THE PLACE BY THE WOODS
Authenticity Retreat
A few days to return to what matters
A space to slow down.
To breathe.
To reconnect with what truly matters.
A few days to return to what matters
A space to slow down.
To breathe.
To reconnect with what truly matters.
Perhaps you will recognize yourself…
Perhaps, from the outside, everything seems to be in place.
And yet, something still doesn’t feel fully settled.
Not an obvious problem.
Not a visible lack.
Rather, a quiet but persistent feeling.
As if the noise of everyday life had gradually taken up all the space.
Leaving very little room…
To breathe.
To slow down.
To simply be.
Perhaps you are not looking for yet another experience.
You’ve already tried.
Different places.
Different approaches.
Different retreats.
Sometimes something resonates…
But before long, everyday life takes over again.
Perhaps what you need today is not to do more.
But to find a space where you can lay down what you’ve been carrying.
A space where life naturally slows down.
And where what truly matters can gently come back into view.
A simple place, at the edge of the forest
A house in a small village in the Swiss Jura, nestled beside the forest.
Nature is just outside the door.
Silence has its place.
Life naturally slows down.
The days have room to breathe.
Everything invites you to return to something more essential.
What unfolds here
There is a structure.
But above all, there is space for whatever wishes to emerge.
We take the time to welcome whatever asks to be lived, according to the moment and the natural rhythm of the retreat.
Over the course of the days, we may share…
- walks in the forest or time in the garden,
- moments of silence,
- meaningful conversations,
- breathing practices,
- moments of contemplation,
- guided meditation or relaxation,
- simple meals,
- or simply the pleasure of doing nothing.
Because emptiness also has its place.
No expectations.
No obligations.
Simply space for whatever naturally unfolds.
My way of being present
For many years, I searched, explored and experimented.
Today, I am more interested in what is already here. In what connects us.
I do not seek to offer ready-made answers.
I simply enjoy creating a space where people can lay down what they carry, regain clarity and move forward at their own pace.
Every person is different.
Every retreat is unique.
Some retreats are offered with Sergii
You can choose to experience your retreat with me, or to share it with Sergii and me.
The philosophy remains the same: to slow down, return to what matters, and create a space where a genuine encounter can take place.

🌿 Retreat with Tania & Sergii
The same philosophy, enriched by our two different sensibilities.
We share the same intention, but each of us embodies it in our own way.
I bring a calm, attentive and contemplative presence. I enjoy taking time, listening deeply, and allowing things to unfold gently.
Sergii brings a more dynamic and spontaneous energy. His connection to the body, the breath, cold exposure, movement and the vibration of sound opens different paths towards presence.
Together, we create a balance where stillness and vitality, silence and movement naturally complement one another.
Depending on your needs and wishes, the retreat may also include breathing practices, yoga, qi gong, cold-water immersion, massage, sound baths, handpan or didgeridoo workshops, or other experiences that feel appropriate in the moment.
At certain times of the year, retreats are offered together with Sergii.
