Summary

The BHASKARA – Sound of Silence – RETREAT at the beautiful Kranzbichlhof in Bad Dürrnberg, Salzburg, is an invitation to take some time out and rejuvenate your body, mind, and soul.

At our BHASKARA - Sound of Silence - RETREAT, we provide you with a valuable opportunity to look inward and find peace through our proven, harmonious, and active exercises in meditation, mindfulness, and sound.

In this way, you’ll rediscover your inner serenity; your regeneration and resilience will be strengthened, and you’ll be better equipped to face the challenges of daily life with composure.

We use a variety of sound instruments—including gongs, singing bowls, Ko-Ta-Mo, and many others—that help you reconnect with your own peace and relaxation.

Through sound meditation and mindful exercises, you’ll join us on a journey toward arrival, inner stillness, and loving self-compassion.
This will deepen your awareness of the importance of rest and recharging your inner source of strength.
Give yourself loving attention and sustainably strengthen your zest for life.

Experience soothing relaxation at our BHASKARA – Sound of Silence – RETREAT at the idyllic Kranzbichlhof, enriched by inspiring journeys of imagination and sound that you can experience while sitting or lying down. The program is complemented by gentle movement sequences such as heart chakra meditation and carefully selected body and awareness exercises, including elements from Yin Yoga, accompanied by sound instruments to strengthen your well-being as well as your compassion for yourself and your surroundings.

You will learn how to calm the mind and let go of many thoughts while simultaneously deepening your connection to yourself and your inner grounding.

Join us on a gentle sound journey that supports you with meditative and mindful exercises to find your inner peace.
Take this feeling of relaxation with you into your everyday life and experience greater serenity and renewed vitality as a result.

You will feel a gentle lightness spreading through your body with every breath, creating space for new energy and inner clarity.
In this oasis of mindfulness, you will find a safe space where you can let go of old patterns, burdensome thoughts, and tensions. This allows you to focus entirely on what truly matters and let your soul regenerate.

Together, we will gently guide you on this journey so that you return to your daily life strengthened by renewed self-confidence and serenity.

We are by your side—during the retreat and beyond. If you have any questions or wish to connect, we are here for you.
