Simply live better

RETREAT

TIME FOR YOU

After our extremely successful retreat in 2023, we are pleased to announce that we are looking forward with great anticipation to 2024 and welcoming you back to this wonderful place. The overwhelmingly positive feedback we received after our first retreat has more than increased our motivation.

We are happy to invite you to our first EBL Retreat in beautiful Tuscany! Under the motto "Simply live better" we offer you the opportunity to focus on your well-being in a relaxed and inspiring environment. Wolfgang and Maria, our experienced trainers, will guide you through Qi Gong, Meditation and PilatesART coursesthat promote your physical and mental health.

In addition to this wonderful time by the sea, we offer 2 additional Short retreats in the Tyrolean mountains on. These last 4 and 5 days and take place at the end of April and beginning of September 2024.

Qi Gong, Meditation and PilatesART courses

For more than two decades we have been teaching Qi Gong, Pilates, Meridian Yoga, relaxation techniques and various meditations. All this experience, all our knowledge and ultimately our passion for what we do, we would now like to pack into our EBL retreat and pass it on to our fellow travelers in a well-dosed way, with the awareness and certainty that we can give everyone a bit more life energy.

Since we know from experience that each of our clients has his own anatomy, his individual level and also his own needs, we usually teach in pairs to be able to guarantee everyone an optimal start in our practice.

It is also very important to us that YOUR trip with US is also a vacation for YOU. You will not be crammed to exhaustion with courses. Above all, we want to offer you a balance between our units and free time.

The retreat will take place at the picturesque Villa Unique Panorama Retreat Lucerna in Tuscany, surrounded by beautiful countryside. You will have the opportunity to enjoy the local culture and Italian cuisine, as well as excursions to the surrounding towns and villages.

This retreat offers you the opportunity to relax from everyday life and focus on your inner balance. We invite you to participate in this unforgettable experience and discover yourself.

The movement sessions are suitable for everyone, whether beginner or advanced. Previous experience should not be a barrier to new experiences.

We look forward to welcoming you to the 2024 EBL Retreat in Tuscany!

Your individual retreat

This is very important to us, because we also want to give the participants the opportunity to bring more individuality into the program. This means that we provide a framework, but there should also be the possibility to make an additional excursion to the nearby monastery, a short hike into silence or even an evening walk by the sea. The guidelines should be used in such a way that enough free space can be planned for everyone for personal retreats or smaller activities alone or in a small group.

What brought us to this place in Tuscany, of all places?

We are very grateful that we came across a very sustainable estate in Tuscany when choosing our retreat. This estate is privately run by the Lucerna family and is located away from the tourist strongholds.

Unique Panorama Retreat Lucerna is a unique refuge of silence. From the rosemary panoramic swimming pool IL CIELO you have a magnificent view of the sea. But you can also look out over the rolling hills towards Pisa or lie under an olive tree with a book in the Olive Relax Garden and breathe in the scents of Tuscany.

In the midst of olive groves, meadows and forests we practice in the 75 m² panoramic group room LIGHT OF TUSCANY and connect with the special healing power of the place.

The property itself consists of a main house and a guest house about 200 meters away with double and triple rooms, most of which have separate beds.

Anyone who has ever participated in a retreat knows that such a journey has a lasting effect. The tranquility, the regular practice, the nature and the regional, natural food are like a fountain of youth for body, mind and soul. You get new impulses for your life and fill yourself with new energy.

At the end of the journey you will feel your inner sources of power even more. You will realize what is important for YOUR life.

Whether singles, couples or groups of friends, everyone will be accommodated individually. There will also be solo travelers who do not have to worry about whether and how they will be accepted. From our own experience we know that especially traveling alone is a great enrichment, regardless of age, gender, condition or constitution. Everyone is welcome and will be picked up where they are.

The main thing is to take a vacation from everyday life. We meet as a group that has the opportunity to find themselves with a lot of free space.

With this in mind, we'd love for you to join us on the journey and meet YOU in person in a wonderful place.

The daily routine

The morning begins with our morning rituals, which you can easily perform at home. The following movement sessions lead you into a deep body and mind awareness and let you feel how beneficial the experience of YOUR individual BEING can be.
After the brunch together follows the time of retreat, which you can arrange freely. If you feel the need for a treatment or coaching, you are welcome to book it.
Later in the afternoon, movement sessions will take place again. Small impulse lectures will give you an insight into the theory, so that you can understand the practice even better. In addition, we want to give you valuable tips on how you can continue what you have learned on the trip at home without overexerting yourself.
In the evening you will have a delicious and digestible dinner that will give you new energy with nutritious ingredients.

Maria & Wolfgang combine all the great movement and therapy treasures that they have learned and experienced in the course of their professional careers and have passed on as trainers and instructors for over 25 years.

Maria & Wolfgang love to share their passionate interest in the wonders of body and mind.
