“At the still-point in the center of the circle one can see the infinite in all things.” 
​Chuang Tzu
Are you longing for a long term to a deserted island? Then a sabbatical term in the Zenklausen is the ideal choice for you. You meditate and live in the middle of the natural park of the Eifel in a small tiny house. In this silence you can give yourself enough time to gain distance from everyday life and thus calmly reflect on your personal life questions. In this silence you can give yourself enough time to gain distance from everyday life and thus calmly reflect on your personal life path. Because the sabbatical retreat is seen as a planned time of seclusion from the hectic pace of everyday life. Retreats serve for inner contemplation and self-reflection. Essential elements of retreats are meditation, self-discovery, reflections and silence.
