I offer a silent retreat without a program or group dynamics—a safe space to be yourself and express yourself with what is. My concept is an alternative to rigidly structured retreats with therapeutic methods and group dynamic processes. You yourself are the program—apart from mealtimes. You remain silent. You feel. You live from moment to moment. You give yourself space. You allow yourself to perceive everything that is and to leave it as it is. That is the essence. You are with yourself, within yourself, in silence. You can express yourself creatively for a maximum of 2 hours per day, through writing, painting, or dancing – if you feel like it. You don't have to perform, prove anything to anyone, or fit into a group setting. No prior knowledge, beliefs, theoretical knowledge, or therapeutic experience is required to participate in the silent retreat—just the courage to be honest, patience, compassion, and the willingness to really look and open yourself up to what is.
The most important facts in a nutshell:
4 nights in a single room with full board
Individual consultations lasting 60 minutes each on the day of arrival and departure
Organization, support, and assistance
Free phone call possible before the retreat begins
