Hosted by facilitator, and systems changer: Charly Kleissner
During this retreat, you will be guided through a thoughtfully curated program led by meditator, facilitator, and systems changer Charly Kleissner. Known for his deep intention to inspire meaningful reflection, he invites participants to explore the purpose of their own lives, question the status quo, and engage with systemic change. His work encourages conscious, intentional action for deeper personal and collective impact.
In this retreat you will advance our understanding of Inner and Outer Transformation in the context of systems change and impact investing. We will do this by creating a safe container that allows for joint practice, experience, and integration of inner processes, knowledge exchange, and emergence of potential collaboration and community.
Nature is part of the experience. Take a dip in the infinity pool, unwind in the sauna, or relax in a hammock with a book and the sound of the valley around you. We invite you to explore the surroundings through: guided hikes and valley walks, visits to local regenerative projects in the valley shaping the region, or simply take time to breathe, think, and let new ideas emerge.
Charly’s life and work are grounded in four interconnected intentions, each expressing a holistic path toward evolving human consciousness:
Living a spiritual life, rooted in yoga, awareness, and inner stillness
Embracing a regenerative and sustainable life, in harmony with nature
Leading a life of service, dedicated to humanity and the planet
Cultivating a life in community, fostering meaningful and conscious connections
His path is one of non-ego-based action, detached from outcomes and guided by what he describes as Yoga consciousness: a state of joy, equanimity, humility, and compassion. Through this mindful way of living, he prepares himself to meet life—and ultimately death—with peace and awareness. His purpose is to support the evolution of human consciousness, helping others live in harmony with the universe through a spiritual, regenerative, and joyful life in service and connection with others.
Your journey begins with the Crossing of the Muga River, a symbolic ritual inviting you to set intentions and release daily distractions. Surrounded by the valley’s natural beauty, this mindful pause creates a moment of calm, focus, and presence, marking the start of your retreat. On the second evening, enjoy the Live Cooking Together Experience, where preparing regional dishes becomes a joyful, shared act that fosters connection and presence. The retreat culminates in a Celebration Night, an unforgettable gathering at The Home of the Pioneers, honoring the journey, the connections made, and the insights gained.
Your stay includes a full board program to nourish body and mind, featuring daily wholesome breakfasts, two-course lunches, and carefully prepared dinners. All meals are made with fresh, healthy produce from our own land and local farms.
A self-service café-bar buffet is available throughout the day, offering beverages and light refreshments to keep you energized and comfortable between sessions.
