Mindful Parenting - A Weekend Seminar in and with Nature

Mitten in NRW, im Herzen des Bergischen Landes, liegt das Seminarhaus und Tagungshaus Gut Alte Heide. Ein Ort wie geschaffen für stärkende Begegnungen, kreatives Arbeiten und gemeinsame Erlebnisse in der Natur.

You can look forward to lovingly prepared vegetarian and vegan dishes made with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients.

Parenting is intense.
Beautiful. Challenging.
Sometimes overwhelming.

Often, there’s barely any time to truly pause and reconnect with yourself.

This weekend is your invitation to do just that.

Step away from the daily grind—
this weekend in nature gives you the space to reflect on your parenting from a distance.

You can see where you stand right now, appreciate the journey you’ve taken so far, and gain a clearer sense of what truly matters to you as a mother or father.

From this, a new sense of direction can emerge—for a daily life in which you can walk your own, authentic path with renewed strength.

For us, nature is not just a backdrop, but an important space for experience
and connection.
