These are the advantages of a "time-out farm"
In our hectic times, the need to simply switch off and breathe deeply is growing ever stronger. Retreat farms are the ideal place to leave everyday life behind – perfect for those seeking relaxation , wanting to find their inner peace, or looking to prevent burnout . Thanks to their tranquil location and idyllic rural surroundings, retreat farms offer the ideal setting for a spiritual journey. Whether through yoga in specially designed rooms and outdoor areas, digital detox , or fasting retreats – here you will find your path to renewed balance.
Criteria for the "Time Out Farm" certificate
Places of retreat
The courtyard and its immediate surroundings offer a retreat that can be individually designed, for example for meditation.
Resting position
The farm is located away from all the hustle and bustle and, thanks to its absolutely peaceful location, offers a place to breathe deeply and recharge your batteries.
relaxation
Guests can unwind through yoga sessions and relaxing treatments, such as massages.
Fasting & Cures
The farm owners actively promote guests' time out with selected offers such as fasting cures or digital detox.
Hectic activity should have no place on a retreat farm. The hosts understand that their guests are seeking peace and need a break from everyday stress . By creating an environment and offerings that nourish both body and soul, the farm owners become active supporters of a restorative stay for stressed individuals. The prerequisites for a retreat farm are:
- The farm and its surroundings offer places of retreat that allow guests to personalize their time out, whether through meditation, breathing exercises or similar practices.
- The farm enjoys an absolutely peaceful location without any disturbing hustle and bustle in the immediate vicinity, guaranteeing an undisturbed retreat.
- The retreat farms have rooms and equipment for yoga exercises or offer relaxing treatments such as massages to promote well-being.
- To optimally support the break, the farms offer additional programs such as fasting cures or digital detox measures, which contribute to rest and regeneration.
Furthermore, all certified holiday farms must operate an active, organic, or sustainable agricultural program . Numerous negative reviews can also preclude certification, especially if they contradict the certification criteria.
The certification is valid for 24 months .
