Inner Peace Through Qi Gong & Meditation

Ziehen Sie sich zurück in das Mountain Retreat Center in der Chiemgauer Bergwelt. Das Retreat Center hat 20 Zimmer mit Ausblick in die beeindruckende Naturlandschaft der Alpen. Da kann es schon passieren, dass man aus dem Nichts ins Staunen kommt. Immer wieder aufs Neue. Jedes unserer Zimmer ist für sich ein Rückzugsort der besonderen Art. Klein, fein, gemütlich.

All meals at the Mountain Retreat Center are vegetarian and vegan. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day—at least according to the Chinese. That’s why we also place special emphasis on a good, healthy breakfast—always featuring warm porridge. For lunch, you’ll enjoy soup, bread, and spreads, and in the evening, you’ll be treated to a delicious buffet featuring salad, creative vegetarian and vegan main courses, and dessert. Everything is freshly prepared and, whenever possible, made with seasonal ingredients. We can accommodate food intolerances with advance notice.

Melissa Salinas Rannenberg will guide you through these days of mindful slowing down with her clear, calm presence. The combination of qigong and meditation helps to quiet the mind’s chatter and cultivate new energy—gently and naturally.

Qigong is a millennia-old Chinese practice that harmonizes the body’s energy flow through slow, flowing movements. You’ll start the day with mindful Qi Gong exercises that bring your body, mind, and breath into harmony. In the afternoon, guided meditations await you, helping you relax more deeply, turn your gaze inward, and develop serenity. Sessions on breath awareness and mindfulness in daily life are also incorporated into the program.

The retreat is suitable for beginners as well as for those with prior experience. It is not about performance, but about presence. The schedule is intentionally kept minimal—time for walks in nature, silence, reading, or simply being is part of the experience. The surroundings of the Mountain Retreat Center, with a view of the Zahmer Kaiser and nestled in the peaceful landscape of the Chiemgau region, enhance the effect of the practice.

Program details: Begins on the day of arrival at 4:00 PM with a gentle Qi Gong session; ends on the day of departure after breakfast. On full days, there are two sessions each: Qi Gong in the morning (2 hours), meditation & mindfulness in the afternoon (2 hours).

What you’ll take away from this retreat:
- Greater serenity and inner peace for everyday life
- Simple Qi Gong exercises for home
- New inspiration for mindfulness and self-care
- Enhanced body awareness and more energy
