Mindfulness Retreat: Digital Detox in Nature

4 days just for you. Switch off and connect with nature in the small mountain village of Tschlin in the Lower Engadine. A retreat for all those who want to leave everyday life behind for a while.

Escape your stressful everyday life and treat yourself to a break in the breathtaking nature of the Lower Engadine. Our Digital Detox Retreat in Tschlin allows you to get back in touch with yourself and nature, far away from screens, emails and constant availability.

We celebrate the simple but essential things in life: peace, nature and mindfulness. You will realize that it is possible to get back into balance - far away from deadline pressure and constant availability.

Our retreat is aimed at people who want to take a conscious break from everyday life to recharge their batteries, create clarity and enjoy the health-promoting effects of nature. Our retreat helps you to consciously go offline, to interrupt the constant flow of information and to get back in touch with yourself. The combination of forest bathing and nature-based workshops with and in the mountain landscape gives you the tools to reduce stress and regain your inner peace. In the quiet surroundings of the Engadine mountain village of Tschlin you will experience how good the proximity to nature is for us.

After the retreat, you will:
Feel more energy and inner peace, which will help you to master everyday life more easily and consciously.
mindfulness exercises that you can integrate into your life after the retreat.
Develop a deeper connection to nature that serves as a sustainable source of strength for your well-being and mental health.
Make your own personal incense sticks and strengthen your relationship with nature.
Experience the landscape more consciously through your senses and cultivate your mindful relationship with the natural environment.

What you can expect:
Daily 2–3 hours Shinrin Yoku / Forest bathing: We dive deep into the forest, away from the frequented hiking trails, connect with nature and let the senses come to rest. Guided mindfulness exercises in the forest help you to slow down and find inner peace. In addition, you will receive instructions to take home on how to practice simple mindfulness exercises at home in the forest.

Daily Qi Gong sequences: to relax body and mind, increase your life energy and bring attention into balance.

Nature workshops: Various workshops invite you to sharpen your perception and concentrate on the essentials. We will discover the landscape smelling and learn to make our own incense sticks.

Pure nature in the mountain village of Tschlin: Tschlin, a picturesque Engadine mountain village, offers you the perfect backdrop for your personal time-out. Surrounded by mountains and forests, you will experience pure nature and absolute silence.

Cozy accommodation: You will stay in a lovingly designed apartment in a typical Engadine house in the middle of the village. Here you will find a simple but cosy single room, a shared bathroom, a kitchen and a typical Engadine parlour.

Cooking and enjoying together: In our kitchen we cook together with fresh, regional products on some evenings, on other days we let ourselves be cooked. The vegetarian meals with local ingredients are another moment of mindfulness to enjoy consciously.

The Mindfulness Retreat "Digital Detox" with forest bathing is ideal for all those who:
long for a break from the hectic everyday life and want to leave the constant digital accessibility behind,
