The power of Mantra and Yantra to change one’s structure, to allow for the divine to manifest more in oneself, in the form of awareness and skillful means. Is unparalleled by any other practice.

Using the secret knowledge of the Tantric Mantra Sadhana One is able to take a shortcut in ones evolution, allowing or a shorter and relatively effortless Transformation into a tool of the divine.

4 times per year the goddess is “born”, these are the four Navratris: Aswini, Ganga Dakshina, Chetra & Shakumbari. The birth of the goddess (shakti) is a symbol of the cyclical change of the energies which are dominant in the various quarters of the year, and so every three months a new period is begun, a new goddess or energy exerts its effects on the planet. In the two more important of these Navratris being Ashwini and Chetra Navratris, Alpenretreat celebrates the Maa-Festival.

In the Maa-Festival a yantra, a spiritual diagram made from earth, sprouting grains, urns and jewels, which corresponds to one of the 10 cosmic powers. By creating this yantra at these specific times of the year, the practitioners are able to harmonize with the changing energies of nature. At the same time the effect of the sadhana performed in the presence of the yantra and in these special times is greatly amplified, and those results that can take months and years of sadhana to manifest take only a few days in these special circumstances.

By Car

Located on the Tyrolean Fernpass, in the north-west of Austria, close to the German border the AlpenRetreat is easily reached via the Fernpassstrasse B179 (E532).
At the top of the Fernpass (Fernpasshöhe) there is a petrol station named "Dolle". Opposite of it on the other side of the street is a roadside restaurant (Fernpaß Rast), a red building, and a big yellow building (the former Fernpass hotel). Follow the small street between the restaurant and the yellow house for about 200m and you have reached the AlpenRetreat.

Places connected by the Fernpassstraße
Füssen – Reutte – Heiterwang – Lermooser Tunnel – Fernpass (AlpenRetreat) – Nassereith. At the border-tunnel in Füssen the Fernpassstrasse connects with the federal highway 310 and the A 7. In Nassereith it merges into the B 189 along the Inntal (Inn valley) in direction south-east towards Telfs and in south-west direction towards Imst.

In winter it is compulsory in Austria to have winter tires on your car. Although the Fernpassstrasse is well maintained and therefore easily accessible, sometimes the streets can still be covered in snow. In exceptional cases snow chains may be required (very rarely). If you are coming with a rental car, make sure it is equipped with winter tires (the rental company is obliged to provide this).
