A retreat you can take home with you

Our retreats typically last 1–2 weeks. If you are unable to stay for the full period, you may shorten your stay by arranging a private taxi transfer to the train station.

The heart of this retreat lies in digital detox, close contact with nature, silence, freedom from social expectations, and the support of a uniquely safe atmosphere. Together, these elements give the nervous system space to soften, rest, and gradually settle into a deeper connection with the self — a process that often needs time and spaciousness to unfold naturally.

Connection to the self is not a luxury; it is the foundation of wellness. It helps us notice what depletes us, what we truly need, and what kind of life feels genuinely our own. When life is guided by inner truth rather than only external demands, greater clarity, peace, and deep fulfillment become possible. Strengthening this connection takes time.

Perhaps the greatest gift of this retreat is uninterrupted time and space for yourself. It sounds simple, yet in everyday life, creating that kind of openness can be surprisingly difficult.

Even when we know we need rest, inner restlessness, constant performance, the endless pull of phones, responsibilities, and the needs of others can keep us in a state of alertness. The nervous system becomes so used to continual doing that slowing down may even feel uncomfortable.

That is why a retreat offers more than rest — it offers permission to let go. Permission to simply be, for a while, without goals, roles, or the need to constantly respond.

Discover your unique recipe for wellness

This retreat is not only a pause from everyday life. It is a chance to remember what truly matters and return to the basics of human needs.

As you slow down and begin to observe how you really feel, you start to recognize the small things that genuinely support your connection to yourself and are essential for your wellbeing.

Before the retreat ends, you can choose and create a simple plan for which insights and routines you would like to bring into your daily life — and how.

Good intentions are valuable, but we strongly encourage turning them into action through a concrete plan and personal commitment.

The therapeutic retreat manual serves as a treasure chest of practices to explore different ways of supporting your wellbeing:

deepening your connection with yourself through writing, reflection, and mindfulness
emotional and body-awareness practices, exercise, and time in nature
discovering a sleep and rest rhythm that works for you
allowing yourself silence and personal space, without needing to hold space for others
nourishing food and eating rhythms that help keep your energy balanced
healthier digital habits and more conscious use of technology
small daily rituals that support a more balanced life
and sometimes surprising little things that can have a profound impact

The aim is not to transform your lifestyle perfectly overnight, but to discover a few things that truly feel like your own.

A gentle invitation to turn inward — together and supported

Set in a naturally beautiful, home-like haven, this retreat offers a completely pressure-free atmosphere, known for its warmth, welcome, and acceptance.

Daily life is gently organized as a shared experience, yet remains entirely free of pressure:

breakfast and lunch are prepared at your own pace using the house ingredients and recipe book
dinner is prepared in turns or together, with the arrangement agreed on Monday
everyone simply cleans up after themselves and cares for shared spaces in their own way, without performance or pressure

In addition, the retreat includes:

a personal welcome, orientation, and the shared start of the retreat and digital fast
self-guided activities and therapeutic exercises from the retreat manual
the option to book individual wellness treatments for deeper relaxation and letting go

Experience the impact of zero pressure

Here, your mind and nervous system are given the chance for holistic rest — from speaking, from digital devices, from other sensory stimulation such as noise or artificial light, from social demands, from schedules, and from the pressure to perform.

As you soften, repressed thoughts and emotions may begin to surface. Connection to the self can then appear as a return to the body, renewed contact with forgotten feelings, awareness of personal needs, clearer hearing of your own thoughts, and a more honest view of your life: what it looks like, how it feels, and where you want to go next.

Time is also given for processing life experience and working through challenges through intuitive reflection, reflective reading, reflective writing, and the exercises in the therapeutic retreat manual.

Silence creates space for your inner truth to be heard. It allows rest for the nervous system, intimate time with yourself, freedom from social expectations, awareness of feelings, a more sensitive opening of the senses, a deeper connection with the surrounding nature, and a natural alignment of mind and body with nature’s rhythm.
