Women of Longevity

Refugium Refugium

Health and vitality are not a matter of luck.

But a conscious decision.
Yet true change does not arise from knowledge alone – but through experience, exchange, and tangible insights.
At the “Women of Longevity” retreat, you can expect five days with a lasting impact:
featuring leading female experts, well-founded lectures, the latest longevity approaches, practical self-assessments – and space for what is often neglected in everyday life: me-time, reflection, and conversations among like-minded women.
The next retreat will take place from November 9 to 13, 2025.
If you would like to join, please send us your inquiry now.
Places are limited. The impact is not.

‘Women of Longevity’ retreat from 10-14 November 2024

From 10-14 November 2024, the Krallerhof was filled with an extraordinary energy! A group of impressive women came together to discover new perspectives on a long, healthy and fulfilling life. We were deeply touched and motivated by the unique atmosphere created by this community. Together we not only learnt, but also laughed, exchanged ideas and strengthened each other. Special thanks go to Kristine Zeller, Dr Kati Ernst, Sukkhadas Ingo Auer and Simone Kumhofer for the lectures and workshops, as well as to our strong partners Botanicals ®, NOOSHA, OMNi-BiOTiC® and MICALÉ VISIONS, who spoilt our participants with goodie bags!
