Thich Nhat Hanh was one of the most influential Buddhist teachers of our time. As a peace activist and founder of “engaged Buddhism,” he not only left a significant mark on the Vietnam War but also introduced the practice of mindfulness to the West. His teachings have greatly shaped the modern Mindful Living movement, which is gaining increasing importance in our fast-paced world.

Falling into the fountain of youth once and never get old or ill. The desire for a long and healthy life is growing. The associated trends are called longetivity and healthy ageing.

Proper nutrition is part of holistic well-being. Of course, this is also recognised at Melea – The Health Concept, a retreat in Hungary with an innovative concept for well-being.

Chef Gábor Gyurik reveals his favourite smoothie recipe and which sacred unit of measurement he uses for wine.

Over 100 substances are removed with the Ayus BodyClearance® programme. In simple terms, blood is filtered before it is returned to the body without removing vitamins and minerals. The so-called eluate, the filtered substances, are then tested in our own laboratory to determine the extent of exposure to heavy metals, pesticides, plasticisers and solvents. Incidentally, everyday products are also currently being tested for harmful substances in the laboratory.

Sure, we can wash our body and hair. But what do we do with all the toxic substances inside us? They can’t simply be removed with soap and shampoo. With BodyClearance®, the Ayus Group offers a treatment program that tackles this problem using the innovative INUSpheresis® therapy.

If you feel good, you can slow down. How do you succeed in feeling good? The Hotel Schwarzschmied has a lot to offer here, but one thing above all: a holistic wellness concept that is more than just the sum of yoga sessions and spa treatments. It is a feeling. The feeling of letting go, slowing down and finding yourself.
