Ruha Circle — retreat center

Ruha Circle

Find your bearings among the trees

Germany Breydin donation

A forest retreat within reach of Berlin, Ruha Circle is guided by a simple spiritual intention: helping people feel more aligned with themselves and the wider whole. The secluded setting at Neue Mühle gives retreat time a quieter backdrop than a city venue, while practical comforts include a sauna, towels, free parking and a shared kitchen. Retreats may suit a range of dietary needs, with vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free options listed; ask the host how meals are arranged for your dates. The center runs by donation, so there is no fixed fee. Getting there takes a little care: car navigation can send drivers to the wrong place, and the host recommends a specific approach via Akazienweg. Public transport reaches the nearby area from Eberswalde, with a shuttle that can be requested in advance. Come prepared for a nature-focused stay and confirm the retreat’s schedule and arrangements before travelling.
