Discover the Power of Connection in the Swiss Alps: A Love Frequency Meditation and Qigong Retreat in Sils Maria, Switzerland
Imagine spending days immersed in the heart of the Swiss Alps, where the natural beauty and serene energy of Sils Maria offer a transformative space for deep connection and growth.
Here, the landscape itself becomes a healing force, inviting you to release tension, ground yourself in the present moment, and open to new levels of peace, love, and awareness.
Ground and Elevate
We begin by rooting ourselves in the powerful, grounding energy of Sils Maria—a landscape celebrated for its calm and revitalizing atmosphere.
There’s something extraordinary about this place; the stillness of its mountains and the shimmering beauty of Lake Sils create an almost tangible sense of tranquility.
It’s a place to breathe deeply, let go of life’s noise, and ground yourself in nature’s wisdom.
Once we’re fully grounded, we’ll engage in practices designed to elevate your energy and open your heart, guiding you to resonate with a higher vibration of love, compassion, and inner joy.
The Perfect Environment for Soul Alignment
From the panoramic views of the surrounding mountains to the peaceful pathways leading to secluded meditation spots, every aspect of the environment supports your journey inward.
Daily Practices for Transformation
Our retreat days are thoughtfully structured to create a balanced, fulfilling experience. Each morning we will set out on a hike to a spot in nature for Qigong.
The Qigong classes will awaken and energize the body and the meditation sessions will help you align with your soul and cultivate an open, receptive heart. Throughout the day, we’ll incorporate a variety of energy-based practices, including breath work, journaling, and energy healing, each designed to help you align with your soul’s purpose and attune to a frequency of love.
By blending Qigong and breath work, we move beyond traditional postures to explore the art of sensing, directing, and amplifying your own energy in empowered, transformational ways.
A Journey Beyond the Ordinary
In Sils Maria, you’ll feel yourself gently pulled into harmony with nature’s rhythms. Afternoons are spent in peaceful contemplation, with hikes through lush meadows and along the shores of Lake Sils, nourishing your spirit with moments of silence and deep connection to the natural world.
The food is carefully chosen to support your energy, with delicious, wholesome meals that nourish both body and soul.
With time set aside to laugh, share stories, and relax, you’ll forge connections that elevate your experience and build a lasting community of like-minded souls.
An Invitation to Connect Deeply
This retreat is an invitation to experience a profound, supportive journey into your own heart. As you align more deeply with your soul, you’ll gain new clarity and insight that enriches your life, allowing you to return home with practices that support continued growth.
You’ll learn to connect with yourself in a more loving, compassionate way, and carry forward this newfound connection with others, forging bonds and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Early bird pricing is available, so reserve your space today to ensure your place in this life-enhancing experience. Join us, and let Sils Maria and the Swiss Alps support you in a journey of love, clarity, and soul alignment.
Retreat FAQs
Can you help me with arranging transport to the hotel?
You are responsible for arranging your own transfer to Waldhaus Hotel in Sils Maria, Switzerland. Check-in is at 15:00.
How do I travel to Sils Maria?
Fly to Zurich and Take the Train
1. Flights: The nearest international airports to Sils Maria is Zurich Airport. The train station is located in the airport so you can directly take a train after your flight to St. Moritz and further to Sils Maria.
When is the hotel check-in and check-out?
Rooms will generally be available for check in at 3:00 PM. Check out is at 11:00 AM. If you arrive early to the hotel you can of course deposit your bags at the reception.
What is your refund and cancellation policy?
In order to secure the venue and programming, we are required to enter into binding contracts with 3rd parties that do not allow for refund or cancellation in any instance except for limited instances where “acts of god” render the entire event impossible. For example, if due to the COVID-19 pandemic worsening and the Hotel & Retreat center must close down, then we would be able to get a refund and refund all ticket holders. Otherwise, unfortunately, we must enforce a strict cancellation policy and there will be no refunds in any instance. Also, purchasing trip insurance to protect yourself is always a good idea.
You may transfer your ticket under certain conditions to a friend or family member. You may transfer your ticket to another person up to 4-days before the retreat start date without penalty by emailing Heather at heather.n.lenz@gmail.com After that time, our strict cancellation policy applies.
Should I purchase travel insurance?
Even if we need to cancel or reschedule the retreat due to “extreme situations” including Covid-19 related shut downs, we will only be able to refund ticket costs at most, and would not in any instance be able to compensate you for other costs, such as flights booked, etc. Due to this concern, we highly recommend that you purchase personal travel insurance.
We suggest that you include “cancel for any reason” with your policy and include medical coverage. Many insurance policies must be purchased within 14 days of making your reservation so please prioritize accordingly. Some credit cards also come with travel insurance benefits which you might want to consider.
Will I be able to keep up a daily qigong and meditation practice after the retreat?
I will be sending you home with some printed resources so you can continue in your own personal yoga and qi practice. I also have plenty of free videos on Qigong and Yoga With Heather on Youtube and some paid online video programs as well.
I find that a deep dive into qigong beings to ground in how nourishing it is to integrate qigong and meditaiton into your life. I am confident that when you go home you will be able to maintain a practice that works for you.
Can my partner or friend come with me if they don't want to do the qigong?
Yes. Everyone should feel free to take part in the activities and classes that feel right for them. However, there are no discounts related to non-participation in certain aspects of the retreat schedule.
What about COVID?
As of now, taking into account the current state of affairs, we don’t intend to require proof of vaccination or pre-arrival testing. However, if you get sick and test positive before or during the retreat, you will not be allowed to attend and there are no refunds. We encourage you to purchase a comprehensive “cancel for any reason” trip insurance policy to protect yourself if this is a concern. Social distancing and mask wearing may be implemented if situations change.
Lastly, please note any interaction with the general public poses an elevated risk of being exposed to COVID-19 and we cannot guarantee that you will not be exposed while in attendance at the event.
How difficult/advanced are the Qigong classes?
Heather has created the retreat to be accessible and an enriching experience for newer to experienced students and at various fitness levels. Heather will offer adjustments and different options in all the classes.
Is Qigong Indoors or Outdoors?
The qigong classes are outdoors, so bring weather protective and warm clothing.
