Johann & Anna as a Retreat for Small Groups

What does a good group actually need — a full program, or a place that doesn't get in the way?

Johann & Anna as a Retreat for Small Groups

Living and dining area with an antler chandelier in the Kaiserblick apartment

Yoga teachers, coaches, and small training groups keep asking us the same question: does Johann & Anna work for a weekend with their group? The honest answer: we're not a seminar hotel with a conference room and a projector. But for many people, that's exactly why it fits.

What a small retreat finds here

  • Five independent apartments instead of one tightly organized group house — everyone gets their own space to retreat to.
  • Shared outdoor areas: the garden, the stream, quiet corners to sit in, with no lawnmower schedule getting in the way.
  • No fixed structure you have to bring with you. The house supports a program, but never tries to become one itself.

That makes it less suited to 30 people running a flipchart session, and much better suited to groups of four to about ten who are looking for a protected setting for workshops, writing retreats, mindfulness days, or simply time away together.

What we don't promise

No round-the-clock catering, no stage, no equipment for large presentations. If that's what you need, a classic seminar hotel will serve you better. If instead you're looking for a quiet setting where the actual program — whether that's yoga, writing, or just thinking together — stays at the center, there's room for you here.
