🌿 Nature The Geratserhof, nestled between a lake and the Alpine panorama, offers a wonderful, peaceful setting to ground yourself and recharge your batteries. Here, nature is not just a backdrop, but part of the retreat – it holds, nourishes, and reminds you how simple and powerful being can be. 🤍 Space for you
Between program items, there is deliberately time to reflect, rest, and integrate. Sauna, lake, silence, individual treatments, or simply doing nothing—you decide what you need at the moment. 🌸 This retreat is for you if you... want a real break from everyday life want to bring your body, mind, and soul into balance
long for deep connection – with yourself and others are open to new experiences without pressure or expectations want to feel held in a safe, warm space About me: I am Sophie Elser, a physical therapist and osteopath, and I have been accompanying people on their journey to better health, body awareness, and inner balance for many years.
Early on, I began to look beyond the purely physical level and to engage intensively with holistic therapies and spiritual practices. On my own journey, I have been able to learn, heal, and experience a great deal—supported by wonderful people who have accompanied me and continue to accompany me to this day. For this, I feel deep gratitude.
From this heart, the desire arose to pass on my knowledge and experience together with eight other teachers and therapists and to open a space where light, healing, mindfulness, and genuine encounter are possible. We are very much looking forward to seeing you! Warm regards from the Allgäu :)

Arrival

You can easily travel there in your own car or carpool with other participants. We will set up a WhatsApp group with all retreat guests in advance to coordinate travel arrangements. We are also happy to pick you up at a nearby train station.
If you're feeling adventurous, you can take the train to Martinszell or the bus to Waltenhofen or Gerats – and if the weather is good and you don't have much luggage, you can even walk the last bit to the farm. This way, your retreat begins with a conscious, slow-paced journey.
