What to expect
What if softness isn’t weakness, but strength?
In our soft cocoon retreats you’re held safe and gentle so you can soften the armor, listen inward, and meet yourself with more honesty and care.
❋ YOGA PRACTICE
Yoga is more than a physical movement on the mat. In our retreat you will experience Yoga in different ways: in a physical way by practicing a dynamic & strong flow in the morning to wake up yourself and a calming way in the evening to slow down your system. You will learn to use the breath in a mindful supporting way and you will explore the strength of your inner conscious. All levels are welcome.
❋ COMMUNITYWe will support your stay with a nourishing workshop for your body & mind to take the outcome home. We also invite you for a community circle where we will sing and journal together.
❋ NOURISHMENTYou’ll be served lovingly prepared vegetarian and vegan meals in organic quality: in the morning a rich, wholesome brunch and in the evening a warm, seasonal three-course dinner. Fresh snacks and drinks are available throughout the day, allowing you to listen to your body and eat in your own rhythm.
❋ FREE TIMEDuring the day you will have time for the things which serve you in that exact moment: like a walk in nature, to read a book, to sleep, to knit, to go into the sauna. Allow your self to be in the moment and to enjoy whatever makes you happy.
The Retreat Location - Friedrichshof
Held by the quiet beauty of the Mecklenburg Lake District,
this is a place to soften, slow down, and simply be. A space that gently holds you like a cocoon.
The house itself is calm and minimal, filled with natural light and a sense of clarity. Warm materials, open views, and carefully designed spaces create an environment that doesn’t overwhelm but gently holds.
The light-filled main house opens into a green garden, with a spacious living and dining area for shared meals and quiet moments. A bright, 90 sqm practice room invites us to practice Yoga with the view into the wide nature, while the sauna with garden views offers deep relaxation.
Surrounded by forests, fields, and lakes, nature becomes part of the experience whether through quiet walks, bike rides, or time on the water.
A place to soften.
A place to simply be.
This weekend doesn’t ask anything from you.
It simply offers a space for you to soften, to unfold, and to reconnect with what is already there.
