  4 days Yoga and Wellness Retreat

  I had 4 beautiful and special days at Gaia. Eran welcomes each person warmly, so a pleasant atmosphere is created very quickly. The house and the green surroundings also contribute to this atmosphere - it is very cosily furnished and as soon as you come in, there is the smell of freshly prepared tea.
  
  Eran is an excellent host and an extraordinary good and inspiring cook, who prepares and serves all the dishes with great dedication and love. I'm looking forward to recreating some of these dishes and incorporating them into my everyday cooking.
  
  The yoga classes were relaxing and exhausting and stretched my body well. Apart from the physical exercises, we talked a lot about yoga philosophy.
  
  During meditation, I especially enjoyed the mantra chanting and the atmosphere it created in the group.
  
  The sauna sessions provided rest and relaxation and rounded off the yoga practice.
  
  What was special about this retreat was the time spent together with the group, which consisted of 10 participants as well as Bea and Eran. There was a lively exchange, a lot of mutual support, serious conversations and a lot of laughter.
  
  
  Thank you for this special time!
  Much love
  Jessica

  Wonderful and recharging Retreat

  I was able to spend 4 wonderful days in Gaia. The house is very spacious and well maintained. The rooms are lovely and cozy. Eran is an exceptional host and lives for his vision of bringing people together and creating wonderful conditions for seminars and retreats. The food is very fresh, exceptional and everything is prepared and served by hand and is made with a lot of love. I didn't feel like a guest but at home. I really enjoyed the yoga and meditation sessions. With her qualifications, Bea is very confident in yoga practice, gives good adjustments and her calm and empathetic nature makes it simply fun. We were a diverse group of beginners to advanced and Bea treated each of us individually. I would love to come back

  Spiritual Journey at a Magnificient Place

  It was my second time at Gaia and I can strongly recommend the Meditation as well as the Yoga retreat. The whole compound is amazing, there is love in every single molecule -even the food is Eran's special gift of love to each hungry soul. It is so energizing to spend time at Gaia and if you like the feeling of being abroad (without leaving Germany-that's carbon friendly :D), having international exchange, getting to know yourself and others better, this is your place to be.
  Lots of love,
  Felix

  Extraordinary Experience

  My four-day meditation retreat in Gaia Retreat House in the heart of Germany was an extraordinary experience surrounded by tranquil nature ❤️ From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was serene and welcoming. The retreat organizer Eran and the trainer were warm and knowledgeable, making us feel immediately like at home. The daily schedule was well-structured, balancing periods of guided meditation, silent reflection, and insightful teachings on various meditation techniques.
  I learned to quiet my mind, focus my thoughts, and connect with a sense of inner peace that I hadn't experienced before. The natural surroundings added to the experience, with gentle breezes and bird songs enhancing the overall sense of tranquility.
  Definitely one of the highlights of the retreat was the delicious vegan meals that Eran prepared with love and care.
  One of the most profound moments of the retreat was the silent meditation walk through the forest. The connection to nature and the stillness of the surroundings deepened my practice and brought about a sense of oneness with the world around me.
  Overall, this four days of meditation were a transformative experience. I left feeling more centered, mindful, and equipped with practical meditation tools that I will continue to use in my daily life. I can't recommend this retreat enough to anyone seeking inner peace and personal growth in a beautiful natural setting. 🙏

  "A truly relaxing and enriching experience
  
  I had a very enriching experience because of - a very warm and open-minded host - a mindful instructor who gave many new insights for my yoga practice - an inspiring and lovely group - mind-blowing (!), super tasty food - quiet and great premises (with sauna) embedded in the nature - a well-organized program schedule.
  
  Next time I'll stay longer. Thanks so much for your hospitality and the great time."

  “Recharged with energy and received a lot of inspiration”

  ״The retreat was lovingly prepared; I felt seen as a person and warmly welcomed from the very beginning. The focus was meditation, I learned some new techniques and got a comprehensive insight into yoga meditation. With all of this, I have enough to develop my own individual meditation practice. During the retreat itself I was able to have intensive experiences with meditation. The teacher was very attentive and guided us with a lot of sensitivity. Each person in the group was given space to open up or withdraw if desired. The host provided us with culinary delicacies, the accommodation was cozy, clean and quiet. The area is a dream, the daily meditation walks were a pure blessing.״

  Großartige Erfahrung!!!

