DIE LICHTUNG – Hiking & Breathwork Retreat in Saxon Switzerland

Three days to find your way back to yourself. To harvest what is ripe and let go of what is ready to fall away.

We’re a small group, nestled between forest and rock, with space for what usually remains hidden in everyday life. We’ll hike through Saxon Switzerland and use breathwork to open a path inward—sometimes calm and grounding, sometimes deeper and more exploratory.

Our invitation: to find a clearing within yourself. A moment when it becomes clearer what has been growing inside you and what you want to take with you.

Breathwork

Breathe consciously. Feel your body. Let go of thoughts.

Breathwork uses the breath as a tool to shift your focus from your mind to your body, release stress, and experience a new sense of presence. Rimbo, your breathwork guide with many years of experience, works with breathing techniques that combine pranayama, freediving, and modern neuroscience.
