German term or phrase: Ankommen (hier)
Is anyone feeling inspired today?

Looking for something catchy yet elegant that captures the idea both of "Ankommen" in the sense of arriving at your holiday destination (a luxury chalet in the Alps) and the idea of "ankommen" as finding relaxation and inner peace/harmony.

Sentence: "Bereits bei der Ankunft beginnt ihr Ankommen - vor allem bei sich selbst".

Everything I have come up with so far sounds corny or too "esoterisch". It needs to sound authentic and classy - like the wooden chalet!

Explanation:
Your body and mind will find their natural equilibrium when you get there. Especially your mind.
