Slow Down with Qi Gong – The Art of Mindful Living

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 along with spreads served with bread or pastries.

Life often demands a lot from us. Schedules, obligations, and the need to be constantly available mean that our own needs can easily take a back seat. This retreat offers a counterbalance to that. It invites you to consciously slow down and reconnect with what really matters.

The Kleebauer Hof Retreat Center, with its forests, meadows, and sweeping views of the Mühlviertel’s rolling hills, offers a special setting for this. The tranquility of nature, the natural swimming pond, and the vegetarian-vegan cuisine help you step away from your daily routine and open yourself up to new perspectives.
The focus is on qigong, mindfulness, and conscious awareness. Nora Kögl guides you step by step in redirecting your attention away from external demands and back toward yourself. Through flowing movements, breathing exercises, and moments of stillness, a sense of presence and inner stability emerges.

You’ll discover how beneficial it can be to not constantly focus on performance and efficiency. Instead, space opens up to perceive your own needs more clearly, mindfully respect your boundaries, and make decisions with greater awareness. The exercises are simple, suitable for everyday use, and can be easily integrated into your daily life even after the retreat.
