FIVE - A Mindful 5-Day Fast in the Mühlviertel Region

Der 800 Jahre alte Vierkanthof in Alleinlage mit Blick über die Hügellandschaft des Mühlviertels bietet die ideale Atmosphäre für eine nachhaltige Auszeit. Neues ausprobieren, den Kopf frei bekommen und Impulse für Veränderung spüren. Rückzug und Ruhe finden Sie am Naturbadeteich, in den Wäldern und in der Weite der sanft-hügeligen Landschaft. Genießen Sie Momente der Entspannung in der nach Zirbenholz duftenden Sauna und abends in gemütlicher Runde rund um die Feuerschale.

Together with Nora Kögl, you’ll experience a modified therapeutic fast that is deliberately kept light—at about 300 calories per day—making it well-suited even for those new to fasting. The reduced-calorie meals are part of the concept: light, simple, and soothing. They help the body shift into fat metabolism and regenerate.

This 5-day fasting program is designed for people who want to treat themselves to a mindful break—without radical approaches, but with structure, mindfulness, and professional guidance. Together with Nora Kögl, you’ll experience a modified therapeutic fast that is deliberately kept gentle at around 300 calories per day, making it well-suited even for those new to fasting.

The Kleebauer Hof provides the ideal setting for this: a secluded farmstead surrounded by meadows, forests, and rolling hills. The vastness of the landscape, the natural swimming pond, and the tranquil atmosphere help you find peace and turn your focus inward.

The daily rhythm provides structure—and at the same time, space. You begin the morning mindfully in nature, perhaps by walking barefoot in the morning dew or with invigorating Kneipp exercises. Gentle movement sessions such as Qi Gong or light gymnastics get the circulation going before a calm power walk through the surrounding forests follows.

The simplified meals are part of the concept: light, clear, and soothing. They help the body shift into fat metabolism and regenerate. Accompanying lectures provide clear and practical knowledge about fasting, gut and liver health, and hormonal connections.

In the afternoon, opportunities for movement and connection open up: guided hikes, gentle activities, or workshops. In the evening, tranquility sets in—through meditation, reflections, or quiet moments that are allowed to linger.

This retreat is not about “gritting your teeth and pushing through,” but rather a consciously guided process. You’ll develop an awareness of your needs, gain clarity, and take away insights that can be easily integrated into your daily life.

7:15 AM Gentle start in nature (e.g., walking barefoot, Kneipp exercises)
