51th Retreat Symposium
A very special event for us at MSE-1 this year was the 51st Retreat Symposium in October. This year’s chair seminar took place at the Hotel Wutzschleife in the Upper Palatinate. Our Retreat Symposium at MSE-1 already looks back on a 50-year tradition. In the early years, participants met at Bernhardshöhe, then at Sattelbogener Hof […]
