platz, wohlige Holzelemente und eine ruhige Atmosphäre für fließende Qi Gong-Einheiten, Bewegung und Stille.

Wohlfühlen & Ankommen: Großzügige Appartements mit Rückzugsmöglichkeiten, um in den 5 Tagen echte Regeneration zu erfahren.

Außenbereich: Garten für Praxis an der frischen Tiroler Landluft.

NUTRITIOUS MEALS: CONSCIOUS, PLANT-BASED, AND PREPARED WITH LOVE

Good food is an essential part of your recovery. Throughout the retreat, our “kitchen fairy” Tanja will spoil you with culinary delights.

EXCELLENT VEGAN & VEGETARIAN CUISINE: You can look forward to wholesome, nourishing meals prepared with love (breakfast, lunch, and dinner).

BALANCED & EASY TO DIGEST: The meals are perfectly tailored to the rhythm of the retreat—they provide you with gentle energy for your practice, ground your body, and simply taste wonderful.

SPECIAL NEEDS: Of course, we take any food intolerances or special dietary requests into account when preparing meals, so your stomach can feel completely at ease.

PROGRAM & DAILY SCHEDULE: YOUR RHYTHM

Each day follows a harmonious balance of deep inner practice, time for yourself, and nourishing grounding. The “Stille Light” concept (featuring mindful silence and reflection from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m.) provides your nervous system with a reliable foundation.

EXAMPLE OF A TYPICAL DAY:

7:30–8:45 a.m. | Session 1 (Morning) – In Silence: Conscious Awakening: We begin the day in absolute silence with silent meditation, gentle yoga, and balancing breathwork to gently ground ourselves in our bodies.

9:00 – 10:15 a.m. | Breakfast & Break – In silence until 9:45 a.m.: Nourishing Refreshment: A shared, mindful breakfast, during which the first 45 minutes are spent in silence to preserve inner peace.

10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. | Session 2 (Morning): Presence & Energy: An extensive practice featuring flowing Qigong, Tai Chi, meditation, and time for group discussion and questions.

12:30 – 3:30 p.m. | Lunch & Free Time: Me-Time: Vegetarian delights and free time all to yourself—for a walk in nature, a good book, rest, or inner reflection.

3:30 – 5:30 p.m. | Session 3 (Afternoon): Somatic Practice & Relaxation: Deepening Qigong, somatic movement, and meditation to relax the body even more deeply.

6:00 – 7:30 p.m. | Dinner – In Silence: Mindful Enjoyment: A light, nourishing dinner as part of the evening retreat to slowly wind down the day.

8:00 PM – 9:15 PM | Session 4 (Evening) – In Silence: Sound Healing & Deep Rest: Soothing sound journeys and deep relaxation that optimally prepare your nervous system for a deep, restful sleep.

SPECIAL HIGHLIGHT (ON A SELECTED AFTERNOON):

2:00 – 6:00 PM | Afternoon Excursion & Retreat: Instead of the regular afternoon program, we’ll take a mindful excursion into the nature of the Zillertal Mountains. Through walking meditation, fresh mountain air, and a conscious connection to nature, you’ll recharge with fresh energy amidst freedom and open spaces.

GETTING HERE: ARRIVE RELAXED
