Nature-Retreat 2024

4 days of solitude in a remote, wild alpine environment.

After a sudatory ascent I reached my carefully researched spot where I pitched my tent for the next three nights and switched off my mobile phone for the next three days. Shortly after my arrival it started to rain. As if the weather wanted me to take breaks and go outside when I needed them, like for dinner, breakfast and lunch… the rain stopped at exactly the time I needed it. The rest of the second day I slept, journaled, meditated, relaxed, drew… it was so restful and exactly what I was looking for. Day three started with some rain, but the sun came out pretty quickly and I was able to spend some time exploring the area, relaxing in the sun and going swimming in the lake. The fourth and final day was all about packing up after breakfast and descending. I arrived back in civilisation around lunchtime and continued my journey home by bus and train.

Staying in such a tiny tent in the rain requires good organisation, but once I settled in it was very cosy and I was able to recharge my batteries. I came back with a lot of new impulses, clarity on several business aspects and motivation to take action.
