MEDITATION PROGRAM

Our guided practices will seamlessly integrate Mindfulness Meditation and intentional Journaling to deepen the transformative experience.

May this retreat be a celebration, a time to honor your achievements, and an opportunity to set intentions for the beautiful paths that lie ahead of you.
ART WORKSHOPS
CLAY
Immerse yourself in the art of ceramics through a hand-building workshop, where the dance with clay becomes a metaphor for grounding oneself in the rhythms of nature and play. This clay workshop, designed for all skill levels, beckons you to revel in the magic of this earthy medium, allowing your hands to shape an experience rather than a rigid outcome. You'll receive a designated amount of clay to craft beautiful ceramics. Depending on the size of your creations, you'll either have one large art piece or several smaller ones. We'll handle the firing process in Salzburg, Austria, and you can choose to pick up your pieces or have them securely shipped to your home.
PAINTING
Meet us beneath the trees for an abstract painting class—a seamless integration of creativity and mindfulness. Furnished with canvas, acrylic paints, and an arsenal of tools, you'll be gently guided through the meditative act of allowing paint to touch blank space intuitively. We invite you to let go of expectations and allow this to be an exploration and physical manifestation of the transformative energy moving through your being during this retreat. You'll receive a 30x40 cm canvas to paint on which you can take home right after the retreat.
Good to know: We provide all the tools and materials for both the clay and the painting workshop. You don’t have to bring anything.
PLANT-BASED FOOD
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.
Every evening we will serve you a plant-based dinner, designed to enchant your palate with compassionate flavors that celebrate nature's bounty. Immerse yourself in the delight of each thoughtfully crafted dish, a testament to our commitment to both your well-being and the planet.

FAQS
What level of yoga?
Yoga is for everyone from beginners to advanced practitioners. Please let us know of any injuries or special medical conditions before our first day of meeting. We'll observe and suggest adjustments to your pose according to your physical needs. You are free to tailor the practice to suit your needs and we are here to talk about your practice anytime.
What level is the clay workshop?
The ceramics workshop is for all levels! It is led with the understanding that some students have never touched clay and others are more experienced. We focus on basic techniques and allow space for guided individual expression and creativity.
What level is the painting workshop?
Our painting workshop is also created for all levels. You will be provided with all of the tools and guidance necessary to complete your own artwork, in a peaceful and safe space. For us, it’s not about a perfect outcome, but rather about the beauty of the creative process. We celebrate everyone’s unique approach and experience!
What do I need to bring for the clay and painting workshop?
Nothing! All materials will be provided as part of your retreat experience.
Can I take my art pieces home?
After our painting workshop, art pieces simply need to dry and they’ll be ready to transport home. That means that you’ll leave the retreat with a painting that you can hang in your home or gift to a loved one! When it comes to ceramic, due to the nature of the medium, the pieces will need to dry and be fired, so they will stay with us until they are finished. Your clay pieces will be ready for pick up within 3-4 weeks. If you are not located in Vienna we can ship to your home location. We hope you understand that costs for shipment will need to be covered by you.
What Languages do you speak?
Yoga and clay classes are held in English but everything can be explained in German.
Is it ok to come to the reteat alone?
Yes! We welcome you just as you are, no matter whether you come with a friend or on your own. It’s not uncommon for participants to arrive solo and leave with new friends.
