THE WAY OF THE HEART

A 3-night retreat inspired by the Air element to cultivate trust, deepen intimacy, and expand your heart’s capacity to give and receive love—both within yourself and in your relationships.

October 09-12, 2025 | Gstaad, Swiss Alps

Step into the expansive embrace of the Air element, where love flows freely, and connection is nurtured with presence and awareness. This retreat is designed for both couples and singles who are ready to deepen intimacy, build trust, and transform the way they relate—both to themselves and to others. The skills and insights gained here will not only enrich romantic relationships but also enhance the way you connect with friends, family, and the world around you.

For couples, this is an opportunity to strengthen your bond, uncover unconscious patterns that may be creating distance, and learn tools for deeper emotional and physical intimacy.

By deepening your connection to self-love, you will cultivate the emotional clarity, confidence, and openness to attract and nurture the kind of love you truly desire.

Over 3 days, we will weave together breathwork, conscious relating exercises, shadow work, and embodiment practices to support you in experiencing love in its most expansive and liberated form.

  • This retreat truly was the kickstart to everything that has happened internally and externally since then. It definitely cracked something open and has been the catalyst for all that followed after; my world is greatly shifting. I think the biggest things that have happened are discovering and working through unresolved trauma, and opening myself to love again. I’ll treasure my time at this retreat for a long time to come.

  • Thank you so much for the most expansive and life changing retreat. I am deeply grateful for the experience which has allowed me to connect to my soul in ways that I’ve never experienced. I received the most powerful insights about myself and my soul’s journey. So much laughter, tears and deep connections were made. Thank you for helping me to embrace my divine feminine heart and to connect to the magic within me.

    Andrea

  • We cried, we laughed and we ignited the fire within us together. The amount of love that we all felt together was truly magical. And all of that was only possible because we could deeply trust Nour and the space she created for us. These few days felt like a dream and a necessity for the soul. I recommend anyone take part in such a retreat as it really is an experience you’ll never forget! I walk away feeling so refreshed and filled with so much love. And as a huge plus I have also made some friends for life!

    Safia

  • This retreat was one of the most intimate and deeply touching experiences I’ve ever had. Nour has such a beautiful and loving nature, her authenticity is inspiring and she has the ability to create such a safe space for human beings, to be seen just as they are, without any form of judgment. Her embodiment practices and tools, intertwined with mindfulness are gifts that I will carry with me forever, and being able to implement them into my day to day life has been a real game changer. I left this retreat feeling so nourished, connected to myself and others, rested and deeply grateful.

    Jennifer

  • THANK YOU - from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for this wonderful journey into me, surrounded by beautiful nature and wonderful souls who held space and time for me and my path of healing. Nour, you created a space that was so filled with love and security. You supported me to get closer to my essence and gave tools and possibilities to continue my deep work of healing and creation of power. I will come back and support you wherever I can.
