Advent Meditation Retreat at Maison Mudita
A quiet French-language Advent weekend in the Bernese Alps, guided by Anne Michel through meditation, presence and shared reflection.
Why it caught our eye
We like the small, grounded format and the setting: a mountain house, a full weekend and a clear invitation to practise presence without turning it into another task. The theme feels especially well timed for the weeks before Christmas.
About this experience
Step away from the December rush for a weekend of meditation at Maison Mudita in Abländschen. Anne Michel guides the group in French, exploring how to meet the present moment with less judgement, loosen the grip of repetitive thoughts and make room for what is here.
What you can expect
Arrive on Friday between 17:00 and 19:00 before the retreat begins at 19:00. The weekend centres on guided meditation, shared inquiry and simple practices around judgement, worry and meeting experience as it is.
Good to know before you go
The retreat runs from 11 to 13 December 2026 at Maison Mudita, Abländschenstrasse 23, 1657 Abländschen, and closes on Sunday at about 16:30. It is held in French. The CHF 140 fee covers accommodation, transport and organisation costs and the cook’s salary; a separate donation for the teacher is offered on site. Register through the official Mudita page.
