This region breaths simplicity, coziness and ‘la douceur pour le Coeur’ (open hearted softness).\n​During 3 days we will take time to snow shoe in the hidden corners of this Valley, not rushing anywhere, taking our time to appreciate the landscape, cultural life, human and nature connection.\n​In the mornings and afternoons we will practice yoga and meditation to fully integrate our experience in the mountains.\nNot to forget that we will have a private Spa area with Sauna and jacuzzi. Private chef Donata will spoil us with a creative food that nourish the body and soul.\nYou will leave the retreat rejuvenated, nourished, rested and full of energy to end the year and set powerful intentions for the 2026.\n​,In the depth of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.,  Albert Camus\n​Activities during the end of the year retreat\n\n\n\n\nWinter hiking- snow shoeing \n\n\nYoga and meditation\n\n\nSound Bath- chanting bowls\n\n\nOutdoor fire place & Winter Shinrin Yoku Experience\n\n\nSPA with sauna\n\n\n​And most importantly- sharing the same experience with other humans, creating memories and having fun!\n​\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nNature Connection Practices\nForest Therapy is an art of connecting with nature with your senses.\nIt’s a research based framework for supporting healing and wellbeing through immersion in forests and other natural environments.\nMost of the time during retreat will be spent Outside\n\n\nWinter hiking & mindful walking\n\n\nOpen your eyes, activate your ears, slow down your feet and walk.

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).\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\nAbout Kotryna\n\n\n\n\nYoga & meditation teacher \n\n\n\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\n\n,When I hike through Pays den Haut region, I feel like I am falling in love again and again.,\n\n\nBE OUTSIDE COACHING\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeet Donata- a soulfull retreat chef\n\n\nDonata creates food with love & passion. She is a nature lover and gets her main inspiration to cook from the nature – using natural products.\nAesthetics of food is part of her style, she  spoils multiple senses of the one who tastes her food.\n​Lithuania is her home country and her initial inspiration to cook came from her mothers vegetable & fruit garden.\n​You will eat healthy & natural food prepared by Donata. Allow your body to energize with seasonal & local goodness. Find joy in eating the rainbow on your plate and feel yourself becoming more grounded and feeling comfortable in your own skin.\n​Participants of the previous retreats leave speechless after eating Donatas food.\n\n\n\nRetreat Chef Donata\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTestimonial From Previous Outings & Retreats\n\n\n,Ruta is an experienced hiker and mountain leader. She offers diverse workshops and retreats to connect with nature (and yourself) which are interesting, beautiful and inspire mindfulness. She cares about making her clients happy and is keen to learn and grow. I highly recommend her products and guidance. I will certainly join her again!,.  Pilar Gomez\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., Trinh Nguyen\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are looking forward to seeing you in the mountains\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeel free to contact me if you have any questions!\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n Your name\n \n\n Your email\n \n\n Event name\n \n\n Your message (optional)\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
