5-Day Yoga, Reiki, and Transformation Retreat on Lake Lugano / Ticino

“Rediscover inner peace, renewed energy, and personal clarity in five days.”

Sometimes all it takes is a few days away from everyday life to reconnect with yourself. This five-day retreat invites you to consciously devote time to your body, mind, and soul. Experience a harmonious blend of Hatha Yoga, meditation, Reiki energy healing, and transformational coaching, and discover new paths to greater serenity, health, and vitality.

In a small, intimate group, you’ll find space to relax, let go, and recharge. At the same time, you’ll gain valuable insights that can guide you in your daily life even after the retreat.

A special place of power in Ticino
Our retreat takes place at the Hotel Serpiano Panorama Retreat on Monte San Giorgio—one of the most beautiful vantage points in Ticino and part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Surrounded by a stunning mountain landscape and offering a magnificent view of Lake Lugano, this location provides the ideal setting for relaxation, mindfulness, and personal growth.

Look forward to:

Here’s what awaits you
Each day begins with a mindful yoga practice, complemented by pranayama and a soothing deep relaxation session. After breakfast together, there’s time for rest, wellness, or walks in nature.

A special part of the retreat is your personalized one-on-one sessions. You’ll receive both an individual Reiki energy healing session with Samira and a transformational coaching session with Peter. These one-on-one sessions offer you the opportunity to deeply explore your personal issues and gain new inspiration for your future path.

The program is rounded out by inspiring workshops, group meditations, and plenty of free time to enjoy the special atmosphere of Monte San Giorgio at your own pace.

This retreat gives you the opportunity to recharge your energy, find inner peace, and consciously focus on what truly matters to you in life.

Your Personal Guidance

Transformational Coaching with Peter
Sometimes in life we reach a point where we feel that something needs to change. Perhaps the same challenges keep cropping up, old patterns are holding you back, or you’re seeking more clarity about the path ahead.

In one-on-one transformation coaching, Peter takes the time to address your individual concerns. Together, you’ll explore the root causes of your current issues and develop new perspectives as well as concrete solutions for your daily life.

The coaching can help you
• gain more clarity about your personal situation,
• identify limiting beliefs and old behavioral patterns,
• permanently resolve inner blockages,
• develop emotional lightness and inner peace,
• walk your own path with new direction and greater confidence.

Each session is individually tailored to your personal needs and offers you a safe space for growth and change.

Reiki Energy Healing with Samira
Reiki is a method of energy work originating in Japan, in which universal life energy is specifically channeled. The goal is to harmonize the flow of energy in the body and activate its natural self-healing powers.

During your personal Reiki session, you can let go completely and simply relax. Many people experience this time as a soothing break from everyday life and report feeling inner peace, renewed strength, and a pleasant sense of lightness afterward.

Reiki can help you
• promote physical and mental relaxation,
• release stress and tension,
• restore balance to the body’s energy flow,
• release emotional and energetic blockages,
• activate your self-healing powers and enhance your overall well-being.

Reiki Heart Attunement & Self-Treatment
A special highlight of this retreat is the Reiki Heart Attunement.
During the workshops, you’ll learn the basics of Reiki self-treatment step by step. You’ll discover how to use Reiki on your own to regularly replenish your energy in daily life, harmonize your energy system, and strengthen your inner balance.

These easy-to-learn techniques will help you recognize energetic blockages early on, prevent them, and consciously continue your personal development even after the retreat.
This way, you’ll not only take home valuable experiences but also a tool that can accompany you on your journey for years to come.
