Summer Retreat
1 - 3 August 2024
"Emerging with Nature"
Location: Maderanertal, Canton Uri
Language: German/English
Price: Chf 489
Leave your everyday life behind for 3 days and dive into a world of stillness and wonder.
The Maderanertal is a true paradise to unwind, energise and reconnect with yourself and nature.
During three days and two nights, this magnificent valley will be our home, where we will hike, rest, reflect, share, gather around the fire and sleep under the stars.
We live to the rhythm of nature and go completely back to basic. We collect wood in the forest, make delicious meals on the fire and build our camp. Each day, we hike for a maximum of 3 hours on mountain hiking trails of low to intermediate difficulty.
There will be room for reflection and contemplation. For yoga and meditation. For a dip in a cold mountain stream. For consciously experiencing, feeling and sharing. We involve nature in our personal process and follow impulses. We work together as a group and learn from each other. We celebrate life with a special ritual and let our experiences sink in.
You will start to reconnect with yourself, open up to your life, feel more grounded and powerful, more energized. You may however being pushed outside of your comfort zone. This can feel challenging. It means growth, letting go of the old, and embracing the new in you. Being in nature will help you to calm your nervous system and reconnect with your heart. You will get more clarity and a better sense of direction. You will feel connected again to your own resources.
