Time for Silence & Time in Zen

For over 32 years, this wonderful retreat and meditation center has been inviting people to meditation, inner contemplation, leisure, silence and self-discovery. Here you can still experience and enjoy nature as a teacher in the constant change of life, which accompanies you in all its beauty and mysticism.

In this wonderful place, the wind will take care of your worries, the forest welcomes you with its serenity in every season, and the moon in the clear starry sky illuminates the darkness of your existence. By embracing this metaphysical landscape and seclusion, the atmosphere of the Zenklausen creates a space in which you can focus in peace on the important issues of your life, and may find new ways of existence, with all its strength and love.
"Learn to be like the river that flows effortlessly, yet with purpose.
​Let go of resistance and allow yourself to be carried by the currents of the present moment,
​for it is in that moment and its stillness that your true path is found." -
Zenklausen

Uniqueness & Variety

The uniqueness of the Zenklausen lies on the one hand in the variety of individual offers, but also in the small number of guests (max. 8 people) that we accept per day. Hereby, each guest lives during the stay in his own hermitage (Tiny house). With these concepts, we not only concentrate on the individual needs of our guests, but also preserve the peace, quiet and privacy of each individual guest. Furthermore, ecological sustainability is an important concept and guideline for us in connection with the design and teaching of the individual ZEN path. You can find more information about these under our "ZEN-Stay" or "Location" link.

History & Future

Mienh Adelheid (1939 - 2019) & Mienh Judith (1938 - 2020) founded the non-denominational lay monastery ZENKLAUSEN in 1992 in the Eifel. With years of Zen experience, they have guided and accompanied many people in their lives, guiding them on their way to the silence, calm and spiritual leisure of Zen. Based on their founding idea and guidelines, a wonderful oasis of calm and leisure was created for personal and individual retreat from the hectic pace of everyday life.

Thanks to many helping and supportive hands, many people can continue to experience this miraculous and healing place, and enjoy its peace and quiet meditative for themselves. - If you also care about the Zenklausen and would like to contribute to the preservation of it, contact us.
