Hello lovelies!
It was a wonderful week at the Open Heart Retreat! It felt a bit like being on a school trip all over again. During this time I got to know very nice people and learned good methods to counteract the stress of everyday life. Thank you for the great experience!

Greetings everyone.
I arrived here really exhausted looking for signposts.
The course was lovingly prepared and designed with a great deal of effort.
I knew a lot of what was taught, but it was brought to life again.
Then put in relation to new techniques, which were very well taught and highly effective, by Dirk + Simone.
The technical ... was very interesting for me to get to know, but it's not really my thing.
Ulrich completes the circle with his Ho' oonoponopono, which already develops a wonderful, impressive magic in the books, which was potentiated many times over working with Uhlrich and in the group.
These 5 days were full and demanding, but everyone was able to set their own pace.
The course participants, course leaders and catering ladies, everyone involved and the special Healinggarden created a unique atmosphere in which I was able to relax and find myself,
in order to continue on my path in life with a new perspective and healing techniques.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, because every person here has helped me to take a small step forward.
We can all be healed in such a loving environment.
May we all help it (healing) to grow into even greater dimensions
.
Namaste wishes to all Turid

Dear ones,
I would like to thank you very much for this wonderful Open Heart Retreat...it was a wonderful community in a dreamlike setting and the training topics make you feel lighter and more relaxed in everyday life...Thank you!

Love, Simone, Dirk and Ulrich!
Thank you for this wonderful week, which was rich in insights and ended in a journey to oneself. The course content was conveyed very coherently for me, with heart and empathy, and I am motivated to integrate what I have learned into my everyday life. I wish you many more people in your courses who are ready to welcome new things into their lives! All the best Karin
Dear ones
We experienced incredible, beautiful and unforgettable moments. The combination in the morning, yoga for the body and breathing, then the access to heart/brain coherence via guided meditation and technique, which is simply super, especially for head people, and at noon the forgiveness work with Ho'oponopono with incredible energy flow and heart opening. All of this together provides the optimum tools for body, mind and soul to be and remain happy. The key to success remains the same here: Practice, practice, practice!
Many thanks to the three of you and all the best to you
Heidi & Heinz
Dear ones
A week in Tenerife, with Chiara, my lovely daughter and many people who have touched me so much, is now behind me - or rather, inside me. 🙂
Full of joy and quiet amazement, I immersed myself in the "Open Heart" retreat on Tenerife, the island of the heart.
With Simone and Dirk, I experienced the benefits of HeartMath®, a training for resilience that will be very useful for me personally and for my work! 🙂
I also really enjoyed the morning yoga with Simone.
Ulrich introduced me even more deeply to the wisdom of the Kahunas, which I found so touching and deeply effective. The deepening of the Ho' oponopono ritual touched my heart deeply and reminded me to live even more intensively for a common, peaceful existence here on earth.
I thank my daughter and the whole group and especially the three of you from the bottom of my heart for this nourishing and touching time together.
Your Nica
