Meet the Cal Reiet Team: Uschi Schena

Cal Reiet is more than a hotel. It’s more than a holistic retreat escape. It’s a family. And everyone involved in this beautiful project is unique. We believe in the power of people, in the power of doing good things for others and in the power of healing as a group, because empathy is what’s most important to build up. So now we have decided to introduce the Cal Reiet team members individually for you to get to know them better, to understand their background and to discover why they are working with us at Cal Reiet. Here goes the second ‘meet the team’ article!

Meet the Cal Reiet Team: this is Uschi

My name is Uschi Schena, and this is my third season working at the front desk at Cal Reiet and taking care of the yoga & treatments department.

I”ve been on «the spiritual path» for quite some years, and it still makes me smile thinking that I somehow manifested Cal Reiet for myself. I was working in another little boutique hotel for many years when I thought that I actually love what I do – but I hate the long drive every day, so it would be amazing to have a) a job in walking distance and b) that has something to do with spirituality! Not too long after that Cal Reiet opened its doors! I always had a really special connection to the Universe, you know.

Petra & Henning as owners as well as Johanna as hotel manager are at eye level with the staff – they are truly open for new thoughts, suggestions and productive input and always have an open ear for us. For me, as entrepreneurs they are pioneers on the right path to create a different future – which is desperately needed!

Not to forget the amazing food we enjoy every day! I am a passionate cook myself, but I always use to say that I eat even better at work! All food is vegetarian or vegan, seasonal, organic – what else can you wish for?

Last but not least – the most touching part of my job for me is the people I meet on my path – no matter if colleagues, guests or just visitors stopping by for an instant. Looking back at my life so far, Miten”s song fragment:

«… And all that remains
when we”re free of our chains
is the love we shared»

is absolutely coherent! Can”t wait to keep on sharing beautiful, deep and nourishing experiences with people walking in through Cal Reiet”s doors!
