Smile with your heart

How does real joy arise - and how can we nurture it? In this retreat, you will discover simple yet effective ways to anchor gratitude and serenity within yourself. Through Qi Gong, breathing exercises, guided meditations and visualization work, you will strengthen your inner balance. The practice of "smiling from the heart" forms the common thread - a beneficial key to more lightness in everyday life.

The 800-year-old square farm in a secluded location with a view over the hilly landscape of the Mühlviertel offers the ideal atmosphere for a sustainable break. Try out new things, clear your head and feel the impetus for change. You will find retreat and peace at the natural swimming pond, in the woods and in the vastness of the gently rolling landscape. Enjoy moments of relaxation in the pine-scented sauna and in the evening in a cozy atmosphere around the fire bowl.

All rooms are furnished in country style and have a shower, WC and hairdryer or share a shower/WC. All rooms are deliberately TV-free. You can choose between a courtyard or country view. 230,000 square meters of meadows and woodland belong to the farm.

Modern, vegetarian-vegan cuisine awaits you at the Kleebauer Hof Retreat Center. Start the day with a feel-good breakfast with breads, jams, cheese, freshly prepared porridge, fruit, various types of milk, yogurt, fruit juices, spreads, coffee and different teas. At 2 pm we serve you a light lunch with a warming soup and spreads with bread or pastries.

Joy and gratitude are not products of chance. They arise where we consciously create space - space to feel, breathe and be. In this retreat, Sieglinde Trunkenpolz accompanies you into the beneficial connection between body, mind and emotion. With simple, profound exercises from Qi Gong, guided meditations in sitting and walking as well as techniques from neurobiology, you will approach inner serenity - step by step.

The smile plays a central role here - not as a mask, but as an expression of inner softness. The practice of "smiling from the heart" can help you stay present and centered even in challenging moments. The combination of breath work, inner images and movement makes it possible to take away new impulses for everyday life and cultivate an attitude of openness and compassion.

You will receive these benefits from the "Smile with your heart" retreat:

The protected setting of the Kleebauer Hof Retreat Center with its natural bathing pond, forests and lovingly cared-for animals - including alpacas and ponies - supports this process in a completely natural way. Enjoy vegetarian-vegan soul food, the view over the vastness of the Mühlviertel and the company of like-minded people.

Whether in the morning in the light of the rising sun or in the afternoon during a silent walking meditation - you will return to a friendlier view of yourself and the world.
