Dance Yourself Free – Movement, Joy, and Lightness

Der 800 Jahre alte Vierkanthof in Alleinlage mit Blick über die Hügellandschaft des Mühlviertels bietet die ideale Atmosphäre für eine nachhaltige Auszeit. Neues ausprobieren, den Kopf frei bekommen und Impulse für Veränderung spüren. Rückzug und Ruhe finden Sie am Naturbadeteich, in den Wäldern und in der Weite der sanft-hügeligen Landschaft. Genießen Sie Momente der Entspannung in der nach Zirbenholz duftenden Sauna und abends in gemütlicher Runde rund um die Feuerschale.

At the Kleebauer Hof Retreat Center, you can enjoy modern vegetarian and vegan cuisine. Start your day with a heartwarming breakfast featuring breads, jams, cheese, freshly made porridge, fruit, a variety of milk options, yogurt, fruit juices, spreads, coffee, and a selection of teas. At 2:00 p.m., we serve a light lunch featuring a warming soup along with spreads served with bread or pastries.

When music plays and movement is allowed to unfold without any guidelines, many things fade into the background. This retreat creates space to let go of everyday life, rediscover your own rhythm, and become consciously aware of your body.

The Kleebauer Hof Retreat Center offers a special setting for this. Surrounded by the rolling hills of the Mühlviertel, vast meadows, and forests, there is plenty of space to breathe deeply and let go. The peaceful atmosphere of the retreat center, the nature surrounding the farm, and the vegetarian and vegan cuisine all contribute to a retreat that nourishes both body and mind.

Together with Simone Lier, you’ll explore different approaches to movement. Meditative circle dances foster mindfulness and community, while free-form dance invites you to follow your own impulses and express yourself without judgment. The focus is not on technique or perfection, but on the joy of movement and experiencing the present moment.

The dance sessions are complemented by gentle awareness and relaxation exercises. They help you release tension, become more aware of your body, and cultivate a new sense of lightness. Step by step, your confidence in your own expressiveness and your ability to move freely and naturally grows.
