Summary

"Path of Transformation" is a unique 3-day seminar in which participants live, learn, and cook together with the facilitator, just like in a shared apartment... The price includes lodging, full board (primarily vegetarian and featuring organic foods), seminar facilitation, materials, and sales tax.
The number of participants ranges from 3 to 6, ensuring that each participant has enough time for an individual conversation with the facilitator.
What it’s about:
Step away from everyday life—into a world that can mark the beginning of a deep, gentle transformation of your lifestyle.
The few, carefully selected mindfulness and self-awareness exercises are practiced both in the group and during the retreat and can be easily integrated into daily life.
Our “classrooms” are wherever we happen to be—for example, in the forest, in the garden, or inside the house... The daily tasks that each participant takes on offer a wonderful opportunity to apply what they’ve learned. Mindfulness exercises and self-awareness alternate harmoniously with times when you’re simply allowed to BE—without doing anything.
The program draws on forms of Japanese philosophy and psychology (Morita Therapy, Naikan, and Zen), some of which trace their roots back to millennia-old Asian and Western wisdom (Confucius, Socrates).
By the end of the retreat, you’ll have gained insight into the possibilities for shaping a content, self-determined, and constructive life. You’ll be somewhat more independent of your worries, thoughts, and feelings, and will thus be able to face certain challenges with greater composure.

Catering

In general, we prepare vegetarian meals using mostly fresh, organic ingredients. Herbs picked from nature enhance the dishes and also serve as garnish (depending on the season). If you have any special requests or cannot tolerate certain foods, we’ll be happy to accommodate you. So you’re in good hands with us even if you have gluten and/or lactose intolerances or other allergies.
In this seminar, we’ll cook together, with two people working on each meal.

sequence

After arriving, we’ll meet in the kitchen for a casual dinner together.
Afterward, there will be a brief introduction to the program, and the evening will conclude with a short exercise. First thing the next morning, we’ll begin with a meditation... Mindfulness exercises and self-awareness activities will alternate harmoniously with moments when you’re simply allowed to BE—without doing anything.
By the end of the retreat, you’ll have gained insight into the possibilities for creating a fulfilling, self-determined, and constructive life. You’ll be a little more independent of your fears, thoughts, and feelings, and you’ll have learned tools that you can continue to explore.
To deepen your practice and continue on this path, we plan to offer the 8-day intensive seminar “Path of Transformation” starting in the fall of 2025. If you’re interested in this life-changing seminar, please just send us a quick note.
