THE BLISS RETREAT
18-21 June 2026
Upper Austria
A four-day experience in Upper Austria in early summer
When was the last time you danced under the stars, in awe of the vastness of the cosmos? When was the last time you forgot about your phone, responsibilities, worries, time, and space, and fully immersed yourself in the present moment? When did you last take a deep breath of crystal-clear mountain air? When was the last time you truly let go and simply existed?
If it has been a while: come.
Retreat onto the mountain for a unique multi-dimensional experience, around the time of the summer solstice, when nature reaches its climax.
Going on a retreat can be one of the best things to do on your path. Even a short time can be a highly transformative experience.
Although it may seem wild to take a few days off and disconnect from technology and the world, it is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself.
The benefits of a retreat are immeasurable. It has the potential to set your life on a completely new course or bring you back into alignment..

“Bliss is being among a group of women with no intention of achieving anything but being together, connecting, eating, bathing, meditating and dancing. Pia's soft yet grounding presence and guidance allows for deep relaxation and connecting to divinity. The atmosphere of the Alm is just serene, the sounds, smells, colors grounding and inspiring.”

“For me, the Bliss Retreat was a reminder of slowness and of the essence. A returning to perceiving, enjoying, and simply being. In a small, lovely circle of wonderful women, in a beautiful place in nature with good food and space for magic. Simply blissful.”
Lena
“This magical retreat with Pia was truly one of the best gifts I gave myself in 2025. A breathtaking location, deeply nourishing food made with so much love, and a space that instantly feels safe and grounding.
Pia holds everything with such calm, wisdom, and heartfelt presence, creating sessions that invite you to slow down, soften, and reconnect.
Sauna, a hot tub with mountain views, soulful conversations, and the most incredible circle of women. I left feeling full, clear, and deeply grateful. I would come back every year.”
Anna
“The place itself feels like a quiet exhale: serene, still, almost suspended in time.
A space where you can truly recharge and nourish yourself, not only with food, but also through the teachings and practices on bliss and pure consciousness.
The small circle of women felt instantly comforting. After just a short while, it felt like family.

THE LOCATION
Our retreat will take place at Kreitalm, a charming chalet situated on a mountain between two lakes - Attersee and Traunsee - in the Salzkammergut region. The house is located in a serene environment, surrounded by nothing but lush forests and alpine meadows.
There will only be six women present, and we will have complete privacy to be as free, expressive and naked as we want without worrying about any onlookers (except for the cows, of course).
The chalet features a gorgeous newly renovated suite and terrace, where we will gather to practice. Additionally, there is a new sauna with a breathtaking view and an almfass, a hot tub that we can heat using firewood.
From the chalet's location, we can enjoy a beautiful view of the mountain range called Höllengebirge. At night, due to the location, it gets very dark, so the stars and the Milky Way are visible.
Why here?
It's no surprise that early Yogis retreated to the Himalayas to practice. The energy gets lighter as we ascend, and the spaciousness provides the ideal setting to expand one's consciousness.
I have been fortunate to travel to Asia, including the Himalayas and Thailand. However, as the years have passed, I have come to appreciate more and more the land of my birth. I grew up not far from where our retreat will take place, and I have hiked these mountains and swam in the surrounding lakes my entire life.
If you ask me, it is the most beautiful area in all of Austria. Bringing the teachings of the Eastern spiritual traditions to my homeland is very special to me and I would be honoured to have you come along on this journey.
Why now?
The timing of the retreat is also intentional:
We will gather on the days leading up to the summer solstice, the moment of maximum fullness in nature. It’s the perfect opportunity to connect to yourself deeply and plant the seed for the life you really want to live.
THE PRACTICE
This is not your average Yoga retreat. My approach to the teachings is explorational, experimental, and creative. There will be many different practices, from dance, to music meditation, creativity, to stillness and partner work.
Yet, there will be movement everyday.
We have yoga sessions in the morning from 8 to 10:30 a.m., before brunch, and practices and discussions in the afternoon or evening, before or after dinner.
Outdoor or indoor, depending on the weather, but always with a view of the mountain range.
Our practice will include various techniques such as breathing exercises, free movement, asana, and deep relaxation methods from the Tantric and Yogic tradition. These tools are suitable for everyone, regardless of prior experience.
Please note that “tantric” does not necessarily refer to sexual practices but to the classic tantric life-affirming philosophy, in which nothing is excluded. We work with the senses, the body, energies, emotions, and challenges to transform them into inner gold.
We will use music for our practices too, as well as enjoy periods of silence.
We want to stay present and mindful during our free time, to experience each moment completely. You are welcome to disconnect from technology and go offline.
WHAT IS BLISS?
Bliss is a state of deep contentment, joy, immense happiness, and pleasure - and much more than that.
We will explore the concept of bliss, or 'ananda', as described by the tantric masters through our senses, and also through contemplation, meditation and inquiry - yet
this is not a theoretical workshop, but rather an opportunity to gain experiential knowledge.
We will take a look at the obstacles standing in the way of experiencing bliss in our lives and release resistance to it. We will celebrate. And we will enjoy.

Much Love,
Pia

Hi, I am Pia, your host.
I walk a path devoted to the sacred and the beautiful, rooted in over 12 years of daily practice in Yoga, meditation, and Tantra.
I create gentle yet powerful spaces where women can reconnect with truth, aliveness, and stillness alike.
My work blends Hatha and Nidra Yoga, awareness practices and contemplation, and a whole range of different tools, inviting a return to what is real.
