Time between the years: Planting seeds for the new

The time between the years is a special time. Our retreat offers the opportunity to consciously experience and shape this time, to draw strength for the new year and to set a new course, to explore where wishes and potential lie. One morning and one evening impulse, which always involves body, soul and spirit, are a fixed feature of these days. Otherwise, there is plenty of space for you to go for walks, hikes, cycling in the beautiful natural surroundings, trips to the sea and forest, your own writing and other projects or for individual counseling, massages, yoga classes, etc. We can spend and organize the evenings together if you wish. But you are also free to spend them alone or with companions.
You decide whether we cook together or you cater for yourself. You can contact an author and journalist with more than 30 years of experience in creative and biographical writing as well as a yoga and massage therapist who is also a professional chef. We have more than 30 years of experience as lecturers in the creative and self-awareness sector and combine this in our parsonage seminars and retreats.
Our vicarage is located between the Baltic Sea and the lake district on the edge of a nature reserve. Ideal to "come down" and relax. Please bring writing materials and a yoga mat etc.

The rooms/parlors/apartments in the vicarage are individually designed. We have two fully furnished guest apartments with kitchen and bathroom. The individual guest rooms and parlors also have their own bathroom. If there is great interest, two further rooms can be rented from our neighbor in the old schoolhouse. In addition to individual accommodation, the spacious communal rooms on the ground and first floors are also available.

The prices quoted do not include catering. On request, however, we can also organize communal catering with joint cooking, but we need to know this in good time and only offer it if it is logistically possible and sensible. We therefore ask you to let us know when you first contact us whether you would prefer self-catering or communal catering.
We would like to create a framework for your individual processes with our offer, so the time is also flexible. You are free to stay only for three/four days before New Year's Eve (27.12. to 30./31.12.) or five/six days or longer into the New Year (27.12. to 1./2.1.2026).

We meet in the morning at a set time and start with stretching and gentle movement, as well as a creative impulse for the day. The day is at your free disposal, we are available as a contact person. Intensive treatments and writing support can also be booked.
In the evening we will meet again, exchange ideas and there will be another impulse and a relaxation session. If you wish, you can spend the evening with us or relax on your own...
We will think up something special for New Year's Eve, cook and eat together and organize the evening creatively, perhaps even outside.... This meal is included in the price quoted.
Initially, self-catering is planned. However, if you wish, we can cook together and organize the catering as for our parish house seminars. If you want to stay longer, you can book additional nights.

Via the A19, exit Laage, then through Laage, turn right to Polchow. By public transport: We will pick you up from Laage S-Bahn station by arrangement.
