The Experience
We are a small modern monastery and a meditation & retreat center located near Hamburg, Germany. The center provides an environment to meditate, go inwards, calm down, and reconnect with oneself. It is a place of stillness and peace, and perfectly suited for experienced meditators who might enjoy the natural surrounding. We need your help with light gardening work. Everyone in the house also needs to do a little bit of cleaning/housekeeping.

Words cannot express the inner process that I had experienced in the house. The location is great, quiet and surrounded by nature. Working hours can be heavy on special occasions but understandable for whoever had worked on hospitality previously - but also super light on other days, so it balanced quite well. Hosts are always reachable and super kind and helpful. Food is always available and the cats were the gem of the house. As well as the guests are extremely friendly, we had shared several conversations. The garden was definitely my favorite place. Thank you very much for the experience

Based on the description, the Center was exactly what I was looking for. The place, the hosts, the tasks and everything that is offered and asked for meet the description precisely. The experience was above and beyond expectations. While the spaces around the house are cared for with attention to detail and some tasks need to be done within a schedule to welcome guests, the hosts make sure they can accomodate your needs, making you feel at home and giving you privacy. I got so much from the meditations and peaceful athmosphere in the Center. Thank you, Maria and Antje!

This wonderful place is perfectly tailored to what you need for your inner self and only you will know that when it is a time to take a break from your journey but especially for yourself. It is a retreat place where the activities to do depend on your abilities, you should know that the internet is not available in the evenings at bedtime until breakfast, we meditate every day 2 times, we share breakfast together. You will be able to share with wonderful human beings whom I carry in my heart and in my memories (Maria, Anke, Antje) and 3 beautiful cats 😍.. See you in the universe Thank you

What it is: It is an opportunity to get away from routine and practice meditation. What it is not: It is not an opportunity to socialize or integrate into the local culture. (This depends on the ability to socialize, but these are not activities that are prioritized as part of this experience.) In my experience, it is also not a suitable place to work on the computer or create. The best way to get the most out of this experience is to do it as what it is—a RETREAT, with the purpose of reducing activities to a minimum and spending time with yourself.
