Alive Retreats

Mission & Vision

We believe there is a natural intelligence in our life force — one that seeks healing, deep connection, unfolding and meaning. Emotional burdens, limiting beliefs, and societal conditioning can hold it back. Our retreats offer impulses to melt these blockages in an approach that combines Western psychology, Eastern contemplative practices, ritual, embodiment and art. We re-connect to the aliveness in our bodies, hearts, minds, souls- sometimes alone, and most of the times in relation with each other and with nature.

In this space of safety and authenticity, your inner fire is reignited. Transformation happens naturally—unlocking new possibilities, deeper relationships, and a sense of aliveness.

Our retreat venue is our private luxury chalet on the foot of the alps. It has a spa, sauna, swimming pool, gym, ice bath, natural pond, a beautiful garden. The chalet has the highest sustainability certification of "passive energy plus" (i.e., it produces more energy than it consumes).

Schliersee is a place where nature’s wisdom and human presence has been existing in harmonious balance for centuries. We hike to beautiful mountains and clear lakes directly from our chalet as base camp.

Best choice I made in a long time

I had a great and transforming time with Maren and Jens. They are wonderful hosts and took great care of our well being. The workshops were very professional and offered a plethora of new insights for me.
The house is extremly beautiful and comfortable and the food was simple delicious and nourishing for body and soul.
Last but not least, I was awed by the impressive mountain sight.

Life changing

Everything about the retreat was wonderful, the work of IFS and the embodiment worked so well together. The setting was incredible as was all of the food. We were encouraged to feel at home and that’s exactly what it was like. The deep work of IFS was a positive life changing experience for me and I will always be eternally grateful, I hope to return when I can to do another retreat here. The location and hiking were also great, I can’t say enough positive things about my experience, thank you Maren and Jens.

IFS therapy with Jens and Marin is a game changer

I had a lot to process through when I arrived at the retreat. I had some idea, but it was sort of shrouded in a cloud of mystery in my mind. By the end, everything was very clear. I have never been so clear about what the roots of my problems are. Jens and Marin held the group really well and slowly made everyone feel at ease and comfortable with deep sharing in a deeply relaxing and nourishing environment. I never felt like I was being rushed. The IFS work was uniquely supplemented with embodiment practices and hiking. As a result I have made progress on my therapeutic journey like never before. I will definitely book another retreat with them as soon as one is available. I did a lot of work, but I can see what work needs to be done now. I couldn't recommend IFS therapy with Alice Retreats highly enough. 6 out of 5 stars
