DEEP REST – AUTUMN RETREAT
Thursday 9 – Sunday 12 October 2025
✺ Haus Erlengrund, Märkische Schweiz - Brandenburg
Come with me to a place where the forest kisses the lake — just an hour from Berlin.
Haus Erlengrund is one of my dearest places, a hidden sanctuary in the Brandenburg forest beside a crystal-clear lake. In autumn, nature shows us the way. The trees turn golden, the forest breathes out, everything leans into rest, and the whole landscape invites you to slow down. It feels like stepping into a fairyland — and I can’t wait to share it with you.
Over four days and three nights, we will guide you through practices that gently carry you into deep rest: yoga, breathwork, meditation, ritual, and sound. Each day builds on the last, creating a rhythm that helps you drop out of the busyness of your mind and back into your body, into presence, into yourself.
And when we’re not on the mat, we’ll gather around the fire, share nourishing meals, sweat in the sauna, and rest by the water. The forest, the lake, the food — everything becomes part of the practice of slowing down.
Four days. Three nights. One golden journey back to you.
THE PRACTICES OF DEEP REST:
Everything we share at our DEEP REST Retreat is designed to gently guide you back into presence, into your body, into yourself. We move through practices that balance activity with stillness, community with solitude, and ritual with rest.

OUR HOME:
HAUS ERLENGRUND
Just an hour from Berlin lies Haus Erlengrund — an oasis where the forest kisses the lake. Hidden in the Märkische Schweiz, it feels like stepping into another world: golden trees, a crystal-clear lake, evenings by the fire, mornings with birdsong.
The moment you arrive, your nervous system exhales. Time slows down here — each corner invites you to soften, to connect, to return to yourself. This land was shaped with love by a small community, and you can feel it in every detail.
What awaits you at Erlengrund:
🌊 Two private jetties on a crystal-clear lake — dive in, row gently across, or simply sit with the water
🔥 A wood-fired sauna with forest view — warm deeply, then cool off in the lake
🌳 Yoga shala & outdoor platform — practice in the stillness of the forest or indoors by candlelight
🛖 Cozy cabins & a design glamping cube — each with its own story, a place to light your own fire
🍲 Long wooden tables & an open kitchen — where nourishing meals become gatherings of laughter and connection
Here, mornings open with birdsong, afternoons drift with rest and practice, and evenings close in firelight and under stars.
Haus Erlengrund doesn’t just our retreat home — it holds you, grounds you, and becomes part of your journey into deep rest.

Here’s what past participants shared with us…
“I would recommend this retreat as it was really a rare opportunity to slow down and take a step back. You can totally reconnect with yourself. The people made it very special and created a real space to heal. The activities were great and you leave with a lot of learnings and a rare sense of being on a cloud :)”
— Saskia B. (Inner Bloom Spring Retreat, Haus Erlengrund - 2025)
“Somehow I ended up at the most perfect retreat. With the most wonderful, warm people — we grew closer in five days than some do in five years. We saw the most fragile parts and held space for each other.
The place, the people, the food, the nature - everything was breathtakingly beautiful. Grateful for the experience I will come back to many many times. The most amazing and thoughtful @habibaelisa”
— Diana V. (Remembrance Retreat, Pelion Greece - 2025)
“This retreat is not just a yoga retreat, it's a movement therapy retreat. Habiba combines different practices to really find your way back home your essence. Landing back IN your body, with a heart wide open. Yoga and meditation in the morning and any other kind of (movement) workshop in the afternoon is the perfect blend Defintely recommend.”
— Sam E. (Remembrance Retreat, Pelion Greece - 2025)
“It was a beautifully curated journey, full of thoughtful details and meaningful experiences. I especially loved the moment where we created our own essential oils — that was magical. I also really enjoyed the inner landscape painting session (even though the rain cut it short - but it was perfect in its own way).
Walking through the forest, the rituals, the ceremonies - they were all so nourishing. I appreciated how Habiba and Sebastian remained open to spontaneous additions like ecstatic dancing, which was incredibly liberating.”
— Yesim A. (Inner Bloom Spring Retreat, Haus Erlengrund - 2025)
VEGETARIAN NOURISHMENT BY OUR HOLISTIC CHEF ANNE
Food is an essential part of our retreat journey — not just fuel, but a way to ground, connect, and care for ourselves. Each meal is designed to be nourishing, wholesome, and deeply satisfying — a balance of lightness and comfort to support both practice and rest.
Our retreat kitchen is guided by Chef Anne, who brings a unique blend of passion, expertise, and heart to every dish. With a background in holistic health, naturopathy, and vegetarian nutrition, Anne crafts meals that are as healing as they are delicious. Drawing from her training in macrobiotics, acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and osteopathy, she infuses each plate with a deep respect for the body’s natural rhythms.
✨ Expect colorful, seasonal dishes prepared with love — long-table brunches, cozy afternoon soups, and nourishing dinners that invite connection and joy.
Anne’s philosophy is simple: food is medicine, and mealtime is a ritual of care.
