Summary

A week's island break away from noise, hustle and bustle and stress in ideal supportive conditions! The workshop takes place on an eco-friendly finca in a secluded bay with its own beach. In this idyllic location, we can experience various exercises and content from the Geistfrei mindfulness program and learn how to incorporate them into our everyday lives.

Current research and personal experience confirm the healing effects of mindfulness and meditation on the body, mind, and soul. Spend a week discovering how beneficial it is to relax together and experience the positive effects of mindfulness for yourself. Experience shows that this is easier when we leave our familiar surroundings for a while. In this wonderful place, nestled in nature and far away from civilization, we can truly find ourselves. Here we find the ideal conditions to sharpen our senses again and turn off the mental movie theater. Get back in touch with your original joy and vitality and learn to enjoy life with all your senses.
With gentle exercises, we get in touch with our bodies and learn in theory and practice how to improve our quality of life in the long term. Learn how to free yourself from old, painful beliefs and behavior patterns. Learn how to take responsibility for your own health in order to enjoy life more.

Instead of distracting ourselves with external influences, during this time-out we will learn how to get in better touch with ourselves. We will consciously forego comforts such as television during this week. No prior knowledge is required to participate in this workshop. The exercises are practical and easy to integrate into everyday life.

The aim of the workshop is to create a stronger foundation for your own balance and orientation in everyday life. From the joint exercises, each participant can put together their own individual "toolbox" that they can use again and again in everyday life. For a more conscious life in the here and now, in every moment in which our actual life takes place.

Testimonials: Dear Peter, my new self has arrived home happy, full of confidence and energy. Thank you for the valuable process work under your confident and loving guidance. You have the unique gift of moving people—including their hearts. Your powerful presence acts as a catalyst. I look forward to more of this in the future! The inner images of my spectacular farewell from El Cabrito will accompany and inspire me for a long time to come. Before the trip, I had decided to transform my fear into love and strength, into "power." Now, barely 10 days later, love is bubbling out of every pore and coloring my reality in the most beautiful shades of existence. What more could I want? Enjoy the rest of your vacation and feel hugged and appreciated. Best regards, Sepideh K., Berlin (September 2023)
_____________________________________________________________________ "Hello Peter, "less is often more" – also when it comes to words... Thank you very much for the "temporal" week in La Gomera and thank you very much for the "felt" ¼ year in La Gomera! What I experienced there cannot be described in words, you simply have to experience it for yourself.

But I could perhaps describe it in the words of a colleague of mine. She said to me this morning, "You look like you're floating and everything around you is very bright." YES, that's exactly how it feels. Yuhuuuuu! 🙂 See you soon,

Bettina PS: Yes, you can use this feedback for anything you want. The world should know that there are still people who can convey these important things and who are themselves very real and tangible!!!!!! YOU ARE GREAT!!!!!!!" Bettina R., Öhringen (March 2019)

_____________________________________________________________________ Dear Peter, thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing something so beautiful into the world with so much energy, and a big thank you to everyone who was there!

_____________________________________________________________________ "Dear Peter, dear mindfulness group, I traveled with you to this fascinating place without any expectations, and I would do it again in a heartbeat! The week in El Cabrito was balm for my soul! When you wrote after the monastery weekend that La Gomera was on the agenda, I knew it would be good. I was soooo looking forward to La Gomera. And what can I say: this wonderful and intense time together with you will remain unforgettable for me. Now it's time for me to gradually start using the tools on a regular basis. Thank you to you, to us, who will always remain connected!

With your help, I was able to comfort my daughter in such an uplifting way tonight, and that made me very happy. I learned so much from you this week, and for that I am so grateful to you with all my heart and soul. You are a very special person, thank you for being there. I would love to send all the people close to my heart to you so that they can experience the same happiness. Stay as you are and see you soon... Best regards – Heidrun" Heidrun B./Backnang

Accommodation

Our hotel finca El Cabrito is located in one of the most beautiful barancos of La Gomera (a Canary Island near Tenerife) in a secluded bay. It can only be reached by boat, as there is no road access – a place of complete peace and seclusion.
The original plantation is now a nature-friendly and ecologically managed hotel, located directly on the sea with its own beach on the doorstep. Each participant must transfer a deposit of 50% of the accommodation price directly to the Hotel Finca El Cabrito at least 3 months before arrival.

IMPORTANT: The room contingent reserved for this seminar will be returned to the hotel finca 8 weeks before the start of the seminar, so accommodation at El Cabrito can no longer be guaranteed. We will be happy to provide contact details upon request.

Catering

Please book directly through the hotel. Vegetarian/vegan meals are available! Stinmen: "Dear Peter, dear mindfulness group, I traveled with you to this fascinating place without any expectations, and I would do it again in a heartbeat! The week at El Cabrito was balm for my soul!

"Mindfulness week with Peter Schuth at El Cabrito, La Gomera, Canary Islands: I had no expectations when I signed up for this week – but I received wonderful gifts, such as daily sunrises accompanied by silent meditation and morning physical exercises called "fragrance qigong." There's no better way to start the day. 🙂

Peter's lived mindfulness was very clear and pleasantly noticeable. Thanks to his intuition and spontaneity, he succeeded in responding not only to the immediate needs of the group, but also to the concerns of individuals, and in guiding us into harmonious processes. It was a great experience for me to be able to observe Peter again and again and learn from him.

Within a very short time, the group became very close on a personal and emotional level, which was clearly good for me and everyone else. 🙂 In addition to a lot of joy, fun, humor, and a good dose of surprises thanks to Peter's spontaneity and tireless efforts, there were also some very touching and profound moments.

