Yoga & Nature Retreat in Switzerland
Schweibenalp – an oasis of inspiration in the heart of Switzerland
Yoga-Retreat in Switzerland
Yoga | Meditation | Nature | Vegetarian | Lake
Join us for this ultimate Yoga & Nature Retreat at the center of Switzerland in Schweibenalp, located in the Bernese Oberland at 1100m, overlooking the turquoise Lake Brienz. This is an event exclusively arranged for a small group where we will indulge ourselves in yoga and meditation, healthy vegetarian food, and time to enjoy Nature.
As a living and working community, the center of the unity Schweibenalp hosts retreats and seminars and maintains the permaculture gardens. They are part of the Global Ecovillage network and have been contributing to the development of a holistic lifestyle and universal spirituality since 1982.
The Schweibenalp
The center of unity Schweibenalp is a space for universal spirituality. The different traditions of wisdom have a commonplace of silence and power – the temple of unity. Everyone is welcome here!
The guesthouse with its 90 beds was built in the early days of Swiss mountain tourism. The guest rooms are simply and lovingly designed. On each floor, there are newly built mixed floor showers and toilets.
All meals are vegetarian and organic, when possible with regional products. Depending on the season, herbs and vegetables from the permaculture gardens are used for the meals.
