Retreat, Silence, Reflection
CONTEMPLATION IN THE MONASTERY
In our busy everyday lives, we often lose our connection to ourselves amid all the appointments, tasks, and activities. Our souls remain restless.
Days of mindful contemplation in the monastery guide you inwards and bring you closer to yourself once again. In the presence of outer silence, you can rediscover your balance and draw new strength and joy from this inner harmony.
For such an experience, Gut Saunstorf Monastery – Place of Stillness near Wismar in northern Germany, provides the ideal setting.
Quiet time for self-reflection, inner reflection and relaxation
Opportunities for spiritual study on site
Darshan with the wisdom teacher OM C. Parkin and connection with the monastic community
Holistic offers for body, mind and soul in the affiliated healing centre
The modern Gut Saunstorf Monastery is a quiet and profound place, open to guests all year round. It offers space for retreat and opportunities to reflect on yourself and the essential questions of the inner path, to explore your inner self and study spiritual wisdom teachings.
You can do this independently or engage with the monastic community living here. There is also the opportunity to get in contact with the wisdom teacher and head of the monastery, OM C. Parkin, during a public darshan. See dates.

A unique place of tranquility, surrounded by nature. The people who work there are as remarkable and kind as the place itself. It’s the perfect spot to escape the stress of everyday life for a few days and regain your strength in peace. Thank you for the wonderful time.
With great care and love, this oasis was created for people who want to reconnect with themselves and focus on what truly matters. I have never found anything quite like it anywhere else.
A beautiful, spiritual place with a strong sense of aesthetics. You just feel at ease here. It’s a unique retreat to take a break! The special concept of the house supports you in every way.
