Lighthouse writing - discovering yourself through writing

Lighthouse writing invites you to pause and encounter yourself in a new way. In the midst of pen and paper, a space opens up in which discoveries can be made, thoughts can be organized and personal stories can be explored. This program offers both beginners and experienced writers an opportunity to be creative, build bridges and find answers to life's questions. It is an invitation to bring light into the inner self through writing and to see one's own life landscape with new eyes.

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.

Lighthouse writing means opening the windows and doors to the inside:
to be quietly and completely with myself - accompanied by pen and paper.
Lighthouse writing means discovering and lingering:
unearthing valuable treasures and looking at your own reflections.
Lighthouse writing means creating texts that are bridges and lighthouses for me; that stand for me and are there when I need them.

In the morning, a window to creativity opens: perceptual exercises, small explorations in nature and playful tasks loosen up the mind and body to get your own thoughts moving. The inspiring impulses invite you to discover new ways of writing and let yourself be carried away by fresh impressions.

In the afternoon, there is time for quiet - time to gather your impressions, deepen your thoughts and let your own words flow onto paper. In this silence, texts are created that build bridges and set lighthouses - texts that can accompany and provide orientation in everyday life.

No spelling rules or perfect formulations count here. Rather, the focus is on tracking down the stories of life and capturing the experiences of the moment. The program invites anyone who enjoys writing or who wishes to meet themselves through writing - without any previous knowledge. For writing enthusiasts, it offers an opportunity to further explore and deepen their own writing.

Because at its core is the conviction: We are the authors of our lives. And during these days together, poems and texts are created that allow this creative potential to shine.
