NEW YEAR URBAN RETREAT
January 14 & 15 | Kraftwerk Zürich
Release and renew through a journey of embodiment practices
and healing sounds inspired by elemental wisdom.
Meditation | Sound Healing | Movement | Breathwork | Deep Relaxation | & More
We’re delighted to be running a 2 day urban retreat with the intention to let go of the old while also setting our intentions and celebrating the new year. Join us for this immersive and transformational journey amongst like-minded individuals in a safe, judgment free space. Inspired by nature’s elements, these two days will be filled with carefully curated sessions and experiences designed to bring about profound healing, connection, insights and transformation. Earth, water, fire, air and ether are the building blocks of human life. We have all of these within us, and when we can understand the qualities of each element and recognize them in our body, actions, thoughts and emotions, we can flow through life with more ease.
This urban retreat is open to everyone regardless of your level of experience. We hope you’ll join us for a wonderful weekend together!

She is also especially skilled at curating music and creating transformational experiences that strongly resonate for many.
Jade Rolt
Our special guest for this urban retreat is coming to us all the way from Barcelona! DJ and sound practitioner, Jade started her journey through vibration instruments with the handpan, or mini UFO (as she calls it) in 2018. In 2021 she received the international certificate of the Spanish institute of Sound Therapy (IES). She combines overtone singing, gong and ancestral singing bowls, and her sound therapies are a direct journey of recalibrating your inner waters. In addition to her sound baths, she is known for the energy she spreads during her DJ sets and her live performance which includes her beloved instrument; the handpan, with which she will spread her magic.
