In the morning, we’re treated to a hearty alkaline breakfast. Lunch and dinner consist of wholesome, freshly cooked meals. An alkaline diet is planned for this week, which supports detoxification and relieves strain on the body. This allows the body to relax even more quickly. An alkaline diet promotes a balanced acid-alkaline balance and can thus naturally enhance your well-being.
A salad bar is available, as well as a wide selection of vegetarian and vegan options. Full board is provided for our group but is not included in the seminar price. Food intolerances (including allergies) can be accommodated. Please specify these when making your reservation.

Room keys will be handed out starting around 3:00 p.m.; the group will meet at 6:00 p.m. for dinner—2–3 tables in the dining room have been reserved for our group. The seminar officially begins at 8:00 p.m. If you won’t be able to arrive until after 6:30 p.m., please let the monastery know in advance so that your room key can be held for you. The seminar ends on the day of departure after lunch, around 1:30 p.m. If you’d like to extend your stay, please make a reservation in advance. Bed linens and towels are provided on site. Feel free to bring your own yoga equipment and blanket—whatever you need for your practice. If you don’t have any equipment with you—whether due to transportation issues or simply because you forgot it—you can rent equipment at the monastery for a small fee. Please let the monastery know as soon as possible so that it can be set out for you in the seminar room.

Traveling by Train:

Direct trains run to Bestwig Station from Kassel/Warburg and Dortmund/Hagen/Schwerte. You can find more information on the Deutsche Bahn website. From there, it’s just a short walk of about 500 meters to the Bergkloster. Walk along the B7 toward Brilon, then turn right across from the Nieder pharmacy and head up the steep path “Am Breberg.” Cross the residential street “Am Knochen,” and after another 30 meters, you’ll find the entrance to the monastery grounds on your left. The walking path is marked with green signs starting from the B7.

Traveling by car:

Coming from Dortmund, follow the A 46 to the Bestwig exit. Then turn left toward Brilon/Winterberg/Bestwig. Follow the B7 almost to the edge of Bestwig. Turn right across from the entrance to the supermarkets (REWE, kik).

Coming from Paderborn/Brilon, continue from Nuttlar toward Meschede/Bestwig. Shortly after entering the town, turn left across from the entrance to the supermarkets (REWE, kik). Follow the signs to Bergkloster or to the Bergkloster Bestwig Vocational College.
