Oliver Reuter

We have wonderful memories of the tour. It's great that we were only a small group, so it was super relaxed. Maria, Oliver and of course Chaquirita are lovely and very likeable people who bring you closer to the nature, beauty and special features of Mexico with their tour. The cocoa ceremony in particular was something very special for us - apart from the fact that the cocoa tasted great (best cocoa I've ever had), the whole ceremony was also very nice. Thank you so much for this adventure. A tour with the three of them is highly recommended. Franzi :)

We were a great group and experienced a lot and learned a lot of new things. It was nice and relaxing to immerse ourselves in a different world again. The program is great, but quite intensive and I personally would have needed a bit more 'me-time' to let the experiences sink in.

I enjoyed the yoga retreat in Bali by Oliver extraordinarily.

We had the incredible luck to experience a very private retreat with few participants, which had many advantages. Oliver always responded to our wishes and adapted the schedule individually to us. Both Oliver's yoga classes and the external yoga classes were a great experience. I was introduced to a completely different yoga than I already knew through Oliver.
The coaching sessions with Oliver were all special. I especially enjoyed the Breathworkseminar with ice bath as well as the individual talks. I was able to gain a lot of new experiences with Oliver and also work out an approach to deal with the past. Since I was able to gain a great deal of trust in Oliver, I will now also be happy to continue coaching with him.

The activities of the retreat were also carefully and individually chosen. So we were not only able to experience coaching sessions and yoga, but also e.g. a silent hike through the rice fields of Ubud or a spiritual cleansing in one of the temples on Bali. This was a very special experience, which we were all allowed to share.

Both the accommodation and the food on site (breakfast) and off (lunch and dinner) left nothing to be desired. Oliver picked out exactly the right delicious restaurants in Bali. Allergies were always taken into consideration and great alternatives were offered.
The Basundari Resort in Ubud is a beautiful hotel with very high comfort and invites in the free time to linger by the pool. The yoga shala also has a great view of the surrounding jungle, which made the yoga classes very special. Another special aspect of Basundari is its staff. One felt very welcome and the feeling that the resort staff is a small family. Every wish was fulfilled and one was treated very courteously as a guest. An oasis in Ubud.

The only small criticism I can make is that it was sometimes a bit hectic when it came to leaving for dinner. But this was sometimes also due to us participants sometimes. A suggestion for improvement would be to sometimes take out one or two program points, even if you then have less activities outside of the yoga and coaching. But this is a very personal opinion, because I was mainly interested in the aspect of coaching and yoga.
However, in order to be able to pick up all participants, Oliver accordingly offers a lot, which I generally find very good.

In conclusion, I can only warmly recommend Oliver's retreats. Oliver is a kind-hearted, open person, for whom it is important to understand his participants and to help them individually in their lives. I especially liked that Oliver shared all his experiences in life very openly with us and did not give you the feeling that his way is the only right one.

If you are on the same wave as Oliver, then a retreat with him is certainly the right thing to do. Oliver was always nice and offered his help, but sometimes there are people with whom you just don't share the same vibe and no one can help that. With some people you can, with others not. But this is a very personal thing and the other person can't do anything about it. Oliver is a very compassionate and emphatic person and tries to get the best out of himself and the participants.

Oliver accompanied me on my personal as well as professional journey for a time. It was very individual, at my own pace, according to my needs and at the same time challenged and encouraged by his perspectives, valuable input and questions. Today almost half a year later I am much closer to my goals and myself. I can imagine another coaching session at another time and I heartily recommend Oliver's guidance.

After my participation in the Yoga Retreat in Tenerife, I decided to do the coaching with Oliver. I felt very understood by Oliver. Together we defined my goal of the coaching, described my starting situation and worked from there. I especially liked the flexibility in scheduling and the ability to contact Oliver at any time. Likewise, his documents on various coaching topics were well prepared and understandable. At our appointments we worked through the topics I had worked on and Oliver asked me further questions. I found the coaching environment to be trusting and safe.
Overall, I recommend Oliver's coaching for 'coaching newbies' and people who are at the beginning of a change.

