The Mind-Body-Day

The Mind-Body Day is a day retreat in nature. A reflection time for body, mind and soul that takes place in the wonderful TreeHouse in the Allgäu region. 

The supporting program with Strala and Yin Yoga, varied meditation and mindfulness techniques and insights into various healing traditions forms the framework for this day. There is space for more connection, ease and growth in community with a healthy balance of individual free time to use this day to retreat, for fresh inspiration and to recharge your own resources. Everyone is invited to to choose the needed amount of individual time and being together in community on this day. 

In our time together we use the yoga units and forms of meditation in stillness and movement to naturally feel good in our body and to bring clarity to our mind. There is room for intensive exchange and sharing in the group and in one-on-one discussions to explore new spaces for personal growth. 

The special feature of this day retreat lies not at least in the place where it takes place. Special spaces and nature have been impactful vehicles for us humans since the beginning of time, allowing us to experience original forms of connection and to express your creativity and inspiration. The TreeHouse in the Allgäu region is the perfect place for this.

About the TreeHouse

The TreeHouse is a place where people come together to develop projects, forge concepts and create something new together. 

According to the principle 'Leave a footprint that matters', holistic thinking and living is practice here. 

Artists, musicians, choreographers, dancers, writers, filmmakers, directors, actors, and also scientists and experts for alternative healing methods, well-being and mindfulness create, live and experience together. The essence of the place lies in the interdisciplinary exchange. 

It is also a place where people can bring or practice awareness into their lives. Through the practice of meditation, body work, healthy nutrition and permaculture, awareness is raised organically. 

As part of the Mind-Body Day, the yoga and meditation units will take place in the spacious studio of the owner and artist Maximilian Magnus. For free times during the day, both the studio with the many oases of tranquility and the spacious garden invite you to truly retreat. 

About Strala Yoga, Yin Yoga and Meditation

Strala Yoga uses the basic principles of yoga, tai chi and traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine and brings ease and softness into how we move and how we are. 

Yin Yoga uses gentle, sustained positions that allow the tensions, experiences and emotions stored deep within our bodies to be looked at and released with acceptance and gentleness.

Meditation comes in many different forms. With the aim of bringing space and quality into and between our thoughts, we practice easily implementable forms of meditation and mindfulness exercises.

Special Participation

There is an opportunity for one person each to participate as a Gratitude participant and as a Helping Hands participant. Please decide on your own responsibility whether you want to apply for this position. These participations can only be granted once in order to make access possible for other people again and again.

Gratitude Participant

Gratitude is one of the most important values for me and I can experience how gratitude creates the most beautiful things in life. I would like to share my gratitude with someone in this way. If you would like to be part of this day retreat, maybe you can use it particularly well at the moment, but don't have the financial means, you can register as a gratitude participant for the retreat and pay for what works. Perhaps also in the currency of gratitude, which is sometimes worth more than every euro.

Helping Hands Participant

This participation is for people who are interested in going behind the scenes of a retreat organization and teaching and who know and enjoy the joy of helping. The helping hands will be rewarded with a participant price reduced by half. Participation in all program points of the day is guaranteed as a helping hand and there will also be time to look around in between.
