What is happiness? Writing as a journey to a happy and joyful life

On this meditative, creative writing journey, you will immerse yourself in the world and the art of happiness. You will be inspired by writing impulses and guided by your pen to the seeds and pearls of your happiness. In the process, you will rediscover happiness, big and small, for yourself and find inspiration in writing about what happiness means to you personally.

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.

veryone wants to be happy. But how does happiness work? And what makes happiness happy?
Writing, presence and nature are our sources this week for rediscovering our own perception and feeling for the wonderful, beneficial and healing things in ourselves and in the world.
This writing and happiness journey should leave you with a feeling that makes you want to live and enjoy more of yourself and your happiness.

"Happiness is like a rose garden. Those who carry it within them always have a place where they can enjoy the sweetness of life."
Denise Prill
