6-Day MBSR Mindfulness Course in Mondsee

As a tourist destination, Mondsee offers a wide variety of accommodations. There are options in many different categories, as well as lovely campgrounds. We’d be happy to help you find the right one. It’s best to choose accommodation close to town so that the trip to the ZENraum doesn’t take too long. If you bring a bicycle, you can explore the area around Mondsee during your breaks.

Lunch is an integral part of the course and consists exclusively of Ayurvedic, vegetarian, or vegan dishes.
We are happy to accommodate individual dietary restrictions; please let us know when you register so that we can work together to meet your needs. You will have breakfast at your accommodation, and there are many lovely restaurants in Mondsee to choose from for dinner.
