“Spiritual Retreat”: Reduce Stress and Recharge Your Batteries Spiritually

Beuron, Benediktiner Erzabtei St. Martin | 16.07.2026 - 20.07.2026

The frightening world situation, violence, wars and racism in many regions, but also the pressure in the academic world or the normal stress in the family and private environment challenge us. Many people lack the opportunity in their everyday lives to come to themselves, take a deep breath and recharge their batteries.

The "Spiritual Retreat" aims to give people the opportunity to find God and themselves in a quiet and slowed-down place. It will be about looking at your own life together with others and – if necessary – realigning it.

The days are somewhat different from the other KAAD seminars: we live in Beuron Monastery in the beautiful Danube landscape and follow the prayer rhythm of the Benedictine monks in our daily routine.

A daily meditation exercise (those who have no meditation experience will receive an introduction) is just as much a part of it as Bible discussions, a group service, time to go for a walk and a movie night. Your own creativity (e.g. painting) is also encouraged! Personal discussions in pairs or groups round off the program.
