Summary

"A Deep and Meaningful Break" is a unique 8-day seminar (7 nights) in which participants live, learn, and cook together with the facilitator, just like in a shared apartment... The price includes lodging, full board (primarily vegetarian and featuring organic food and beverages), seminar instruction, materials, and a guest pass.
The maximum number of participants is 6, ensuring that each participant has enough time for a daily, one-on-one conversation with the facilitator.
Your cell phone and/or laptop should remain out of sight and silent during the seminar, but may be used during “free time.”
What it’s all about:
Step away from everyday life—and into a world that can mark the beginning of a new, more relaxed life through a realignment of your own habits, views, and thought patterns.
The exercises offered (mindfulness, relaxation, acceptance...) are practiced both in the group and in private, and can be easily integrated into daily life after the course.
The forest, garden, and house serve as our practice spaces. The daily tasks that each participant takes on serve as a practical application of the theory and can be understood as hands-on learning experiences. They alternate with periods during which you are simply allowed to BE—without doing anything.
The course explores forms of Japanese philosophy and psychology (Morita Therapy, Naikan, and Zen), some of which trace their roots back to millennia-old Asian and Western wisdom (Confucius, Socrates).
By the end of the week, you will have a roadmap for how to shape a contented, self-determined, and constructive life. You will be less influenced by your fears, thoughts, and feelings, and will thus be able to face certain challenges with greater composure.
We expressly note that our seminar is not a substitute for therapy, but can certainly complement it.

Catering

In general, we prepare vegetarian meals using mostly fresh, organic ingredients. Herbs picked from nature enhance the dishes and also serve as garnish (depending on the season). If you have any special requests or cannot tolerate certain foods, we’ll be happy to accommodate you. So you’re in good hands with us even if you have gluten and/or lactose intolerances or other allergies.
In this workshop, we’ll cook together in pairs, with two people preparing each meal.

The general daily schedule is as follows:
- Morning: group meditation and physical exercises, followed by breakfast (for those who wish)
