Resilience Days with Donkeys

Donkey Retreat Days – Mindfulness and Relaxation in the Uckermark

If you’re looking to truly slow down and have a special experience, Stolzenhagen has just the thing for you: the rESELienztage with donkeys. Located right in the Unteres Odertal National Park, amidst the expansive landscapes of the Uckermark, animal-assisted workshops invite you to recharge your batteries—with gentle long-eared friends by your side.

Staying Healthy with Help from Animals

The term “resilience” refers to the ability to maintain mental well-being even in stressful situations. The rESELienztage – Staying Healthy with Donkeys program combines this theme with the experience of being in nature: Hiking, mindfulness, slowing down, and close interaction with the donkeys help you find inner peace. Whether as a day trip or part of a vacation in Brandenburg—this unique experience offers lasting relaxation.

Workshop Agenda: Nature, Animals, and New Perspectives

In addition to getting to know the donkeys, doing exercises in the meadow, and taking short donkey hikes to the Oder River, the program also includes theoretical sessions on resilience and reflections around the campfire.

Mindfulness Meets Nature Tourism

Unteres Odertal National Park, animals, physical activity, and interaction—this combination creates a space where people can get to know themselves better. The donkeys’ “stubborn” behavior quickly turns out to be honest feedback that encourages reflection. Every donkey has its own personality, just like us humans.

Resilience coach Inga Schewe and biologist Sarah Fuchs guide the process professionally and with compassion. This animal-assisted activity offers new ways to cope with the challenges of everyday life—a valuable experience, especially for people under a great deal of stress.

More than just a class—an eye-opening experience for body and soul

In the end, participants return home transformed. The combination of outdoor activities, mindful interaction with animals, and personal growth makes this event particularly memorable. It is an example of how tourism in Brandenburg can offer both relaxation and deeper insights.

Conclusion: The rESELienztage with donkeys offer a refreshing blend of vacation, hiking, nature, tranquility, and learning. A special experience for anyone who travels mindfully or simply wants to find some peace and quiet—right in the Uckermark, very close to Berlin.
