Are you exhausted? Burned out? Then join us on this journey!
Recharge your energy, build your resilience, and create your own little monastery retreat.
My main offering is the one-day seminar, which takes place on Saturdays.
You can arrive as early as Friday and/or stay overnight at the monastery until Sunday, or just come for the one-day seminar on Saturday. So there are no overnight costs! The one-day seminar takes place on Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to approximately 5:00 p.m.
You CANNOT take this path online. It is the path to yourself. Into your inner self, and at the same time, a varied program in nature awaits you. Feel free to read some testimonials from my participants.
You’ll find them below.
In the forest, your cells will begin to breathe, and you will experience deep relaxation. A day of mindful time-out can work small miracles and is a great opportunity to engage with the seminar content without spending hours in a seminar room.
We’ll walk through beautiful nature to a place of power and a healing spring. The path is also an invitation to discover an inner journey, to reconnect with yourself, to regenerate, and to recharge your energy.
How you experience yourself on this inner journey can provide you with deep insights into your life.
Together, we’ll attune ourselves to this journey. It is a process of self-discovery and a mindfulness practice.
You can have a deeply transformative experience and release old trauma, or simply recharge and relax.
You set your own inner pace.
Nothing will be forced upon you along this path.
You’ll learn a lot about myths and legends, and if you wish, you can let yourself be transported to another world, rediscovering nature and seeing it in a new light.
You’ll train your body awareness and mindfulness, reconnecting with yourself and with nature, which is a true source of strength.
In the stress of everyday life, we often lose touch with our own bodies, and most people tend to live in their heads—yet the body holds such profound wisdom. Your body will remember, too.
Would you like to truly feel yourself again and experience harmony with nature?
Then I would be delighted to inspire you.
We’ll strengthen resilience and self-love, fostering a fresh, vibrant approach to life.
On this day, I’ll weave together content from my long-running, successful seminar “Happiness Through Self-Love” with new insights.
Below, you’ll find out how you can structure the day—depending on your budget.
I’m very much looking forward to our journey together.
You should be physically fit enough to manage the outbound hike (1/2 hour downhill) and the return hike (approx. 1 hour uphill through the forest). The total distance is about 8 km. We’ll walk slowly! With average fitness, it’s very manageable.
By the way, I’m also happy when men set out on this journey to themselves ;-)!

Book the room of your choice if, for example, you’d like to stay from Friday to Saturday or from Saturday to Sunday.
Standard single rooms are available for €55, as well as rooms in a higher category. Whatever suits you best.
The meal plan costs €43 per day and includes three delicious and hearty vegetarian buffets.
If you are only attending the day seminar on Saturday, you can either wind down the day in the tea house or enjoy the evening monastery buffet for €15.50. (I think that’s a very nice option.)
The seminar takes place on Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to approximately 5:00 p.m.
We serve delicious Asian and German cuisine, and my past seminar participants have been delighted.
Please book your meals when you reserve your room.
If you book only the day seminar—that is, without an overnight stay—you can round out the seminar with dinner for €15.50 at the monastery on Saturday at 5:45 p.m. and enjoy the delicious monastery buffet once again.
We’ll meet on Saturday at the BuddhasWeg monastery in the Odenwald.
We’ll begin our journey here in the beautiful garden of BuddhasWeg.
We’ll engage in some self-reflection (please bring something to write with), do mindful yoga exercises to
get in touch with our bodies.
Afterward, we’ll set off through the forest to visit the place of power and the healing spring.
There, we’ll linger and perform a ritual, relax, and share our experiences.
We’ll begin our return journey around 3:00 p.m.
We’ll arrive back at the BuddhasWeg monastery around 4:30 p.m. There, you can wind down the day in the tea house with a delicious cappuccino or tea and a tasty slice of cake, and/or have dinner at the monastery at 5:45 p.m.
You can book an overnight stay and turn the day seminar into a short monastery retreat if you’d like, or head home.
So there are many options, meaning there’s something for every budget.
I’m really looking forward to seeing you.
In this one-day seminar, you’ll have the opportunity to explore spiritual wisdom, body awareness, mindfulness, rituals, connecting with nature, and resilience training.
I have been leading groups in mindfulness, meditation, self-awareness, and self-love for 22 years, and I love nature. I would be happy to inspire you and accompany you on this journey.
Testimonials from my participants:
Kristin, Seminar on 6/22/25
Dear Martina,
........it continued to resonate with me for a long time, and I realize that I’ve now fully returned to myself! A wonderful seminar, set in magnificent nature, and the weather added to the experience. Thank you, dear Martina, for embodying your deeply empathetic nature, your clarity, and your knowledge in such a wonderful way during this seminar. You opened the sacred space with appreciation and non-judgment, allowing us to let go and free ourselves from what weighs us down. Thank you! I felt very comfortable and drove home feeling liberated, relaxed, and happy.
Warm and sunny greetings from the heart
Kristin
Dagmar, Seminar 6/22/25
Dear Martina,
the day we spent together with you and the group was something very special for me. Although I normally wouldn’t have hiked through the Odenwald at 33 degrees in the shade, it was something akin to a sweat lodge with the shamans. My trauma came to the surface and was finally transformed this time, ready to be released. Thanks to your wonderful guidance, dear Martina, this process was able to unfold fully and come to a close. You held the space for it, together with this amazing group. I am very grateful for that!
Warm regards,
Dagmar
Dear Martina, I’d like to add a few more thoughts to my feedback.
The seminar was a successful blend.
On the one hand, stillness/silence/being alone. On the other hand, communication/information/group experience.
On the one hand, a fire ceremony at a magical place. On the other hand, refreshment and relaxation at a spring with clear, cool water, right across the way. Purification through water, but also through constant sweating in temperatures over 30 degrees and the midday sun with its intense light on June 22, shortly after the summer solstice.
The beginning of the seminar at a huge, golden, male Buddha statue that radiated a great deal of calm.
The conclusion of the seminar at a female Buddha statue made of white stone, located directly across from it.
Yin and Yang.
Thank you, dear Martina, for this wonderful arrangement!
Warm regards,
Dagmar

Martina knows what she is talking about and can convey it well and empathically. The seminar is well structured and not overwhelming, with enough 'solo' time around it. Buddha's path and the Odenwald for hiking is worth a trip and I was already welcome there 2 days before.

The seminar is highly recommended. The location, the peace and quiet and the way Martina organizes the seminar are all-round harmonious. I took a lot away with me and would attend a seminar with her again at any time.

Very nice time out! I would book the seminar again at any time. Martina is very responsive to each participant and has adapted the program individually to the needs of the participants. The accommodation is functional (standard single room, there are also higher quality rooms) and the catering is very good (vegan, vegetarian or gluten-free well feasible).