The Reconnect Yourself Retreat with Oliver exceeded my expectations. The location, the catering and the entire retreat program were lovingly organized and executed. I felt comfortable all around. Personally, the exchange with like-minded people and the combination of movement (yoga sessions) and group discussions brought me a lot of clarity and understanding. I felt calmness and serenity. With the help of the retreat I found access to my inner self, nature and spirituality.

The retreat was in every aspect from the heart and the highest quality. Unique is the program with hikes in wild nature and the whale tour as a highlight - but in silence. What comes up in oneself touches, changes, stimulates to think and act. Oliver succeeds lovingly and professionally in bringing people into contact with each other and with themselves. Excellent food (Soulfood) and a cozy location in the green rounded off the experience. Anyone who is looking for depth in themselves and a time out with ease and fun, is right here :)

Mr. Reuter is an excellent networker and demonstrated excellent know how in group management before, during and after the retreat. Being able to rely on professional organization makes a lot of difference in a yoga and relaxation retreat. So you can better concentrate on your own essential wishes and intentions !

I participated in the January retreat. Immediately before the start of the retreat, some displeasure and uncertainty arose in the group because Anina Gepp had cancelled her participation in the retreat at short notice - she was supposed to lead some (yoga) classes. Almost all participants had signed up exactly because of Anina. But Oliver found top replacements - the yoga lessons of the external yoga teachers were all in their own way a pleasure, of high quality and very inspiring.

And I was soon glad that Anina was not part of the retreat, I think she would have rather disturbed the beautiful harmony in the group (drawing the energy) that formed during the week - super great girls, each in her own way.

The week was densely packed, which I thought was super good. My personal highlights were (in this order) the Sharing Circle, the Sound Journey, Conscious Whale Watching, the little hike on Teide, and of course the Coco June concert. There were magical moments that will remain in my memory.

My accommodation was simple, but had authentic charm (I was in Casa Rural) and sharing the room with a stranger at first (who turned out to be very sympathetic afterwards) was a challenge for me, especially because the bathroom was open (no closed walls). However, it must be said clearly that the quality of the individual accommodations varied greatly - some participants lived much nicer/more comfortable than others. This led to displeasure at the beginning of the week - which I can also understand.

The food in the Casa rural was fantastic - everything freshly prepared - healthy- vegetarian/vegan - TOP! Now and then the quantity was scarce, but this was immediately corrected after my "intervention". The cook Anna was in the kitchen for us from early in the morning until late at night - THANK YOU for that!

Oliver organized the retreat well - the really important things all worked out very well. From previous reviews on this platform, I did know that transportation/shifting to the individual activities could be a problem. Promptly I was then also asked directly on the 1st day by Oli whether I could provide chauffeur services with my rental car. After a first small "consternation" was then but really ok for me, Oli has then also thanked me at the end of the week with a sweet cocoa surprise. So everything is fine. Nevertheless, I would advise Oli to solve this driving story "cleanly" in a next retreat. Bite the bullet and rent a bus according to the group size or similar.

With open criticism we Swiss do hard... but I overcome myself: Oliver as a yoga instructor is quite frank and honestly rather average. That was ok, but was not a highlight and then becomes rather boring at some point towards the end of the week. And the cocoa ceremony was not coherent for me - the whole thing was so put on... well-intentioned criticism. But Oliver has only been on the road for a short time...

About the role of Oliver: for me it is impossible that one and the same person manages the week organizationally and at the same time takes the role of a spiritual teacher with a corresponding aura. These are two completely different roles and altitudes, which I would not combine in the same retreat in one person. I currently see Oliver's potential more in management than in guiding the yoga practice. What Oliver masters well is the healthy measure of closeness and distance to/with the participants.

Our week was unique - unique in the interaction of all forces: the harmonious constellation of our group, the good weather, the beautiful program points, the positive momentum that showed up so often - OUR retreat week cannot be repeated IDENTICALLY. I myself had a very wonderful week in Oli's retreat with enriching encounters and experiences.

