Heart Retreat 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.

At the Kleebauer Hof Retreat Center, you can enjoy modern vegetarian and vegan cuisine. Start your day with a hearty breakfast featuring breads, jams, cheese, freshly made porridge, fruit, a variety of milk options, yogurt, fruit juices, spreads, coffee, and a selection of teas. At 2 p.m., we serve a light lunch featuring a warming soup along with spreads served with bread or pastries.

Sometimes everything seems to be going smoothly on the outside—yet a quiet emptiness remains within. This retreat invites you to tune into that very space. In a safe and supportive environment, you will encounter yourself with fresh awareness and kindness.

Together with your program leader, Carina Ehrnhöfer, you’ll immerse yourself in meditations, creative exercises, and mindful self-exploration. Gentle prompts from emotion-focused coaching will help you recognize your own patterns and develop a more loving way of treating yourself. Step by step, space opens up for greater self-compassion, inner peace, and clarity.

The Kleebauer Hof offers a special setting for this: a secluded courtyard farm, nestled within 230,000 square meters of meadows and forest. You can find retreat at the natural swimming pond, on walks through the woods, or in quiet moments with sweeping views of the rolling landscape.

The days follow a peaceful rhythm: two group sessions each day provide structure and depth, with time in between—for yourself, for nature, or for personal conversations. Perhaps you’ll sit by the fire pit in the evening, let the day wind down, and feel something within you expand.

This retreat is for anyone who wants to reconnect with themselves—regardless of prior experience. It is an invitation to soften your inner dialogue and discover yourself as a safe place.

What you’ll take home
- Anchor more self-compassion in your daily life
- Gain clarity about your heart’s desires
- Develop a gentler inner dialogue
- Tools for mindful self-care
