The Empowerment Retreat Program® offers highly effective, simple and practical methods to restore and strengthen your mental and physical performance.
This program designed is for people who are exposed to high and chronical stress, suffering from sickness caused by stress or psychosomatic disorders such as depression or stress-depression (burnout) or who see themselves to become ill in the immediate future.
The basic assumption in the Empowerment-Retreat-Program® is that body and mind are interdependent.
If you are physically exhausted, your cognition and creativity will suffer as well.
If you are mentally exhausted, your body will reflect that back to you.
In the Empowerment Retreat Program® we see you holistically and offer an innovative program that starts and works on all levels.
You will get instant and long lasting results within two weeks.
Within the ERP we rely on small and continuous impulses. Everything is designed in a way that makes it easy to implement the changes for you and can also be integrated well into your everyday life after the retreat, so that you can benefit from the beneficial effects in the long term.
Following new scientific findings, the Empowerment Retreat Program® starts on different levels at the same time. We aim to gain physical access to emotions such as anger, fear etc., whereby different nerve cords of the autonomic nervous system are stimulated.
Including the body in personal development processes increases the effectiveness of the measures and supports the integration of new beliefs.
Your own perception improves and the formation of new connections in the brain is encouraged. On the physical level, the work is both activating and relaxing.
You will receive massages from physiotherapists and exclusive training for whole body strengthening to improve your fitness.
On the intellectual-cognitive level, we work with you to explore the causes of the stressful state, strengthen your resources and formulate positive and clear goals for the future. You will learn techniques and receive emotional training, meditations and coaching that will help you master future challenges without losing energy. We give you the space so that you can go inside in peace and devote yourself to your personal growth.
Through the program, post-stress reactions can be inhibited in a targeted and efficient manner, so that you can regenerate completely and take preventive measures against stress of all kinds.

Feedback Empowerment-Retreat-Program®
"Dear Astrid,
On my hike through the Swiss mountains, vivid memories of your two Empowerment Retreat Program® weekends emerge again and again, for which I would like to thank you once again from the bottom of my heart. With great commitment, organizational talent and a wealth of ideas, you succeeded in creating an atmosphere in which I could immediately feel comfortable. Everything seemed so harmonious because it was arranged down to the last detail:
Colors, flowers and candle lights were arranged like a piece of art.
You welcomed us all warmly and presented your interesting, varied program in a fascinating introductory lecture, as it was immediately received with enthusiasm. It was noticeable that, based on your many years of physiotherapy experience, you have developed extremely efficient and original methods for relaxation, regeneration and healing that focus on the whole person - physically, mentally and spiritually.
Here in the Valais Alps, I benefit from the various methods and tips that you have shown us. I mainly train parasympathetic breathing, peripheral vision and panoramic vision.
With your special QiGong and Qi-Trancemotion® exercises, I start the day full of energy, and after strenuous hikes, your acupressure tips protect me from sore muscles in the evening.
Last, but not least: Your meditations are real highlights, such as the "healing hypnosis", the "flight of the eagle" and the "starry sky." While resting at a mountain lake, I have love to remember many impressive scenes from the ERP.
​
Our group was really a stroke of luck! Through your sensitive psychological impulses in the discussion groups, you motivated us to openly and honestly address problems in an intensive exchange of ideas and to reflect on different perspectives and life plans.
One thing was very important for me: We spontaneously laughed heartily together, for example at soft snoring tones as an expression of deep relaxation during the daily massages.
When we said goodbye, our group impressively expressed how grateful we are to you for the abundance of targeted, well-founded suggestions and encouragement that you have given us to transform old thought patterns and to be able to redesign our lives.
​
Thank you very much, I look back on your two ERP weekends and I feel highly motivated! "
