Summary

A week-long island retreat away from noise, hustle, and stress—in an ideal, supportive environment!
The workshop takes place at an eco-friendly finca in a secluded cove with its own private beach.
In this idyllic setting, we can explore various exercises and aspects of the geistigfrei mindfulness program and learn how to incorporate them into our daily lives.

Current research and our own experiences confirm the healing effects of mindfulness and meditation on body, mind, and spirit. Spend a week discovering just how soothing it is to relax together and to discover and experience the positive effects of mindfulness for yourself.
Experience has shown that this comes more easily when we step away from our familiar surroundings for a while. In this wonderful place, nestled in nature and far away from civilization, we can truly reconnect with ourselves.

Here, we find the ideal conditions to reawaken our senses and quiet the inner chatter. Reconnect with your innate joy and vitality, and learn to enjoy life with all your senses.
Through gentle exercises, we’ll connect deeply with our bodies and learn—both in theory and practice—how to permanently improve our quality of life.
Learn how to free yourself from old, painful belief systems and behavioral patterns. Discover how to take personal responsibility for your health so you can enjoy life more fully.

Instead of seeking distraction in the outside world, we’ll use this time away to learn how to connect more deeply with ourselves.
We’ll consciously forgo 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 daily life.

The goal of the workshop is to create a stronger foundation for your own inner balance and for finding your bearings in everyday life. Through the group exercises, each participant can put together their own individual “toolkit” that they can use time and again in their daily lives. For a more mindful life in the here and now, in every moment where our actual life unfolds.

Testimonials:

Dear Peter,

My new self has returned home happy, full of confidence, and brimming with energy. Thank you for the valuable process work under your confident and loving guidance. You have the unique gift of moving people—hearts and all. Your powerful presence acts as a catalyst. I’d love to experience more of this in the future!

The inner images of my spectacular farewell from El Cabrito will stay with me for a long time, supporting and inspiring me. Before the trip, I had resolved to transform my fear into love and strength—“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 ask for?

Enjoy the rest of your vacation, and know that you’re embraced and cherished.

Warm regards,
Sepideh K., Berlin (September 2023)

“Hi Peter,

‘Less is often more’—even when it comes to words…….

Thank you so much for the “temporal” week on La Gomera and thank you so much for the “emotional” quarter-year on La Gomera! What I experienced there can’t be described in words—you simply have to experience it for yourself.

But perhaps I could 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 so bright.” YES, that’s exactly how it feels.” Yippee! 🙂

See you soon,

Bettina

P.S.: Yes, you’re welcome to use this feedback for whatever you like—the world needs to know that there are still people who can convey these important things and who are themselves so genuine and tangible!!!!!!

YOU’RE AMAZING!!!!!!!”

and a big thank you to everyone who was there! I miss you all and am glad we’ll stay connected.

“Dear Peter, dear mindfulness group,

I traveled with you to this fascinating place without any expectations, and I would do it all over again! The week at 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 had been looking forward to La Gomera soooo much.

And what can I say: This wonderful and intense time we spent together will remain unforgettable for me.

Now it’s time for me to gradually put these tools into regular use.

Thank you to you, to all of you, to us—we who will always remain connected!

Daniel”

“Dear Peter,

I haven’t really settled in here yet, and that’s a good thing. With your help, I was able to comfort my daughter in such an uplifting way tonight, and that made me very happy. I’ve learned so much from you this week, and for that I’m sooo grateful to you with all my heart and soul. You’re a very special person—thank you for being here. I’d love to send all the people closest to my heart to you so they can experience the same happiness. Stay just the way you are, and see you soon…

Warm regards – Heidrun”

Accommodation

Our hotel, Finca El Cabrito, is located in one of the most beautiful barancos on La Gomera (a Canary Island near Tenerife) in a secluded cove. It is accessible only by boat, as there is no road access—a place of complete peace and seclusion.
The former plantation is now a nature-oriented and eco-friendly hotel, situated right on the ocean with its own private beach right outside the door.

Each participant must transfer a deposit of 50% of the total cost of the stay directly to the El Cabrito hotel-finca no later than 3 months before arrival.

IMPORTANT:
The room allocation reserved for this seminar will be returned to the hotel 8 weeks before the start date, so accommodation at El Cabrito can no longer be guaranteed.
We’ll be happy to provide the contact information upon request.

Catering

Please book directly through the hotel.

Vegetarian/vegan meals are available!

Testimonials:

Hello Peter,

Just think of all that can happen when all masks come off, when all roles are set aside, when the inner self reunites with the outer self.

You save lives. Together with the whole group of wonderful hearts, you guide me back to my heart, my home, my origin. Back to feeling trust and showing my true self.

Life is so colorful and wonderful. And just look at what love can do. And laughter. Wow, that shared laughter from the heart—how contagious this joy is. To see all your shining eyes at sunrise, a new day dawning, a fresh start, a new chance to make the world just a little bit better. To feel love in my heart, a sense of connection. That is a gift.

Can I ever say “thank you” often enough?

I feel so light, like a butterfly drifting on the wind. Embraced by life with so many outstretched hands.
I am so ready and determined to continue on my path. I was missing a sense of security, but now I have it back.
La Gomera, March 2026, was unique. I carry you all in my heart ♥️.
With deepest gratitude 🙏🏻

“Mindfulness Week led by 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 the daily sunrise accompanied by silent meditation, along with morning exercises called “Scented Qi Gong”—a day could hardly start any better. 🙂

Peter’s lived mindfulness was very clearly and soothingly palpable. Thanks to his intuition and spontaneity, he succeeded in addressing not only the group’s immediate needs but also the concerns of individuals, guiding us through harmonious processes.

