POWER of PEACE & inner HARMONY - Soul Yoga, Mind Detox & Hiking - in the monastery (Eifel)

SOUL TIME - SOUL REST - DIGITAL & MENTAL Detox - RELAX - YOGA - HIKING - MEDITATION - TIME FOR YOURSELF - TIME OUT FROM EVERYDAY LIFE in the midst of unspoiled nature, recharge your batteries and regenerate. Surrounded by vastness, idyll and the green of the northern Eifel, the two white towers of the Steinfeld basilica rise behind the wide-open, wrought-iron gate of the monastery gate.

Out of the stress spiral, out of the hamster wheel - into the OFF-TIME. Find balance with joy and ease, pause for a moment, recharge your batteries and arrive at your own center.

In the idyllic monastery grounds, we enjoy an oasis of peace, surrounded by powerful nature, to reflect on ourselves. We take enough time to discover ways to empty our minds and enjoy the calming power of thought fasting.

A retreat from our usual surroundings can help us to find our inner balance and reconnect with our source of strength.

Time and again, we need to take good care of ourselves, allow ourselves a little time out to replenish our energy resources for the demands of daily life. Get out of the stress spiral - a time-out for body, mind & soul with vitalizing, dynamic and relaxing breathing and yoga techniques. Rounded off with mindfulness exercises and mindfulness techniques from the MBSR method, as well as meditation and various relaxation techniques, such as autogenic training and progressive muscle relaxation, yoga nidra, our nervous system and restless mind are guided more and more into tranquillity. A feeling of relaxation and deep inner peace can be experienced.

This mental detox, yoga, hiking week is a time-out and a journey to yourself, inwards. Feel - perceive - observe - simply be.

TIME ONLY FOR YOURSELF! Time out and relaxation for body, mind & soul

Before or after this there is also a TIME OUT at Steinfeld Monastery. You are also welcome to extend this TIME OFF by 2 nights - giving yourself the gift of TIME FOR YOURSELF.

The new guest house at Steinfeld Monastery opened its doors in 2015. The former boarding school has been transformed into 64 rooms of an upscale four-star standard. Only the floor plan and the staircase remind us that students used to live there. The double and single rooms, between 25 m² and 30 m² in size, and the two 48 m² junior suites exude a monastic simplicity combined with contemporary design and comfort.

They are furnished with solid oak floorboards, natural stone in the bathrooms and natural materials for fabrics, covers and blankets. The comfortable box-spring beds are generously sized at 2.10 m in length. Wi-Fi, flat-screen TV, minibar and telescopic reading lamps are standard. Some of the double rooms are also equipped with a sofa bed. In addition, all rooms are barrier-free and three rooms for the disabled have panoramic windows. A glass elevator connects the three floors of the hotel. The rooms are decorated with works of art from the Steinfeld Academy.

However, guests still enjoy the simple, monastic rooms in the baroque wing of the monastery. The cozy single and double rooms are functionally equipped with shower/WC or offer a shared bathroom. The beds in the double rooms are mostly separate. Guests have access to inviting lounges especially for groups or families. Here you can spend the afternoon or evening hours in a relaxed atmosphere.
