Summary

Are you looking for peace and quiet and a place for inner reflection? Do you never have enough time in your everyday life for meditation, mindfulness exercises, and listening to your inner voice? With us, you can choose your own personal retreat program and finally find yourself again and recharge your batteries so that you can return to your everyday life feeling stronger and full of new inspiration and positive energy.

The retreats take place right here at KULTURGUTLEBEN, our newly founded cultural center, which is located just over an hour from Berlin and is easily accessible by train. Our small boutique hotel has rooms decorated in a very individual style based on literary themes. You won't find spartan, bare hotel rooms here, but rather little surprises when you stay in the Fairy Tale Room, Astrid Lindgren Room, Edgar and Michael Ende Room, Agatha Christie Room, Jane Austen Apartment, or Kangaroo Apartment.

Surrounded by nature reserves, UNESCO World Heritage beech forests, and idyllic lakes, we are happy to share our paradise with all nature lovers, explorers, and those seeking peace and quiet who find their way to us. No matter what nationality, religion, or spiritual group you belong to, all kind people are welcome here. Located in the middle of the Mecklenburg Lake District and surrounded on three sides by wide fields, our property is very popular with wild animals, which can be observed from here—especially by those who have the patience and quietness that such observation requires. Whether you want to listen to the skylark singing, watch the cranes dancing, or observe the deer, these and many other wonderful nature observations can be made from our property almost every day. Long walks in the forest in almost complete silence or a threshold walk are possible here at any time. In the forest, you may encounter all kinds of native wildlife.

Accommodation

Retreats ranging from 2 nights to 4 weeks are available, allowing you to choose what is best for you. Individual retreats are usually very beneficial for finding inner peace, but it is also possible to book a retreat for two (discount available).
In this offer, two nights in a double room with shower room including breakfast cost EUR 360 per person. For one week (6 nights) EUR 850. For a stay of more than 4 nights, we recommend booking one of our apartments. There you will have more opportunities for retreat, as you can also prepare and eat your meals alone if you wish.
Our retreats cost a little more because during your retreat we only accept other retreat guests, if at all, in order to ensure you have the peace and quiet you need. Our other rooms remain empty during this time. If you would like to be the only guests at KULTURGUTLEBEN as an individual or a couple (which we allow for stays of one week or more), the price for this is EUR 1500/2500 per week.

Catering

Retreat guests also have access to the guest kitchen for cooking and eating meals together, the terrace in front of the house, the bar/lounge, and almost the entire 10,000 square meter property with many places to retreat to. Bring your own groceries for meals or go shopping together to cook together. On request and for an additional charge, we will purchase everything on your shopping list in advance.

sequence

Everything is optional – nothing is mandatory: you decide which activities you want to participate in or when you would prefer to retreat to your own space. Normally, other retreat guests will also be on site. Whether you prefer to keep to yourself or seek company during walks, cooking and subsequent meals, or in light or deep conversations with us and the other guests, is entirely up to you.
There is no fixed program, but we do suggest daily activities to retreat guests. Every day, we offer morning and evening group meditations in our park-like garden or, in case of bad weather, in one of our seminar or lounge rooms.
There is also always time for contemplation, meditation, prayer, reading, nature walks, swimming, sauna sessions, night walks, garden tours with lots of planting tips, laying down your personal nine Native American totem animals, one-on-one conversations with Laila or Anders, or gazing at the stunning starry sky on clear nights.
Whether you take advantage of our offerings or find your own rhythm is entirely up to you.

My stay at Kulturgut Leben in January as part of a digital detox retreat was a real turning point for me. For a few days, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in the tranquillity of nature, get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and consciously let go of the constant influence of digital media. However, what makes this place so special is not just the beautiful surroundings and the well thought-out retreat concept - but above all the two hosts: Laila and Anders. Laila cooks with passion, creativity and freshness - every meal was a highlight in itself. Anders, with his calm manner and deep knowledge of media use and self-organization, brings an enormous enrichment to the conversations. I was not only able to switch off, but also learn a lot about myself. I felt welcome and seen here right from the start. If you are looking for a place where relaxation, genuine encounters and personal development go hand in hand - this is the place for you. Thank you for this special time - I will be back!

I was at Kulturgutleben from 25.09.-29.09.2023 and had a very wonderful time! The operators Laila and Anders have welcomed me very warmly. The rooms are lovingly designed, the large garden offers many places to relax and you can not get enough of the many beautiful trees and flowers. For those who like it quiet, the Kulturgutleben is the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
