As it is our style, we offer mindfulness, yoga and holiday components in this 4-day retreat. There will be guided mindfulness meditation sessions, guided forest therapy walks (Shinrin-yoku), and fun outings to iconic places in this area of the black forest. All in a supportive, family like and enriching group setting, where we create an atmosphere conducive for you to connect with the beauty, wisdom and healing of nature.
- Do you need some time away from the hassle and buzzle of your everyday life to pause and recharge?
- Do you want to listen to your heart and find out how to be more kind and loving to yourself?
- Do you want to learn how to apply nature exercises in your everyday life?
Come join us and find out how mindfulness in nature can deepen your meditation practice, your connection with nature as a healing place, ultimately enhancing your overall well-being!
Venue:
Mönchs Waldhotel, Unterreichenbach – Germany
Featuring the iconic “Baumwipfelpfad Schwarzwald”
1.2 km long treetop boardwalk up to 20 meters high. Its highlight is the 40 meter high, spiral, lookout tower with tube slide inside it. Once you reach its uppermost platform, you will be rewarded with a beautiful 360 degree view of the vast, thick Black Forest. Taking the slide down is a must!
In addition to the treetop walk and the tower, we will also visit the “Wildline”, hanging bridge and the “Sommerbergbahn”, cable car from the town of Bad Wildbad to the top of Sommerberg mountain.
