COMMUNITY & ACTIVITIES
The hosts are all about freeing people from crisis and stress, whilst helping them regenerate both physically and mentally.

Considering that, for an extra cost, don’t miss out on the deep relaxation and energyzed feeling provided by the yoga lessons, meditation sessions, sound therapy and ayurveda massages. All this within a quiet and luminous space, smelling of cardamom and other far easterns spices - a whole vibe.
In the stay, experts from different areas work in a co-creative way, which can be of help with any project. So if you’re more into regenerating your soft skills and productivity, while working with open-minded and inspiring people, check out the accelerator and incubator programmes, as well as business and personal coaching and even financial advice. There are also cooking classes available for those who like to endeavour in gastronomy in their travels.
THE VISION
This house was transformed into a power centre, where everything is possible. It’s a wellbeing hub for overworked city dwellers and country folk, a place that brings flow and focus and a return to the essentials. People can only develop their potential by treating each other with dignity and the hosts take that into account, by providing a meeting point for workers and creatives that share the same values and ethos, searching for a change in their professional and personal lives.
If you’re looking to be more in touch with yourself and dare to have an unusual change of perspective by being integrated into a traditional, calm, original and intact village like St. Koloman, this stay is tailored for you.

In the summer, the best way to be in touch with the green landscapes and dense forests is to go on one of the extensive hikes in the region, that will lead you past almost untouched natural sites.
