SOULSINNATURE
CONNECTING TO THE SOURCE
Events in Ticino (CH) and Worldwide Retreats in Nature
SoulsinNature is a Swiss-based initiative, born to provide unique memorable experiences in nature, able to heal and strengthen body, mind and soul.
We organize outdoor one-day events (both public and private) and retreats, combining yoga and other activities in nature.
We offer enriching moments, immersions in nature, opportunities for you to go deeper into yourself, and to deepen your knowledge about local natural heritage.
You will also be able to meet new people, find new places and new visions, within and around yourself.
We work mainly in Canton Ticino, where we are based, with a particular focus in the south part of this beautiful region, but our retreats go beyond Swiss borders.
Our activities include yoga and biodiversity, yoga and hiking, yoga and trekking, yoga and natural cuisine, yoga and mindfulness, yoga and local wild herbs picking.

"I think that we’ve become very disconnected from the natural world, and many of us, what we’re guilty of is an egocentric world view — the belief that we’re the center of the universe. We go into the natural world, and we plunder it for its resources.
I think that when we use love and compassion as our guiding principles, we can create, develop and implement systems of change that are beneficial to all sentient beings and to the environment.
And I think that we’re at our best when we support each other, when we help each other to grow, when we educate each other, when we guide each other toward redemption.
THAT IS THE BEST OF HUMANITY."
- Joaquin Phoenix

Our Values
We value honesty, integrity, fraternity, authenticity, humility.
We value humanity and the magic of deeply encountering other human beings and growing up together.
We value redemption, compassion and collaboration over competition.
We value efforts and ideas that contribute to the creation of a more sustainable world, where our daily actions do not undermine the capacity of future generations to meet their basic needs.
We value authentic JOY and GRATITUDE.
Our Vision
We envision a world where Men, re-connecting to Nature and to their own breath, regenerate themselves, becoming healthier, more human, more present and aware, more responsible.
We envision a world where Men are aware of the importance of taking care of body, mind and soul, thus really protecting their own lives, the lives of others and the environment that welcomes them/us.
We envision a world where Men recognise the connection between all life and develop fraternity and love, not only for planet Earth but for the entire Universe.
Our Mission
... is that of:
- ELEVATING ourselves and others reaching new levels of awareness and consciousness.
- INSPIRING others to give increased value to life and to taking care of the natural heritage of our planet.
- ALLOWING people to live REGENERATING experiences, able to nurture and heal body, mind and soul.
- CREATING occasions for people to take a distance from virtual technology, to go deeper into nature, into themselves and to get closer in contact with other human beings and with the surrounding environment, discovering new treasures within and all around.
- STIMULATING in humans the capacity to be increasingly present in their own lives, creating stronger and more authentic relationships.
Get Involved
Viajar! Perder países!
Ser outro constantemente,
Por a alma não ter raízes
De viver de ver somente!
Não pertencer nem a mim!
Ir em frente, ir a seguir
A ausência de ter um fim,
E da ânsia de o conseguir!
Viajar assim é viagem.
Mas faço-o sem ter de meu
Mais que o sonho da passagem.
O resto é só terra e céu.
Fernando Pessoa
