sequence

Day 1: Arrival & self-care – Welcome tea for a relaxed arrival and first encounters, women's circle as a safe space for sharing, reflecting, and getting to know each other, as well as the theme of the day, "Authenticity & self-care," to encounter your own inner voice. A gentle yoga session relaxes the body and mind, and a meditative dream journey offers a guided journey into peace and security for a restful evening. Day 2: Authenticity, Strength & Freedom – The women's circle delves deeper into the topic of authenticity, with a focus on clear boundaries and self-care. Dynamic Pilates strengthens the core for stability, balance, and inner strength. In the evening, a campfire invites community, stories, laughter, and quiet moments under the starry sky, followed by Ecstatic Dance as free movement without judgment and as an expression of feelings and energy. Day 3: Integration & Connection – The women's circle serves to reflect on and integrate the experiences into everyday life. A grounding yoga session with mindful movements and breathing creates calm and connection to yourself. On a group hike, you can experience nature and enjoy the vastness and silence. The conclusion brings clarity and strength to remain true to your authentic self.

Arrival

If you are coming by car: Schweinheim Monastery is deliberately not signposted in order to ensure that guests can enjoy a peaceful stay and to attract fewer tourists. As the last section of the route to the former monastery is a residents-only road, many navigation devices take this into account and instead guide you through the village of Kirchheim—a somewhat adventurous route. We therefore recommend taking the shorter route; you can find directions in this PDF. Our tip: At the last roundabout, do not head towards Kirchheim, but take the L 210 towards Rheinbach/Altenahr. After 1.6 km, at a speed of 70 km/h and when you see the red and white striped barges, turn right. You will soon see the monastery on the left-hand side in the Klostertal valley.
If you need a taxi from the train station or airport, we recommend Taxi Nikolaus (02251 64100), with whom we have agreed a fixed price of €32.50 (Euskirchen train station) or €150.00 (Cologne/Bonn airport) for our guests. It is advisable to call them in good time as soon as you know your exact arrival time. Please mention this fixed price when booking and before you get in. If you are coming by public transport: From Euskirchen train station, bus 874 goes to Klosterpfad in Euskirchen and takes about 27 minutes. From there, it is a 900-meter walk to Schweinheim Monastery. Alternatively, you can take a taxi from Euskirchen or Rheinbach. Your arrival: When you arrive, please come to the Neue Scheune; your dining room is located at entrance 5. Coffee will be waiting for you there, and someone from the team will be there to welcome you.
