More then 30 years of Peace
ZEN-MEDITATION & INDIVIDUAL RETREAT
Mienh Adelheid (1939 - 2019) and Mienh Judith (1938-2020) founded the interdenominational lay monastery ZENKLAUSEN in the Hohen Venn in the Eifel in 1992. With their Zen experience, they have guided and accompanied many people in their lives, guiding them on their way to the silence, tranquility and spiritual leisure of Zen & meditation. With its founding idea & guidelines (see link), a wonderful oasis of calm and leisure has emerged over the years for personal and individual retreat from the hectic pace of everyday life. A place for a meditative retreat and a hermitage of spiritual leisure in the valley of silence.
Together, Mienh Adelheid & Mienh Judith also gave many lectures and published their ideas and thoughts in several different books, writings, poems and drawings. You can also find some of these in our Zenverlag. Furthermore, they wrote the very well-known books "Zen for every day" and the "Ease of Zen", which have been translated into several languages.
The Zenklausen team and his heirs have now taken on the task of maintaining this place and dream and keeping it alive according to the founding ideas, so that many people will still experience this wonderful and healing place in the future, and its peace and quiet for Body, mind and soul can enjoy meditative.
