Grief retreat

Grief retreat

A tree from below, people lay a hand on it

In the retreat, grief is allowed to show itself in its full depth. You turn to your process and learn to accept your grief and strengthen your own resources. Grief is too heavy to carry alone. It can cause both physical and psychological pain and is often invisible to others. Grief does not always manifest itself immediately after a death - sometimes the process begins earlier and often much later.

November 30 to December 3, 2025

3 nights

Single room from CHF 999.–
Room with two beds from CHF 1908.–

Our course management

Erika Kneubühl is a grief counselor and social worker. "I have experienced many deaths since my early childhood. In my own severe grief over three family members, I found my way to my new career path. I dedicated myself to the topic of grief, care and death in a professional context and found it a deep and versatile enrichment for my life."
