We ask our guests to give us an honest review and let us know what we can improve. In this way, we ensure that we can offer our customers the best service at all times. Here are some of the reviews we have received from our newest leaders and clients who have held seminars here.
Dear Anat, dear Eran, I am still very touched by your loving care and attention. After more than 40 years of seminar house experience, I can say without blushing: You are the best hosts. Above all, Eran's cooking is second to none. I have never eaten better. After 4 days I was concerned that I had gained weight but noooo. The scale shows less - happy. I can warmly recommend you and hope to be able to offer you many more seminars. Our participants were also all very enthusiastic and it was almost a little difficult to endure the isolated silence phases while eating, because the AHHs and Mmmms tumbled out again and again - giggles. All the best to you, love and beauty - LOVE

I was in the house with an Integralis self-discovery group. It was the best support for our work from start to finish. We felt warmly welcomed, were exceptionally spoiled with culinary delights and benefited from the deep, spacious atmosphere throughout the house in our work. Lovely again!

After several years in other meeting houses, I was able to be there with an Authentic Movement retreat group for the first time since the reopening of Gaia. Because of your hospitality, openness, flexibility and this wonderful food filled with new surprises every day, Gaia is the place where I want to be and where I have found a space for the Discipline of Authentic Movement. Thank you from the heart Anat and Eran Anke Teigeler Wiesbaden Hessen info@anke-teigeler.de
