The food in Gaia is an exceptional experience and a real celebration. It combines Mediterranean flavors with healthy nutrition and passionate cooking, made with lots of love and attention. Gluten-free, Lactose-free & other food sensitivities are welcome in Gaia and get suitable attention. During the retreat, we provide 2 vegan meals a day to support your physical activity. No one stays hungry with us.

Schedule

Here’s a clear paragraph summary of the retreat schedule: The retreat begins with an afternoon arrival session including gentle yoga, an introduction, a nature walk, a heart-focused vegan dinner, and an evening welcome meeting with meditation. The second and third days follow a structured rhythm starting with early wake-up, morning yoga, and a mindful nature walk, followed by light fruits and tea, extended “yoga as meditation” sessions, a joyful brunch, and generous free time with access to the sauna. Afternoon practice continues with more meditative yoga, a fruit break, and another long session before a friendly vegan dinner, evening free time, and a closing meditation and relaxation. On the final day, participants share a silent morning walk, enjoy fruits and tea, gather for a closing circle, have one last joyful vegan brunch, and check out around midday.

Testimonials

info

The yoga retreat was a wonderful four days with warm, generous people in a comfortable and peaceful location. From the first moment Anat and Eran welcomed everyone like family. Anat is an excellent yoga teacher, who helped me to deepen my practice through meditation and new asanas. The food was delicious, and the woods around the retreat house are perfect for quiet walks. Thank you Anat and Eran for a very special four days.

I've been to retreats in the past but this was the most amazing experience I've ever had. Peace and kindness were the marks of the days. The yoga and the fellowship were great, and the food was simply delicious. Can't wait to go back.

absolutely enjoyed my time here during a meditation retreat. The house is beautifully located on a scenic mountainside. Perfect for a calm, restorative weekend. Our retreat began with a warm welcome and wonderful guidance from our teacher. You can truly feel the passion of Eran, the facilitator of the weekend. He was not only a great host but also an amazing chef. We enjoyed delicious vegan food, freshly cooked each day, which brought everyone together around the table.

I just spent four transformative days at Gaia Retreat House - a hidden gem wrapped in nature’s quiet embrace. Ytamar’s meditation teachings weren’t just instructions - they were invitations - to slow down, breathe deep, and meet yourself with compassion and clarity. Each session felt like a gentle awakening. The silent walks? Pure magic. Wandering through open fields and whispering trees, I rediscovered the art of simply being. And then there’s Eran’s vegan cuisine - vibrant, soulful, and utterly nourishing. Every meal was a celebration of life on a plate. Thank you! Gaia isn’t just a retreat. It’s a sanctuary for the soul, a pause button in a chaotic world. If you crave real rest and a chance to come home to yourself, this is where you want to be.

Codruta, Germany

It was definitely an amazing journey of staying at Gaia for a 4-day meditation and yoga retreat. It was my very first retreat and I had no idea what it would look like and whether I would like it but Gaia and Eran prove to be one of the best choices that I have ever made. Gaia makes me feel at home immediately upon arrival and the vegan food and people are full of love. Even for me as a non-vegan eater, I still enjoy every part of it. I would be more than happy to come back again soon and can only highly recommend to someone who is looking for a peaceful and refreshed mind and feeling loved :)
