Enjoy an inspiring handpan retreat in Stolzenhagen, where music, movement, and deep relaxation come together in a peaceful setting.

This retreat in Stolzenhagen gives you the chance to discover the magic of the instrument or take your current skills to the next level. The program is complemented by morning yoga and meditation sessions offered by the seminar house, creating a harmonious balance for body and mind.

Your accommodation is set amid an idyllic landscape, surrounded by lakes, forests, and wide meadows. During your free time, you can swim in the lake, take gentle walks in nature, or simply unwind at the guesthouse and enjoy the calm atmosphere.

Meals are vegetarian, regional, and organic, freshly prepared, well-balanced, and cooked with great care and love.

In two daily handpan sessions, you will deepen your technique, musicality, and joy of playing—without pressure and at your own pace.

This retreat is ideal for beginners and those with a little prior experience.

No previous knowledge is required, and you do not need to bring your own instrument—a handpan will be provided on site.

If you would like to bring your own handpan, it should be a D Kurd tuned to 440 Hz.

What to expect

Immerse yourself in the distinctive sound of the handpan and discover how music can inspire movement.

Step by step, you will find your personal rhythm, your sense of flow, and a feeling of ease.

In guided sessions, you will playfully learn how to connect rhythm and timing, understand structures and patterns, and, with the proven MalteMartenMethod, find your way into a natural playing flow.

You will explore different tonal colors and dynamics, shape your own expression, and let small motifs grow into complete melodies. Space for improvisation and composition invites you to develop your own ideas—both on your own and in group play. During jamming together, moments of joy, deep connection, and musical vitality emerge.
