Quiet orientation · fit first · no public intake
Life reorientation at a turning point—without prescribed answers.
A transition in work, relationship, place, identity, or responsibility can create a genuine need to pause and review direction. ALMAE frames that pause as quiet reflection in Germany near the Donnersberg, about one hour from Frankfurt Airport. It does not determine the correct life path, create certainty, promise a result, or imply automatic acceptance; written terms, programme fee, accommodation, support limits, and exit options would need to be clear before any future payment.
Start with the question
Separate the need for space from the demand for certainty.
Useful points to consider
Reorientation can begin by naming what has changed, which commitments remain, which practical facts are missing, how Donnersberg/Frankfurt travel, costs, accommodation, support limits, and return responsibilities would affect ordinary life, and which decisions do not need to be made immediately. A structured pause may make those questions easier to hold, but it should not create urgency or replace ordinary advice or qualified assessment.
High-impact choices deserve time, independent advice where appropriate, and freedom from emotional or group pressure.
- what has changed and what has not;
- which values are relevant to the next decision;
- which questions need evidence, time, or qualified advice.
Clear limits
Reflection without transferred authority.
The public position is deliberately limited
ALMAE presents a premium, quiet setting for sacred-inner reflection on meaning, values, attention, and lived choices. It does not diagnose, treat, stabilize a crisis, or replace qualified medical or mental-health support. It does not offer or promise healing; where healing happens, ALMAE understands it as happening in God’s grace.
Your beliefs, boundaries, health decisions, relationships, and major life choices remain your own. A guide or group may offer prompts and structure, but neither should be treated as the final judge of what is true for your life.
- no promised personal, health, relationship, financial, or inner outcome;
- no claim of inherited tradition, cultural authorization, or special access to truth;
- no substitute for emergency, clinical, legal, financial, or safeguarding services;
- no requirement to adopt a belief or hand over independent judgment.
Private self-review
Questions to answer for yourself.
Pause and consider
Keep these reflections private. This page does not ask you to send an answer, and interest alone does not establish fit.
- Am I free to delay a major decision until after the experience?
- Which practical facts do I still need?
- Who outside ALMAE can help me test my thinking independently?
Before any future participation
Confirmed boundaries and remaining details belong in writing.
Confirm before commitment
ALMAE is a 14-day group format for two to seven participants. Manuel guides and accompanies the group, with a yoga teacher involved for relevant periods. Individual 1:1 support and support outside announced sessions are not included. Participants may pause or leave, and hiking or yoga limitations are assessed individually.
The programme fee is EUR 6,970 including tax. Hotel/accommodation and meals are not included; travel, transfers, insurance, and personal expenses are separate. If a participant chooses to end participation after the programme begins, the programme fee is not refunded; detailed controlling terms must be provided, accepted, and signed before payment. Public applications and payment remain closed.
