Silent Retreats in Germany 2026
Is it all getting to be too much? When we go through challenging times, it can help to talk to someone we trust and seek support through coaching. What often provides lasting relief is coming back to yourself. Silent retreats can be a valuable support in this: during a silent retreat, you can learn to quiet your busy mind and gain new perspectives on yourself and your life.
In this overview, you will find silent retreats held in Buddhist meditation centres as well as Christian monasteries throughout Germany in 2026.
Please note that this list does not claim to be exhaustive. Dates may be subject to change or cancellation. If you have any questions, please contact the organisers directly. Retreats held in English are marked with a *.
Enjoy browsing and finding your perfect silent retreat!
