I really enjoyed my time overall. What I liked: - There is a lot of nature around, and there was much to discover. Shops were about a 15-minute walk away. - The room was simply furnished and clean. - The staff, course instructors, and other guests were friendly, warm, and helpful. - Dogs are welcome, and there are also cats living there. - The entire retreat is huge and consists of three large buildings. The signage was good, and otherwise, I could ask for directions. - The shop on-site has nice items, but the opening hours are short. - I thought there were "only" two yoga classes a day. In fact, there is almost continuous programming from 5 a.m. to 9/10 p.m. that can be attended. The range is very broad and exciting! It's rarely something unusual, and even if it is, the offerings are still huge. - The buffet was plentiful and diverse. What I didn't like as much: - My room was very noisy. Still, it was quiet because people were considerate of each other. - The "feeding times" - I know this is part of the concept. I like to have breakfast in the morning; I was initially tired and grumpy on-site. I then bought something for breakfast, and it was okay. - The retreat can't help this; it's probably the esoteric bubble - many, many contrarians. I expected this, but the number surprised me. For some, it might take some getting used to that there is no TV/Wi-Fi in the rooms; I found that very relaxing. I will definitely come back; I really benefited from the time. :)
