Inis Meáin Inspiration Weeks

Can you believe it’s already been 9 days since we rang in the New Year? While all traces of that crushing headache you had on the afternoon of the 1st are hopefully long gone, there might just be some confetti still lingering in those dark places behind the sofa — or, dare we say it? — swept under the rug. Something else from the New Year that’s still lingering but easily swept into a corner? Yep, you guessed it, it’s all those grand plans and promises you had for 2012. Bring them back out into the light! They deserve it, and so do you! No space to think, you say? Then Inis Meáin Inspiration Weeks at none other than White Line Hotels Edit Inis Meáin Restaurant & Suites is exactly what you’ve been dreaming of.

BEYOND DAILY STRUGGLE

Not “beyond” in the sense of “way more than”, but rather in “stepping past” — and when the words following that “beyond” are “daily struggle”, you can be beyond happy in the former sense that this time it’s meant in the latter — White Line Hotels edit Hotel Miramonte is offering an inviting series of retreats this September to help you break out of the box of your daily routine for a freer and happier life. They’re coming up fast, but even if you can’t run away on such short notice this time, be sure to check in with their special offers again soon; you just know their next offers will be every bit as exciting.

From the 16th until the 18th BEYOND DAILY STRUGGLE – TRANSFORM STRESS INTO VIGOR offers practical exercises and lifestyle coaching for a more stress free and happier life for everyday life led by Leela Isani and Frank Weckesser of the SELF Empowerment Company, who have specialized in wellness and lifestyle retreats. Outside of group sessions, a special cook will provide for the physical welfare under the motto “Soul food”, and plenty of personal time allows the chance to take a treatment at the Aveda Spa. Where could be better than isolated mountain beauty of Bad Gastein to withdraw in order to renew?

The week after, from the 22nd to the 25th, YOGA MEDITATION AYURVEDA will teach beginners as well as more experienced practitioners methods and techniques that can easily flow back into your everyday life. Guided yoga programmes in the morning and evening (90 min.) are complemented by outdoor walks, and of course the incredible food and views you can expect anytime from Hotel Miramonte. Experience how to be in balance, increase your vitality without pressure, stress reduction through mindfulness, to be in contact with inner joy.

Don’t forget to feel the exhilaration of standing at the base of the Gastein Waterfall, and if you’re lucky maybe you’ll get to test your inner peace by meeting with an Alpine cow.

Q: Ever wanted to be an hotelier? A: Rent a Hotel!

A lot of things get in the way of dreams. Aside from the easy scapegoats on that well-worn laundry list (time, money, family responsibilities), there are a few that are much more difficult to confront. Not enough natural talent? Crippling fear of failure? When you start to try to address those list-members, it suddenly becomes much easier not to snicker at the recent explosion of fantasy-style “adult camps” like Adult Space Academy and Rock N Roll Fantasy Camp. Who doesn’t want to tap back a little into the mind of themselves as a child, before you even knew what a voice of doubt was?

If the dream you never fulfilled was to become a hotelier, White Line Hotels Edit Piz Tschütta is offering a chance to live out that fantasy from the middle of October until the Christmas season and again just after the New Year, and with a 10% discount if you opt for November.

Although training in the ins and outs of the hotel industry isn’t included, you do get to choose from renting either 5 or 9 rooms for your exclusive use, which of course includes the kitchen. If the 100% hands-on approach isn’t your imagined hotelier-style, hiring a cook can be organized as well. Whether for business, a special getaway with friends, or a family reunion, let you fantasy run wild at Vná’s Piz Tschütta.

Even if those dreams are all grown-up now too, and the one left unfulfilled is only one of perfect peace and quiet, you won’t be let down either.
