Spirit of the Drum

"Spirits of the Drum" is a 3-day nature experience for you and your soul.

Surrounded and embraced by a majestic natural landscape at over 2,000 meters above sea level on the beautiful Aletsch Glacier, we’ll let our drums sing and connect with one another.

Group drumming, healing rituals, dancing, live music, a Mama Cacao ceremony, a fairy tale evening, a light hike, and vision quests await you.

Are you ready to remember—yourself and the natural rhythm of life?
