Balance Retreat Breath, Movement & Nature

Reconnect with yourself. Sometimes it takes intentional time and distance from everyday life to remember what truly matters.

This weekend retreat offers a safe and supportive space for rest, regeneration and renewed clarity — far away from performance pressure and sensory overload.Out of the noise. Into focus and presence.

No constant availability. No tight schedules.Instead, time to breathe, arrive and recharge.

Your day. Your rhythm. The weekend follows a clear yet flexible structure.Set time frames provide orientation, while leaving plenty of space for individual needs. You decide which sessions you wish to join.

Sessions with impact. All sessions are held with great care. Mahara responds sensitively to the needs of the group, creating space for individual experiences and genuine connection.The practices support relaxation, body awareness and mental balance — without overwhelm or expectation.

A conscious pause. Not as an escape, but as a return: to greater calm, clarity and inner stability.

The Balance Retreat is a conscious withdrawal featuring: • Digital Detox • Presence and mindfulness • Surrounded by nature • A warm, calm atmosphere • Nourishing, indulgent cuisine

THE VENUE

EQUILIBRA – A sanctuary for inner alchemy and awakening, located in Filzbach, in the Swiss Alps, surrounded by majestic mountains. The view of the beautiful Lake Walensee and its waterfalls, along with many wonderful hiking trails right outside the door, invites you to relax. In the 1920s, the building was a silk factory, later a mini-golf course, before it was converted into three apartments. Today, it has been lovingly renovated, preserving the charm of the building.

ACCOMMODATION

The accommodations at Equilibra are on-site and offer enough privacy and space for your comfort. 

We have a showerplan and share all bathrooms. There are 4 showers which is enough for the small group size that we accomodate.

If you would like a private bathroom, we recommend booking a nearby hotel - click here. 

In our cozy 64m² dormitory, there are no bunk beds, and everyone has their own privacy through dividers or curtains.
