Summary

Emotional clarification · Inner stabilization · Meditation, mindfulness & movement From Friday, July 10 to Sunday, July 12, 2026, a practice-oriented workshop with horses will take place at the Biolandhaus Arche in St. Oswald and at the neighboring Noriker stud farm Gesson.

The workshop combines guided meditations, conscious rest and presence exercises, short hikes in nature, mindful encounters, and spiritual connection with the horses. This combination helps to calm the mind, clear emotional tensions, and regain a stable inner balance.
The interplay of nature, movement, silence, and horses promotes grounding, clarity, and a conscious reconnection with one's own inner alignment. The workshop is profound, calm, and at the same time relieving, and is aimed at people who want to take time for inner order, emotional stabilization, and reorientation.

Contact & registration: Workshop leader: Karin Brunner MA is a trainer and holistic therapist specializing in horse-assisted process and healing work. The basis of her work stems from many years of practice and development in South America. Find your inner balance, clarity, and reorientation through connection with nature and horses!

Accommodation

The location for the ark was chosen deliberately: above the fog zone and with a panoramic view. The round trip with your eyes takes you from Slovenia and Italy via Styria back to Carinthia. The most striking peak is Triglav in the Julian Alps at 2,864 meters. Turning west from the Carnic Alps, the Dobratsch, Gerlitzen, Nockberge, and Niedere Tauern mountains rise up. This view is fantastic, impressive, and calming at the same time. It's understandable that the rooms with panoramic views are among the most popular.

Catering

Carinthia's first organic hotel serves vegetarian dishes made from organic ingredients. According to Dr. M. O. Bruker's nutritional theory, food is alive – with a high content of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, enzymes, and unsaturated fats. One third of the food is raw. The breakfast buffet includes lots of fruit and vegetables. And dinner begins with a large portion of salad. We are also happy to cook vegan or gluten-free meals. The menu features seasonal produce that grows in the region. For example: asparagus and strawberries in spring. Leafy vegetables and cherries in summer. Pumpkin and apples in autumn. Root vegetables and dried fruit in winter. Exceptions prove the rule. Then it gets exotic – with passion fruit and dates at the breakfast buffet or pakoras, Indian vegetable balls in batter, as the main course. Because we like to be a little crazy. And in 1994, we were proudly awarded the Green Toque for our natural cuisine.
