Bookshop
A good book opens both heart and the senses, it awakens its readers and makes them more susceptible to the experience of others, sometimes only for a brief moment, sometimes for a lifetime. Books – in the spirit of Benediktushof – mediate everything that enriches the human experience and everything that Benediktushof stands for:
Contemplation, mindfulness and Zen meditation
This is why in the bookshop of Benediktushof you will find all things promoting relaxation and inner collectedness. Customers of our bookshop are greeted by a broad offer of literature from different kinds of Christian contemplation, mindfulness, Zen meditation, and lifestyle.
The assortment of our bookshop also holds books on courses we offer at Benediktushof, as well as publications of our teachers – an introduction to meditation, publications by Willigis Jäger, Alexander Poraj, and Doris Zölls – as well as a variety of other topics of different meditation paths.
Matching music, lectures, and guided meditations on CD and DVD, as well as gongs, singing bowls, Ikabena-accessories, oils, and incense are also available. If you wish to furnish a meditation space, you can find everything you need to do so in our shop: mats, meditation cushions, and meditation benches.
Benediktushof’s bookshop wishes to be a place for lingering. In between the books or on the sun terrace in the summer there is time and space enough for you to browse, have a listen or otherwise try our offers. While you’re at it, why don’t you have a coffee, tea or other cold beverage to accompany your exploration? Our bookshop warmly welcomes you to read, hear, and taste our offers – so that you can enjoy life with all your senses.
In this time of restricted seminar operation, the business hours of the bookshop and farm store will also change. If you want to make sure that the shops are open during your visit, please call ahead to confirm.
