Eye Retreat / Eye Yoga & Eye Qigong

During these 4 days, we will embark together on a journey into the fascinating world of vision.

With the best eye exercises from yoga, qigong, traditional Chinese medicine and simple techniques for your subconscious from trance coaching, you will change the way you see and strengthen your sense of sight.

You will learn visualization techniques from modern neuro-research alongside proven millennia-old exercises from Daoist holistic health teachings, from which yoga and qigong later developed.

Shiatsu massage and acupressure for the eyes round off the program and allow your eyes to immerse themselves in deep regeneration processes.

The exercises and techniques you learn in this retreat are easy to integrate into your everyday life and are intended as part of your daily routine if you want to improve your eyesight in the long term.

If you join a gym and train your body there regularly for six months, you will see visible results.

This is exactly how the training of your eyes works. Together we restore their mobility and responsiveness, together with the ability of your brain to process the images and impulses that your eyes transmit into a clear image.

Our eye retreat takes place in the Biolandhaus-Arche, one of the first organic hotels in Austria.
The hotel is a special feature: clay walls, ergonomic interior design, very bright, quiet and friendly with a beautiful wellness garden, sheep, nature and cats.
The unique ambience with a view of the Carinthian Nochberge mountains invites you to relax and a sauna with a quiet wellness room and library, as well as many hiking trails in the surrounding area round off the offer and form a wonderful and secure setting for our seminar.

The following services are included in the half board:

Extensive breakfast buffet
4-course dinner

A varied and healthy start to the day: fresh grain porridge, muesli, fresh fruit and vegetables, fruit salad, fruit juices. Vegan spreads, curd cheese and green spelt spread, soft cheese, Gouda and hard cheese from the loaf for slicing. Rye and spelt bread and wholemeal pastries. Honey and homemade jams. In the evening, guests can enjoy these and other organic dishes: Hokkaido pumpkin cream soup, ginger-lemon-coconut soup, wild herb soup, zucchini soup, broccoli soup. Cherry pea steak, whole rice loaf, cereal pan with hard cheese and roasted vegetables, sweet potato casserole, polenta pizza. Wholefood cake, chocolate mousse.

The menu lists what is in season and growing in the region. For example: asparagus and strawberries in spring. Leafy vegetables and cherries in summer. Pumpkin and apples in the fall. Root vegetables and dried fruit in winter. Exceptions prove the rule. Then things get exotic - with passion fruit and dates at the breakfast buffet or pakoras, Indian vegetable balls wrapped in dough, as a main course

What we can produce ourselves, we make ourselves. Tea from our herbs. Apple juice from our apples. Jams from our berries and fruit. Herbal schnapps. Nut liqueur. And occasionally bread. Or we get it from Lavanttal farmers in the purest rye and spelt quality. The honey varieties come from local organic beekeepers, the dairy products from the Sonnenalm dairy farm in neighboring Klein St. Paul. ibi is written on the vegan spreads and Biogast on the delivery bills of many organic foods. The Bio Austria certification guarantees the organic quality of everything from the breakfast coffee to the "Flucht-Achterl" from the organic Steindl winery in Purbach.

The water comes from the hotel's own springs. Clockwise rotating, tasty, soft, energetic and rich in minerals. The solar system converts solar energy into thermal energy and keeps the water flowing warm. The photovoltaic system generates electricity. Kitchen and tea herbs grow in the organic garden. Currants ripen in the berry garden. Apple, pear and nut trees blossom in the meadows. Wonderful peace, clean air, clear views and plenty of space promote a good rest.
