Summary

A 7-day retreat at the Kräuteralp Oberhorn in the mountains! You’ll be part of the community and help out with daily tasks. In the alpine wilderness, you’ll gather herbs and wild blueberries. If it rains, we’ll head to the herb workshop. You’ll learn to make “your” mother tincture using “your” power plant. Together, we’ll cook super-healthy healing soups and delicious meals in the “Organic Green Power Kitchen” using select herbs. You’ll make your first oxymel, infused with roots and flowers in honey and vinegar. The daily schedule provides structure. In the morning, before practice (yoga, breathing, qigong), we’ll have the bitter drink. We remain in silence until brunch. You have time for yourself—for retreat, for inner work, or simply to be. Group hikes to mountain lakes and waterfalls bring variety to daily life. If a mountain “calls” to you, then climb it. If your book is waiting for you, then take the time for it. We sit by the fire, and once a week there’s a gong bath with Alexandra.
When it’s hay-making season, we pitch in at the mountain flower meadow. You’re part of it, with sweat and joy.
We take the hay down to the mountain village by cable car—what an adventure.

The Kräuteralp Oberhorn is a place of power; you will find answers and clarity for your concerns.
You will be able to reconnect with something deep within yourself.
