Our Vision: For more than 15 years it has been Chris's dream to offer a space for people to come together to share, laugh, grow and expand. And that's what it is all about! The Sun Raven Wellness Retreat is a special place to come and reconnect with Mother Earth, other people, and most of all with our self. We belief, this is the first step to a rejuvenating holiday for body, mind, heart and soul. We ask everybody who stays with us to leave the land 1% better then they found it. Within a very short time this will develop in to a vortex of great healing and will radiate out in all directions. With this goal you will understand, that we carry a no alcohol, no drug policy. And we ask the smokers to go outside. Your the facilitator: Chris began practicing Reiki in 1986 and received her Master initiation in 1991. Chris has studied metaphysical concepts and meditation for over 20 years. And her experience and training as a World Cup Competitor (representing Germany) extended her knowledge on the connection of body, mind and spirit and the power of a positive mental program. This principles where instrumental for her success. Chris won the European- Cup six times, Placed twice second in the World-Cup and Finished third at the World Grand Prix in 1980. While competing in the 1982 World Cup Final in France, she suffered a paralyzing injury to her back. By using her internal power tools she totally recovered and was walking again in just eight month. A search for more information on other tools to excel the human experience and in reaching balance with all creation lead her to study with many different masters in this field. As a Reiki Master, Chris is committed to making this Life-Energy available to as many people as possible. In this time of change and crisis, healing is too desperately needed for it to be kept secret or excusive any longer. For many years now Chris has been teaching personal and professional seminars and has been featured on radio, television, magazines and newspapers. Chris is available for speaking engagements to groups, companies and corporations. She is a dynamic speaker and her open and easygoing personality makes it easy to follow the steps to success.
