Summary

Experience the transformative power of stillness, ideal for those seeking peace and inner clarity. This retreat is a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in a world of stillness supported by the healing practices of Yin Yoga, meditation, restorative relaxation, nature experience & healthy vegetarian/vegan alkaline diet.

In an age of multimedia communication, information overload, constant availability, deadline pressure and private and professional commitments, our well-being can be affected in very different and individual ways. All too often, our thoughts revolve around the past or the future. Here you have the chance to arrive in the present moment completely with yourself, free from external distractions, disturbances and any expectations. It is an OASIS TIME of retreat to strengthen yourself physically, psychologically and mentally. Discover the healing power of peace and quiet, experience deep relaxation and recuperation, and find your way back to your inner strength and harmony.

The beautiful nature of the Sauerland, which is directly adjacent to the monastery, invites you to take a walk during the breaks to deepen your experience of deceleration, peace and quiet.

What you can expect
The 2.5-day retreat in summer combines methods of mindfulness, regenerative yin yoga, mindful body exercises, MBSR exercises (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction), nature experiences through forest bathing, silent walks and breath walks as well as various meditation techniques. The aim is to facilitate a profound and clarifying mind detox. In a world that is often characterized by noise and constant stimulation, silence allows the brain to take a break and recover from these stresses. This leads to a reduction in cortisol levels and an improvement in general well-being.

Promoting inner peace and balance: Silent sessions allow participants to delve deeper into their inner world. These times of calm and silence allow them to strengthen their inner harmony and come to terms with themselves, which contributes to greater mental clarity and emotional balance. Silence promotes increased mindfulness, which helps to experience the moment more consciously and to detach from negative thought patterns.

A healthy, wholesome, vegan-based diet supports the participants on a mental, emotional and physical level during the retreat.
Her loving and caring nature creates an atmosphere of security that enables participants to embark on their inner journey.

It is a time for YOU. A time to replenish your resources, recharge your batteries and return to your everyday life with renewed strength. We are happy to accompany and support you on this journey.

Sincerely, Peggy Böhmer
from Vivere Vital

Catering

In the morning we are spoiled with a rich alkaline breakfast. At lunchtime and in the evening, we cook fresh, wholesome meals. An alkaline diet is planned for this week to support detoxification and relieve the body. The body can come to rest even faster. An alkaline diet supports a balanced acid-base balance and can therefore automatically support well-being.
A salad bar is available, as well as a wide selection of vegetarian/vegan alternatives. Full board is provided for our group, but is not included in the seminar price. Intolerances can be taken into account (allergies). Please indicate this when making your reservation.
