In their retreats, Monika Bauer and Josef Rother combine their individual strengths with many years of practice. With deep dedication, Josef invites guests into mindful nature experiences, blending inspiring hikes with profound meditative moments. Together, they create space for genuine relaxation and a vibrant connection to the natural world.
As an economic geographer and organizational developer, I support cities and regions in building greater sustainability. Born in Cologne in 1963, the Alpine foothills are my spiritual home, and I return there again and again, both for work and for hiking. Convinced that our future depends on our relationship with nature, I have been guiding hiking groups on a part-time basis since 2011.
The hiking I lead helps you feel your body more fully and encourages a conscious encounter with nature. My aim is to foster a connection with nature through all the senses and to experience yourself as an integral part of it. My insights into the landscape invite wonder, while meditative impulses and periods of silence deepen the experience.
