Introduction to mindful silence - Mühlviertel

The longing to explore our inner self more deeply and comprehensively is a powerful driving force in our lives. We often start by looking outside ourselves, trying out different things and gathering experiences. We regard this collection of experiences as our personality. But besides this outer layer, there is an inner core of our being, and our desire is to get to know this core better and possibly to love it. At the Kleebauer Hof Retreat Center in Altenfelden in the Mühlviertel region, we invite you to take your first steps inwards and experience an encounter with your true being.

The 800-year-old square farm in a secluded location with a view over the hilly landscape of the Mühlviertel offers the ideal atmosphere for a sustainable break. Try out new things, clear your head and feel the impetus for change. You will find retreat and peace at the natural swimming pond, in the woods and in the vastness of the gently rolling landscape. Enjoy moments of relaxation in the pine-scented sauna and in the evening in a cozy atmosphere around the fire bowl.

Modern, vegetarian-vegan cuisine awaits you at the Kleebauer Hof Retreat Center. Start the day with a feel-good breakfast with breads, jams, cheese, freshly prepared porridge, fruit, various types of milk, yogurt, fruit juices, spreads, coffee and different teas. At 2 pm we serve you a light lunch with a warming soup and spreads with bread or pastries.

Meditation, mindfulness and the powerful tool of silence enable us to get in touch with our innermost being. However, finding this path alone can be challenging - we need guidance and support in order to classify our experiences correctly. Only then can we ensure that we are on the right path to ourselves. On these days, your program leader Bernhard will guide you mindfully, attentively and with loving guidance through your processes and on your journey to introspection.
