Fasting & Yoga Retreat in the Lüneburg Heath—Nature, Silence, and a Farm Stay Experience

Willkommen auf dem Davidshof – deinem Ort zum Ankommen, Durchatmen und Loslassen.

Mitten in der idyllischen Lüneburger Heide, im kleinen Ort Großenwede bei Schneverdingen, erwartet dich eine Oase der Ruhe und Natur.
Unsere gemütlichen Zimmer laden zum Ankommen und Erholen ein. Jedes Zimmer verfügt über ein eigenes Badezimmer mit Dusche, kostenfreien Pflegeprodukten und Haartrockner. Kostenloses WLAN sowie Parkplätze stehen dir selbstverständlich ebenfalls zur Verfügung.
Einige Zimmer bieten zusätzlich eine kleine Küchenzeile.

Der weitläufige Garten, die ruhige Umgebung und die Nähe zu Wald und Heide schaffen den perfekten Rahmen, um neue Kraft zu schöpfen. Genieße die Natur, lausche dem Vogelgezwitscher, begegne den Tieren auf dem gegenüberliegenden Lebenshof und lass Körper und Geist zur Ruhe kommen.

Wir freuen uns darauf, dich bei uns willkommen zu heißen!

During the retreat, you’ll receive fasting meals based on the Buchinger method, which support your body while gently relieving it of stress. Instead of full board, you’ll be served light, nutrient-rich liquids that help your body enter a natural cleansing and regeneration process.
These include:
- Freshly squeezed vegetable juices for energy and nutrients
- Warm vegetable broths in the evening for gentle nourishment
- Herbal teas and plenty of water throughout the day
- Personalized guidance and tips on preparing for and carrying out the fast
The meals are designed to optimally support the fasting period, activate the metabolism, and be easily digestible. They form the foundation for inner peace, clarity, and mindful body awareness without interrupting the fasting process.

Your Retreat: Entirely at Your Own Pace
The daily schedule serves as a guide and shows you what a typical retreat day might look like. Depending on the group, the weather, and the participants’ needs, the schedule may change slightly.
Everything is optional—nothing is required.
You decide for yourself at any time what you’d like to participate in. Just tune into your inner self and treat yourself to exactly what feels right for you in that moment. Whether you join in on all the activities, take some time out in between, or simply enjoy nature: everything is perfectly fine.

You also have the option to treat yourself to a soothing massage for an additional fee. The massage takes place right on-site. You don’t have to worry about a thing. If you’d like to take advantage of this offer, you can easily sign up for it during the retreat.

Our hope is that you’ll feel completely at ease, be able to let go, and experience exactly the break you need right now.
