A house with history

The retreat is held in a roughly 200-year-old farmhouse renovated according to ecological principles. It offers single, double, and shared rooms, all lovingly furnished. Bathrooms are located either in the rooms or on the hallway. The house also includes a meditation room, a training room, a sauna, and large outdoor areas suitable for training.

Requirements

• Openness to new experiences
• Basic physical health (fitness level does not matter)
• Willingness to engage in holistic practice
• Minimum age: 16 (younger upon request)

You do not need prior experience or physical peak condition. Entry is possible even at older age. Training is adapted to your abilities — not the other way around. Content is adjusted so that no one feels over- or underchallenged.
