Accommodation

A magical place for body, mind, and human connection. The Neue Spitzmühle is an unconventional seminar house and, above all, an extended family by the lake. A mixture of alternative home, open community, and refuge for friends. A home with a living room atmosphere and Ayurveda (cuisine) for wellness, rituals, and workshops. The house also offers a large garden surrounded by beautiful nature, a sauna, two fire pits, a sweat lodge, a hot tub by the lake, two private jetties that lead us directly into the water, and a large lawn for relaxing and practicing.

Accommodation is in cozy, simple, clean, and bright double and single rooms. Overnight stays in a single room are available for a small surcharge. Overnight stays in tents or your own bus/van are also possible on the premises.

Catering

One of our highlights: With us, EVERYTHING is included. No hidden extra costs. Not just breakfast, not just half board. With us, you will be provided with delicious and healthy Ayurvedic cuisine around the clock. The meals are lovingly prepared in buffet form. You can decide for yourself whether you want to eat your meals in a group in the seminar house, outside on our spacious terrace, or right by the water on the boat dock in silence or in a cozy group with the other yogis. Retreat participants regularly give my chef 5/5 stars and are completely happy and satisfied.
