 This year, the retreat will once again take place at our beloved Badham near Munich. At this secluded, enchanted retreat location, we are completely on our own. This dreamlike piece of land is home to a charming house with single rooms and the legendary MAMA TREE, which takes the breath away from every soul who sees (and climbs) it! Let yourself be enchanted :)

We have everything we need there—and more! There is plenty of space for you and your soul and for all our group activities! Wild nature, places of power, lakes, and forests beckon nearby. 

Catering

High-quality vegan organic whole foods, unlimited drinks, 3 meals per day. Allergies are of course taken into account!

This retreat brings you back. Back to Mother Nature. And thus back to yourself. To your inner child. Back home. In my experience, we need each other. Healing is a non-linear, multi-layered process. We all carry on our shoulders all the traumas and memories from childhood, as well as the experiences, fears, and issues of our ancestors inherited through (scientifically proven!) epigenetics, and the collective traumas and wounds of entire cultures that continue from generation to generation.
I am convinced that true healing happens together. I believe neither in rigid schemata nor in classic patient-client hierarchies, but rather in an experience that connects us all in a very deep way. We are all students and teachers at the same time and ultimately share very similar fears, challenges, and issues in different forms. We ARE one.
By allowing ourselves and others to be who and how we are; by accepting ourselves with all our flaws, idiosyncrasies, and beautifully fragmented soul parts; by observing inner and outer processes and creating and maintaining a space in which we can flow and act freely, without criticism or judgment, openness, surrender, change, and transformation arise.

My understanding and approach to healing is holistic. Instead of relying solely on analytical therapy, which involves only talking, analyzing, and thinking—something we do far too much and quite pathologically in modern Western society anyway—I integrate various—and always varied—holistic approaches into my retreats. I believe in:

*The power of silence *The medicine of yoga, meditation, and breath *The importance of movement *The magic of astrology and many ancient wisdom teachings *The fruits of play *And the key to everything—living in harmony and deep connection with Mother Nature.

During the Coming Back Home Retreat, we experience with our whole being, through practical exercises, ceremonies, and activities, the direct connection between numerous healing medicines and approaches and ourselves and our daily lives—so that at the end of the day, we can open up in a conscious talking circle and finally delve deeply into all the topics that so often get neglected and that we urgently need to talk about—simply because they are important.
Because it is us. Because it is our inner children. I look forward to seeing you! Please note: This is not a wellness retreat, but a profound healing retreat with an extremely high transformative power. The program will be intense and will push us all to our limits at times – but this is the only way to achieve transformation!
It is intended for all those who are serious about working on themselves and are willing to face their shadows – but don't worry – there will also be plenty of lightheartedness and we will laugh, dance, and sing to our hearts' content :) In addition, there will of course be plenty of breaks and many moments of relaxation – including through restorative Yoga Nidra, which brings us into a state of calm and Yin energy. We also work a lot with the deep power of silence. A special focus is on YOGA NIDRA: • Biohacking meets lucid dreaming meets hypnotherapy meets epigenetics meets quantum healing meets high-frequency manifestation • Deep relaxation. Letting go. Dreaming. Realigning with what is to come. Visualization. Receiving. Manifestation. Creative creation. DO YOU WANT TO ANCHOR ALL OF THIS AT A CELLULAR LEVEL SO THAT IT REALLY HAPPENS? With Yoga Nidra, we can—scientifically proven—reprogram our cells at the epigenetic level.

Yoga Nidra is a guided deep meditation that has its origins in the ancient Indian Tantra. Through deep relaxation of body, mind, and soul and the shift of our brain waves to theta waves (the same waves that are activated during hypnosis), we enter a trance-like space between wakefulness and sleep.

This gives us direct access to our subconscious and everything unconscious within us and the astral dimensions of consciousness. By working directly with our subconscious, everything we say to ourselves in this state and everything we hear and experience has an immense, profound, and valuable influence.

An impulse planted in the subconscious is much more likely to unfold in our lives than one given in the waking state! We also learn to better distinguish between different states such as wakefulness, sleep, dozing, and dreaming, and to become more lucid, that is, more conscious and alert, which also helps us to experience more pleasant dreams and nights. In this way, we train ourselves in lucid dreaming and out-of-body experiences (astral travel). Yoga Nidra is a holistic (wholistic) therapy and healing method that has been scientifically researched and proven and is used successfully worldwide for sleep disorders, anxiety patients, nightmares, trauma therapy, and much more. • Reveal to heal!

Elena Judith Fritsch: I am a world traveler with German and Israeli roots.

