About Montreux Riviera- flower immerssion place
Welcome to the Swiss postcard in style! From the lake & flower promenade to the mountains and vineyards, Montreux Riviera offers a breath-taking landscape that is worth a postcard.
It’s an authentic little piece of paradise that has attracted many artists, writers and travellers in search of beauty, tranquillity and… inspiration.
June is the month of bloom in the Alpine Meadows above Montreux.
Not many now that the biggest treasure is found above the town- in the forest, waterfalls, tropical – like plants and alpine meadows.
Wild flowers in June transform the meadows above Montreux into immaculately colourfull and perfumed landscapes.

The importance of connection to nature
While simply being in a natural environment is beneficial to human health, it is a deeper contact and engagement-connection- with nature that has been shown to promote long-term improvements in mental health and emotional wellbeing.
Latest research shows that simply going outside is not enough to improve health on its own. Its what you do with time outdoors that matters.
Nature engagement is how we access the goodness of nature for mental wellbeing- we need to develop a meaningful, more emotional relationship. Time and true moments of connection matter.

Feedback from previous retreats
I had the most wonderful and amazing time on the FORest retreat this February. The description of the retreat sounded right up my alley, but the actual experience far exceeded what I expected.
From the warm welcome prior to the retreat, the supportive and loving nature of those organising the course as well the other participants. Right to the content of the retreat which was well balanced and inclusive.
The worst part was having to leave, but I have every intention to return one day ❤️
