BLISS RETREAT
19-22 June 2025
Upper Austria
A four-day experience in Upper Austria in early summer
When was the last time you danced under the stars, in awe of the vastness of the cosmos? When was the last time you forgot about your phone, responsibilities, worries, time, and space, and fully immersed yourself in the present moment? When did you last take a deep breath of crystal-clear mountain air? When was the last time you let go of all preconceived notions of yourself and simply existed?
If it has been a while, I have an invitation for you. Retreat with us onto the mountain for a unique multi-dimensional experience, around the time of the summer solstice, when nature reaches its climax. It will be a celebration of (your) life.
Going on a retreat can be one of the best things to do on your path. Even a short time can be a highly transformative experience.
Although it may seem wild to take a few days off and disconnect from technology and the world, it is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself. The benefits of a retreat are immeasurable. It has the potential to set your life on a completely new course or bring you back into alignment.

THE LOCATION
Our retreat will take place at Kreitalm, a charming chalet situated on a mountain between two lakes - Attersee and Traunsee - in the Salzkammergut region. The house is located in a serene environment, surrounded by nothing but lush forests and alpine meadows.
There will only be six women present, and we will have complete privacy to be as free, expressive and naked as we want without worrying about any onlookers (except for the cows, of course).
The chalet features a gorgeous newly renovated suite and terrace, where we will gather to practice. Additionally, there is a new sauna with a breathtaking view and an almfass, a hot tub that we can heat using firewood.
From the chalet's location, we can enjoy a beautiful view of the mountain range called Höllengebirge. At night, due to the location, it gets very dark, so the stars and the Milky Way are visible.
Why here?
It's no surprise that early Yogis retreated to the Himalayas to practice. The energy gets lighter as we ascend, and the spaciousness provides the ideal setting to expand one's consciousness.
I have been fortunate to travel to Asia, including the Himalayas and Thailand. However, as the years have passed, I have come to appreciate more and more the land of my birth. I grew up not far from where our retreat will take place, and I have hiked these mountains and swam in the surrounding lakes my entire life.
If you ask me, it is the most beautiful area in all of Austria. Bringing the teachings of the Eastern spiritual traditions to my homeland is very special to me and I would be honoured to have you come along on this journey.
THE PRACTICE
We have daily yoga sessions in the morning from 8 to 10:30 a.m., before brunch, and in the afternoon or evening, before or after dinner.
Outdoor or indoor, depending on the weather, but always with a view of the gorgeous mountain range.
Our practice will include various techniques such as breathing exercises, free movement, asanas, and deep relaxation methods inspired by the Tantric Yoga tradition. These tools are suitable for everyone, regardless of prior experience.
Please note that “tantric” does not necessarily refer to sexual practices but to the classic tantric life-affirming philosophy, in which nothing is excluded. We work with the senses, energies, emotions, and challenges to transform them into inner gold.
We will use carefully selected music for all of our practices too, as well as enjoy periods of silence.
We want to stay present and mindful during our free time, to experience each moment completely. You are welcome to disconnect from technology and go offline if you prefer.
WHAT IS BLISS?
Bliss is a state of deep contentment, joy, immense happiness, and pleasure - and much more than that.
We will explore the concept of bliss, or 'ananda', as described by the tantric masters through inquiry and our senses.
This is not a theoretical retreat or workshop, but rather an opportunity to gain experiential knowledge and let your mind rest for a bit.
We will take a look at the obstacles standing in the way of experiencing bliss in our lives and work to release resistance to it.