As a holistic therapist, spiritual guide, and anthropologist, I work in the fields of process work, transpersonal therapy and psychospiritual counseling, astrology and human design, yoga nidra, meditation, silence, nature therapy, ancestral healing, epigenetics and forgiveness work, plant medicine, rituals and ceremonies, kambo, creative and therapeutic writing, and authentic relating.

I hold workshops, seminars, and healing retreats worldwide with a focus on alternative holistic group therapy in Mother Nature, and I also offer individual sessions and personal guidance.

In my work, I fuse mysticism and wisdom from different parts and wisdom teachings of the Earth with down-to-earth spirituality, shamanism, and various approaches from classical psychology and therapy. What I firmly believe in:

- Everything is love or the cry for it - I have been holding retreats for over ten years now and have already accompanied hundreds of people in finding more of themselves, their inner child, and Mother Nature! It would be an honor for me to hold space for you :) Voices of the participants:

Testimonial Inner Child Retreat This retreat opened my eyes to the power of spirituality, consciousness, and love. It was reassuring to know that so many wonderful souls live on Earth. Coming together, even though we come from different walks of life, under the guidance of Elena and Daniel, revealed to me the power of a tribe. I am forever grateful for this experience, as it has left me in a state of blissful remembrance and ongoing transformation. It has awakened a sense of purpose: to feel; and for that I am eternally grateful. It is safe to say that Elena and Daniel have found a new member of their tribe, and I will gladly follow them wherever they go.

- Andrew The Inner Child Retreat helped me a lot to get to know myself better, to listen more closely to my needs, and thus to lead a happier life. I met many new people, we cried and laughed a lot, danced and sang. It was simply unforgettable, and when I think back on that time, it feels like a turning point, like a new beginning, a new era. Since then, my inner child and I have been able to walk hand in hand again <3 I would recommend the retreat to anyone at any time! Thank you so much again. - Melanie

Something big is coming, I will follow my calling and train to become a naturopathic practitioner for psychotherapy. By the way, I also have the inner child retreat to thank for this decision 🙏 I am now following my heart 💕 It's so wonderful that there are people like you and Daniel 🤍
People who have forgotten the language of the heart find the right path again through you, the path that leads to happiness 🙏 – Melanie The retreat helped me immensely. I learned so much about myself during the retreat and afterwards. I was able to release so much positive anger that I would otherwise tend to ignore indifferently. There were fruitful confrontations and discussions with colleagues and superiors. I know that I want to take on more personal responsibility and do more for veganism. During the retreat, I dreamed that I told someone in my life that I love them—even though I've never said that before. So much has happened, it's really amazing! Answers come when we are in nature and when we encounter our inner children, and I am so grateful to you for the weekend! It was so valuable! Warm regards and God's blessings ~ Chris YOU JUST HAVE TO LET YOURSELF GO, THEN SOMETHING MAGICAL HAPPENS! I AM INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL FOR THIS EXPERIENCE. LOOKING AT MY FEARS AND STARTING TO OVERCOME THEM, TRYING NEW THINGS, JUST BEING IN THE HERE AND NOW. I FEEL LIKE I'VE COME HOME TO MYSELF AGAIN, I FEEL LOVE, LIGHTNESS, AND PURE CONFIDENCE IN THE FUTURE. I FEEL STRENGTHENED AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO CONVEY TO OTHERS, INSPIRING AND MOTIVATING THEM TO LOOK DEEPER, TO LOOK MORE CLOSELY AT THEMSELVES AND ALSO TO LOOK AT OTHERS — TRULY, I HAVE LOVE TO GIVE! AS SOON AS THE RIGHT PERSON IS IN FRONT OF ME, I AM READY FOR IT, IF I AM COMPLETELY AT ONE WITH MYSELF AND TAKE CARE OF MYSELF, LIKE I DID ON THE RETREAT. THEN I HAVE ENERGY FOR OTHERS. EVERYTHING COMES IN ITS OWN TIME—I NOW HAVE THE CERTAINTY AGAIN THAT I AM READY FOR IT. THANK YOU!! ~JASMIN

