Date: June 11-14th, 2026
Four days, three nights retreat at the beautiful Schweibenalp Centre of Unity hosted by Mandy and Myriam.
Take a break from your routine and come to Schweibenalp in Interlaken, the most scenic region of Switzerland. Immerse in Nature in this natural “kraftort” power place and recharge your inner battery with deeply nourishing practices amongst mountains, waterfalls, rivers and fields.
Hosted at the Centre of Unity, this four-day retreat invites you to step away from daily life and sink into the healing embrace of Nature. Awaken each morning surrounded by mountains, waterfalls, and a magnificent turquoise lake for nourishing yoga, yoga nidra, sound healing and meditation to nurture the wisdom of your inner teacher.. Wander through ancient forests, sit beside rivers and waterfalls, and let the land restore what daily life has depleted. Share meals of nutritious vegetarian food and let community hold you. .
We will spend time in the forest, by the river and by a waterfall connecting to Nature and experiencing an “Awakening the Five Senses” practice led by Deep Ecology practitioner Krisdean.
