The Vinnenberg Monastery is located in Warendorf in the Münsterland region and is no more than 1.5 hours away from many cities in the Ruhr area. It is about a 2-hour drive from Düsseldorf and Cologne. The monastery is run by nuns and is very lovingly decorated. Weather permitting, we can practice yoga in the monastery garden. It’s usually already quite warm there in May, so we can do our mindfulness exercises in the fresh air.
