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

My review speaks for itself.

It was worth it for me. A good opportunity to go within and reflect on things in peace. Many thanks to the course leaders, it was well organized and executed.

This retreat was truly magical and crafted with so much heart by Katrin as the leader. It was a journey into one's own heart and should be experienced by everyone. The hall was beautiful and the available facilities were more than sufficient. I particularly appreciated the openness and friendliness of the people in the monastery. The location was wonderful with plenty of green spaces and the two beautiful churches. The Byzantine mass was truly spectacular and the singing was beautiful. Thank you to Katrin, the participants, and the monastery for this unforgettable experience! I will definitely recommend it and surely this was not my last silent retreat at the Kloster Niederalteich. Best regards and many thanks from the heart!

The retreat was a wonderful opportunity to truly find peace, reconnect with myself, and receive valuable insights and spiritual inspirations. It was excellently organized by Katrin, very structured, engaged, and sensitively guided. I can only recommend it! :)

For me, the silent retreat in Niederalteich was very harmonious and profound. Everything fit well: the group, the monastery, and especially the experienced and very caring leadership. Thank you very much for that!!

The silent retreat was excellently prepared by Katrin B. and was clearly structured. It was accompanied empathically and warmly by her. Good energies among the participants as well. Valuable information and tools were conveyed, creating the opportunity for deeper experiences and insights in meditation. The only limitations were regarding the location: it was very cold in the meditation room, and it would have been nice to have a separate area for the meals taken in silence.

The silent retreat was very well organized. The location was suitable. One could take nice walks along the Danube. However, the room where the meditations took place was very cold. There were only two heaters available, which could not provide the necessary temperature. Many found it too cold. I was lucky to sit near a heater. The vegetarian food was good and sufficient. However, it would have been helpful if the labels (I only eat vegetarian) had been indicated for the individual dishes (especially at the New Year's buffet). The retreat leader was very warm and guided us excellently. Thank you very much.

It was a very special, great experience!

So far, everything was good, a competent and authentic retreat leader! The cold in the Salletti room was extremely disturbing! It was only bearable with several layers of winter clothing, blankets, and a hot water bottle, which was hindering during meditation. Even though the catering and rooms were okay, I found the price overall to be very high.
