Ecstatic Dance & Drumming Workshop in Cologne

The retreat will take place at the Open Sky House—a place of inner transformation for over 20 years. Everyone is warmly welcome in an atmosphere of silence, love, and beauty.

The lovingly renovated 17th-century estate is located directly on the Rhine and invites you to enjoy walks, ferry rides, and moments of tranquility.

Arrival on Saturday evening is possible. Overnight stays in shared rooms cost 20 euros plus meals. Private rooms are also available for booking.

Full board with vegetarian meals. We prioritize organic food, have our own honey from our local beehive, and cook fresh meals every day with a generous helping of love.

Of course, we’re happy to accommodate vegan, lactose-free, and gluten-free dietary preferences as well as any allergies.

This program invites you to experience rhythm, movement, and creative expression in a playful way. Through drumming, ecstatic dance, meditation, and free creativity, you can discover new sides of yourself, let go of your thoughts, and fully be present in the moment. In a supportive atmosphere, space is created for vitality, connection, and authentic self-expression.
