“The days were dedicated to meditation, self-discovery, and recreation in the forest. All of the meditations were excellent, and one, in particular, was the best I’ve ever encountered, and I’ve been meditating on and off for decades. The whole experience was immensely restorative, and I rediscovered my inner peace. The people were wonderful, especially the leader, David. And it’s hard to top the pristine mountain air and the spectacular mountains.”

“What I loved was that the retreat was so quiet, and peaceful. I came all the way from Texas. David has this warm, beautiful, and calm energy that drew me into a reflective space. Breathtaking surroundings. I felt one with nature, which is my turbocharge! There was a schedule, but many opportunities to reflect/meditate with or without the group.
This was my first time in Switzerland. Lovely experience. First retreat with David Perry. He leads a calm, gentle, truly refreshing retreat for the soul.

THE HOTEL
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.”