The next retreat will be different, because a different location, probably different teachers, etc.. Therefore it would not be serious to give a recommendation for the NEXT retreat here. But MY experience was great.

the week was really a great experience. the individual program points were nice, there were many highlights, such as a silent hike or whale watching. what disturbed my relaxation, however, was the organization. the schedule was never kept, times were constantly shifted and often i had the feeling that i had to rush to the next program point. the retreat took place in 2 places that were 15 minutes away on foot. it would have been nice if this running back and forth had been better planned. for me personally, the number of participants of 18 was too large. what was an absolute highlight for me was the food. there was fresh healthy vegan / vegetarian cuisine every day. the only drawback here were the quantities, as some things were out very quickly and were no longer replenished. all in all, the week was really nice

It was a valuable experience with great people in a wonderful place!
The cultural park Mariposa is a beautiful place and invites you to stay, reflect, switch off. The perfect place for a retreat! I went there with no expectations of change and yet arrived back home positively changed. I am very grateful for that!
Nevertheless, here are a few points that could be improved:
- On some days too many program points, so that it was more stress and the focus on oneself was lost.
- Many, often very short-term shifts of the program points
- The accommodation (rooms) on Mariposa are for the most part very impractical, cold and make a less than hygienic impression. The furnishings are very bare and uncharitable. Even if you don't spend much time in the room, it should be clean and have the necessary equipment such as clean white sheets and not stained black sheets. Fortunately, I was able to change the accommodation and stay in Casa Rural.
- The second accommodation Casa Rural in Arona is nicer and better equipped. But it is 15 minutes walk from the Mariposa Cultural Park. Since we change between Casa Rural and Mariposa several times a day, the walking time has to be included in the program. This was not the case at the beginning. Also, e-bikes or e-scooters would be a pleasant alternative to walking back and forth all the time. Nevertheless, the walks between the two places were fine.
- The food was very good and of very good quality. Even if you are not vegetarian or vegan, at the latest after the week you feel the need to recreate the great dishes. Unfortunately, the food and drinks were sometimes quickly out of stock and were only partially replenished.
- The yoga teachers and workshops were creative and professional. Only Oliver seems a bit inexperienced and for me not open enough for other ways of thinking. He lives in his world, which is very beautiful, but there are also people who don't want to be dropouts and still find themselves. Patience and understanding is important here. Change is a journey and does not look the same for everyone*. But he was always friendly and eager.
Even if there were a few criticisms of the organization and accommodation for me, the retreat was an enrichment!

All in all, I had a very special and valuable week in Oliver's retreat. Besides the mostly high quality program points, this was mainly due to the unbelievably great group. The many lovely people simply made the difference. The program was very good with one small exception. Only the KaKao ceremony followed by the Ho'oponopono ritual was not authentic at all and seemed forced. It seemed to me as if a play was being performed. The spark did not jump over to me at all. I didn't feel comfortable the whole evening and had the impression that something was being put over me. But the rest was very good. I would also like to mention the incredibly delicious food from the cooks from the accommodation Casa Rural. It was every day and every single meal a treat. The whale-watching tour was also an unforgettable experience, because it has so nothing to do with the conventional tours.
You can tell that Oliver has not been doing retreats like this for very long. A lot of things were a bit chaotic. But he does it all by himself, which is a huge task and a big challenge. But he did it really well. With increasing experience, the process will certainly become a bit smoother. Even if some things didn't run so smoothly and he seemed stressed at some moments, he always tried very hard to make the best of the situations. Through his dedication, he created the framework that made the week a magical experience for the whole group.

I can only recommend it wholeheartedly to everyone. The retreat was an incredible enrichment for me. The program was varied and always connected with many emotions. I was able to find peace and escape from everyday life after "only" 6 days. So many wonderful people enriched my week and will surely be part of my life for a long time. Thank you for the deeply moving moments, thank you for the delicious local food, which was always prepared with love by the kitchen team. Everything was fresh and wholesome.
Namaste 🙏🏻🧘‍♀️💕🫶🏼
