“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there\u201d \u2015 Rumi<\/p>

This quote describes the vision for our retreat centre in Wendland. We want to offer a place where one can rejuvenate and be inspired. A place to evolve. and where it is easy to be oneself. <\/p>

We see this reflected in the various groups and events that come to us: dance enthusiasts and therapy-oriented individuals, yogis and music lovers, meditators, and of course, the training program that started it all: Holistic Bodywork founded by Pascal Beaumart.<\/p>

Most events are related to consciousness, mindfulness and the connection to the body.<\/p>

Our contribution is to provide you with a ‘rest stop’ where learning and vacation can be experienced simultaneously: nourishing food, meeting friendly people, immersing yourself in a subject of your interest, and surrounded by nature and tranquility. Our goal is to send you back into everyday life, fully nourished in a holistic way. <\/p>

This is only possible with our team!<\/p>

We – that being Sarah, the manager, mother and an all-around talent. Pascal, the founder of Holistic Bodywork, our kitchen team, cleaning team, gardener, maintenance and office assistant. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    A home away from home. This is our vision \u2013 and to be honest, many of our visitors are already thanking us for it! We are thrilled about that. <\/p>

    And we don’t want to stop there. We are committed to the process of becoming a noticeably climate-positive and genuinely sustainable business. We are fortunate to accommodate approximately 20-30 people per week. We cook and host you, and we want to contribute to the benefit of the region in which we are located through our work. <\/p>

    There are many small and big decisions we have made in this regard. Whether it’s about employees, sourcing our food, gas, electricity, building materials, or equipment like ovens and heaters. It’s good for us to have the well-being of nature and people as our focus. <\/p>

    Another matter close to our hearts is nutrition. We believe that a solely plant-based diet can indeed be enjoyable and nourishing. We want to let you experience this here. There are already many recipes that have been requested and shared by visitors. Let yourself be inspired! <\/p>

    We’re fond of the concept of the “Ripple Effect”. We extend an invitation to all of you to arrive in Wendland, within yourselves and bring this peace, inspiration, and even recipe ideas back to your everyday lives. <\/p>

    We warmly welcome you just as you are!<\/p>

      Sarah Beaumart<\/b><\/p>

      Originally of Egyptian-Austrian descent, Sarah grew up between Cairo and London. She speaks English, German, Arabic, and Spanish. Sarah is an all-around talent. She has a degree in accounting and business, as well as a BA in language teaching. She has worked as a language teacher and event manager, and through her positions, there are many places she has called home: the UK, Egypt, Spain, Japan, and now also Wendland. She wants to bring the diversity she has had the opportunity to experience on her travels to this place. <\/p>

      Sarah’s diverse experiences are beneficial to her role as the centre’s manager: her background as an event manager, workshop facilitator, waitress, supervisor and PA. <\/p>

      Since 2015, Sarah has been supporting the Holistic Bodywork training.<\/p>

      Sarah is married to Pascal, and since 2021, the two of them are parents to Maya.<\/p>

      Sarah values a nature-connected and simple lifestyle. She aims to operate sustainably, with regional connections, seasonally, ecologically, and climate-positive, and these values are also evident at Seminarhof Drawehn. <\/p>

      Sarah makes the heart of Seminarhof beat more gently.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      Pascal Beaumart<\/b><\/p>

      It’s going to be a center for martial arts and healing, thought 8-year-old Pascal. On graph paper, community and treatment rooms were outlined, and this dream has been the clear guideline for the past three decades. <\/p>

      Surely there have been changes \u2013 you won’t find a martial arts hall on the current property \u2013 but the core vision remains the same: a meeting place where people can become ‘whole`. In so many environments, people cannot positively experience their needs. This led Pascal to use his savings and a variety of trainings to create exactly this offering \u2013 a place to ‘be a whole human being’. <\/p>

      Pascal is also the founder of the Holistic Bodywork training, where the body, emotions and spirituality are integrated over several years.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
