Summary

A contemplative workshop—not just to wrap up the year.... Find peace in the beautiful setting of our healing retreat in the Vulkaneifel... Let the words flow without censoring ourselves.... Play with language... Finding our own voice... Feeling the joy of writing...

Come then, heart, bid farewell and be well! (Hesse, 1941)

Just as every flower withers and every youth
Gives way to old age, so too does every stage of life bloom,
So too does every wisdom and every virtue bloom
In its own time and cannot last forever...

Inspired by Hermann Hesse, we explore our own personal stages. We listen within ourselves, feel our way cautiously, and let words melt on our tongues. Through free writing, we then try to bring these sensations to life.

This program is offered both in one-on-one sessions and in small groups of up to 6 people and lasts 15 hours.

Those who wish to engage more deeply with the themes of their life stages and perhaps work through one or two specific issues may consider combining this program with the “Seelenputz” retreat. The two retreats take place in the same week and can be booked as a combo package with a corresponding discount.

Accommodation

My clients usually find their own accommodations in the surrounding area. This is simply because everyone has different preferences. Some prefer their own apartment, while others might just want a simple room. Both options are available in the immediate vicinity.

But perhaps you’d prefer a complete package for your retreat? We also have guest rooms at our healing retreat. If they’re available, you’re welcome to stay with us. The guest rooms are located in the adjacent building. They have their own entrance and access to the garden. You’ll share the kitchen and bathroom with your roommates. Please feel free to talk to me about this.

Catering

Meals are not included, as everyone’s needs vary greatly. You decide for yourself what’s best for you. Generally, you can prepare your own meals at your accommodations—either you have your own kitchen or at least a place to cook, or there are options that include breakfast or even an on-site restaurant. In Daun, there are large supermarkets, bars, and restaurants.
