Summary

A weekend for your inner peace, clarity and self-connectedness.

In this retreat, you will immerse yourself in the world of schema therapy - a psychological method that helps you to understand old patterns and change them step by step. We take a loving look at how, for example, excessive self-criticism, constant functioning or conformity have developed - and what you need today to deal with yourself differently.

With exercises to work with inner parts, imagination journeys, mindful body awareness and reflection phases, you will learn to understand yourself better and develop self-compassion. This creates more inner security and a friendlier way of dealing with yourself - even in challenging moments.

In between, there is time for rest, nature and integration. The Shanti seminar house offers a protected setting for this in a mindful, appreciative atmosphere. In the small group, you can show yourself as you are - without pressure, without demands to perform.

Optionally, you can book an individual psychological session with me during the weekend (limited places).

Accommodation

Haus Shanti is more than just accommodation - it is a quiet retreat that lets you breathe from the very first moment.
Here, everyday life takes a step back and you enter an environment that radiates peace, provides security and gently invites you to slow down.

The rooms are simple, warm and lovingly designed - just right for turning your gaze inwards and following your own pace. There are no distractions, no sensory overload, just a space that belongs to you: for resting, writing, reflecting, being.

Around the house you will find nature trails, trees, open skies and the special silence that immediately softens body and soul.
The seminar room is flooded with light, clear and cozy - a safe place for deep processes, heartfelt conversations and moments of genuine connection.

At Haus Shanti, you feel that you are welcome just as you are.
It is a loving framework that supports you while you dedicate yourself to your inner journey.
A place where you can calm down, find clarity - and perhaps come a little closer to yourself.

There is no traditional breakfast time - instead we start relaxed with a brunch together at 11:00 am. In the evening, there is a warm, balanced dinner every day from 18:00.
