Sornetan, Jura Region, Switzerland

New Year’s Retreat
with Breathwork, Yoga, and Nature

Mach es besonders.

  • „I feel calm relaxed and centered after spending 5 days with Carmen and Christian and a wonderful group of people. It was everything I could have hoped for and more: great people, amazing food, fun and deep activities and deep insights into myself. I realized how much more of these concious practices I want to integrate into my life. Thank you for that ❤️"

  • „Carmen and Christian offer a welcoming space for getting more deeply in touch with oneself through a diverse program including Yoga, breath work, meditation, spending time in nature, ritual work, sharing circles, and other practices.They invite a warm and familiar atmosphere, opening spaces for personal sharings in the group setting. I could very much relax into their respectful leadership, as they were present both professionally as space holders and personally with their heart. I appreciated the clarity with which they guided simple yet powerful practices, as well as the outspoken openness to see what fits for oneself in each moment. Thank you for doing this beautiful work."

  • „I loved the team, the flow, the pace, the structure, the variety. The mix of methods and practices, including the 2-3 hours of yoga and breathwork, was well balanced. I feel like I really got value for the price, a nice full program, which I like. And the vegan food was simply fab. It's so helpful to have a facilitator 'pair' so we could hear both feminine and masculine voices and they were wise and always professional in holding the space for the group. Definitely recommend and will be back again!

  • "Experince a beautiful journey into nature, energy and self... Carmen and Kristian offered a surprising, unravelling and beautiful journey into discovering my inner energy, my body and my connection with nature. I experienced a powerful group energy through sharing yoga, meditation, chanting and delicious food with wonderful people in a magic setting. "

  • "I really liked how Christian and Carmen led this 5 day retreat over Easter with clarity, deep empathy and great passion. My intentions for this journey were for clarity for my future, healing of some traumas and to come back more into my power. The active meditations, the Kaula Tantra Yoga, the nature connection practices and especially the deep breath work sessions helped me a lot in my process. I was able to gain a lot of confidence and clarity about my next steps into the future, by always stopping and accepting what is. The breath work sessions allowed deep healing, I was able to process a lot of anger and grief. It was very nice to grow together with everyone into a beautiful community through dancing, singing, cocoa ceremony and also the sharing circles. Beat had spoiled us during this journey, culinary at its best, with everything that the plant exclusive cuisine had to offer. I am very grateful to have participated in this retreat. I can heartily recommend this journey to oneself to everyone. Thank you again for the transformative time. "

  • I really liked the almost meditative nature of Kaula Tantra Yoga in the Morning. By alternating Yoga exercises and Vipassana, I got into a flow that made me forget time. Afterwards I felt physically well trained and yet mentally very refreshed, like after a power nap. What I particularly liked about the course was the variety of different forms: Yoga together with Nature Contact, Cocoa Ceremony, different types of Meditation and Music. This allowed me to gain insights into new variations and find out which ones inspire me. It was fascinating to experience how the group of initially seemingly very different people grew so close together over the days and how the experience of the retreat spontaneously became the starting point for important decisions and changes of direction in life for some. This is certainly something that cannot be planned, but apparently the retreat prepared the ground for it. Thank you for the beautiful and magical time!

  • Das Yoga Retrait mit dem speziellen „etwas“ -weit ab von anderen „normalen“ Retraits. alles darf sein und nichts muss. lass dich ein auf eine neue Welt mit begeisterten, herzlichen und sehr fachkundigen Yogalehrern. in diesem retrait ist inneres Wachstum möglich. eine grossartige Zeit - welche in Körper, Geist und Seele lange nachklingt. Thanks a lot.

  • I loved the dancing, yoga, meditations, breathwork, singing and the afternoon where we dived into our feelings. Wonderful devirsity!

    Irene

  • That time with you was wonderful, it was like a bubble outside of the hustle and bustle of daily life, living without being obsessed by being productive and getting things done. Although I was a novice in yoga, I did not feel that was an issue, and overall I felt that there was an inclusive mindset in the group. A lot of activities every day, but I liked that.
