🕊️New Year's Silence & Meditation Retreat – Deep Connection to the Heart, Peace & Clarity

How about starting the new year in a completely different way for a change? Not with new to-do lists and New Year’s resolutions, but with peace, clarity, and a deeper connection to yourself.

We warmly invite you to join us for three full days of silence, to step away from everyday life and experience the healing power of meditation, simplicity, and inner reflection.

The retreat takes place at the Niederaltaich Monastery in southern Germany, a special place of peace and reflection right on the Danube. Surrounded by nature and a peaceful atmosphere, a space is created where thoughts can quiet down and you can once again become more aware of what is alive within you.

At the heart of the retreat are three full days of mindful silence. Often, it is only in silence that we can truly take a deep breath, see more clearly, let go, and reconnect with ourselves.

You can look forward to a clearly structured program featuring:
- daily guided meditations
- gentle Hatha yoga
- breathing exercises and pranayama
- mindfulness practice
- guided deep relaxation sessions
- time for reflection and journaling
- walks in nature
- space for retreat, rest, and your own inner process

The guided meditations, gentle yoga exercises, and breathwork will help you calm your mind, open your heart, and reconnect more deeply with yourself.

The retreat combines elements of meditation, yoga, Advaita Vedanta, Buddhism, and Western contemplation. The approach is down-to-earth, open, and free from dogma.

It’s not about having to perform or achieve anything. Rather, you’re invited to slow down, let go, and step away from the constant hustle and bustle for a few days. Inspired by various spiritual paths, space is created for you to rediscover yourself and arrive at a place of deep connection.

The turn of the year offers a special opportunity to pause and realign yourself. Instead of diving right back into your daily routine, you can take time to reflect on the past year, listen inward, and approach the new year with greater clarity and awareness.

Perhaps this is exactly the break you’ve been longing for: a conscious pause, a moment of stillness, and a fresh start.

After many retreats and group sessions in Mexico and Bali, as well as two already wonderful retreats at the Niederaltaich Monastery, I’m delighted to open this space once again.

If this way of starting the new year appeals to you, please join us.
