CLAY

WORKSHOPS

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.

Good to know: We provide all the tools and materials for both the clay workshops. You don’t have to bring anything.

 
 

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 by Himmel & Erde, 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

  1. 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.

  2. What level is the clay workshops?

    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.

  3. What do I need to bring for the clay workshops?

    Nothing! All materials will be provided as part of your retreat experience.

  4. Can I take my clay pieces home?

    Due to the nature of clay, 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 in about for 4 weeks. If you are not located in Salzburg we can ship to your home location. We hope you understand that costs for shipment will need to be covered by you.

  5. What Languages do you speak?

    Yoga and Clay classes are held in English but everything can be explained in German.

  6. Is it ok to come to the retreat 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.
