Accommodation

Das Zentrum: Eine weltbekannte Oase hoch über dem KlippenmeerUnsere Heimat für diese transformative Zeit ist das traditionsreiche, nachhaltig geführte Seminarzentrum Suleyman’s Garden im idyllischen Küstendorf Faralya. Weitab vom Lärm der großen Tourismuszentren und Hotelburgen liegt diese Oase wie ein versteckter Schatz eingebettet in die rauen Klippen der lykischen Küste, wo die Zeit eine andere Bedeutung bekommt. Das Zentrum ist ein weltweit geschätzter Pionierort für Yoga und Bewusstseinsarbeit und bietet den perfekten Rahmen für ein tiefes, erholsames Gefühl von Digital Detox inmitten unberührter Natur.Wohnen im traditionellen Holz-BungalowDu übernachtest in gemütlichen, rustikalen Holz-Bungalows, die sich harmonisch in die terrassenförmig angelegten Gärten des Zentrums einfügen. Umgeben von schattigen Pinien, uralten Olivenbäumen, Weinreben und duftenden Obstplantagen genießt du absolute Ruhe und Privatsphäre. Die gesamte Anlage des Zentrums ist so konzipiert, dass du von den offenen Gemeinschaftsterrassen, dem Restaurant und dem kühlen Pool aus einen atemberaubenden, freien Blick von oben auf das weite, tiefblaue Mittelmeer hast. Es ist der ideale Ort, um am Abend spektakuläre Sonnenuntergänge zu bestaunen.Die Yoga-Plattformen: Zwischen Himmel und MeerGeübt wird auf den wunderschönen, zu den Seiten komplett offenen Outdoor-Yoga-Plattformen des Zentrums, den sogenannten Pagoden. Während deines morgendlichen DAYO (TanzYoga) spürst du die frische Meeresbrise auf der Haut, hörst das sanfte Rauschen der Wellen tief unter dir und blickst bis zum Horizont. Es gibt keinen kraftvolleren Ort auf der Welt, um die Elemente zu spüren, tief durchzuatmen und ganz bei dir selbst anzukommen.Farm-to-Table: Ökologischer Genuss direkt vom FeldEin absolutes Herzstück und Markenzeichen von Suleyman’s Garden ist die Küche. Die All-Inclusive-Verpflegung wird täglich mit viel Liebe aus erntefrischen Bio-Zutaten zubereitet. Der Großteil des Gemüses, der Früchte und der Kräuter wächst direkt auf dem eigenen, ökologisch bewirtschafteten Land des Zentrums. Du schmeckst die Sonne der Türkei in jedem Bissen. Die Küche des Hauses ist traditionell vegetarisch-mediterran, unheimlich aromatisch, leicht bekömmlich und perfekt auf unser Seminarprogramm abgestimmt.Naturerlebnisse direkt ab der HaustürDas Zentrum liegt strategisch perfekt für Entdeckungen in der Natur. Der weltberühmte Fernwanderweg, der Lykische Weg, verläuft direkt am Gelände vorbei. Über kleine, naturbelassene Pfade gelangst du zu versteckten Felsbuchten und unberührten Stränden unterhalb der Klippen, die sich ideal für unsere Kälte-Mentaltrainings eignen.
