Slow down and relax. During our stay we will practice Vinyasa Flow in the mornings and Yin Yoga in the evenings. Our practice will be guided by mindfulness meditation and journaling.

Complementary Journaling helps us to focus on the positive and important things in life through targeted notebook entries.

& EARTH CONNECT


Letting go of expectations. Finding inspiration within.

It is your time to play with a material sourced from the ground. Take your time with every move and pinch to discover shapes and forms you haven’t had in mind before. There is space to fail and start over from scratch. A space free of judgment or mistakes. Letting time and creation flow like water. As the mind tends to wander the active touch of the material keeps you in the present. 

During our time together we will focus on the creative process, experience, trying different techniques and learning about the material. 

Trust and inspiration are the most valuable pieces you can bring home and nourish your future self with.

Clay is wet.

Clay is solid.

Clay is flexible.

Clay is dry.

Clay is fragile.

Clay is rigid.

The characteristics of clay can be contradicting and so can yours.

Please note: Due to the limited time we have together, we will not fire the clay pieces in Obertrum. You can choose a glaze from our selection and we will glaze and fire them in Vienna. If you are not located in Vienna we can ship your pieces to your home location. We hope you understand that costs for shipment will need to be covered by you.

FOOD

TO SLOW DOWN


Throughout your stay breakfast will be included. You'll be served delicious and well-balanced healthy and plant-based food from local producers to prepare you for the day ahead. Feel nourished and at the same time light enough to focus on your inner self.

Breakfast is served at ground level in the communal kitchen. Wake up to the activating smell and taste with a fresh cup of "Kaffee vom See", enjoy natural teas from "Sonnentor", organic muesli creations from "Zagler Müslibär" & local nuts from “Trumerseen Nuss”. On top of that, you are served with homemade oat milk from the Trumer Privatbrauerei and local fruit.

Celebrate your breakfast or your first coffee in the morning directly in the kitchen, in the adjoining room, outside in the magic garden or in private on your comfortably covered balcony to catch some sun.

For all the other meals such as lunch and dinner we have lots of lovely recommendations for you. Have a traditional austrian meal or a delicious italian pizza just around the corner.
