On the Road – Storytelling and Writing in Chiemgau

Ziehen Sie sich zurück in das Mountain Retreat Center in der Chiemgauer Bergwelt. Das Retreat Center hat 20 Zimmer mit Ausblick in die beeindruckende Naturlandschaft der Alpen. Da kann es schon passieren, dass man aus dem Nichts ins Staunen kommt. Immer wieder aufs Neue. Jedes unserer Zimmer ist für sich ein Rückzugsort der besonderen Art. Klein, fein, gemütlich.

All meals at the Mountain Retreat Center are vegetarian and vegan. The most important meal of the day—at least according to the Chinese—is breakfast. That’s why we also place special emphasis on a good, healthy breakfast—which always includes warm porridge. For lunch, you’ll enjoy soup, bread, and spreads, and in the evening, you’ll be treated to a delicious buffet featuring salad, creative vegetarian and vegan main courses, and dessert. Everything is freshly prepared and, whenever possible, made with seasonal ingredients. We can accommodate food intolerances with advance notice.

These are the paths of life we have already taken—consciously or unconsciously. This storytelling workshop at the Mountain Retreat Center in Chiemgau invites you to explore your journeys, memories, and dreams and put them into words.

With our feet planted in the Bavarian Alps and our pens on paper, we set out together: memories come to life, landscapes pass by, and new stories emerge. In the process, we combine the art of oral storytelling with creative writing to rediscover the past and share it with others.

The workshop is a space for travelers and dreamers, for exchange and inspiration. No prior experience is necessary—just a desire for words, images, and journeys of the mind.
