Autumn Harvest
5 days / 4 nights 9-13 Oct 24
This retreat is for those in momentous transition
At this time of year, nature reflects to us a bit of everything – abundant resources, colourful celebration, loss, decay and transformation, daylight retreating, temperatures dropping. It is surely the time when we get to feel it all – gratitude, nostalgia, quiet contemplation and joyful steps into the unknown.
Autumn in the Alps does not disappoint. The cows descend the mountains, ringing in this time to ready ourselves for winter; the food gets richer and comforts us deeply after a day out in fresh air; and the colours are breathtaking
Before you arrive
We start the experience with self-reflection exercises and a 2-hour pre-retreat coaching session with Caitlin where you’ll delve into the values and experiences that make you feel fully alive. You’ll set clear, personal intentions for your Autumn retreat and prepare to bring your full self to the experience.

An inspired and supported way forwards
All too often, the holiday-glow fades moments after we return to life as usual. Our Back to Nature retreats don’t end when you pack your bags and leave the chalet.
With integration homework, useful tools to deepen your outdoor reflection practice, an in-depth post-retreat coaching session and discounted ongoing offers, we continue to support you as you take your path forwards.

On the return, we will be organising a transfer that leaves at 12pm so your flight should depart at 4pm at the earliest
