New yin yoga event.
Alpaca and yoga friends, beware!
We are pleased to announce a new summer event. We are going to practice yoga together on our meadow with our almost 100 alpacas this summer.
In calm yin yoga positions, we will be able to watch the lovely alpacas grazing and enjoy the silence. By experience, the curious alpacas will come very close 🙂
The yoga class is for beginners as well as for experienced yoga practitioners.

THE WEEKEND RETREAT – YIN YOUR MIND – EVERYTHING STARTS WITH YOURSELF
The next retreat will be in March. Please find the dates below.
“The best way to take care of the future is to take care of the present moment.”
Thich Nhat Hanh
We invite you to spend a weekend completely being in touch with yourself. You will experience time for mindfulness, being in the here and now. You will have the opportunity to gain strength through gentle yin yoga classes and to slow down by meditation. A weekend without anyone expecting anything from you and without any obligation on your part. Reward yourself with an inner smile.
What will you expect with us?
- Two nights stay in the beautiful Münsterland
- Qualified yin yoga classes and mindfulness meditations in a small private group (maximum 8 participants)
- Vegetarian/vegan, organic food, (as far as possible) regional cuisine, including drinks
- Healthy sleeping in our cozy alpaca duvets in stylishly furnished rooms (double rooms, also bookable as single rooms). The spacious, new bathroom is situated right next to the rooms
- Close encounter with the peaceful, friendly alpacas (including a mindful walk with these tame animals)
- First insights into alpaca keeping and care (incl. feeding)
- Fresh, healthy tea and fruits, available at any time during the day
Just bring some comfortable sportswear and weatherproof, warm outdoor clothing (including sturdy shoes) and slippers.
You can check in on Friday at 7 p.m. (please note that there will be some healthy snacks prepared for you on that evening. A more substantial dinner is not planned.) The weekend will end on Sunday at about 1 p.m.
The participation fee for the whole weekend, including meals is EUR 335 per person, sharing a double room and EUR 385 per person when you arrive on your own and want to have a single room.

PAST EVENTS:
Yin yoga weekend on the first Advent of 2017
A beautiful and mindful weekend lies behind us.
Between Friday and Sunday, our participants and we have permitted the world to go on spinning without us for a while. During these days, we had no tasks, no to-do lists to accomplish, and we did not have to prove anything to anyone. We were just there for ourselves.
Friday in the early evening, we came together for a wholesome vegan meal, which was aligned to the “5 elements doctrine”. The comfortable atmosphere in our common seminar house gave us the feeling of being right at home.
The atmosphere during the weekend was very familiar because of the small group of 6 persons (max. number of participants 8). Also, the time spent outdoors together with the gentle alpacas was wonderful. The beautiful scenery of the Münsterland helps everyone to escape from everyday life.
But let’s not anticipate too much. We invite everyone interested in participating to join in this unique, mindful experience. Our next retreat is already scheduled for the end of January. We are very much looking forward to accompanying you again soon.
