Soulful Human & Nature Experiences
At all Seasons
'Winter Fairy' deluxe Retreat
January 26-29th, 2023, VAl D'Herens
4 days in the off-beaten track of the swiss alps
With longer nights, snow covered and leafless trees, in winter the story is not obvious. It is for you to create one!
Walking through snow caped 400 years old houses, where perhaps still some fairies live, indulging into the winter landscape, snow shoeing surrounded by Swiss famous peaks, they are reaching high…
​
Leave the busy city life behind and come to enjoy the peacefulness of this place, incredible landscape and give self-care time for yourself. The Magnificence of winter and the Swiss alps in the off-beaten track place.
​
During day time we will snow shoe, immerse into the wilderness and enjoy the local landscapes. Experience the softness of the snow and plunge into some adventures. Adventure is where you meet yourself.
​
In the afternoons we will integrate this experience through the practice of Yin Yoga, curling by the fire place with a cup of tea, snuggling up with a blanket. All top upped with the local delights prepared by our private chef Coralie.
​
As the darkness will be spreading early in the evenings, we will take care of ourselves- drink tea, take a Nordic bath watching the stars directly from them…

The place where we will be staying has saved 6 of them and created a tiny village, this is where we will be staying- this is an exceptional place, old from outside, creative and limitless inside.

retreat Creator and Leader
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). She has also recently become a certified Yin yoga instructor.
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

,Ruta is a fabulous guide and retreat host. She's friendly and super caring. She knows very well what she is doing, wants to provide and what to do. I enjoy doing hiking without worrying about which direction to take, when to take my train, and all the planning. I trust that everyone will have soul-opening and mind-boggling experience with Ruta if you let her kindly take your hands and lead you into the woods or over the hills., Trinh Nguyen
