Silence and Meditation Retreat: Your Time for Stillness, Heart Connection, and Inner Clarity

Accommodations are booked separately directly through the Niederalteich Monastery. You will receive further information and contact details for room reservations after you register for the retreat.

Accommodations are in single rooms and include full vegetarian board.

The rooms are simple, quiet, and designed to reflect the atmosphere of the monastery. Depending on the category, rooms have either a private bathroom or a shared bathroom on the floor. Towels are provided. Some rooms also offer a beautiful view of the countryside or the monastery grounds.

Many participants find that the simplicity and tranquility of the rooms are a particularly soothing part of the retreat—a conscious retreat far removed from everyday life and constant distractions.

Please book your room directly through the Niederalteich Monastery after registering for the retreat and then let me know briefly so I can add you to the participant list.

As part of the room reservation, vegetarian full board is booked directly through the Niederalteich Monastery.

Meals are freshly prepared by the monastery kitchen and complement the retreat days in a simple, nourishing, and mindful way. Many participants find that sharing meals in silence is a particularly beautiful and relaxing part of the retreat.

We eat our meals together in silence. A separate area in the dining hall is reserved for our group, which has proven very effective during past retreats.

Please note that at times, other guests or seminar groups who are not part of the silent retreat may also be in the dining hall.

If you have any food intolerances or special dietary needs, please check directly with the monastery in advance to see if appropriate accommodations can be made.

Each day follows a gentle, clear rhythm—guided by silence, mindfulness, and presence.

The morning begins in silence with a 60–90-minute guided meditation before breakfast. This is followed by a short spiritual reading or inspirational message to deepen your practice and offer new insights. Afterward, we practice gentle Hatha yoga and mindful movement to connect body and mind and deepen our breath.
After a vegetarian lunch, there is plenty of time for rest, journaling, contemplation, or walks in nature.

In the afternoon, you’ll deepen your practice with another meditation session, followed by half an hour of independent practice. After dinner, we’ll have the daily Q&A session (questions can be submitted in writing). We’ll conclude the day with a meditation on a specific theme or focus.

This peaceful alternation between structure and space lays the foundation for deep regeneration, clarity, and connection with yourself.
