21 December - 28 December 2024

Christmas, the festival of love, is a time when no one wants to feel lonely. How about not being alone with your feelings of sadness or loneliness this year?

Grief counsellor Anja:

“Spend the festive season with like-minded people in the beautiful Salzkammergut. We will be together, sing, laugh and cry, everything is allowed. During the day we hike in the nearby Dachstein mountains or go on an excursion in the surrounding area. In the evenings, we will take time for dialogue, meditation or sound journeys ….

Of course, we will also enjoy our Christmas menu together, ensuring that this Christmas season will be an unforgettable experience.”
