We spend so much time being busy and doing things that we sometimes forget how to take a break, slow down, and simply be. The Japanese concept of Ma describes a pause in time, an interval or emptiness in space. Ma is the time and space life needs to breathe, to feel and connect. If we have no time, if our space is restricted, we cannot grow. This universal principle applies to every aspect of life. Together, we will create a space in between – a space to pause, to move, to breathe, to feel and to listen within.
As we move into summer, this retreat allows us to pause and harness the magic of transition for ourselves.
You’re invited to come as you are and reconnect to your true being. The breath connecting mind and body, a powerful bridge to unlock the wisdom our body holds for us.
We prepared a finely curated program for you, combining Jivamukti yoga, breathwork and meditation, aiming to strengthen and soften.
Inspired by the chakra system, our practices will allow us to open, clear and energise. So you can come back to you.
We’ll start the mornings with Jivamukti Yoga. Classes will be fuelled by passionately curated playlists, chanting, dharma and of course vigorous asana practice. Our afternoon practice will focus on the breath. We will explore pranayama and breathwork techniques, allowing us to experience and understand our bodies in a different way.
Katharina Seeger
Katharina is an advanced certified Jivamukti Yoga Teacher. She is curious, creative and always interested in building connection.
In her classes, you can expect dynamic asana, carefully curated playlists, along with mantra, breathing exercises, and hands-on assists. Throughout, there is a focus on connecting to philosophy, exploring alignment, and diving into meditation techniques. Her classes blend challenging asana practice with spirituality, helping people reconnect with their essence. If you want to take a class with Katharina, you can practice with her in Cologne and online.
Katharina discovered Jivamukti Yoga in 2011, has been studying the method ever since and teaching for more than ten years. A few years ago she discovered breathwork and decided to train with Christine Schmid and Connie Biesalski, so she could make the power of breathing accessible for others.
In a series of three workshops, Caro will take you on a culinary journey that will provide a chance to acquire essential kitchen skills and insights. With her background in vegan cooking and holistic health these workshops offer you a unique opportunity to explore the synergy of delectable plant-based cuisine and well-being. While delving into some of Caro’s favorite recipes, you’ll find your culinary creativity stimulated throughout the entire retreat.
Taste and Flavor
Discover how you can refine everyday dishes and give them bold, dynamic flavors using simple techniques. In this workshop, you will learn how to make flavored oils, create versatile sauces and dressings, and use spices and herbs to their full potential.
Preserving, Pickling, and Fermenting
We will learn five different methods of preservation. These techniques help retain nutrients, intensify flavors, and allow you to enjoy seasonal produce year-round. Additionally, you will reduce food waste and save money.
Pasta Making: Hands-On Experience
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to easily make fresh, homemade pasta in the Italian style. Together, we will prepare three different types of pasta and dive deep into the art of pasta-making.
