Tourist tax: For all on-site courses in 2026, the tourist tax will be calculated separately from the course price. Since this tax is fixed and collected by the local authorities, this solution allows us to respond to updates at any time.
CHF-EUR exchange rate: After applying a very generous 1 : 1 exchange rate for the past three years, the current situation requires us to at least partially balance the ongoing exchange rate decline.
Therefore, a new exchange rate of 1 : 1.05 will apply to all courses in 2026. It is already included in the stated course prices and the separately billed tourist tax.
An Important Note on Cancellations
We ask that you only book a course with the binding intention of attending the course.
Please be aware that a cancellation will incur a cancellation fee.

5 Day Insight Dialogue Retreat
From Insight to Wisdom and Love
Mindfulness helps us see how our habits are related to suffering. As awareness deepens, familiar patterns become visible. Repeated moments of insight invite a different relationship with stress — one grounded in curiosity rather than reactivity.
In this retreat, we will explore how wisdom emerges through kind, compassionate awareness. As stress is met with gentle presence, the heart softens, tension dissolves, and insight ripens into wisdom and love.
The relational process of Insight Dialogue supports this unbinding by bringing attention to what is known and to the knowing itself. Thoughts, emotions, and sensations arise and pass within a shared field of practice, revealing the peace and clarity of awakened presence. Letting go becomes natural. Listening deeply together for what is universally true becomes a joy and a refuge.
Throughout the retreat, silent meditation, Insight Dialogue in dyads and small groups, and time in nature will support insight ripening into embodied wisdom.
Retreat requirement: Established meditation practice and silent retreat experience (at least five days). >> Please describe the required experience in the comments field of the application.
