Summary
December 4–6, 2026 | Harz
A weekend of silence, depth, and gentle connection
As the year draws to a close, nature grows quieter—yet everyday life often grows noisier. Deadlines, expectations, to-do lists, pre-Christmas stress. This retreat offers you the exact opposite:
space to pause, take a deep breath, and let go. A gentle transition from your mind back into your body.
Yin Escape is your mindful break at the end of the year—an invitation to slow down, feel yourself, and connect with what truly matters.
Here’s what awaits you:
A nourishing blend of silence, nature, Yin, and self-care. Gentle rituals, deep stillness, and community in a lighthearted and loving way.
🧘♀️ Yin Yoga & Slow Flow
Slowing-down Yin sessions and breathing exercises
A gently flowing Slow Flow to warm up and settle in
Space to reflect, rest, and sink into the moment
✨ Cocoa Ceremony & Mantra Singing
A soothing cacao ceremony opens the heart, accompanied by singing simple mantras together—connecting, light, healing.
📓 Journaling & Reflection
Guidance for reflecting on the past year, letting go, and setting intentions for the new year. Gentle, without pressure—just you and your inner self.
🔥 Campfire Romance
Sitting together by the fire, sharing stories, singing, being silent, and enjoying the moment. A moment of genuine connection.
🌲 Silent Hike
A guided walking meditation through the nature of the Harz Mountains—to consciously hear the silence again.
🧖♀️ Sauna & Massages (optional and bookable directly at the lodge for a fee)
For resting, warming up, and feeling good. Perfect after a Yin session or the silent hike.

Accommodation
Die Villa Viriditas ist ein Ort zum Krafttanken und Ruhefinden in der schönen Harzer Wildnis. Es ist ein kleiner Familienbetrieb und wir werden die einzige Gruppe vor Ort sein. Das Haus ist 2016 von innen komplett renoviert und umgebaut worden - Kalkputz, Lehmfarben und geölte Holzfußböden schaffen ein angenehmes Raumklima. Unser Trinkwasser wird durch eine Umkehr-Osmoseanlage aufbereitet. Die Zimmer sind weitestgehend strahlungsfrei und bewusst ohne TV und Radio gehalten, bei Bedarf gibt es ein Wlan-Netz in den Gemeinschaftsräumen.
Während des Retreats dürfen wir die leckere, vegetarisch/vegane und regionale Küche genießen. Bitte informiere mich bei Allergien und Unverträglichkeiten.

Departure
Arrival
Directions by Train/Bus:
The nearest train station is in Wernigerode.
The website lists all bus routes to Elbingerode (the “Medizinisches Zentrum” stop is very close—about 200 meters; however, on Saturdays and Sundays, buses only stop at the “Markt” stop—about a 15-minute walk).
Directions by car:
In Elbingerode, drive past the Mutterhaus toward the Waldgasthof Hirschbrunnen; you’ll find us on the left.
Cancellation policy
Full refund up to 57 days before arrival.If you cancel up to 28 days before arrival, you will receive a 50% refund of the booking price.
After this, the booking is non-refundable.
Cancellation of an event is only valid if it is made in writing or by email and confirmed by me.
The following rules apply in the event of cancellation:
If cancellation occurs eight weeks before the retreat begins, 50% of the seminar fee will be retained.
If you cancel within the last four weeks before the retreat begins, the entire seminar fee will be retained, unless you provide the name of a replacement participant to take your place.
In the event of illness, travel cancellation insurance would cover these costs. I recommend purchasing travel cancellation insurance. Unfortunately, a refund is not possible after the deadlines mentioned above.
