FASTING, YOGA, AND YOUR JOURNEY TO YOUR TRUE SELF—in the Mountains

Die Edelweisshütte – deine Oase
Es gibt Orte, an denen die Welt für einen Moment stillzustehen scheint. Die Edelweisshütte, unser Seminarhaus, ist genau so ein Ort: ein Wohlfühlhaus mit Sauna und Massageraum, eingebettet in einer Waldlichtung in den Bergen. Das Haus ist liebevoll und hochwertig eingerichtet, mit bequemen Betten, einladender Gemütlichkeit, schönem Cheminée, hell und mit modernen Naturmaterialien gebaut. Der sonnendurchflutete Gruppenraum, die Sauna mit Sicht in den Wald, der grosse Garten mit Bocciabahn, Spielen und Feuerschale und die einmalig abgelegene Lage machen die Edelweisshütte zu einer einzigartigen Naturoase für Stille, Erholung und Ruhe.

Jedes Zimmer ist individuell mit liebevollen Details eingerichtet. Uns stehen Einzelzimmer und Zweibettzimmer zur Verfügung. Es hat genug Bäder und Toiletten, so dass sich in der Regel zwei Zimmer ein Bad teilen können.

Anreise
Es hat genügend, kostenlose Parkplätze beim Haus.
Der nächste Bahnhof ist in Chur. Ab Chur fährt die Seilbahn nach Bambrüesch. Wir bieten einen kostenlosen Shuttle ab der Bergstation Bambrüesch am Ankunfts- und Abreisetag an.

Meals as per the program: 1 detox day, 1 recovery day. 3 days of Buchinger therapeutic fasting with daily fresh fasting herbal teas (pharmacy quality), fresh fasting broths, and freshly squeezed fasting juices—all organic and enriched with wild herbs.
We gather the nutrient-rich wild herbs locally in the forest and in our organic natural garden. Anyone interested is cordially invited to join us on a wild herb-gathering walk.

Program Overview

September 1, 2026 | 1 week before the start: Preparation
After the full moon, we’ll send you valuable tips and inspiring suggestions to help you prepare for your detox retreat. We’ll provide you with plenty of useful information during your fast, as well as ideas for regaining your peace of mind. You’ll also receive a lovingly curated starter kit to help you get started.

September 7, 2026 | Days 1 & 2: Cleansing Days
Arrival between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m., check-in, and settling in. A light meal to ease into the process and a chance to get to know each other.
The light, healthy organic meals featuring wild herbs help your body prepare optimally for the fasting and detoxification days. We support this process by encouraging plenty of hydration and offering effective herbal tea blends. Our daily, gentle yoga exercises help you maintain muscle strength and support the detoxification process.
During group sessions, please leave any electronic devices in your room. We invite you to completely refrain from using electronic devices during this time so that you can fully immerse yourself in your inner journey. With Eckhart Tolle’s *The Gates of Presence*, we have powerful spiritual exercises at our disposal that help us *re*member our true essence. On the evening of the second day, we’ll begin our three-day fast.

September 9, 2026 | Days 3–5: Fasting—On the Path to Yourself
Together, we’ll fast for three full days, beginning on the evening of the second day. On the fifth day, we’ll break the fast together with a nutrient-rich root and wild herb soup. We’ll gather the wild herbs together on the afternoon of the fifth day.
We’ll support you during these days both mentally and with helpful physical exercises. Through daily yoga sessions, we’ll continue to ensure that our muscle strength is maintained and that we feel comfortable with our new physical sensations. During this time, we’ll continue to drink plenty of fluids. During the Buchinger therapeutic fast, you’ll receive broths (enriched with wild herbs), freshly squeezed juices (enriched with wild herbs), supportive herbal teas, and plenty of water.
We are surrounded by mountains and nature. Easy hikes and forest bathing in the colorful early fall will help you find mental peace as well. There is plenty of space and tranquility to share your experiences with your fellow travelers. We have access to a beautiful, light-filled group room, a large garden with a lovely terrace and cozy seating areas, as well as lounges with comfortable armchairs, a sofa, and a fireplace. A sauna with a view of the forest, a massage room, and plenty of woodland all contribute to your well-being.
Meditations and exercises to connect with yourself will support your inner journey. Perhaps during this time you’ll encounter your true SELF and rediscover your inner strength. Perhaps you’ll simply be glad that your mind is finally finding peace. Anything is allowed during these quiet, powerful days—nothing is required. We don’t want to force anything. We invite you to take time for yourself and to jot down in a notebook what’s going on inside you during this time.

September 12, 2026 | Day 6: Farewell
After breaking our fast the previous evening, we’ll enjoy a nutrient-rich breakfast on our final day. We invite you to reflect on your current eating habits and, if you choose, to explore new approaches. You’ll be supported in this by the power of the moon. With the waxing moon cycle now beginning, it will be easier for us to solidify our new habits.
After a final group session, we’ll say our goodbyes around 10 a.m.

September 13, 2026 | 1 week after the retreat: Solidifying new habits
With our tips on healthy eating and inspiring recipes, we’ll continue to support you on your journey for another week. If you’d like, you can stay in touch with the other participants and share ideas via a group chat.

Minor changes to the program are possible.
