6-Day: Finding Your Purpose

"Finding our purpose comes with certain expectations. We are either seeking confirmation of what we already know or trying to shed light on the obvious path that eludes us. Naturally, we are limited by our narrow perceptions of what’s possible. Instead, imagine the world as an interconnected, living web of energy. What’s in your highest good is a sparkling jewel that lights up for you within this web of possibilities. You simply need to know how you want to feel and choose it consciously."

When and Where:

• Date: July 14 - 19, 2025

• Venue: Kurhaus Retreat Center 

• Address: 7063 Tschiertschen-Praden, Switzerland

Join us for a transformative 6-day retreat in the stunning Swiss Alps where you will expand your awareness, connect with your intuition, and uncover what’s calling you through transformative practices. Daily yoga, meditation, breathwork, hiking, sauna, hot tub, and cold baths are included.

Why You Should Attend:

• Escape into a beautiful, natural environment.

• Daily yoga, breathwork and meditation to refresh the body and mind.

• Learn to reconnect to the intelligence of your body and intuition.

• Leave with mindful practices you can incorporate into your daily life for ongoing growth.

What You Will Do:

This structured transformational retreat is designed to guide you through deep personal growth while immersing you in the natural beauty of the Swiss Alps. Each day begins with morning yoga, breathwork, or meditation. You’ll engage in daily breakfast discussions, where we explore key themes related to finding purpose and gain insights from expert-led talks.

Throughout the retreat, you’ll be part of a small group Pod, a supportive team that fosters connection, reflection, and accountability. You'll have free time throughout the day to relax, take in the stunning surroundings, or explore nearby hiking trails and the charming Swiss village. In the afternoons, you'll take part in guided activities that put your learnings into practice, including interactive exercises, self-reflection sessions, and group experiences designed to help you integrate new perspectives into your life. Evenings also offer time to unwind with sauna, hot tub, and cold bath therapy.

What You Will Learn:

As part of the retreat programming, you'll engage in talks—guided learning experiences that explore the intricacies of the mind-body connection through expert insights and practical teachings. These are complemented by interactive sessions, where you'll actively apply what you've learned through group exercises and hands-on activities designed to deepen your personal transformation. In our training, we explore the following:

• Clarity on Intentions and Values: Gain insight into your intentions and values through practices that calm the mind, open the heart, and strengthen intuition.

• The Feeling-State: Learn our unique technique to identify and connect with the feelings associated with your desired experiences.

• Hands-on Exercises: Engage in interactive activities, including practical exercises and group sessions.

About the Talks and Sessions:

Over the 6 days, you'll experience transformative Expere talks and sessions, each thoughtfully designed to build upon the insights and foundations of the previous one. These immersive learning experiences will deepen your understanding of mind and body conditioning, while the complementary sessions offer engaging group practices and activities to help you embody new skills, fostering greater awareness, resilience, and empowerment throughout your personal transformation journey.

Talks and Sessions (in order):

1. Our Intentions: We will explore fundamental principles of transforming our mind, body, and reality through intentions. Participants will engage in group exercises to discuss and visualize their intentions.

2. Our Energy: We will look at how our internal energy influences our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Participants will engage in activities that align and balance energy in order to clarify purpose.

3. Our Field: Let's explore how our external environment—people, places, and circumstances—interacts with our internal state, and vice versa. Participants will learn how to consciously create alignment between their inner intentions and the world around them.

4. Our Integration: We’ve clarified our intentions, connected with our energy, and perhaps gained powerful insights into our purpose; now it’s time to integrate these practices into our daily lives and align with our new reality. True personal transformation begins during the integration process.

Retreat Venue:

The Kurhaus Retreat Center, located in the serene municipality of Praden, offers an authentic Alpine sanctuary where tradition meets transformation. With over 120 years of history, this remarkable retreat has long been a place of healing. Decades ago, doctors would send patients here, especially those battling terminal illnesses and cancer, to find solace and renewal in the pristine mountain air and serene surroundings.

Known for its stunning mountain views, Praden remains deeply rooted in traditional Swiss culture, thanks to strict local development restrictions that protect its heritage and close-knit community atmosphere.

​The Kurhaus itself is a 4-story chalet that features a spacious yoga shala, dining hall, quiet community lounge, and shared bedrooms on the upper floors. Guests can unwind in the outdoor hot tub, saunas, and cold baths, and enjoy easy access to numerous hiking trails within walking distance or a short bus ride away.

Accommodations:

• We welcome you to Kurhaus on Monday, any time after 11:00. We kindly ask that you do your best to arrive on Monday before 15.00, as we will be starting our orientation that afternoon. If you are arriving late in the night, please let us know so we can prepare for your welcome. 

• Bedrooms consist of single beds and bunk beds arranged in private, shared, or dormitory-style setups (prices vary by room type). If you are attending with one or more people you'd like to share a room with, please let us know when you complete the registration, and we will do our best to accommodate you.

• The bathrooms and showers are shared and co-ed.

• Given the amount of activity throughout the day, and the likelihood of some retreat participants going to bed early, we ask that we keep the noise level low after 21:30.

Food:

• The registration price includes all program costs, as well as the costs for meals and accommodations for the entire duration of the retreat.

• All meals are home-cooked, vegetarian, locally sourced, and delicious! :)

• There will also be snacks, tea and coffee offered throughout the day, and we will have both dairy and plant-based options. 

• This retreat is centered around connecting with the mind and body to become more sensitive to the exchange of information between the two. To ensure an undistracted and harmonious group dynamic, we kindly request that you refrain from consuming any psychoactive or mind-altering substances, including alcohol, during the retreat.

"One of the big experiences I had was in one of these breathing practices we did, and this was the most powerful thing I’ve ever felt in my entire life. This is when I felt like I was coming home to myself, and all of a sudden I broke into tears. Something inside of me said ‘Where have you been all of these years’.”

"I've been really blown away by the realizations that I've had, and the experience that I've had, doing exercises that tied together in such an effective way to help me have a really incredible experience. It's brought clarity to my life, it's given me a sense of purpose and it has sharpened up the vision I have for my future, and the direction I am going to move my life in - starting immediately."

"Really this place is a safe space. You can open up, the people are nice, the food is nice and the program is well curated. Within meditation and breathwork, this was really a first time for me, and I felt safe and guided in a very nice way. I dived deep into myself, which was very interesting because I always knew there was something hiding that I didn't have access to, which now I am much more clearer on that."
