Soaring in Switzerland
As we release, we soar back to who we are
We are happy to welcome The Liphe Balance Center for a special retreat at our hotel from June 21–25.
Accompanied by the rising light of the Moon and constellations, and held by the steady presence of the Säntis mountain, this retreat unfolds as a journey of release that leads to elevation. As we let go of what no longer serves us, we rise back into alignment with who we truly are.
Through spiritual constellations, astral charts, astrology, and body-based practices, we gently unravel inherited life scripts and unconscious patterns. The body becomes a place of listening, the sky a map of remembrance, and the mountain a quiet anchor as we expand toward what wants to emerge.
For more information and to register, please use the button below to visit The Liphe Balance Center website. The retreat will be held in English. Registration closes on March 15