  Die Gastgeber Anat und Eran geben ihre ganze Fürsorge und Liebe den Gästen. Das Gaia Haus liegt inmitten der Natur des Geo-Naturpark Frau-Holle-Land und man ist in kurzer Zeit im Wald zum Wandern. Erschöpft und ausgebrannt kam ich zum "Meditation with Yoga" Retreat an und hatte das vegane Essen eher als "kann sicher nicht schaden" eingeplant. Aber da kannte ich Eran noch nicht. Er zaubert von morgens bis abends - in seiner Kochschürze und aus seinem beeindruckenden Kühlschrank - viele Köstlichkeiten und erzählt von Israel und der Liebe zur Gastfreundschaft "... with much love ...". Love ist das allgegenwärtige Credo und die Besitzer Eran und Anat sind die Seele ihres Gaia Hauses. Diese Liebe lässt Eran auch durch den Magen gehen! Erholt von der Praxis und der Lehre des für den Retreat bestellten liebevollen und kompetenten Yogi, dazu mit neuen Freunden und neuen Rezepten fuhr ich nach Hause. Das Gaia House ist einfach mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Auch der ÖPNV funktioniert, wie ich es von anderen erfahren habe.

  Thank you Gaia House!!

  I am so grateful for my time at Gaia House. From the first communication with Eran, I already felt warmly received. I was looking for a retreat very last minute, and he generously welcomed me as a last minute addition to the group. The directions were excellent, which made getting there fresh off the plane from the Frankfurt airport easy. I was delighted to find myself landing in such a calm, structured, warm place, amidst a fabulous small group of fellow retreat-seekers. The territory that we opened up together through yoga sessions with Bea was remarkable - far beyond what (any of us, perhaps) expected. The food that Eran lovingly prepared was utterly delicious and so nourishing. Thank you Gaia House and all the wonderful folks there for the meaningful re-grounding :)

  Excellent!!

  Amazing experience and something I would carry with me for a long time! Eran & Bea are wonderful, so warm and really made us feel at home. The food was also the most delicious vegan options one could ask for. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a meaningful break and to meet other like minded people! I’m so grateful that I was able to do this💛

  Absolutely amazing experience!

  Starting from the moment Eran invites you through the door into his lovely home. The immediate sense of calmness embraces you…and remains with you throughout your stay. Bae, our yoga instructor was amazing as well; her knowledge and individual attention she provided were superb. Eran’s hospitality makes you feel incredibly welcome and relaxed…and last but definitely not least, the beautiful meals he creates definitely come from a place of love and unity…which is what one share sitting at his well-prepared table surrounded by his amazing food creations. The attention to detail he provides to ensure his guests feel special is excellent. Highly recommend this retreat!

  Amazing Experience

  It was my first retreat and so I had mixed feelings before joining. This however turned out to be an amazing and unforgettable experience!
  Gaia house is built into nature, Eran is the best host and cooks everything with love, Ytamar is the most calm and sweet meditation teacher. Everyone who joined the group were really helpful, happy and positive people. The 4 days of retreat felt like heaven!! I would do this again :)

  I still think about it all the time!

  My mom and I spent time at the Gaia retreat house for a yoga retreat. We had such an amazing time! Eran makes the place feel like home. He cooks delicious vegan food better than I have ever had. For every meal everyone comes together and sits at one big table which allows everyone to bond. I was so happy that Bea (the yoga instructor) and Eran also joined us.
  
  You could tell that Bea puts so much love into her classes. She took the time to talk to everyone individually to make sure she knows everyone’s hopes and needs going into the class.
  
  I would definitely recommend this place❤️

  Wonderful retreat, highly recommend

  This was my first and definitely not last mediation retreat. Gaia is a cozy place in the middle of nature, where you can relax and restore your energy. Eran is an amazing host and cook, who made us feel very welcome and prepared delicious vegan food for us. Ytamar is very kind and teaches meditation with passion. I loved the practice sessions and the hikes with him. The program in general had the perfect balance between useful information, practice and free time.
  Overall, the time at Gaia exceeded my expectations. I met very nice people from different places over the world and learnt a lot about meditation techniques and also about myself. It was the perfect place to get off from busy everyday life and recharge. I recommend it very much.

Eran’s hospitality is second to none (plus cooks the best food imaginable), and the beautiful location makes this retreat truly like no other. You will leave this place with a renewed vigour for life and practical ways to incorporate peace and love into everyday life."
