Seealpsee

Content
Step away from the demands of daily life - whether it's exam revisions, research deadlines or a packed schedule - and immerse yourself in a day of mindfulness, movement and connection in the stunning Alpstein mountains.

This day offers a unique opportunity to recharge in nature, combining hiking with meditation and mindfulness practices designed to help you cultivate presence, gain clarity and restore balance.

Join Anne, yoga and meditation teacher, for a slow and mindful hike to the serene Seealpsee lake, where we will engage in guided mindfulness exercises, meditation, and breathwork. You will have the chance to enjoy a picnic by the lake, and for those feeling adventurous, an invigorating swim in the fresh mountain waters!

This is an accessible hike, open to all levels of fitness. The route isn't technical, and we will take our time, allowing space to connect - to yourself, to nature and to others.

What to expect:

• Guided mindful hike: Move with awareness and presence, soaking in the beauty of the Alpstein
• Meditation & breathwork: Ground and recharge with simple yet powerful practices through the day
• Picnic at Sealpsee: Enjoy a break by the lake with time to rest and reflect
• Optional swim: Take a refreshing dip in the mountain lake (if you?re up for it!).
• Time to connect: Engage in meaningful conversations in a relaxed, supportive atmosphere.
• The day will be filled with group exchange, open conversations and interactive exercises

Why join:

• Step away from daily pressures: whether you?re navigating exams, research or a heavy workload, take a well-deserved pause.
• Recharge mentally & physically: Experience the benefits of nature, movement and mindfulness combined.
