SUMMARY:Narcissus bloom Retreat May 29-June 1st, 2025 Montreux Riviera
DESCRIPTION:\nI Wondered Lonely as a Cloud\n\n‘I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o’er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.\nContinuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.\nThey flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.’\nWilliam Wordsworth\n\nMeadow where Nature Connection practices will be taking place\nWelcome to ‘Bloom’ Retreat.\nMay 29-June 1st 2025- Montreux Riviera, SWITZERLAND\nMay is the month of bloom in the Alpine Meadows.\nSwiss Alpine flowers in full bloom are one of the loveliest sights you can see in the Alps mountain range.\nThe best time to see the Alpine flowers of Switzerland is late spring to mid-summer, when bright blossoms will surround you in the meadows and high rocky ground of the mountains.\nThe Narcissus Bloom retreat welcomes you to the exceptional place of Montreux Riviera.\nWild narcissus bloom in May and transform the meadows above Montreux into immaculately white, perfumed landscapes. As soon as the snow melts, the leaves of the narcissi (narcissus radiiflorus) shoot out of the earth and unfold the energy stored in their bulbs to burst into bloom precociously.\nThis narcissi bloom is known since Belle Epoque as ‘May Snow’.\nPerfumed, white, flower abundant trails invite us to admire the most beautiful meadows and breathtaking landscapes.\nThis retreat is exceptionally focusing on Nature: the astonishing outside world as well as your inner naturalness and your authentic Bloom.\nWhile experiencing the abundant spring flower fields, the incredible mountain views, you will fully immerse into yourself. \n​Nature connection practices, such as hiking, forest therapy and natural mindfulness, are pathways allowing to return to a basis of health and happiness. While exploring the outside environment, you will rediscover and reconnect with our inner world.\n\n\nActivities during retreat​\n\n\n\n\nNature connection practices:  Forest/nature Therapy, connect with 5 senses, explore the 5 elements (Japanese Shinrin Yoku).

Since then, most of her time she spends outside- climbing, hiking, wild camping, walking in the forests, parks and other natural places. She has become hiking ‚guru‘ and is now passionate to share the most beautiful places in the Swiss Alps with the others. Retreat participants often say that Ruta’s passion for Nature is contagious.\nRuta is a professional mountain leader ( Association of Mountain Guides in Switzerland), neuro-coach (Neuroleadership Institute, London), and forest therapy guide (Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, USA). She has also recently become a certified Yin yoga instructor.\nBy creating Be Outside Coaching movement, she has connected her 2 major passions: activities outside and human development. Be Outside Coaching delivers immersive and holistic Nature experiences in the different corners of pristine the Swiss Alps.\nBe Outside. Be Authentic. Be You\n\nKatrina – meditation & yoga teacher\n\nKotryna, a certified yoga and meditation teacher, encourages and invites you to listen to yourself & follow your heart’s guidance, cultivate self love and be your own best version on the yoga mat and off the mat.  To explore your inner landscape Kotryna uses three yoga modalities: asana, breath (pranayama) and meditation. Kotryna loves teaching HATHA yoga with slow vinyasa style. She shows different variations and movements to make sure her classes are beginner friendly and also interesting for ‘seasoned’ practitioners.\nKotryna has a business background and came to yoga from the Swiss corporate world. Her analytic mindset threads nicely with yoga and meditation practices, therefore she loves sharing with her students WHY we do what we do on the mat and chooses science-based yoga approaches.\nKotryna lives in Villeneuve, a commune extending Swiss Montreux riviera, with her little family: \nlovely husband and two amazing kids. \nDiscover more about Kotryna: https://www.samauyoga.ch/pages/about\n\nTestimonial From Last Retreat\n\n\n‘Ruta is a fabulous guide and retreat host. She’s friendly and super caring. She knows very well what she is doing, wants to provide and what to do. I enjoy doing hiking without worrying about which direction to take, when to take my train, and all the planning. I trust that everyone will have soul-opening and mind-boggling experience with Ruta if you let her kindly take your hands and lead you into the woods or over the hills.’\n\n\nTrinh, finance specialist from Switzerland\nPrice and booking policy:\nRetreat dates: May 29th- June 1st, 2025.\nPrices- All Included: \nPrivate Room Double Bed Private Bathroom 1,490 CHF / 1550 EUR (only 1 available)\nPrivate Room Double Bed Shared Bathroom 1,390 CHF / 1440 EUR\nPrivate Room Single bed Shared Bathroom  1,290 CHF / 1340 EUR\nShared Room for 2 single bed Shared Bathroom 890 CHF / 930 EUR ( 1 final available)\nTo secure booking: 50% deposit.
