A place of relaxation

Let us travel and do some good to us and to others
Information for those on the lookout for a place of relaxation
 
Or for those wanting a few days of peace
 
Transylvania: beyond the mountains. Here is the locality of Iacobeni (Jakobsdorf / Jakabvalva) where a small paradise is thriving: the "House of Silence". Next to the respectable ecumenical basilica dating back to the 12th century, now completely renovated on the inside, there is this little rustic house offering a beautiful view over the village, a village where time seems to have frozen. In any season

you can find here an oasis of peace or relaxation and you can stay for a couple of days, for a month, or for the entire year.
 
Peace of mind, relaxation for the body. Let’s take a deep breath, forget about all our worries, be alone, do nothing.
 
Let’s leave our watches, cell phones and laptops at home, listen to no news, and forget about restaurants and disco clubs. Let’s walk instead on the wooded hills, in the fresh air. Let’s visit the villages in the Carpathians, by cart, or in winter, by sleigh, and talk about God and the world. Let’s have an open dialog with the "priest of thorns" or with other persons, and enjoy a high quality Romanian wine. Let’s sleep to our hearts’ content and have breakfast at nightfall. Let’s read a book, write a poem or a novel, put down on a piece of paper a making-up or love letter that we have long been planning to write. Let’s breathe in the air laden with history in the old basilica and feel the divine breath, remember and learn from the village the meaning of modesty and admit that the complaints of Western people are exaggerated. Let’s have contact with simple people and see the conditions the Romany are living in. Let’s prey in an Orthodox monastery of monks or visit old historical towns. Let’s meet abandoned but happy children and play and sing with them. Let’s think about our current existence, find ourselves again, start over. No one can run from oneself. It is so good that you come here body and soul. The "House of Silence" is a house for individualists. Disabled people as well can benefit from personal care here.
 
Seminars, conferences or meditation days can be organized for small groups. Simple as well as luxury rooms are available. For young groups there is a spacious bedroom. In the large garden of the parish house there is a swimming pool around which tents can also be set up.
 
All profits made by this house will go to the abandoned children. Iacobeni is 60 km away from Sibiu. There is also an airport in Sibiu
