EVENTS IN ÜBERLINGEN AND MARBELLA 2023
Christmas – a time to pause and a time for inspiration
Just like every year, we will be celebrating Christmas in an intimate, family-like atmosphere, with no obligations, urgency or excesses, but with joy and great attention to detail.
At Buchinger Wilhelmi, we turn our attention to the values and ideals that connect people. They enrich and fulfil us both when we encounter them and when others encounter them. Relaxation enables fasting and lets us stop and think about the important things: valuable interactions with our fellow human beings and not least with ourselves.
For this reason, we have put together an atmospheric programme for the festive period for you which promotes balance in the body, mind and spirit and leads to a better quality of life.

12. – 17.12.23 | Yoga Transformation Retreat
The end of the year, especially the Christmas season, is great for letting go of the old, allowing change to happen, and realigning yourself. This intense yoga transformation retreat is your opportunity to do so.
Learn various meditation techniques and breathing exercises, explore your body awareness during yoga classes, and open up new horizons through mantra chanting and much more. It doesn’t matter how much yoga experience you have, as you can find your own intensity through the different levels.
We at Buchinger Wilhelmi want to offer you this particularly protected space for your retreat, your spiritual development, and your transformation. Fasting during the retreat can support you in your transformation, but is not mandatory.
With Gilbert Grimeau
23.12.23 | “Sound journey – A very special meditative sound experience”
A sound journey is a listening meditation. Each sound affects us in its own way and can lead us to our inner selves. If we consciously open up to sounds and tones, we feel their vibrations. They touch us, have their effect, and then fade away. By consciously perceiving sounds, through listening we tune into what cannot be heard, the sound of life. Embark on a journey into the world of sounds. Experience the influence of different instruments with rich overtones, such as singing bowls, gongs, ocean drums and more …
With Thomas Lutz and Martina Mayer-Lutz
