Summary

Discover the joy of music, dance, and free movement. During this special week of fasting, rhythm and personal expression come together with mindful moments of stillness. Without set step sequences or pressure to perform, you’re free to follow your own rhythm, try new things, and experience fasting in a vibrant way.

At the family-run Fastenlandhaus Herrenberg in the Southern Palatinate, you’ll find a warm, personal atmosphere, a small, close-knit group, and plenty of space for relaxation. Between dance sessions, our spacious garden and quiet retreats invite you to unwind.

You decide for yourself whether you’d like to experience the dance week with Buchinger-style fasting or alkaline fasting. Our excellent fasting cuisine supports you with freshly prepared, finely balanced fasting soups and selected juices, or with varied, lovingly prepared plant-based dishes.

This makes the week a special blend of the joy of dance, mindful enjoyment, and time for yourself.

Accommodation

Unser familiär geführtes Fastenlandhaus liegt in der Südpfalz, am Rande eines typisch pfälzischen Weindorfes. Als ärztlich geprüfte Fastenleiterinnen und Fastenleiter begleiten wir ganzjährig ausschließlich fastende Gäste und schaffen einen geschützten Rahmen für Erholung, Regeneration und bewusste Auszeiten.

Auf unserem weitläufigen, 3.300 m² großen Anwesen verbinden sich traditioneller Landhauscharme und moderne Architektur auf ganz besondere Weise. Das Haupthaus im gemütlichen Landhausstil und das 2015 ergänzte Gästehaus mit seiner klaren, zeitgemäßen Gestaltung bilden einen reizvollen Kontrast, der unserem Haus seinen unverwechselbaren Charakter verleiht. Der angrenzende, großzügige Garten lädt zum Verweilen, Durchatmen und Genießen der Natur ein.

Das Herzstück unseres Hauses ist der lichtdurchflutete, vollständig verglaste Wintergarten. Hier servieren wir unsere täglich frisch zubereiteten Fastenmahlzeiten – sowohl beim Buchingerfasten als auch beim Basenfasten. In unserer hauseigenen Küche legen wir besonderen Wert auf saisonale und regionale Zutaten in überwiegend biologischer Qualität. Ein Kamin sorgt in den kühleren Monaten für eine behagliche Atmosphäre. Eine Bibliothek und ein Seminarraum bieten weitere Möglichkeiten für Rückzug, Austausch und Inspiration.

Im Obergeschoss des Haupthauses erwarten unsere Gäste gemütliche Doppelzimmer mit ursprünglichem Landhauscharme.

Das moderne Gästehaus beherbergt im Erdgeschoss einen einladenden Wellnessbereich mit Kneippanlage und Infrarotsauna. Ruhe- und Stilleräume mit Schwebeliegen schaffen Raum für tiefe Entspannung. Ergänzend stehen Behandlungsräume für individuell buchbare Massagen und wohltuende Anwendungen zur Verfügung.

Im Obergeschoss befinden sich komfortable, modern gestaltete Einzelzimmer, die mit ihrer ruhigen Atmosphäre zum Rückzug und Erholen einladen.

Catering

Every day, we combine high-quality plant-based ingredients to create varied and surprising fasting meals. All the senses are engaged.
Meals are enjoyed together three times a day in the light-filled conservatory. During the colder months, a freestanding fireplace provides cozy warmth and comfort.

Upon request, you can also book a Buchinger therapeutic fast instead of an alkaline fast at any time. This involves consuming liquid foods such as soups, juices, and broths—for a more profound fasting experience.
The price for the week is reduced accordingly.

Fasting in Rhythm – Dance Yourself Free!

Your fasting period—experience eleven days mindfully:

Our fasting week spans a total of eleven days: two preparation days at home, seven days at the Fastenlandhaus Herrenberg, and two recovery days at home.

You decide for yourself whether you’d like to experience this special dance week with Buchinger-style fasting or alkaline fasting.

Days 1 and 2 – the preparation days at home

With two preparation days at home, you’ll gently prepare for your fasting week. You’ll receive detailed information and selected recipe suggestions to help you with this.

Days 3 through 9 – your dance and fasting week with us at the center:

On Sunday, we’ll welcome you to the Fastenlandhaus Herrenberg.

Three workshops featuring dance, music, and rhythm form the special focus of this week. On two additional days, you’ll explore the vineyards and forests of the Southern Palatinate on guided hikes.

Shared fasting meals, personalized support, and a variety of evening activities provide the framework for each day. In between, there’s plenty of time for rest and relaxation.

Days 10 and 11 – the transition days at home

After your departure on Saturday, you’ll bring your fasting period to a close with two carefully planned recovery days. These allow for a gentle transition back to your usual diet.

You’ll also receive suitable recipe suggestions and helpful information for this phase.
