Date: June 11-13th, 2027
Four days, three nights retreat at the beautiful Schweibenalp Centre of Unity hosted by Myriam and Phylis.
Take a break from your routine and come to interfaith centre 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 weekend retreat invites you to step away from daily life and sink into the healing embrace of Nature and Spirituality. Awaken each morning surrounded by mountains, waterfalls, and a magnificent turquoise lake for nourishing yoga, yoga nidra, interfaith spiritual chants and meditation. 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 powerful waterfall recharging with Nature.
