Summary

7 days incl. activating yoga in the morning, relaxing yin yoga in the evening, meditations, hikes, fasting meals and much more.

During this retreat, you will be able to do something in the silence of time-honored monastery walls that is otherwise not possible in everyday life: to concentrate on yourself without noise and sensory overload and to find new ways for your personal peace. Experience the silence at Lehnin Monastery as a door opener to a higher quality of life.
We will fast according to the Buchinger method. This means: we voluntarily abstain from solid food and stimulants for a limited period of one week, consume plenty of liquids in the form of delicious fasting soups and freshly squeezed juices with water and tea, carry out regular bowel movements, balance exercise with gentle walks in nature and gentle yoga sessions and rest, and carefully rebuild our diet.

The Buchinger method is recommended if you have the feeling that everything is too much at the moment and you urgently need a "reset". Give up excess for a while - too much food, too much work and too much stress not only put a strain on our bodies, but also on our souls.

In this lovingly and wholeheartedly guided retreat, EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED in the price (accommodation, fasting meals, varied seminar program consisting of yoga, meditation, hikes, mindfulness and reflection exercises in wonderful nature embedded in the Lehnin forest and lake landscape).
