The teachings of the Buddha - meditation, yoga and sutras

Retreat to the Mountain Retreat Center in the Chiemgau mountains. The Retreat Center has 20 rooms with views of the impressive natural landscape of the Alps. It can happen that you are amazed out of nowhere. Again and again. Each of our rooms is a special kind of retreat in its own right. Small, fine, cozy.

The full board at the Mountain Retreat Center is vegetarian and vegan. The most important meal of the day, at least according to the Chinese, is breakfast. That's why we also attach particular importance to a good, healthy breakfast - always including warm porridge. For lunch you enjoy soup, bread and spreads, and in the evening you are treated to a delicious buffet with salad, creative vegetarian-vegan main courses and a dessert. Always freshly cooked and as seasonal as possible. Intolerances can be catered for by prior arrangement.

We see Buddha figures everywhere today - in gardens, yoga rooms, on T-shirts. But who was Siddhartha Gautama really, this king's son from northern India who left everything behind to find the truth?

In this retreat, you will immerse yourself in the essence of Buddhist teachings - beyond exoticism or religious attachment. We will look at central aspects of his teachings: the path to liberation from suffering, the development of compassion, the power of mindfulness and the deep understanding of reality.

The days are characterized by a clear structure, but without rigid guidelines: silent meditation sessions, mindful walks, physical exercises from yoga and inspiring discussion impulses form the heart of the programme. Between the sessions, there is space for retreat, exchange or simply being - supported by the tranquil mountain panorama of the Chiemgau.

This retreat is aimed at anyone who would like to delve deeper - regardless of previous knowledge or spiritual orientation. All you need is the willingness to listen - to the teachings and to yourself.
