Experience one of the world’s most enchanting castles in a way most tourists never even realize is an option! Off the beaten path, away from crowds, and absolutely magical in every possible way!

Reset your travel-weary bones through our unique “Embracing European Sauna Culture” daily workshops held right in the comfort of the Wellness Hotel overlooking Neuschwanstein itself. You will leave with an unmatched local, and cultural experience as well as a profound sense of rejuvenation after our 3 day Women’s Wellness Retreat

Our unique approach to Transformative Travel allows you to both experience the German (Bavarian) culture authentically as well as embrace the local wellness traditions allowing you a truly once in a lifetime experience.

Why Neuschwanstein?

We understand that “Off the beaten path” travel feels quite cliche, but with local expats living IN Germany ourselves, we know just how to experience famous tourist sites in a more local and authentic way.

We want to show you the beauty of the Bavarian Alps from angles most travelers don’t know about.

Some women wonder if they should skip Neuschwanstein Castle on their Germany travels because it might be “too touristy.”
But it is a famous destination for a reason- it is a one of a kind marvel!

And what is better than seeing one of the most iconic and beautiful castles in the world? Doing it WITHOUT all of the other tourists!

Are You Ready To Experience Germany; Off the beaten path?

What is European Sauna Culture?

Many Germans call a Sauna and/or thermal baths a “Spa” but these are not beauty centers. These are places where Germans take their wellness and relaxation very seriously. It is a place where they believe in holistic health for their mind and bodies.

Embracing the European Sauna Culture is a beautiful thing that you can only truly understand by experiencing it for yourself!

  • If you prefer to skip out on any activity on the itinerary for whatever reason, that is your choice and perfectly acceptable.

Cancellation & refund policy

If you decide to cancel within the first 30 days of registering, I will provide you a 100% refund. After that, there will be no refunds for cancellations, even illness. If you do need to cancel your trip outside of the 30 day window, I will try to “sell” your spot, however that is not guaranteed. In this case, I recommend buying travel insurance to cover your trip.

If unforeseen circumstances or other reasons arise that I need to cancel the retreat, I will postpone the retreat for an agreed upon time in 2025.

Additionally, I will not provide any refunds 60 days prior to the departure of the trip, if you sign up late.
