Healing as Harmony: East Meets West at the Source. 

The International Health & Happiness Retreat Center is more than a destination—it is a living bridge between ancient wisdom and modern life. Rooted in the philosophies of Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism, and enriched by Western approaches to wellness and psychology, the retreat offers a sanctuary for those seeking clarity, balance, and transformation.

Our vision is to cultivate inner alignment through practices that are both timeless and urgently relevant to today’s world. We draw from the East’s deep understanding of breath, rhythm, and natural cycles, and the West’s inquiry into emotion, consciousness, and personal meaning.

A Global Circle of Teachers

​

Guest teachers and cultural collaborators bring voices from around the world, ensuring a truly global dialogue.

A Place to Return to the Self
Bad Ragaz, Walensee, Rheintal Switzerland. Situated in the heart of the Swiss Alps, our retreat center overlooks the crystal-clear Lake Walensee—known for its stillness and power. The site was chosen for its resonance with the ancient principles of feng shui and its natural alignment with the rhythms of water, wind, and silence. A true sanctuary.
