About the Festival
FemAcro Spirit provides an empowering and creative space for people who identify as female or gender nonconforming. This is your place to try out new roles in Acro and/or in life, to find/re-find strength, to share your joy, to show vulnerability, to heal and most of all to connect/re-connect with your femininity.
In this amazing 4-days Fest we will delight ourselves with loads of Acro, Yoga, Massage, Female circle, Breath work or Body Painting and more. Join us in this journey!
Our location
'Brunnenhaus' is a beautiful retreat centre in the heart of Germany. It was named after the many dwells around the house that used to provide the whole valley with fresh and clean water. Today it is a space for people from all walks of life that look for an escape from the busy city life and therefore has become a dwelling of creativity, connection and community.
The house with its huge garden is located in a nature preserved forest area, far away from big streets. At night you fall asleep to the sound of the little river slashing and in the morning, you wake up to the chirps and cackles of the birds. This place invites you to rediscover simplicity, connection to nature and one another.
‘Brunnenhaus’ can accommodate up to 40 people, there are dorms and double rooms available. The dining hall with a cute old piano invites you to hang out, chat or sing all night, unless there is a flaring fire calling to sit together outside. Two big rooms with wooden floors and high ceilings invite you to move, stretch and meditate.

Katharina Bauer
Acroyoga, Female circle, Music/ / Organizer
Katharinas first contact with Acroyoga was 10 years ago, since then her body changed. Her view on life changed. She found a way to heal herself outside and inside, feeling capable of doing so much more than ever expected. Accepting her body and her strength and transforming her alleged weakness into strength. This passion she wants to share with contagious enthusiasm and a smile. She is a dedicated mover focussing on including everyone. Her mission became to let everyone experience the feeling of lightness, movement and community.

Susanne Thiel
Partner Acrobatics
"Susanna sure moves a lot", a teacher said about Susanna during 5th grade – meaning to point out that sitting still and her were two opposing poles. Susanna proved her right, especially during gymnastics and enthusiastic dancing. At the same time, Susanna was interested in people’s cooperation and society, in what keeps us together and what drives us apart as humans. This led her to study politics, history, and finally migration studies. She now works in migration policy in Düsseldorf, Germany, 2016.
During her studies in Brighton (UK), Susanna found her way to acrobatic yoga, which provided her with a worldwide community and a lively connection with other people – the yogic Sangha. At the same time, she rediscovered her love for movement - with others, but also during yoga practice.
Susanna sees acrobatics and yoga as a way to experience yourself and to connect with the world, and to explore boundless possibilities with lots of laughter in between.
