Do you need some time and space for yourself?
Would you like to treat yourself to some time off and do something good for yourself?
Would you like to experience a mindful time during which you can get closer to yourself and take a deep breath?
Would you like to discover a way to practice self-love sustainably and nurture yourself?
Self-love is often blocked by limiting beliefs such as “I’m not good enough,” “I’m not loved,” or “I’m not important.”
We’ll mindfully track down and become aware of these blockages. Once something enters our consciousness, it can be changed. We’ll practice self-care and free ourselves from emotional baggage.
Developing love for ourselves is a truly revolutionary act, and this revolution is long overdue.
Perhaps the word “love” makes you recoil at first. Too pompous, too simplistic, too overused, and maybe even a bit esoteric.
It’s none of those things.
Discover just how lovable you are.
You’ll actively strengthen your immune system, expand your awareness, and build your resilience.
You can deepen or refresh your meditation practice, and you’re also very welcome if you’ve never meditated before. By the end of this weekend, you’ll have learned how.
We have no religious agenda; instead, we’ll vividly explore within ourselves what has long been out of reach and is waiting to be brought back to life.
You’ll discover for yourself what that means for you.
A mindful retreat awaits you. Each day, you’ll get a little closer to yourself.
The program is varied and deeply nourishing.
Breathing techniques—which you can continue to practice at home—are also part of this seminar.
The seminar’s content isn’t rigidly fixed but arises dynamically from the present moment.
That’s what makes this seminar so special energetically. It’s truly about you—not about learning a concept, but rather about letting go of concepts and experiencing how liberating that is.
Whether you’re single, in a relationship, or longing for a partner… self-love is the foundation for relationships, happiness, success, health, and peace on all levels.
A wonderful seminar for men and women!

Self-Love Seminar May/June 2024
Ingo, IT Specialist
I found the seminar “Living Self-Love—Nourishing Myself!” very informative and well-done, and I can wholeheartedly recommend it.
Martina is very competent, skilled, well-organized, and structured. She has a wealth of expertise, and it’s clear that the topic is very close to her heart and that she is personally deeply committed to meeting each participant where they are and thoughtfully guiding them through the intensive process of self-discovery.
Martina conveys the material—both theoretical and practical—in a very clear and understandable way, and was always happy to address each of our questions and needs, even during breaks or on walks.
She is an open, honest, and empathetic person, and I was personally impressed by the warmth with which Martina guided us through this sometimes challenging weekend. Anyone who wanted to could speak openly about themselves and their situation, but even just listening opened up new perspectives and insights that, at least for me, were very beneficial.
Lisa, 20, from Stuttgart, on the seminar “Living Self-Love—Nourishing Yourself”
Feedback: The seminar didn’t just take me one step further—it took me several steps closer to myself! I realized that I always have to take care of myself first before trying to help others. I’m infinitely grateful for having been able to understand that. I’m just as grateful that I decided to take part in the seminar, because that was an important step. I’m glad I got to meet Martina, because she gave me so much courage—both through what we did and through her words and her mere presence. We spent a lot of time reflecting on ourselves and our well-being; we often sat in silence and meditated, but we also danced, sang, talked, and laughed. It was very varied and simply a wonderful experience that everyone should have at least once. Thank you for the wonderful time!
“Living Self-Love—Nourishing Yourself” Seminar
Dearest Martina, your seminar on self-love did me an incredible amount of good, and I’ve already decided to come back soon. You and the group have really grown on me. I felt safe and supported. I was able to laugh and cry with you all and let go completely. You adapted the exercises and activities wonderfully to the mood of our group. Your voice is soothing and touched me deeply, and the way you connect with the seminar participants is fascinating. With that in mind: I’m grateful to have had this experience and look forward to next time. Thank you so much! All my love, Helena

More testimonials from my participants
Tanja from Nackenheim, “Living Self-Love—Nourishing Yourself” Dearest Martina, I’ve just returned, feeling completely fulfilled and nourished, from a wonderful seminar with you at the Buddhas Weg monastery in the Odenwald. I’ve had the privilege of enjoying time there with you three times in just one year, recharging my strength and joy. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for the loving and luminous way you structured our time there—and for spontaneously fulfilling my wishes ;-)
Andi from Rheinhessen, on the “Living Self-Love—Nourishing Yourself” seminar
Dear Martina, I want to thank you so much for this wonderful weekend seminar at the Buddha’s Way Monastery in the Odenwald. At first, I was skeptical about what to expect. Yes, to some extent, I was also afraid that this might not be the right place for me and my issues. But already on Friday, I was proven wrong, thanks to your wonderful, very mindful, appreciative, and incredibly empathetic way of communicating—both verbally and nonverbally—and how you attuned to each participant in your seminar. What I especially loved was that you never gave the impression of being this incredibly amazing seminar leader—instead, you always felt like one of us, one of the participants. But we were also always able to take you aside briefly when we weren’t feeling well, and you helped us take the next step with incredible sensitivity, empathy, and mindfulness. It was a very special weekend for me, in a wonderful group with truly valuable people and under your wonderful guidance, dear Martina. I’m already looking forward—even without knowing the topic yet—to the next weekend seminar with Martina at the Buddha’s Path Monastery!
Thorsten, 47, from Bönnigheim, on the seminar “Living Self-Love—Nourishing Yourself”
Dear Martina, first of all, I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. For what?
For the rich treasure chest you opened for us
For helping us focus on what’s essential (self-love, awareness, mindfulness)
For the straightforward words and exercises that make it easy to get started.
For the warmth
For the music
For the singing
For so much more...
The course on self-love came at just the right time for me and took place at Buddha’s Weg, a place that perfectly supports looking inward. For me, it felt like a previously unknown dish where, after the first bite, you realize, “Yes, this is exactly how it’s supposed to taste.” I’m very curious to see how “disciplined” I can be in practicing the meditations in my daily life. I always carry the small singing bowl with me—it’s meant to serve as a constant reminder. I’m looking forward to it... Warm regards, Thorsten, 47
The goal of this seminar is to feel love and open your heart to yourself. Isn’t it love and connection that we all long for deep down inside? The treasure chest we’ll open in this seminar is brimming with riches. You’ll come to realize how a scarcity mindset impoverishes you and how, through the power of love, you can attain a sense of abundance and richness.
You don’t need any special prior knowledge, but it helps if you’re open and willing to embrace change.
My seminars are very intensive and can trigger a profound process of transformation. In me, you’ll find a competent and highly experienced seminar leader who is happy to support you in your very personal processes as well. As an MBSR teacher and spiritual teacher, I’ve found my calling in guiding people to themselves.
I look forward to meeting you.