I can only say a big THANK YOU to Peter for this extraordinary week! All the best, Martin" Martin O./Rosenheim "Dear Peter, it was a very special week for me. Particularly different, refreshing, relaxing, joyful, and touching. El Cabrito is simply magical. Everything is so harmonious... The food is a real treat, the nature is unique, the people are so warm. Especially your sensitive and intuitive way of leading the group, sensing what is needed and improvising. The many small and loving details such as scents, stories, encouraging words, gifts, and hugs.

I will always carry in my heart the many special moments we were able to experience together, such as swimming in the sea, hiking, meditating, laughing, listening mindfully, feeling, crying, dancing, being happy, shouting "yay," doing physical exercises together, relaxing, and touching.
The people who grew close to my heart during this week and left their mark on me are also very special. You are a wonderful bunch – thank you all, I felt very safe and supported, a completely new and wonderful feeling ;-) I came home full of positive energy, relaxed and with a permanent smile on my face, and it's still lasting!
A very special thank you from the bottom of my heart, Nina." Nina S./Mühltal Dear Peter, dear mindfulness group, I traveled with you to this fascinating place without any expectations, and I would do it again in a heartbeat! The week in El Cabrito was balm for my soul!

When you wrote after the monastery weekend that La Gomera was next, I knew it would be good. I was soooo looking forward to La Gomera. And what can I say: this wonderful and intense time together with you will remain unforgettable for me.

Now it's time for me to gradually start using the tools on a regular basis. Thank you to you, to us, who will always remain connected! Daniel "Dear Peter, this week's break was unique. The place has magic.

This was enhanced by the way you led us as a group, responding to our needs and meeting each individual where we were. You made many inspiring exercises, conversations, and discoveries possible on the island and within myself. The way you design your courses is unique, always finding what is needed and what is good for us.

I came home from this week feeling calm and peaceful, and in addition to many wonderful memories, I have a bag full of ideas on how I can move through everyday life in an alert, healthy, and relaxed manner through mindfulness and exercises. Thank you! And thank you to all the wonderful people who are so attached to their feet, it was really nice and inspiring to be with you. Best regards – Nicola"

I was very excited at the beginning about what to expect. And my expectations were exceeded. The accommodation was like paradise and Peter did a great job leading the group. Within a short time, I felt so comfortable that I was able to open up and really take a journey to myself.

In a fast-paced and digital world, this retreat is just the thing. In addition to the analog life in this dreamlike enclave, which almost forces you to focus exclusively on yourself, old emotional wounds, some of which have already been forgotten, also come to the surface. However, I felt completely safe and free to let these emotions out, to "dance myself free", to shout out my anger... without philosophizing about it afterwards in terms of depth psychology, without a why, wherefore or wherefore. A brief, appreciative look backwards, only to arrive right back in the here and now. What is really important in life? Who am I without all the trappings? Without my thoughts? Without the opinions of others? Only me! Life in this place is slow, conscious and loving. The people I have met here are all people of the heart, a deep connection has developed here. We were together for 8 weeks... That's how the 8 days feel. It is lasting, the memory of this time is deep and will be with me every day from now on, including the fragrance quigong. Anyone who goes on this journey comes back a new person. Thank you dear Peter, thank you to the whole group for this wonderful experience! All the best, Sabine

A magical week in a unique environment. I gave myself these days in the hope of leaving many things behind and discovering new things. Under Peter's expert guidance, I reclaimed a world I thought I had lost. He handed me the key to rediscover an old love - the love for life, the love for other people and the love for myself. He integrated every single participant and wonderful things came out of this togetherness. Thank you Peter. Franziska

The various seminars I attended by Peter Schuth and his Geistigfrei concept have been a step up from everything I have experienced in courses and seminars so far! It is very worthwhile to experience how the coach responds to each participant and promotes and develops their uniqueness. All seminar content takes place on a heart level and you feel safe and in good hands from the very first moment.
Simply top notch, highly recommended, I'd love to come back and keep it up! Thank you for the opportunities and positive thoughts that Peter creates for each and every participant! All the best and best regards, Sergio S. from Stuttgart (March 2023)

"Good morning dear Peter, when you said goodbye to us, you said, among other things, 'write to me'. I haven't forgotten that, nor have I forgotten so many other things from the wonderful week I spent with you and the other wonderful people. Yes, it was a very nice and good time for me and I would like to thank you again for that. Thank you for the many insights, the help in opening the heart shutters, the goose bump moments, the calming exercises, the moving fragrance qigong, the beautiful music that invites movement, the new favorite number -10, your wonderful humor that brings this beautiful lightness to the not always so easy moments. Thank you for bringing me to this wonderful island and allowing me to get to know this special place, El Cabrito, and its wonderful people. I have the utmost respect for what you have achieved this week in giving us all so much, from morning to night, and all with so much empathy, warmth, and cordiality. Even though I haven't completely lost my mind, there are many
moments in my everyday life when I remember what I learned and experienced during my week with you. Thoughts and memories of situations keep coming back to me, which I can then apply or recognize things, become aware of. I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart and look forward to meeting you again.
Warm regards and a big hug – Inge" Inge S., Frankfurt (March 2022) Dear Peter, the mindfulness week on La Gomera was an incredible journey and a wonderful experience that is hard to describe. Such a diverse group and so many beautiful moments in this privileged place. Peace, joy, comfort, self-reflection, movement, music, listening, holding, swinging, dancing, and much more... Thank you for your intuition and for your ability to bring this group to a frequency of love. I am already looking forward to the next seminar with you! Warm regards, Ana Ana B., Frankfurt (December 2022)
