In a world full of distractions, mindful silence can have a healing effect. This retreat invites you to leave the noise of everyday life behind and turn inward. Under the sensitive guidance of Bernhard Hötzel, you will experience mindful days interspersed with periods of silence, creating space for what truly matters: connecting with yourself.
An introduction to meditation serves as the starting point for this week of mindfulness. Step by step, you will learn to observe your thoughts, name your feelings, and dwell in the present moment. Gentle yoga sessions will help you become aware of your body and ground yourself internally.
Periods of silence allow you to deepen your experiences—without external words, yet deeply connected. In gently guided discussion sessions, Bernhard Hötzel offers guidance and support in making sense of your inner processes.
These days are suitable for anyone longing for a safe space to pause and gain new clarity—regardless of meditation experience or yoga knowledge.
The Son Manera Retreat Finca offers the ideal setting for this: situated on a hill with sweeping views over 77,000 square meters of green space, nestled among palm, olive, and orange trees. An outdoor pool, spa, massage services, and full vegetarian-vegan board thoughtfully round out your retreat.