THE RETREAT WAS LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE. ELENA IS AN INCREDIBLY INSPIRING AND WISE SOUL WHO HAS AN UNBELIEVABLE WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE AND IS HAPPY TO PASS IT ON. SHE KNOWS HOW TO TREAT PEOPLE WITH EMPATHY AND SENSITIVITY, WITHOUT JUDGING THEM. SHE ALSO SHARED A LOT OF PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH US AND ANSWERED EVERY QUESTION WITHOUT EXCEPTION, WHICH MAKES HER SO AUTHENTIC AND APPROACHABLE. SHE LIVES EXACTLY WHAT SHE DOES! AND YOU CAN FEEL THAT. SHE ALSO HAS A BEAUTIFUL VOICE. WHEN SHE PLAYS THE GUITAR AND SINGS, YOU CAN TOTALLY FEEL HER VIBE AND HER CONTAGIOUS ENERGY. WE DANCED IN THE SUN, PRACTICED YOGA, MEDITATED, AND CONNECTED WITH MOTHER EARTH. WE ALSO HAD MANY CIRCLES, WHICH WERE SO INDESCRIBABLY PROFUND AND POWERFUL AND GAVE ME SO MUCH.
FURTHERMORE, WE WERE SUCH A WONDERFUL COMMUNITY IN WHICH EVERYONE HAD THEIR PLACE. I AM MORE THAN GRATEFUL THAT I WAS ABLE TO HAVE THIS UNIQUE EXPERIENCE, IT WAS SIMPLY MAGICAL!
I CAN RECOMMEND ELENA'S RETREATS FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO DEEPLY DEDICATE THEMSELVES TO THEIR ISSUES WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF A CONNECTED TRIBE AND, ABOVE ALL, WANT TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THEIR FEELINGS! ~ TAMARA

I attended the Elements of Life Retreat in India with Elena and Daniel. We had a magical time there, and I still draw strength from those days today. Elena and Daniel form an unbeatable team; together, they ensured that we had an unforgettable time, both physically and emotionally. It was a warm and welcoming environment where everyone was accepted for who they are and could open up to the whole group with their own worries, fears, and desires. We laughed and cried together and ultimately grew together. I would participate again anytime! ~Lea

I AM GRATEFUL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR THIS EXPERIENCE. FOR ME, THE RETREAT WAS A SPACE FULL OF HEALING, DEPTH, AND HONEST ENCOUNTERS, SUPPORTED BY ELENA'S INTUITIVE WISDOM AND LOVING PRESENCE.

WITH HER AUTHENTIC NATURE, ELENA CREATES A SAFE, NOURISHING SPACE WHERE EVERY WOMAN IS INVITED TO REDISCOVER HERSELF. HER RITUALS, HER VOICE, AND HER EYE FOR THE ESSENTIAL TOUCH THE SOUL. NOT ONLY WAS I ABLE TO CAPTURE WONDERFUL MOMENTS WITH MY CAMERA, BUT I ALSO BECAME PART OF A MOVEMENT THAT CELEBRATES HUMANITY—WILD, SOFT, TRUE.

THE CONNECTION WITH NATURE, THE COMMUNAL SINGING, THE SHARING IN THE CIRCLE – ALL OF THIS INSPIRED AND STRENGTHENED ME. I'M LEAVING WITH AN OPEN HEART, DEEPLY CONNECTED TO WONDERFUL PEOPLE, NEW INSPIRATION, AND A DASH OF STARDUST IN MY LUGGAGE.

DEAR ELENA, THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION, YOUR COURAGE, AND YOUR MAGIC. YOU HAVE CREATED SOMETHING UNIQUE – AND I AM ALREADY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT JOURNEY WITH YOU. ~ SWANTJE

THE RETREAT REALLY GAVE ME A LOT – IN A VERY SHORT TIME, I WAS ABLE TO LOOK DEEP INTO MYSELF, REFLECT A LOT AND EXPERIENCE SOME VERY TOUCHING MOMENTS. THE SURROUNDINGS WERE BEAUTIFUL, THE SILENCE HEALING, AND THE MEDITATIONS, YOGA NIDRA, AND BREATHWORK WERE PROFUND AND VERY WELL GUIDED. THE GROUP WAS PLEASANT AND APPRECIATIVE, AND I FELT SEEN AND SUPPORTED IN MANY WAYS.

