Reawaken your mountain spirit
PEACE IN THE WILD
ALPINE EDITION
Mountain Wellness Retreat:
A mental health week in the Alps
About the Retreat
Join the Center for Nature Informed Therapy on a hiking retreat in the magnificent German/Austrian Alps in the glow of autumn. Stay in a traditional rustic mountain hut, savor Austrian cuisine while taking in the divine regional landscapes. We set out from the quaint town of Grafrath, Bavaria and navigate our way up to higher elevation near the German/Austrian border, before ending our journey back in Bavaria. We will visit a breathtaking mountain lake framed by snow-capped peaks. The mountains will help us unplug while leaning closer to nature’s beauty. Besides daily hiking excursions, we will learn ways to improve our well-being while practicing Tai Chi/Yoga and meditation. Let us roam wild and free with nothing weighing us down beyond a light backpack with necessities. Our spirits will be high, and our hearts open. Join us for a life changing experience.

TESTIMONIALS
“The capacity to push my body to work out all the pent up emotions and have a physical release was something I have never experienced in this way. All of the negative emotions were able to be left on the mountain- I was transformed into a peaceful connection with the earth and nature became my greatest teacher. This allowed for a deep sense of equilibrium and inner serenity."
