Summary

Every morning we walk/stroll for about 1.5 hours. This is followed by a healthy breakfast at 11 a.m. with fruit, oatmeal, nuts, yogurt, and milk. In the afternoon, we do pottery—building techniques and/or using pottery wheels (3 hours).
We eat according to the food pyramid and the 16:8 fasting method. (Special dietary requests can be accommodated.) After dinner, there is still time to relax, e.g., in the sauna. You can also sit together and play games if you wish (game cabinet available).
We offer you the opportunity to realign yourself. Of course, these are all suggestions—no one is forced to participate in everything. On Mondays and Wednesdays, there may be the opportunity to participate in gymnastics and yoga.

sequence

On the day of arrival at 6 p.m., we eat together and learn a few general rules about nutrition and the holiday schedule. In the morning, usually at 9 a.m., we go for a walk (approx. 10,000 steps). The Taunustöpferei is located in the middle of the idyllic Taunus region. We can walk a different route every day, starting from the front door. At 11 a.m., we have breakfast, preferably fruit, nuts, yogurt, and oatmeal. On Wednesdays after breakfast, there is time for excursions in the surrounding area. At 1 p.m., we start pottery for about 3 hours.

Anyone who likes can cook with me. At 6 p.m., we have a hot dinner. Afterwards, you can play games (there is a well-stocked games cupboard) or just sit together and relax.

On Wednesdays, there is free time between meals – time for an excursion, for example. On Sundays before and Saturdays after the trip, there are also some nice places to visit in the surrounding area. A tennis court (2 km away) invites you to play (5 EUR/hour). Rackets etc. are available.

Arrival

On the day of arrival, participants arrive between 5 and 6 p.m. Upon request, pick-up at the train station in Usingen-Wilhelmsdorf is possible.

The vacation was wonderful and really did us good. The walks and occasional exercise in the morning were pleasant and just right (not too much and not too little). The hostess cooked delicious meals and made sure that nothing was missing. You could always ask about the pottery and get advice or help if needed. I was able to realize a lot of projects and "let off steam" creatively. I couldn't have imagined a better retreat and would love to come again in the future. I can only recommend it (for people who like to be creative and hike and appreciate a family atmosphere).

Met great people. Everything was very informal. The course instructor responded to the participants. It was all very relaxed and informal. You could give free rein to your creativity when making pottery. Very good food in the evening. All in all, a great experience.

I had a wonderfully relaxing week. In the morning we did sports (walking, gymnastics, yoga, line dancing) and after breakfast and a short break we did some pottery. In the evening we cooked and ate together and then played games. The hostess is a very nice, patient and kind person. My room with a double bed was functionally furnished and very quiet. The pottery workshop is well equipped, you could choose between different types of clay and there was also plenty of inspiration in the form of books, etc. I arrived by car, so I was able to take a trip into the surrounding area on the free Wednesday afternoon. It would probably have been a bit more complicated with public transport. I am happy to recommend the stay there.
