Conscious Dialogue Weekend at Maison Mudita

We were drawn to the quiet precision of this weekend: it is neither a talking workshop nor a silent retreat, but a thoughtful meeting of both. The small mountain house, clear rhythm and paired practice make room for connection without forcing intimacy.

Step away from everyday noise for a weekend of Conscious Dialogue at Maison Mudita. Guided by Adriana Orellana de Rickebusch, the retreat combines meditation, silence and structured dialogue in pairs, creating a simple setting to notice how presence changes the way we listen and meet one another.

The weekend is held mostly in silence, with periods of guided Insight Dialogue in pairs. Adriana introduces the practice and supports a rhythm of meditation, listening and spoken inquiry. Arrive on Friday between 17:00 and 19:00 for a light meal; the programme begins at 19:00 and closes on Sunday at about 16:30.

The CHF 140 fee covers accommodation, transport, organisation and the cook. Adriana’s teaching is offered separately on a DANA basis, with a voluntary contribution at the end. The programme is in French; contact the organiser if the fixed fee is a barrier.
