Silent New Year Meditation Retreat at Maison Mudita
A six-day French-language retreat in the Bernese Alps, meeting the turn of the year through silence, meditation and the question “Who am I?”.
Why it caught our eye
We like the unhurried six-day format and the clarity of the invitation: step away from the usual New Year noise, spend the threshold in silence and stay with one essential question in a small mountain house.
About this experience
Welcome the new year in silence at Maison Mudita in Abländschen. Anne Michel guides this French-language retreat around the question “Who am I?”, with meditation, quiet reflection and shared practice in a mountain setting from 27 December through New Year’s Day.
