The Program
The program starts on Thursday April 18th at 5.30pm with the first yoga session (arrival possible from 3.00pm) and ends after lunch on Sunday April 21st at 3.00pm.
We start every morning with yogic breath work that cleanses the body on the physical and energetic level and awakens our spirits. After breakfast we then flow through dynamic Vinyasa Yoga sequences that strengthen the body and leave us feeling energized and balanced. We build the sequences step-by-step learning about the alignment that allows the energies in our body to flow freely and release great healing potential.
Experience a variety of beautiful practices:
1x 90 minute gentle flow yoga and mediation (arrival evening)
3x 90 minute morning yoga: dynamic flow
3x 45 minute early morning breathwork + meditation
2x 90 min afternoon yoga: gentle flow, yin yoga, yoga nidra, sound bath, journalling
In the dynamic Vinyasa classes we focus on different areas of the body, our energy centers and the aspects of our live they relate to, exploring the connection between the body and the mind. Building the poses and sequences step-by-step we offer open practice that are accessible, interesting and nourishing for all levels.
In the afternoons we indulge in the healing practices of soothing Yin Yoga for deep tissue release and dive deep into guided meditation (Yoga Nidra). Exploring our inner landscapes with reflections and journalling we not only create beautiful moments but also lasting memories and imprints for us to go home inspired and with new input and tools for our every day life.
Surrendering into the healing vibrations of sound, you'll be nourished with a crystal bowl sound bath and mantra singing.
Classes are held in English unless all the participants speak German.
The Place
The Breitenteicher Mühle is located in a nature reserve next to the biosphere reserve Schorfheide-Chorin, 90 km north of Berlin. A holistic approach played a decisive role in the planning and conversion of the historic mill into a retreat center. The mill building was restored under consideration of the protection of historical monuments using regionally usual ecological building materials. Green electricity is generated by the water power of the river Welse using a water wheel with generator. The farm's own water supply and ecological wastewater treatment ensure that it can also exist independently of other suppliers. Overall, the property has a positive energy balance.
The seminar house in the water mill is a home for seminars which are dedicated to personal development and growth and a place of concentration and positive mind and body work.
The Accommodation
The Breitenteicher Mühle consists of two lovingly renovated buildings: the large old mill and the former smaller miller´s house. The old mill contains six double rooms and three bathrooms, so two double rooms are sharing one bathroom. In the miller´s house you can find more double rooms as well as one large double room with a private bathroom and a very spacious shared room with four beds with its own bathroom.
With a cozy ambience, perfectly restored bathrooms and beautifully furnished rooms the traditional architecture is combined with a sophisticated interior design. All the rooms have single beds which can be put together for couples.
The Food
Our retreat includes full board breakfast, lunch and dinner. Throughout the retreat the kitchen prepares homemade vegetarian and vegan organic food, mainly using regional products. The fruit and berry garden with beekeeping as well as a vegetable garden make a self-sufficiency possible to a limited extent. We are happy to say that after many retreats in this beautiful place, everyone has always loved the food and named it as one of the highlights, not having to worry about food and being so well taken care of!
We accommodate all nutritional preferences, please inform us upon booking about any allergies.
