OPEN TO BLISS
– RETREAT

Step into the embrace of tranquility at Seminarhaus Taubenblau, our sanctuary nestled just an hour away from Berlin. This cherished haven, exclusively reserved for our yoga retreat, welcomes you with
open arms to embark on a transformative journey.

Immerse yourself in our serene yoga space, where sunlight dances through expansive windows, casting a warm glow on the room’s inviting ambiance. With a crackling fireplace as our companion and verdant garden views as our backdrop, each yoga session becomes a soulful communion with nature.

As the weather permits, we’ll take our practice outdoors to the spacious covered wooden terrace, where the fresh breeze whispers secrets of the magical fall season. Here, under the vast expanse of the sky, we’ll flow through asanas and savor nourishing meals together, surrounded by the symphony of birdsong and rustling leaves.

Retreat to your sanctuary each night—modern, minimalist bedrooms designed for deep rest and rejuvenation. And in the heart of our retreat, the communal kitchen, Chef Freya gratis culinary delights using the finest local ingredients, infusing each dish with love and vitality. Our location invites you to unwind, reconnect, and rediscover the bliss of being.
