Qigong & Kurinuki Retreat at the Monastery – A Creative Getaway in the Odenwald

Accommodation and meals are booked separately and directly through the Buddha's Path Monastery.

The Buddhas Weg Monastery is nestled in the idyllic natural surroundings of the Odenwald. The special atmosphere and powerful energy field of this place create an ideal space to feel lightness and depth in your heart.

Here you can leave everyday life completely behind, recharge your batteries, and unleash your creative energy.

A special highlight at Buddha’s Path is the tea house with its sun terrace and Zen garden—a welcoming place for tranquility and connection, featuring delicious homemade cakes, including gluten-free and vegan options.

In the monastery shop, you can find inspiration in books, incense, malas, gemstones, handmade products, and much more.

The lovingly designed monastery rooms invite you to find peace.

There is something to suit every budget:
From the comfortable Lotus Room as a single or twin room, to cozy standard rooms, to the simple three- and four-bed dormitory rooms, which offer a simple and authentic monastery experience.

Overnight stays in a camper are also possible upon prior request.

Dogs are allowed in certain areas of the monastery.
