Awakening to the Self means to discover who you truly are beyond the chattering of the mind, the fluctuations of the emotions and the changing sensations of the body. If we look into our nature, we can find an entity that never changes, that is always there, and that can be of great relief and support for us.
Through Meditation, Morning Silence, Yoga, Spirituality & Shadow Work, as well as Nature, Nature Walks, bathing in the lake, we slowly let go of whatever we take ourselves to be in the everyday life and we make space to see what’s really true for us and what we find.
Satsang and Self-Inquiry are group spaces, where we are coming together to explore questions around Self-Realisation, everyday life issues, spiritual quests, mondaine quests, and the questions will be answered from a deeper place, from the Self. Evelyne will share her wisdom, from being with Satsang teachers for many years herself, as well as from her own experience within Spiritual Psychotherapy, where she combines Spirituality and Shadow Work/Psychotherapy, as well as Trauma work.
This is a retreat where we will dive deep, without loosing the lightness and joy in it. The retreat is structured in a way that movement of the body, stillness, nature, diving deep, are in a good balance. In fact, Self-Discovery can be joyful, fun and empowering.
The Retreat Center, Shambala Gathering, is a wonderful place, surrounded by Nature, directly at a lake, with a floating sauna. The place is held by a beautiful couple Johan and Jenny, who are themselves on a deep spiritual path since years.

At Shambala, beyond being a retreat space, we cultivate a way of living deeply rooted in the yogic values of simplicity, presence, non-attachment, contentment, and communion with nature. Rather than luxury, what we offer is intimacy and a sense of belonging. Therefore, the accommodations are simple and mostly shared, with a variety of twin rooms, triple rooms, and glamping tents.
The guiding ethos is one of community and sustainability, creating a vibe that is understated, modest, welcoming, and easy. If you do feel a strong need for a single room, you can write to us at shambalagatherings@gmail.com – a limited number of single rooms is available for an additional fee.
Max. number of participants: 25
