Paths to Serenity – Yoga, Nature Experiences, and Meditation 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.

We have a natural need for peace and stillness, and we each have our own strategies for fulfilling this need in our daily lives. This retreat offers an introduction to the practice of meditation, which is designed to cultivate compassion for all beings and insight into the true nature of all phenomena.

Whether on a meditation cushion, a yoga mat, or while walking in nature, our busy minds can calm down and find focus. One period of the day will be spent in silence to support this process. We can share our experiences with one another, and selected texts will serve as a source of inspiration. The meditation instructions guide our minds ever deeper into stillness. The exercises on the yoga mat have a balancing effect, and specific exercises for hip opening and the spine make sitting on the cushion easier. Breathing exercises infuse us with vitality and train our attention to the subtle details of the breath. Walking in nature is a refreshing form of meditation that connects us with the elements.
