About The Event
It will be the end of summer—a time of fullness, ripening and density
For seven days we’ll be in a calm, spacious place—surrounded by by nature and water, with a spacious dance space, a swimming pond, sauna. A place where it is easy to feel at home.
And we will be together, to discharge and recharge, to move and to dance.
We’ll explore that gentle shift from being full and feeling empty toward being empty and feeling full

+

• Glamping: 120.-
• Inside dormitory: 150.-
• Guestroom (2–3 people): 240.-
👉 Our work is offered through a free donation model grounded in trust, reciprocity, and care.
A “free donation” means there is no obligation—no expectation to give, and no requirement to contribute financially in order to participate.
At the same time, we acknowledge that we need financial contributions do help sustain our lives and allow this work to continue.
For clarity and transparency, we offer reference donation amounts as orientation only, never as a rule or expectation. Donations are always decided after an event, based on lived experience rather than anticipation or politeness.
This approach is an ongoing practice—one that invites open communication, mutual awareness, and a shared willingness to gently rewrite our inherited patterns around money, value, and exchange.

Donation references
Between 300 and 400 it would feel very appreciated and in balance with all the levels of investment from our side
They are appreciated with the same wholeheartedness a lower donation and a higher donation, the second one we know is a way to support also those who cannot give much (in terms of money).
If you cannot give any donation in the moment, it is fine for us and we stay open and curious to see in which other ways or timing an exchange can happen.
Registration
We need at least 10 people to confirm the booking.
Deadline to reach this number: June 25.
Maximum group size: approximately 16–18 people.
We will ask you for a Deposit of 100 CHF / Euro to confrim your spot.
Once the group is confirmed you can pay your contribution to Le Moulin directly to them. The rest of the contirbution of the sliding scale you can bring in cash at the event.
