Summary

Would you like to take a detailed look at a current, challenging situation in a constructive way and without being disturbed and/or get to know one of the most successful self-reflection methods, Japanese introspection (Naikan) in a short version?
Then the "Naikan taster" is the right place for you.
You will spend three days (arrival and departure count as one day) in complete retreat, without contact with the outside world or your fellow practitioners, in a protective cabin (room) and reflect on a situation or a person with the help of three questions. Around 9 times a day, your facilitator comes to listen to your answers. There is no commentary or statement on what you have worked out - you are allowed to make your findings completely on your own and without the evaluation of an external person.
You will be well looked after and will not have to worry about your physical well-being. Three meals are served in your room and fruit, drinks and sweets are always available - all you have to do is grab them...
Self-awareness could hardly be more beautiful.

Catering

If you do not tolerate or like gluten, milk protein or other foods, we can easily do without them and cook vegan, for example.
Simply let us know your allergies/intolerances/dislikes in good time before the start of the seminar (approx. 1 week in advance) so that we can adjust our menu accordingly.

sequence

Simply leave everyday life behind you and immerse yourself in a new world. Feel (almost) like a child again, who doesn't need to worry about anything and is lovingly cared for all round.
You decide whether you want to bring a current topic with you or take a closer look at your relationship with a particular person.
After arrival and dinner, the introductory talk takes place, in which the course of the days and the use of the three Naikan questions are explained and you can ask plenty of questions.
Immediately afterwards, the exercise begins, interspersed with short discussions with the leader.
In addition to approx. 25 short individual discussions, 9 meals and fruit, drinks etc., you will gain a first impression of self-reflection with the Japanese Naikan method (Nai = inside, kan = observe) over these 3 days. You may have already mastered a major challenge in your everyday life - the "tools" with the three questions will stay with you in any case...
