SILENCE WEEKEND in the Black Forest - 3 days of silence with yoga nidra, nature therapy, yoga & writing

I am whole in silence.
"Open your mouth only if what you are going to say is more beautiful than silence. " - Minna So
A weekend in silence. If you listen carefully, you can hear her. She is calling you.
Once again we invite you into the transformative power of the one universal language.

From May 30 - June 1, 2025

in the beautiful and magical Black Forest, my home ♥

In our hectic and noisy world, we have almost completely lost access to this precious gift of depth and truth.

Come with us on a journey back to nature. To yourself. To your inner voice.
You already know all the answers.
You just have to remember.

Come with us on a journey back to nature. To yourself. To your inner voice.
Right now, in these transformative, reorganizing and extremely challenging times, we are invited to turn our gaze inwards and reflect - to give the transformation that is happening within us and through us the space it needs and deserves.

All the new things we have learned and experienced in recent months, all the fear, all the uncertainty, all the miracles, all the new space that has opened up - all of this can be INTEGRATED.
This is never as possible as IN THE SILENCE.
We will live in harmony with Mother Nature, as the Tribe we have always been.
We work intensively with yoga nidra, astral travel and lucid dreaming.

Together with you we want to experience:
- Conscious silence in the group
- Yoga Nidra and astral travel
- Awareness of and for Mother Earth
- Various guided meditations
- Being alone in silence
- Nature therapy / walking in silence
-Medicine Walk
-Creative and therapeutic writing
-Earth ceremonies
-Dancing
-Hatha Yoga
-Sound Healing
- Holotropic Breathing
-Authentic & conscious relating
-Psychospiritual counseling and guidance even after the retreat
and much much more !

There is also good healthy food and cozy places to sleep ♥

The participants sleep in a beautiful, cozy sacred gemetry dome with a wooden floor, wood stove and comfortable mattresses.

Alternatively, you can spend the night in your own tent.

Vegan and vegetarian, healthy and regional, three wholesome balanced meals per day, tea, coffee, water etc.

We will live in harmony with Mother Nature, as the tribe we have always been.
We work intensively with Yoga Nidra, astral travel and lucid dreaming.
Yoga Nidra is a guided deep meditation that has its origins in the millennia-old Indian Tantra.
Through a deep relaxation of body, mind and soul and the change of our brain waves to theta waves (the same waves that are activated during hypnosis), we enter a trance-like space between wakefulness and sleep.
This gives us direct access to our subconscious and all the unconscious within us and the astral dimensions of consciousness.
By working directly with our subconscious, everything we say to ourselves in this state and everything we hear and experience has an immense, deep and valuable influence.
An impulse planted in the subconscious can unfold in our lives much sooner than one given in the waking state!
We also learn to distinguish better between different states such as waking, sleeping, dozing and dreaming and to become more lucid, i.e. more conscious and awake, which also helps us to experience more pleasant dreams and nights. In this way, we train lucid dreaming and out-of-body experiences (astral travel)
Yoga Nidra is a holistic therapy and healing method that has been scientifically researched and proven and is used successfully worldwide for sleep disorders, anxiety patients, nightmares, in trauma therapy and much more.
We would like to experience this together with you:
- Conscious silence in the group
- Yoga Nidra and astral travel
- Awareness of and for Mother Earth
- Various guided meditations
- Being alone in silence
- Nature therapy / walking in silence
-Medicine Walk
-Creative and therapeutic writing
-Earth ceremonies
-Dancing
-Hatha Yoga
-Sound Healing
-Authentic & conscious relating
-Psychospiritual counseling and guidance even after the retreat

This weekend is perfect for people who are thinking about a Vipassana meditation or another long silent retreat and would like to get a taste of the wonderfully fragrant silence 🙂
As with all our retreats, we will offer an intensive program - just without you speaking 🙂

There will be plenty of breaks and times for relaxation and retreat.

There is only one universal language - silence !
Do you feel called?

We only have a few places left as we work with extremely small groups to really get to know you in depth.
Our previous retreats have exceeded all our wishes and expectations and were simply magical and balm for the soul.
We are happy to put you in touch with former participants so that you can ask them anything you want. ✨
Come and become part of the Tribe!
🌲See you soon in the forest 🌲

Voices of the participants:
The silence weekend in the Black Forest in June 2018 was a very special experience.
The silence allowed me to become very focused. Thanks to the loving guidance of Elena and Daniel, I pleasantly didn't get lost in my thoughts.
The combination of yoga asanas, meditation and yoga nidra provided a wonderful foundation. Elena guided us through the exercises very professionally and clearly. She also has a wonderful voice.
The weekend was very stimulating and set a lot of things in motion for me.

The place where the silence weekend took place was extremely suitable and fantastically beautiful. I also really enjoyed your introduction and the short group session before the silence. The silence was very unusual at first and unexpectedly loud with so many things on my mind that you tend to switch off in everyday life. However, this was an incredibly good help in becoming aware of things in my life. I found the yoga sessions great and very invigorating to start the day. I had a little difficulty with translucent dreaming, but maybe I should do that more often to let go completely. I found you very strong and inspiring as a team and as a couple. You did everything with great effort and in harmony. What I remember most is the feeling I had at the end. I felt very liberated and happy and listened to the song you woke us up with for a long time afterwards. All in all, I thought it was very harmonious and triggered a lot of positive feelings in me. It was simply a great and special experience.

The silent retreat with Elena and Daniel was a healing and wonderful experience. The place was absolutely magical and the loving and authentic nature of the two was enchanting, I felt very supported.
Going into silence did me so much good and wasn't difficult at all, even though I usually like to use a lot of words.
The inner voices are already loud enough, but in deep connection with Pachamama they became quieter from day to day. I can only recommend everyone to take this experience with them and get in touch with themselves and their soul a little more deeply.

I am happy to help you get there!
