Alpine Reset Champery November 27-29th
Alpine Reset Retreat
3 days of yoga, mountain hikes, nourishing food & deep rest in the Swiss Alps
Meet you in Champery, Switzerland.
During 3 days we will take time to snow shoe/hike in the hidden corners of this Valley, not rushing anywhere, taking our time to appreciate the landscape, cultural life, human and nature connection.
In the mornings and afternoons we will practice yoga and meditation to fully integrate our experience in the mountains.
Not to forget that we will have a private Spa area with Sauna. Private chef Donata will spoil us with a creative food that nourish the body and soul.
You will leave the retreat rejuvenated, nourished, rested and full of energy to end the year and set powerful intentions for the 2027.

Nature Connection Practices
Forest Therapy is an art of connecting with nature with your senses.
It’s a research based framework for supporting healing and wellbeing through immersion in forests and other natural environments.
Winter hiking & mindful walking
Open your eyes, activate your ears, slow down your feet and walk. When you re-learn how to walk mindfully, you will never walk and see nature in the same way again. Be Outside Participants love this and share that this is life changing experience!
Yoga Practice
The Yoga practice is open to all levels. The morning class focuses on waking up the body, stimulating the harmonious flow of energy in the muscles, joints and organs. The evening class is aimed at offering a deep and relaxing state of mind.

Ruta, mountain leader, nature therapy guide & coach
Ruta did her first hike back in 2013- she then realized that the real life is not happening in the indoor- office environment but rather outside.
This made her realize that she was missing something important in her life- connection with Nature. 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.
Ruta 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).
By 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.
Be Outside. Be Authentic. Be You

Testimonial From Previous Outings & Retreats
,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
,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
We are looking forward to seeing you in the mountains
