Location

Little Paradise is a small modern monastery, and a meditation and retreat center just outside Hamburg, Germany. It is a place for a spiritual retreat, a meditation holiday, or just a relaxing timeout.

The rustic country house has a large meditation room with a fireplace, and a cozy, well-equipped kitchen. An idyllic garden with terrace and garden pond invites you to pause and dwell. The small library of spiritual books is another great place to lounge and retreat in the house.

The house is specially designed for people to find deep peace, stillness and to reconnect with nature and the inner.

Many guests participate in shared meditations. Others simply enjoy the peaceful tranquility of this place by resting and soaking in the amazing view of the garden, the lakes, and wildlife of the nature sanctuary beyond. It provides the perfect environment for silence, meditation, writing, reading, walking, cycling, and bird watching.

Area

The surrounding nature is truly beautiful. You’ll find fields, forests, meadows, and lakes all around. The number of large and rare birds around the center is quite unique for Germany: Eagles, hawks, falcons, bussards, red kites, marsh harriers, herons, cranes, storks, swans, great owls, woodpeckers, seagulls, kingfishers, bats, flocks of geese and ducks and starlings and swallows, and many more. All of them can be seen from the house at different times of the year.

While you are surrounded by nature, the center is located just 25 minutes away from Hamburg City center. You can also visit the city of Lubeck or the Baltic Sea, a mere 35 minutes away.
