A Quiet Retreat Week at Little Paradise near Hamburg

The freedom to balance solitude with shared meditation gives this stay its appeal. A spacious meditation room and nearby woodland offer a setting for attention without a packed programme.

Let a week take a quieter shape at Little Paradise, among the lakes, woods and meadows near Hamburg. This individual retreat offers space for meditation, contemplation, reading and time outdoors, with guidance available when you want it.

Explore your own rhythm through meditation or prayer, contemplation, nature walks and conversations about your inner process. You may share walks or cooking with other guests, or keep to yourself. Retreat guidance is available on request; the daily structure is optional.
