Resilience Throughout Life – Strength Begins with Taking a Moment to Pause

Der 800 Jahre alte Vierkanthof in Alleinlage mit Blick über die Hügellandschaft des Mühlviertels bietet die ideale Atmosphäre für eine nachhaltige Auszeit. Neues ausprobieren, den Kopf frei bekommen und Impulse für Veränderung spüren. Rückzug und Ruhe finden Sie am Naturbadeteich, in den Wäldern und in der Weite der sanft-hügeligen Landschaft. Genießen Sie Momente der Entspannung in der nach Zirbenholz duftenden Sauna und abends in gemütlicher Runde rund um die Feuerschale.

At the Kleebauer Hof Retreat Center, you can enjoy modern vegetarian and vegan cuisine. Start your day with a heartwarming breakfast featuring breads, jams, cheese, freshly made porridge, fruit, a variety of milk options, yogurt, fruit juices, spreads, coffee, and a selection of teas. At 2:00 p.m., we serve a light lunch featuring a warming soup as well as spreads with bread or pastries.

Sometimes you need to step back from your daily routine to see things clearly again. This retreat invites you to pause, turn your attention inward, and reconnect with your own inner resources. Nestled in the tranquil natural surroundings of the Mühlviertel, a safe space is created where mindfulness can flourish and a new sense of stability can take root.

The Kleebauer Hof offers the ideal conditions for this. The vastness of the landscape, the surrounding forests and meadows, and the special tranquility of the house help you find peace and gain new perspectives. Opportunities for retreat in nature, the natural swimming pond, and the vegetarian-vegan cuisine all contribute to a thoroughly restorative break.
The focus is on mindfulness, conscious awareness, and building inner resilience. Through guided breathwork sessions, you’ll experience your breath as a powerful anchor that helps you release tension and draw new energy. Meditative nature walks, walking meditations, and moments of stillness in nature foster presence and help sharpen your focus on what truly matters.

A special feature of the retreat is a mindful introduction to cold therapy. Under safe guidance, you can gain your first experiences with ice bathing and discover how courage, self-confidence, and inner peace can grow even in unfamiliar situations. The focus is not on performance, but on consciously engaging with your own thoughts, feelings, and reactions.

Reflection exercises and group discussions invite you to discover personal sources of strength and to question limiting patterns. Step by step, you’ll develop greater confidence in your own ability to face challenges with clarity and composure.

Tanja Wolfsgruber guides the retreat with mindfulness and respect. With her calm demeanor, she creates a space where individual experiences are welcomed and lasting insights for everyday life can emerge.
