Nature Connection Practices
Forest Therapy (japanese Shinrin Yoku) is a sensorial experience and mindful way to connect with nature.
This research based framework supports healing and wellbeing through immersion in forests and other natural environments. Experience this practice in the forest and in the mountains.
Ruta is a certified Shinrin Yoku guide and will be inviting you to experience it Outside and Inside.
Yoga Practice
The Yoga practice is open to all levels. Morning class focuses on waking up the body, stimulating the harmonious flow of energy in the muscles, joints and organs. The evening class (Yin Yoga or restorative one) is aimed at offering a deep and relaxing state of mind.
Chanting Bowls
Chanting bowls reaching shamanic times invite you to dwell into the deepest parts of yourself.
​
​
Inner Purpose Workshop
In those shaky times its more than ever to tune in yourself to understand your inner purpose, your inner ,Why,? It does not matter – weather you are business owner, corporate worker, mom or artist- tuning into your inner Why is a powerful way of grounding, coming back to what matters to you and align your life to it.
A specially curated for this retreat neuro-science based workshop will allow you to realize your purpose and leave retreat having it clear and perhaps even with few actions in mind.
Winter hiking & mindful walking
Open your eyes, activate your ears, slow down your feet and walk. When you re-learn how to walk mindfully, you will never walk and see nature in the same way again. Be Outside Participants love this and share that this is life changing experience!
Glacier 3000 Experience EXCLUSIVE
​
Glacier 3000, located at the highest point of the Vaudois and will leave you speechless with its stunning views and Nordic experience. We will take time to walk on the suspension bridge, on the glacier and depending on the conditions-Ice cave. And, oh wow, we will have a chance to enjoy Dog sledding during our Adventure time on Glacier 3000.
This is a very safe environment suitable for beginners but gives you a feel that you are on another planet.

Ruta, mountain leader, nature therapy guide & coach
About Ruta
Ruta did her first hike back in 2013- she then realized that the real life is not happening in the indoor- office environment but rather outside.
This made her realize that she was missing something important in her life- connection with Nature. Since then, most of her time she spends outside- climbing, hiking, wild camping, walking in the forests, parks and other natural places. She has become hiking ‚guru‘ and is now passionate to share the most beautiful places in the Swiss Alps with the others. Retreat participants often say that Ruta's passion for Nature is contagious.
Ruta is a professional mountain leader ( Association of Mountain Guides in Switzerland), neuro-coach (Neuroleadership Institute, London), and forest therapy guide (Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, USA).
By creating Be Outside Coaching movement, she has connected her 2 major passions: activities outside and human development. Be Outside Coaching delivers immersive and holistic Nature experiences in the different corners of pristine the Swiss Alps.
Be Outside. Be Authentic. Be You
Sahara, yoga teacher
About Sahara
Sahara is a 500h+ Yoga trained teacher.
She did her first 200h training in Norway, before she decided to go travel the world. She taught yoga wherever she could before landing in Costa Rica to do her 300h Hatha Vinyasa training.
Apart from Hatha and Vinyasa, Sahara also teaches Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra and Yogastrology. Her love for yoga came from her background in Dance. While in school she felt like she needed a practice to balance out her training and yoga became her best friend. Over the years Yoga has taught her so much more than just the physical benefits of the practice. It’s showed her how to bring balance back into her life and live from a place of Peace. It has taught her how to reconnect to Nature and appreciate the ebb and flow of the seasons around her.
It showed her the power of unifying her love with the patience of the Earth. Now Sahara teaches Yoga and Meditation in Private settings, allowing each student to get the most out of the practice that are tailored to them. All she wants is to share with the world the Magic Yoga has taught her, hoping that her teaching will inspires someone like it has inspired her.

Testimonial From Last Retreats
'This year has been so hard and I have felt a terrible urge to escape my daily life, the uncertainty and the heavy routine. Joining Ruta's Autumn retreat was one of the best things that happened to me in 2020.
Ruta's carefully chosen location for the retreat was beyond what I could have imagined.. She is madly passionate about nature and outdoor living and she transmits this passion and to everyone around. I have discovered forest bathing, mindful hiking, participated in many activities I've never heard of before, I have let myself follow the rhythm and it was incredibly calming, nurturing and emotional experience.
I'm impressed with Ruta's facilitation skills too.
We were a group of 12 women with 12 different nationalities, cultures, backgrounds, personalities and expectations sharing this 3-day experience. Ruta managed all that diversity and strong emotions coming out with ease. She created an inclusive and safe environment for all of us to feel comfortable, heard and supported. Through many different activities, each of us could find a way to share (or not) that one was comfortable with. She managed to keep us motivated and outdoors even when the weather was difficult, during those 3 days we had sun, rain and even snow!!
The retreat was well planned, the sessions were well prepared with little surprises that went straight to the heart of each participant (I can't name as it would be a spoiler for next participants!)
I loved the place so much that I have prolonged my stay by an additional day and I'm already looking forward to next year!!'
