Summary

Mindfulness & Alkaline Fasting—Time for Self-Discovery:

A special retreat to pause, step off the wheel of daily life with all its demands, and turn your full attention inward. Fasting and mindfulness combine to create a transformative experience that opens space for new clarity and a more mindful approach to yourself.

Through mindful body awareness, meditation, and deliberate moments of stillness, we learn to reconnect with our bodies, recognize familiar patterns of thought and behavior, and meet our own needs with openness and respect. Mindful moments in nature round out the week.

Alkaline fasting supports and deepens this path of mindful self-discovery on a physical level. This gentle form of fasting, in which solid food is still enjoyed, invites us to break away from habitual eating patterns, relieve the body, and become more aware of what is good for us. A nutrient-rich, alkalizing diet featuring an abundance of vegetables, fruits, herbs, and select plant-based ingredients forms the foundation for this. Our fasting meals, prepared fresh daily with great care, combine mindful eating with creativity, enjoyment, and aesthetic appeal. In this way, even eating becomes an experience of mindfulness—an opportunity to pause, open one’s senses, and engage with oneself and one’s own needs with renewed attention.

Upon request, Buchinger therapeutic fasting can be booked at any time instead of alkaline fasting. This involves consuming liquid foods such as soups, juices, and broths—for a deeper fasting experience.

Nestled in the gentle landscape of the Southern Palatinate, our family-run fasting retreat offers a sheltered setting for retreat and regeneration. The spacious garden with a natural pond, fragrant plants, and quiet spots, our light-filled winter garden, and the wellness area with a Kneipp facility, infrared sauna, and floating loungers invite you to relax and linger. Individually bookable massages and soothing treatments round out the offerings.

A week to focus less on the outside world and more on yourself—to consciously tune into your body, find inner peace, and return to everyday life with new clarity and a more self-aware perspective.

Accommodation

Unser familiär geführtes Fastenlandhaus liegt in der Südpfalz, am Rande eines typisch pfälzischen Weindorfes. Als ärztlich geprüfte Fastenleiterinnen und Fastenleiter begleiten wir ganzjährig ausschließlich fastende Gäste und schaffen einen geschützten Rahmen für Erholung, Regeneration und bewusste Auszeiten.

Auf unserem weitläufigen, 3.300 m² großen Anwesen verbinden sich traditioneller Landhauscharme und moderne Architektur auf ganz besondere Weise. Das Haupthaus im gemütlichen Landhausstil und das 2015 ergänzte Gästehaus mit seiner klaren, zeitgemäßen Gestaltung bilden einen reizvollen Kontrast, der unserem Haus seinen unverwechselbaren Charakter verleiht. Der angrenzende, großzügige Garten lädt zum Verweilen, Durchatmen und Genießen der Natur ein.

Das Herzstück unseres Hauses ist der lichtdurchflutete, vollständig verglaste Wintergarten. Hier servieren wir unsere täglich frisch zubereiteten Fastenmahlzeiten – sowohl beim Buchingerfasten als auch beim Basenfasten. In unserer hauseigenen Küche legen wir besonderen Wert auf saisonale und regionale Zutaten in überwiegend biologischer Qualität. Ein Kamin sorgt in den kühleren Monaten für eine behagliche Atmosphäre. Eine Bibliothek und ein Seminarraum bieten weitere Möglichkeiten für Rückzug, Austausch und Inspiration.

Im Obergeschoss des Haupthauses erwarten unsere Gäste gemütliche Doppelzimmer mit ursprünglichem Landhauscharme.

Das moderne Gästehaus beherbergt im Erdgeschoss einen einladenden Wellnessbereich mit Kneippanlage und Infrarotsauna. Ruhe- und Stilleräume mit Schwebeliegen schaffen Raum für tiefe Entspannung. Ergänzend stehen Behandlungsräume für individuell buchbare Massagen und wohltuende Anwendungen zur Verfügung.

Im Obergeschoss befinden sich komfortable, modern gestaltete Einzelzimmer, die mit ihrer ruhigen Atmosphäre zum Rückzug und Erholen einladen.

Be Well Prepared for Your Fasting Retreat:

Your fasting period begins at home with two days of light eating to help you prepare for the upcoming fast. This mindful preparation is an important part of our fasting program and makes the transition from your usual diet to fasting easier. We’ll provide you with detailed information and suitable recipe suggestions for this time.

You’ll spend days three through nine with us at the Fastenlandhaus Herrenberg. Here, you’ll enjoy our comprehensive fasting program, which is complemented by a variety of sessions on mindfulness, meditation, and body awareness. A special time to leave everyday life behind, pause for a moment, and turn your attention to yourself with fresh focus.

Your fasting period concludes with two recovery days at home. These are just as important as the preparatory days of light eating and support a gentle transition back to everyday life. They offer the opportunity to consolidate new experiences and mindful eating habits. We’ll also provide you with valuable information and selected recipe suggestions for these days.

Program – Your Days with Us:

Every day of our mindfulness week begins with a mindful morning ritual in your room. After waking up, take time to stretch, stretch out, and yawn to your heart’s content. This is followed by tongue scraping, oil pulling, and dry brushing—a mindful way to set the tone for the new day.

Your daily schedule at Fastenlandhaus Herrenberg:

7:20 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. Meditation

8:10 a.m. to 8:40 a.m. Qi Gong

9:00 a.m. Breakfast in the conservatory

10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday: Mindfulness in theory and practice; Tuesday and Thursday: Sensory experiences in nature

1:00 p.m. Lunch in the conservatory

1:30 p.m. Liver wrap in your room, on the sun terrace, or in the relaxation room on the floating loungers

6:00 p.m. Dinner in the conservatory

7:00 p.m. Evening program (mindfulness practice, relaxation, theoretical insights, and workshops)

Time for Yourself—Space for Rest and Regeneration

The afternoons are yours to spend as you wish, offering space to let the day’s experiences sink in or simply to follow your own needs.

Our spacious garden, featuring a natural pond, a barefoot path, fragrant plants, and quiet retreats, invites you to linger, take a deep breath, and experience the moment mindfully. In our on-site wellness area, the Kneipp facility and infrared sauna offer soothing opportunities for relaxation. The floating loungers in our relaxation and quiet rooms provide additional moments of comfort and letting go.

Those who wish to treat themselves further can choose from a variety of massages and soothing treatments, which can be booked directly on-site.

The result is a week in which mindful movement and stillness, guided mindfulness practices, and personal space complement one another—with time to rediscover yourself and find inner peace.
