Surrendering into the lightness and silence of the mountains and letting go of everyday worries opens a peaceful space for insights and breakthroughs.
A RETREAT IN THE SWISS MOUNTAINS
If you are one of the many people who are stressed, overwhelmed, or confused about how to move forward in your life, this retreat is designed to bring you back to calm, centered, and into the fuller sense of yourself with the clarity and energy you need.
““We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.””
Your challenges, stress, overwhelm, or desire for something new in your life cannot be solved within the frame of your routine everyday existence. That’s where all that got created.
Mindful meditation calms the mind and body to give space for thoughts and feelings to exist without disturbing us.
Discussions and gentle coaching guide you to clarity and possibility around the challenges and opportunities in your life.
Wellness returns your body to a natural state and restores the energy for thriving in your life.
If you are
Bored or not enjoying life the way you used to
Stressed and/or overwhelmed
Frequently anxious or nervous
Confused about what’s next for you
Ready for a reset in your life
This weekend away is a path to addressing those challenges.
A retreat in the Swiss mountains is a time away for renewal, reflection, and clarity.
I will guide you in this peaceful and energizing space with relaxing meditations, clarifying coaching, and other powerful practices to help you release persistent patterns of thinking and enable an effortless flow of possibility in your life.

Deepen and expand your meditation practice

The Hotel
You can view an introduction (in German) to the Berglodge 37 in this video.
Philosophy and Sustainability
“The Berglodge37 is the ideal place for curious people who want to network with each other. We want to contribute to a vital and inspired life.
It is our goal to support people in their efforts to achieve the highest possible level of vitality and to lead a fulfilling life. The beautiful and diverse mountain landscape of the Eggberge is ideal for this.
Inspiring workshops and fireside chats are intended to promote interdisciplinary exchange between pioneers and those who think differently. With tolerance towards people and humility towards nature and the environment, an authentic mountain oasis for grown-ups is to be created.
The Berglodge37 is managed according to the latest findings of sustainable, responsible entrepreneurship. The Berglodge37 was built exclusively with Swiss wood - including "moon wood" from the Eggberge - and is operated with geothermal probe heating.
With our food concept, as well as the consistent avoidance of food waste and by not using plastic where possible, we also contribute to sustainability and the reduction of our CO2 footprint.”
Rooms
There are three types of rooms at the Berglodge 37: 14 single rooms, 9 double rooms, and one suite. Please find full details (in German) here.
As you can see from the pictures, all rooms have beautiful views of the mountains. The beds are even deliberately higher than normal in order to accommodate having a proper view of the mountains from the bed.
Unless otherwise specified, you are booked in a single room.
Lounge
The lounge of the hotel is large and comfortable and has amazing views. Coffee, tea, and snacks are available here all day long. This is a place for us to meet and exchange experiences and ideas.
Food
Please note the restaurant serves only vegetarian food.
All meals will be provided during your stay including
Friday night dinner
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturday and Sunday
Breakfast on Monday
No lunch will be provided on Monday but can be arranged individually.
Saunas
There are two private saunas of different temperatures as well as an infrared sauna. Each of the two saunas can be reserved for particular groups or individuals. We will reserve some specific hours for our group and you can reserve individually as well.
It is traditional in Switzerland to enter saunas unclothed. It is always allowed to cover yourself with a towel.
Seminar Room
There are two seminar rooms available and we have reserved the smaller of the two. If no one has reserved the larger room, we may take that one instead.
surrounding area
Eggberge is a small village with no shops or ATMs, but it does have several public restaurants including the Berggasthaus Eggberge.
Walking and Hiking
There are many wonderful places to walk and hike in the area.
You can see some of the favorites here.
This website is excellent for finding hiking routes in Switzerland.
