What to expect:

Intense self-encounter: Spend a weekend in silence with yourself and explore the workings of your mind and body in a profound way.

The idyllic inner courtyard with its large, old walnut tree, the calming sound of the fountain and a choir of singing birds offers a space to take a deep breath, relax and simply be. The numerous works of art in the house are a delight: paintings, sculptures and photographs created by artists from a space of inner stillness.
