• 5 days 2-4 hours of guided Shinrin- and Shizen-Yoku to the most beautiful forests and beaches of the region. The programme builds up throughout the week, thus guidance will be more detailed in the beginning, preparing you to incorporate different practices independently by the end of the week and after your return back home.
• 6 guided meditations, usually before breakfast
• 6 yoga classes, usually before dinner
• 2 workshops: introduction to Freediving Apnea Techniques and making ceramics with Oficina Na Escola
• free use of pool, sauna & bikes (15min to the beach)
• And plenty of time to be actively lazy!

• 6 nights / 7 days accommodation at the Alentejo Lodge about 15min by bike to the ocean
• minimalistic private bedroom (incl linen, towels, hairdryer) with a lot of natural light, an ensuite bathroom and direct access to a patio. Rooms vary between 18-30m sqm but as the center of the week is the programme itself we allocate rooms on first-come-first-served basis.
• all family-style meals are included: breakfast, lunch and dinner cooked by our plant-based chef as well as a coffee & tea station with fruits and nuts during the day.
• transfer is not included. As there is no public transport nearby, we recommend to either rent a car or we can organise a transfer for you at an extra cost. Closer to arrival we can also sent out an e-mail to participants for shared transport.

every participant receives a lifelong passive Friends of Saanenwald membership: stay connected with fellow members and the team!

SPONSORED STAYS

We follow a social business concept: next to paying participants we are able to sponsor the stay for up to 20 less fortunate participants this year (1 out of 3 participants). If you know of anyone who is going through a truly challenging time in his or her life and would benefit from a break and participation at SAANENWALD, contact us via e-mail.

For our Portugal programme we can only accept Portuguese Residents to apply for a sponsored stay..

The value of the week is CHF 1'900 per person.

As we finance the sponsored stays through the revenues of paying participants and donations, we cannot offer any other direct discounts.

Reservation & Cancellation Policy: A deposit of 50% is required to secure your place, paid within 1 week after confirmation of your booking. The balance is due 14 days prior to arrival. In case of cancellation, a full refund is issued only if a replacement can be found. We will also try to fill the places, but sometimes it is not possible, especially in short notice cancellations. If that is the case an administration fee of CHF 200 is deducted from your refund.
