Turnin Inward –  An Autumn Ayurveda Retreat

Nature knows when to let go. Do we?
Every autumn, nature goes through a remarkable transition.
Leaves fall. Days become shorter. The air changes. What was once growing and expanding slowly begins to retreat.
Nature doesn’t resist this shift. It simply responds.
We, on the other hand, often continue at exactly the same pace — filling our days, moving from one thing to the next, carrying everything with us as we head towards the busiest months of the year.
Turning Inward is an invitation to pause.

For three days, we’ll retreat to Mirabellenhof in the Brandenburg countryside and explore what it might feel like to move with the season rather than against it.

Through yoga, Ayurveda, silent walks, seasonal food, sauna and simple autumn rituals, we’ll create space to slow down, ground and notice what we might be ready to let go of — and what we want to nourish instead.
There will be practices and workshops, but there will also be something equally important:

space.

Space for long brunches and slow afternoons. For tea and cake. For reading, walking, sleeping, talking or doing absolutely nothing. A weekend to feel the change of season rather than simply watch it pass.

THE WEEKEND

Friday — ARRIVE & GROUND

15:00–16:00 · Arrival & settling in
Arrive at Mirabellenhof, find your room, make yourself a cup of tea and take some time to settle into the house and your surroundings.

16:40–18:00 · Opening Yoga

18:30 · Dinner*
Our first seasonal dinner together.

From 20:00 · Sauna & free evening
Warm up in the sauna, have some tea, spend time together or head to bed early. Nothing else to do, nowhere else to be.

Saturday — NOURISH & RELEASE

08:30 · Silent Morning Walk
We begin the day outside and in silence. No phones, no conversation — just a quiet walk through the autumn landscape and an invitation to notice what is changing around us.

09:15–10:30 · Morning Yoga
A steady, warming morning practice inspired by the grounding qualities we’ll explore later through Ayurveda.

11:00–12:30 · Long Brunch
A nourishing brunch around the table, followed by time to linger.

12:30–14:30 · Free Time
Read, sleep, walk, talk, explore or do absolutely nothing.

14:30–16:00 · Ayurveda Workshop — Living With the Seasons
An introduction to autumn through the lens of Ayurveda. We’ll explore Vata, seasonal rhythms and simple ways to bring more warmth, nourishment and steadiness into everyday life.

16:00 · Afternoon Tea & Snack

17:00–18:30 · Evening Practice & Sound Meditation

19:00 · Dinner

From 20:30 · Sauna & Slow Evening around the fire

09:15–10:30 · Morning Yoga

11:00–12:30 · Long Brunch

13:00–14:15 · Autumn Spice Workshop — Blend, Taste & Create
For our final experience, we’ll gather around the kitchen table.

Cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and other warming autumn spices will fill the table. We’ll smell, taste and experiment with them, learning a little about their different qualities before creating our own personal spice blends.

Everyone will fill a little jar with their own blend to take home.

*14:15 · Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Afternoon Snack & Closing
We’ll put our creations to the test and make homemade pumpkin spice lattes together.

Departure around 15:00–16:00
