The center has guided participants since 2017 and reports having accompanied more than 2,000 people through these journeys.

Set in the Canton of Bern, the experience has a regional backdrop of varied landscapes; confirm the precise address and on-site facilities before travelling. This is a retreat for people curious about guided plant-medicine work, rather than a conventional meditation break built around a published daily timetable.
