6-day silent retreat in a monastery - follow your inner call

Finding the essential in simplicity
Follow your inner call - rediscover yourself in silence

Do you know that quiet tugging inside you? That vague feeling of being driven - as if you are constantly searching for something without knowing exactly what it is? Maybe it's time to pause for a moment. Time to meet yourself.

In my 6-day silent retreat in the monastery, I will accompany you on a journey to greater clarity, inner peace and a more conscious way of being. From Tuesday evening to Sunday lunchtime, a protected space awaits you, far away from noise and sensory overload - surrounded by the simplicity of the monastery and carried by the power of silence.

Inspired by the proven MBSR approach, I design these days with mindfulness exercises, meditations, reflections, mindful yoga, body scan, walking meditations and subtle sensory experiences. All of this serves just one goal: to get closer to yourself.

This retreat is intended for people who have already embarked on the path - for example through an MBSR course or a multi-day retreat - and who feel that there is still something they want to discover, understand and let go of.

If you like, during the retreat you will have the opportunity to get even more deeply involved in individual one-to-one coaching - completely focused on your issues, at your own pace.

Treat yourself to this time out. Not because you have to work - but because you deserve to feel yourself again.
The cost of the retreat is € 450 for the seminar leader
plus accommodation with full board for 545,-€

You can be sure to experience a pleasant atmosphere in which you feel comfortable and can concentrate fully on your inner journey. The maximum number of participants is 12, and the retreat can take place with a minimum of 8 participants.

Please note that the registration deadline is 01.07.25. Register today and treat yourself to this valuable time-out for body, mind and soul!
