Welcome
to the modern monastery
The modern, nondenominational monastery bows to spiritual traditions and takes them further into the modern age. The monastery at Gut Saunstorf – Place of Stillness, near the Hanseatic city of Wismar, invites you to take time for yourself and to withdraw from the noisy demanding world of life in the fast lane. It offers an ideal setting for turning inward, becoming still and listening to your heart.
Time Out at the Monastery
The modern monastery invites you to take time for yourself and to retreat from the noise of. Relax and renew through silence, meditation, yoga and much more.
Weeks of Silence
Immersion into a time without words, into oneself. To be in silence leads naturally to a deepening, a being-with-yourself. You can recharge, recover deeply und reconnect with your inner needs.
Darkness Retreat
A retreat of several days in complete darkness – alone with yourself in a pitch black dark room and daily therapeutic guidance. This is very helpful in approaching one’s own inner self.
