“As a massage therapist it fills me with joy and warms my heart to assist and guide clients on their unique transformative journey on the physiological level. I am absolutely grateful and excited to live, work and serve in the Garden of Nam.”
“It is wonderful to see visitors adjust and transform in this atmosphere, coming closer to their essence, which is the source of well-being and finding meaning.”
Ullrich Zimmermann, LMT
Ullrich Zimmermann is a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) with more than 25 years of experience. In the United States he received a thorough education in classical massage, specializing in deep tissue and trigger point work. Since then he has developed his own style of massage which gives not only deep relaxation, but also addresses existing issues within the muscles and fascias of the body. During a personal talk with the client, the right approach will be determined.
In the serenity of The Garden of Nam, surrounded by mountains, olive trees, and open sky, this retreat invites you to reconnect with your body and inner stillness. Through gentle stretching, resistance band exercises, meditation, and massage practice, you’ll rediscover balance — between strength and softness, effort and ease.
Whether you join for 3 or 5 days, this is a time to recharge your body, clear your mind, and nourish your inner vitality.
On the first day you arrive in the afternoon (airport shuttle service available), move into your cozy room and have a cup of tea in the serene atmosphere of the Garden of Nam. We will have a meditation, an introduction talk and a tasty and healthy meal for dinner.
The following two days we start with a stretching class before breakfast and follow the daily meditation schedule. Some time during the day you will receive a professional massage and we have another optional stretching exercise. These days are a gift you give to yourself — feel free to visit the village, the beach (driving available upon request) or do some volunteer work in the garden in your spare time.
A stay in the Garden of Nam unfolds its benefits and magic gradually and you are starting to actually ‘arrive’ in your own pace. We close the wellness event after breakfast the day of your departure.
The 5-day wellness event follows the same schedule as the 3-day event with an additional optional exercise class in the afternoon. The intensity of the sessions will be adjusted individually.
In this format we offer, next to the daily massages, your own active involvement by learning to massage certain areas of your body yourself. The stretching exercises will guide you and you can provide very beneficial support for the unfolding physiological changes.
You will be surprised about the levels of change you experience in body, mind and soul after a few short days of the active exercises and simply passively being in the catalytic environment of the Garden of Nam, because it supports every aspect of your being and allows a sense of wellness to unfold.