For me, it was a wonderful experience to be able to observe Peter time and again and learn from him.

Within a very short time, the group grew very close—both personally and from the heart—which clearly did me and everyone else a world of good. 🙂

In addition to lots of joy, fun, humor, and a good dose of surprises thanks to Peter’s spontaneity and tireless dedication, there were also some very touching and profound moments.

All that’s left for me to do is say a huge 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—truly unique, refreshing, relaxing, joyful, and moving.
El Cabrito is simply magical. Everything is so harmonious… The food is a true delight, the nature is unique, and the people are so warm.
Especially your empathetic and intuitive way of leading the group, sensing what’s needed where, and improvising.
The many small and loving details like scents, stories, words of encouragement, gifts, and hugs.

The many special moments we were all able to experience together—such as swimming in the ocean, hiking, meditating, laughing, listening mindfully, feeling, crying, dancing, being happy, shouting “Yayyyyy,” doing physical exercises together, relaxation, and touch—I will always carry these in my heart.
Also special are the people who have grown dear to my heart this week and left their mark on me.
You’re a truly wonderful group—thank you all; I felt so safe and supported, a completely new and beautiful feeling; -)
I came home brimming with a toolbox of positive energy, relaxed, and with a permanent smile on my face—and it’s still going strong!
A very special thank you from the bottom of my heart,

Nina”

“Dear Peter,

This week’s retreat was one of a kind. The place has magic.

The whole experience was enhanced by the way you guided us as a group, attentively addressing our needs and meeting each of us exactly where we were. You made so many inspiring exercises, conversations, and discoveries possible—both on the island and within myself.

It’s truly unique how you structure your courses and always find exactly what’s needed at the moment and what does us good.

I came home from this week feeling clear-headed and calm, and along with many wonderful memories, I have a bag full of ideas on how to stay alert, healthy, and serene in my daily life through mindfulness and exercises. Thank you!
And thank you to all the wonderful people who are so dedicated to this path—it was truly beautiful and inspiring to be with you all.

Warm regards—Nicola”

Wow! What a wonderful week, or rather, wonderful 8 weeks. ;) I could have stayed there forever... I don't even know how to put this journey into words. For me personally, it was a very intense and emotional time. When I booked, I had no idea who or what to expect in El Cabrito. Thanks to all the participants and a heartfelt thank you to Peter. You managed to bring us together as a group very quickly and build trust among us. You created a space where we could simply be who we really are. A space without judgment. A space for laughter, crying, and letting go. Through you and the group, I gained many insights, had many great conversations, and received a lot of support and impulses for my future self. You are such a kind-hearted person, full of empathy, humor, and much more. Your choice of music was so fitting for every single moment, incredibly beautiful and wonderful. Goosebumps moments are guaranteed with the music. I can only warmly recommend to everyone, book this journey to yourself, go to El Cabrito, and get to know Peter and this paradise-like place! :) You won't regret it! Dear Peter, I thank you very much for your work and look forward to more seminars with you! This will not be my last one. :) I send you a warm hug from the beautiful North! The Northern Light of our group! :)

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

Testimonials:
Early on in my life, I invested a lot of time and money in my personal development and coaching.
The wide variety of seminars I’ve attended led by Peter Schuth and his “Geistigfrei” concept have been a step above anything I’ve experienced in courses and seminars so far!
It’s truly a wonderful experience to see how the coach connects with each participant, fostering and nurturing their uniqueness.
All seminar content resonates on a heart level, and you feel safe and in good hands from the very first moment.
Simply top-notch, highly recommended—
I’d gladly come back, and keep up the great work!

Thank you for the opportunities and the positive thoughts that Peter instills in each and every participant!

All the best for the future, and warm regards,
Sergio S. from Stuttgart (March 2023)

“Good morning, dear Peter,
when you said goodbye to us, you mentioned, among other things, ‘write
to me.’ I haven’t forgotten that, just as I haven’t forgotten so many other things from the wonderful
week with you and the other wonderful people.
Yes, it was a truly beautiful and meaningful time for me, and I’d like to
thank you once again for it. Thank you for the many insights, the guidance in
opening the heart’s shutters, the goosebump-inducing moments, the calming exercises,
the dynamic scent qigong, the beautiful music that invites movement, my new
favorite number—10—and your wonderful sense of humor that brings such lovely lightness
to moments that aren’t always so easy. Thank you for helping me
come to this amazing island and for letting me get to know this special place, El Cabrito,
along with all the wonderful people there.
I have the utmost respect for what you accomplished this week to give us
all so much—from morning to night—and all with so much
empathy, warmth, and kindness.
Even though I haven’t completely lost my mind, there are many
moments in my everyday life when I recall what I learned and experienced
during my week with you. Thoughts and memories keep coming back
from those situations that I can then apply, or I recognize things and
become aware of them.

I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart and look forward to
more encounters with you.
Warm regards and a big hug—Inge”

Dear Peter,
The mindfulness week on La Gomera was an incredible journey and a wonderful experience that’s hard to put into words. Such a diverse group and so many wonderful moments in this special place. Peace, joy, comfort, self-reflection, movement, music, listening, holding, swaying, dancing, and so much more…
Thank you for your intuition and for your ability to bring this group into a frequency of love.
I’m already looking forward to the next seminar with you!
Warm regards,
Ana