WHAT IMPRESSED ME PARTICULARLY WAS YOU AS A PERSON: YOU RADIATE AUTHENTICITY AND PRESENCE, HAVE A SPECIAL ENERGY, AND PUT AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF HEART INTO YOUR WORK. YOU CAN FEEL THAT THIS IS NOT JUST A "PROGRAM," BUT GENUINE COMMITMENT AND DEPTH. YOU ARE AN IMPRESSIVE WOMAN WITH A SPECIAL GIFT FOR GUIDING PEOPLE. I WISH YOU CONTINUED STRENGTH AND JOY ON YOUR JOURNEY. WITH MUCH LOVE ~ LEONIE THE RETREAT IN THE BLACK FOREST WITH ELENA WAS A DEEPLY TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCE FOR ME. WE SPENT THE NIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRYSIDE, WITH A GENTLY BUBBLING STREAM FLOWING BETWEEN OUR SLEEPING PLACES. THIS SETTING ALONE BROUGHT SO MUCH PEACE AND GROUNDING.
WE MEDITATED, DANCED, DID YOGA, AND CELEBRATED POWERFUL RITUALS TOGETHER. FEELING SO MUCH CONNECTION, TRUST, AND FEMININE POWER IN ONE SPACE WAS INDESCRIBABLY BEAUTIFUL.
I CONNECTED WITH WONDERFUL WOMEN OF ALL AGES. EVERY ENCOUNTER WAS SPECIAL AND HEALING IN ITS OWN WAY.
THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND, I FELT DEEPLY CONNECTED TO NATURE—TO THE TREES, THE WATER, THE WIND. MOTHER NATURE CARRIED ME AND GAVE ME SO MUCH STRENGTH.
I AM INFINITELY GRATEFUL FOR THIS EXPERIENCE. IT WAS MAGICAL, HEALING, AND STRENGTHENING. THANK YOU, DEAR ELENA, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, FOR THIS SACRED SPACE.✨ YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME AND OPENED THE DOOR TO ANOTHER LEVEL!
I WILL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL TO YOU FOR THIS. I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST & MUCH LOVE FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! YOU ARE TRULY AN ENRICHMENT TO US WOMEN! ~ ANNETTA

ELENA IS A WONDERFUL, WARM-HEARTED PERSON WHO, WITH HER WARM AND CALM CHARISMA, CREATES A SAFE SPACE WHERE YOU CAN FIND PEACE AND COME TO YOURSELF. THE INNER CHILD RETREAT HAS HELPED ME A LOT TO SEE MANY THINGS AND, ABOVE ALL, TO SEE MYSELF IN A NEW, MORE POSITIVE AND UNDERSTANDING LIGHT. I NOW SEE MANY THINGS MUCH MORE CLEARLY AND HAVE DISCOVERED MANY NEW STRENGTHS AND TALENTS WITHIN MYSELF.
THE ENERGY OF THE GROUP WAS INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL, AND ALTHOUGH I USUALLY FIND IT DIFFICULT TO REALLY OPEN UP TO OTHERS, IT WAS EASY FOR ME HERE AND I EXPERIENCED HOW LIBERATING IT CAN BE AND HOW LOVING AND ENCOURAGING THIS COMMUNITY, AND ABOVE ALL ELENA, HELPED ME TO FIND MYSELF AND TO SEE AND LIVE MY STRENGTHS.
EMOTIONALLY, A LOT HAS CHANGED FOR ME, BUT ASIDE FROM THE STIRRING MOMENTS IN WHICH WE WERE ABLE TO DEAL WITH OUR OWN ISSUES IN PEACE WITH THE HELP OF THE QUESTIONS ELENA GAVE US EVERY DAY, THERE WAS ALSO A LOT OF JOY, LIGHTNESS AND LAUGHTER WHILE DANCING, SINGING, CLIMBING AND BEING TOGETHER. ELENA CREATED A WONDERFUL BALANCE AND, WITH HER BEAUTIFUL VOICE, REKINDLED MY LOVE OF MUSIC. I could feel how much she loves what she does and how much she lives it herself. I am already looking forward to the next retreat with her and can only recommend her from the bottom of my heart. ~ KIRSTIN

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BEAUTIFUL BLACK FOREST, ELENA HAS CREATED A SPACE WHERE DIFFERENT PEOPLE CAN MEET, CONNECT, AND HEAL TOGETHER. WE LAUGHED, CRIED, SANG, AND SAT IN SILENCE TOGETHER, ACCEPTING EACH OTHER JUST AS WE ARE. WE SHARED STORIES, RECOGNIZED OURSELVES IN OTHERS, AND SUPPORTED EACH OTHER. EACH INDIVIDUAL BROUGHT AND SHARED THEIR OWN WISDOM, AND IT WAS WONDERFUL TO BE A PART OF IT. ELENA GUIDED US THROUGH HER RITUALS, WORKSHOPS, YOGA, JOURNALING, AND MAGIC, ALLOWING US TO FULLY UNFOLD. THANK YOU, AHEY ~ Nimsaj

THANK YOU FOR THIS EXPERIENCE! THANK YOU FOR THE NEW FRIENDS! THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL, MAGICAL SETTING!
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO GET TO KNOW AND LOVE MYSELF BETTER AGAIN! AND THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME HOW BEAUTIFUL I AM—ESPECIALLY MY SOUL! ~ JASMIN
