Retreat location
Gärtnerei Freuden Lindenallee 13 03205 Calau (Reuden)
In 2008 a young couple moved away from the city, establishing Hof Freuden. They restored the buildings, designing a hall for yoga and dance, and adding playful elements such as a fire place for relaxing and stargazing, a hot tub, a trampoline, table tennis set up - the perfect match for your renewal.
The simplicity and solitude, the amazing garden with fresh vegetables and surrounding lakes create the perfect setting for holistic rejuvenation.
When you arrive here, you feel like time slows down and you can begin to let go.
Food
The retreat features 3 nourishing vegetarian meals per full day: brunch, picnic / snack and dinner (optional: vegan, gluten- or lactose-free).
If you have any allergies or intolerances, please let us know in advance.
