Summary

This retreat is dedicated to one of the most central psychological experiences of all: Mattering - the deep feeling that you are important.
Not because of your performance. Not because of your role. But because you matter as a human being.

In these three days, I will help you get back in touch with your inner value. We will work with elements of schema therapy, mindful embodiment, self-compassion exercises and loving inner dialogues.
You will learn how your self-doubt arises, how old patterns influence your self-worth - and how you can experience yourself as effective, valuable and meaningful again.

This retreat is ideal for you if you often feel

"I'm not enough."

"I give my all - but I still feel invisible."

"Others are important. Not so much me."

"I long for real inner connection."

Together, we create a space in which you feel seen, heard and supported - and experience step by step that your being counts.
You can become soft. Be courageous. Show yourself. And rediscover what makes you you.

Accommodation

Accommodation at Haus Shanti - a place to arrive

Haus Shanti is more than just accommodation - it is a quiet retreat that lets you breathe from the very first moment.
Here, everyday life takes a step back and you enter an environment that radiates peace, provides security and gently invites you to slow down.

The rooms are simple, warm and lovingly designed - just right for turning your gaze inwards and following your own pace. There are no distractions, no sensory overload, just a space that belongs to you: for resting, writing, reflecting, being.

Around the house you will find nature trails, trees, open skies and the special silence that immediately softens body and soul.
The seminar room is flooded with light, clear and cozy - a safe place for deep processes, heartfelt conversations and moments of genuine connection.

At Haus Shanti, you feel that you are welcome just as you are.
It is a loving framework that supports you while you dedicate yourself to your inner journey.
A place where you can calm down, find clarity - and perhaps come a little closer to yourself.

Catering

During the retreat, you will be lovingly catered for with vegetarian, light cuisine.
There is no traditional breakfast time - instead we start relaxed with a brunch together at 11:00 am. In the evening, there is a warm, balanced dinner every day from 18:00.
Tea, water and small snacks are available in between.
The meals are deliberately light, mindful and supportive of inner work, peace and emotional balance.
