One of the essential tasks of our lives is to say goodbye—to our childhood, to people, things, places, habits, and our careers, and ultimately to our bodies and our life on Earth as a whole.
Three days of intense connection allow us to experience that it is possible to emerge from separations feeling reconciled and strengthened.
Through letting go, we become free for new experiences, for change, and for growth. We can recognize and intuitively grasp the connections and patterns in our lives. Meditation, sharing, and intuitive touch support this process. Love—the energy of the heart and the essence of life—connects the constant cycle of farewells and new beginnings, endures beyond birth and death, and is an inexhaustible source of strength.

Feedback from course participants:
"I was able to understand and feel deeply that we don’t truly say goodbye to loved ones. They have their place in our hearts forever. In fact, we can only say goodbye to patterns of behavior that create separation. With this certainty, I hope to live my life more easily, with greater inner freedom."
"I was deeply impressed by how much happened over these past few days. I’ve never felt so alive; in fact, I can’t remember ever having felt and sensed so much—and so intensely—as I did this past weekend. More has happened within me than in seven weeks at a rehab clinic—oh, that’s actually an understatement—more than years of arduous therapy sessions. You’ve treated us and yourselves with such honesty, empathy, love, and responsibility; that was a completely new experience for me.”
"The next morning, it was all there again:
the atmosphere of the house, being included in the daily work routine, the good food—which was partly made possible by our help—the morning yoga exercises that helped me overcome my headaches every morning, and then the seminar with you—a wonderful experience that left a lasting impression, not only on me but certainly on everyone who participated. That was surely not just due to the fortuitously good mix of ages, but much more to the gentle prompts and the barely noticeable guidance you provided. I never once felt pressured. The thought processes and my contributions to the discussions came completely naturally. I feel the same way as M.—I have the sense that more has been set in motion in this short time than in the therapies I’ve undergone so far."
