7 - 9 June 2025 (Sat. to Mon.)
long "Pfingsten" weekend
conducted by Manish Vyas
“Mantras and Kirtans Weekend Retreat: Shivoham, a Journey into Bliss”
Let yourself be renewed and revitalized by the power of Sound. Join the internationally renowned singer, composer, conductor and student of Mantra Science, Manish Vyas from India, for a blissful musical, meditative weekend using the inherent power of sacred texts, Sanskrit, Shlokas, Stotras, Kirtans, Mantras and their contribution to the wisdom of the ancient land Bhãrat – India.
An effortless weekend of pure enjoyment, where the only purpose is to let oneself immerse in the Naad Shakti – Sound, absorbing this energy with all senses, which can connect us smoothly and peacefully to ourselves and to the surroundings.
The right Sound has power. The right Music has power. The right Word has power. In this long weekend, we invite you to explore together this revered treasure which has been deeply explored in India since millennia. Naad Yoga, a therapy for body, mind and soul through the power of Sound.
Shivoham is a Sanskrit word that means "I am Bliss." It's a mantra in itself, and if we repeat such affirmation, it can only have a good impact in our being and in our lives. So Mantra is a Sound, but not any Sound. Mantra is a Sacred Sound. And here resides the power of Mantra.

We therefore recommend booking accommodation as early as possible, but no later than 22 days before the start of the event – this way you have a better chance for the availability in your preferred room category.
