Silent Meditation Retreat: Reconnect with Your Heart, Clarity & Inner Peace

Do you long for more peace, clarity, and connection with yourself?

I invite you to step out of everyday life for a few days and immerse yourself in the healing power of silence, meditation, and simplicity.

Together, we will spend this time at the monastery in Niederaltaich in Southern Germany, a special place of peace and contemplation directly on the banks of the Danube. Surrounded by nature, a quiet atmosphere, and plenty of space for retreat, an environment emerges where thoughts can soften and the inner voice becomes easier to hear again.

Throughout the retreat, we will practice conscious silence. Often, it is only in silence that we are able to truly breathe deeply, see more clearly, and return to ourselves.

You can expect daily meditations, gentle Hatha Yoga, breathwork and mindfulness practices, guided deep relaxation, as well as time for reflection, walks, and rest. All guided meditations, teachings, and group sessions are conducted in German.

The retreat weaves together elements of meditation, yoga, Advaita Vedanta, Buddhism, and Western contemplative traditions in a grounded, open, and non-dogmatic way. It is not about achieving or becoming anything. Rather, it is an invitation to slow down, let go, and step out of the constant mode of doing and functioning for a few days.

This retreat is for those who long for peace, clarity, slowing down, and a conscious pause from everyday life. After facilitating many retreats and groups in Mexico, Bali, and Germany, I am delighted to open this space once again at the monastery Niederaltaich.

I look forward to welcoming you.
