Summary

✨ Simply BEING – Meditation & Mindfulness in Silence "Meditation is simply about being yourself and gradually becoming clear about who that is." (Jon Kabat-Zinn) This retreat invites you to enter into the experience of silence and presence – beyond roles, expectations, and everyday functioning. In a safe environment, space is created to encounter yourself on a deeper level and explore what is truly essential. 🔍 THE PATH TO AUTHENTIC BEING Through guided meditations and mindfulness exercises from Eastern and Western wisdom traditions, we dive together into the deeper dimensions of being. It is not about performance or insight in the usual sense, but about gently letting go of restrictive concepts and inner patterns that separate us from our true core. The focus is on fundamental human questions that cannot be answered primarily with the mind:
- Who am I – beyond my stories? - What do I really want? - What gives my life meaning and depth? Perhaps the answers do not come in the form of words, but as inner clarity, as silence, or as a subtle knowledge in the body and heart. 📍 A SPECIAL PLACE: ST. BONIFATIUS MONASTERY
St. Bonifatiuskloster offers the ideal setting: a place of contemplation, space, and reconnection—far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Clear external structures help you to find peace and new strength and direction. 👥 WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?
Open to everyone: Suitable for both people with meditation experience and beginners with no previous experience. Prerequisite: A willingness to engage in periods of stillness, silence, and inner exploration. If you have any questions about suitability or the program, I am happy to advise you in advance. 📋 COURSE CONTENT
- Guided meditations & body awareness exercises. - Traditional & modern methods (including contemplation, Zen, MBSR, MBCL). - Impulse lectures to deepen your own practice. - Space for personal clarification and integration of what you have experienced. - Transfer exercises for sustainable life practice in everyday life.

I had quite a lot of experience with mindfulness before the retreat. Renato taught me what I had been looking for: To go deep and not just float on the surface. Thank you once again for a wonderful, experience-rich and heart-opening retreat, dear Renato!

We felt very comfortable at the Bonifatiuskloster, nice rooms, super tasty food and our lecturer was really good! The group was also very special, people who grew on you. I'd love to go again. I'm also looking at this page again for the next time-out. Great site.

The days in Hünfeld were full of experiences. Especially the silence was a gamechanger for me. The silence inside me allowed feelings to come out. It still resonates and has given me a clarity. I am grateful for the time and the experience.
