Join the Life School

There are times in life in which we experience difficult phases. We can fight our way through dark times, however, the point about life is not having to fight. Life is about living and that is why we have decided to form a Life School.

Do you want to experience true stress release as well as a complete digital detox?
Are you looking for your true self?
Do you want to find your own way in life and understand yourself more?
​Do you feeling lonely?

Following our vision of "being together instead of staying alone", we invite you to join our Life School!

What is our Life School about?
The Life School is about taking a break from your daily life. Its content is created upon the combination of physical, mental and spiritual work. Please note that our Life School is not a rehabilitation or hospital facility that takes care of you. Our goal is to help you by giving you the tools to improve yourself and strengthen your self-awareness.

How does it work?
Our philosophy is based upon an intention to live a simple life in connection with the nature. This way we get to learn from and about nature whilst at the same time not just improving our physical but also our mental health.
​At our Life School we start our day with yoga, meditation, dancing or a meditative walk.

Whom is our Life School designed for?
Anyone from the age of 18. We invite applicants of all ages and nationalities who are willing to experience and learn new things, who want to get rid of internal contradictions and who actively want to change detrimental behavioural patterns. We gladly accept applicants who want to be part of and nurture society and who are willing to bring in their ideas and experiences.

Whom is our Life School NOT designed for?
We cannot accept anyone who is currently suffering from a disease requiring medical treatment (psychiatric or physical). Our place is neither a psychiatric clinic nor a rehabilitation facility for treating addictions (e.g. drug or alcohol addiction).
Please note that we also do not accept anyone who is dependent on medicinal drugs.

What are the requirements? 
Please understand that a health certificate is required if you want to be part of our Life School. This certificate ensures us that you do not suffer from any illnesses that restrain you from participating in all of our activities.

What are the goals at our Life School?
At the Life School you will learn how to take responsibility for yourself and your happiness. This means:
  • taking responsibility for your own life 
  • being aware of your dreams and making them happen
  • understanding the origin and “purpose” of disease by practising “health”,
  • transforming disorientation into orientation,
  • discovering detrimental family patterns and removing them,

  • strengthening your consciousness,
  • nurturing your mental and physical health,
  • working on your personal strengths and weaknesses,
  • building up a spiritual relationship with yourself, nature and God,
  • wanting to live and contribute in and to society.

What is your personal goal?
This is the question you need to ask yourself first. If you know what your goal is, we will gladly help you with ideas and advice to take a step forth.

How long should you stay? When can you come?
We recommend that you stay with us for at least 3 months.

What is the fee for a participation at the Life School?
Price: 1200 EUR per month (based on our agreement and your financial situation). The fee is non-refundable if you choose to leave or are asked to leave early for not following our philosophy and rules. We are strict on this policy because we want you to commit to improving yourself.
