“You must find a new way of living, a new way of acting, to find out what love means. And to find that out you cannot use the old instruments that we have... They have their value at certain levels of existence but no value when we are trying to find a way of living which is totally new.”

– J. Krishnamurti

This retreat offers a unique opportunity to step away from the demands of daily life and delve into deep self-inquiry in a tranquil, nurturing environment. Set amidst the serene beauty of an old monastery in Germany, the retreat fosters inner relaxation, clarity, and stillness, creating space for profound exploration and transformation.

Through shared inquiry, silence, and compassionate presence, we will reflect on fundamental questions of life:

Can we live free from past conditioning, fears, and repetitive patterns of thought? How do we meet loneliness and emptiness without escape? What is true inner freedom beyond habitual reactions? Why do we suffer, and can psychological suffering end? What is love free from attachment, jealousy, and possessiveness? How can we awaken fresh inner resources for a new way of living?

This retreat is not about accumulating knowledge but about letting go and exploring with openness and care. Together, we aim to move from fear-based living to conscious, presence-based living, rediscovering a life of joy, harmony, and love.

We warmly invite you to join us on this journey of self-discovery and transformation.
