Curious about Ayurveda but not ready for a longer retreat? Or simply want to find out whether it feels right for you? The Taster Retreat gives you a three-hour introduction to Mamma Karma Om — with plenty of time to experience, try things for yourself, and take practical ideas home with you.
The Taster Retreat is designed for women living with and beyond breast cancer — whether treatment is still ahead of you, you are currently receiving treatment, or you completed it some time ago.
Over three hours, you will learn about Ayurveda and explore simple practices that you can easily bring into everyday life. We will try out Ayurvedic morning and self-care routines, practise breathing techniques, and look at which approaches might work well for you. You will leave with practical ideas you have experienced for yourself, as well as a workbook covering the key topics from the afternoon.

The Taster Retreat is designed to be accessible and easy to take part in, with a gentle balance of activity and rest. You do not need any previous experience with Ayurveda or yoga.
You may also be able to take part while receiving cancer treatment. What matters is how you are feeling at the time and whether a three-hour workshop feels manageable for you. If you are unsure, just get in touch with me beforehand and we can discuss it together.
Women without a breast cancer diagnosis may occasionally join as well, as many of the topics are relevant beyond breast cancer. I reserve a maximum of one or two places per retreat for these participants — just let me know when you register.

I took part in a three-hour Ayurveda taster course with Frau Mamma in November 2023 and came away with a very good overview. The vivid presentation was very well put together didactically, ranging from theory, references to studies and literature, all the way to practical applications — trying out teas, oils, and herbs, a guided foot massage, and lots of tips on nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. Everything was very lovingly done, sensory, and varied, and we had fun, too! There was also plenty of room for questions and excellent follow-up. I have already incorporated some of the recommendations into my everyday life and can warmly recommend this experience.
Three very interesting hours with input and a relaxation portion, in which it is about yourself and not about the cancer.
I highly recommend the Ayurvedic Taster Retreat with Carmen! We had a good time in a warm atmosphere and came away with plenty of inspiration for a healthy life. After a brief introduction to the Ayurvedic concept, we were able to clarify quite a few questions through personal exchange and practical application. Thank you so much, Carmen!
Carmen’s Taster Retreat was a great opportunity to get to know her work. It was a wonderful, enriching experience and left me wanting more. I will definitely take part in a longer retreat in the future, and I have already booked an Ayurvedic massage with Carmen. Carmen is dedicated, full of energy, funny, competent, and takes her time for everyone. I can recommend her to every woman looking to better cope with the side effects of treatment.
