Narcisses' bloom Retreat May 22-24th
Meadow where Nature Therapy will be taking place
I Wondered Lonely as a Cloud
'I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.'
William Wordsworth
Welcome to 'Narcissus bloom ' Retreat.
May 22-24th, 2021 Caux- Montreux Riviera, SWITZERLAND
May is the month of bloom in the Alpine Meadows.
Swiss Alpine flowers in full bloom are one of the loveliest sights you can see in the Alps mountain range. The best time to see the Alpine flowers of Switzerland is late spring to mid-summer, when bright blossoms will surround you in the meadows and high rocky ground of the mountains.
The Narcisse’s therapy retreat welcomes you to the exceptional place of Montreux Riviera.
Wild narcissi bloom in May and transform the meadows above Montreux into immaculately white, perfumed landscapes. As soon as the snow melts, the leaves of the narcissi (narcissus radiiflorus) shoot out of the earth and unfold the energy stored in their bulbs to burst into bloom precociously. This narcissi bloom is known since Belle Epoque as ‘May Snow’.
Perfumed, white, flower abundant trails invite us to admire the most beautiful meadows and breathtaking landscapes.
This retreat is exceptionally focusing on Nature: the astonishing outside world as well as your inner naturalness.
While experiencing the abundant spring flower fields, the incredible mountain views, you will fully immerse into yourself.
​Nature connection practices, such as hiking, forest therapy and natural mindfulness, are pathways allowing to return to a basis of health and happiness. While exploring the outside environment, you will rediscover and reconnect with our inner world.

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. Her last big adventure was in Kyrgyzstan in summer 2018 when she with other team members has climbed some alpine peaks which have never been climbed before- above 4000m. In 2017 she packed her mountain bag and went trekking alone in Himalaya.
Ruta is a professional neuro-coach (Neuroleadership Institute, London), and forest therapy guide (Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, USA). Ruta is currently studying to become a mountain guide in Switzerland.
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
Testimonial From Last Retreat
'After 3 weeks I still close my eyes and find myself immersed in a powerful experience in nature leaded by Ruta.
I'm a nature lover and explorer yet the wonderful retreat had layers of experience that I did not expect. I would do this again any time, and I recommend anyone who would like to let themselves be guided both in the outside and inside for a little while, to join one of Ruta's retreats. I went there with the intention of simply do what I was told, without questioning or wondering why. I just did it and gave myself to it and it was really wonderful. Thank you Ruta, hope to see you again!''
