7 Day Zen & Qigong Retreat in Southern Germany

The 7 Day Zen & Qigong Retreat in Southern Germany is a holistic immersion into the ancient wisdom of Zen Buddhism and Qigong, the Chinese practice of aligning breath, movement, and awareness for health and meditation. At its core, this retreat is about cultivating a sense of presence and inner harmony, allowing you to shed the stresses of daily life and rediscover your natural state of wellbeing.

Our philosophy is rooted in simplicity and authenticity. We believe that true transformation comes from consistent, mindful practice in a supportive environment. To this end, we have designed a daily schedule that balances structured sessions with ample time for personal reflection and relaxation. Mornings typically begin with gentle Qigong to awaken the body, followed by periods of seated Zen meditation (Zazen). Afternoons may include guided walking meditations through the lush Bavarian countryside, workshops on breathing techniques, or discussions on integrating mindfulness into everyday life.

The retreat is led by experienced instructors who are passionate about sharing the benefits of these ancient practices. Their guidance is approachable and personalized, making the retreat suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners. Whether you are looking to deepen your meditation practice, alleviate stress, or simply enjoy a peaceful getaway, this retreat offers the perfect opportunity to slow down, look inward, and emerge with a renewed sense of purpose and vitality.
