About this Retreat
Your Guides
David Perry is an ontological leadership coach and seasoned mindfulness-meditation teacher based in Zürich. After two decades shaping technology products in Silicon Valley, he traded boardrooms for mountaintops and now guides intimate groups through transformational retreats in the Swiss Alps. Drawing on 25 years of daily practice, David blends evidence-based coaching with contemplative wisdom to help guests release stress, regain clarity, and return home grounded and energised.
When he isn’t leading the Alpine Renewal Retreat high above Lake Lucerne, David works one-on-one with leaders worldwide, supporting them to cultivate presence and purposeful action. Participants call his retreats “super relaxing” and “powerful,” praising the personalised guidance that begins before arrival and continues long after departure. Whether you’re new to mindfulness or looking to deepen your practice, David provides the space, structure, and gentle encouragement needed to rediscover your best self in nature’s quiet grandeur.
Details of this retreat
The Alpine Renewal Retreat is a five-day, small-group immersion set on a quiet ridge above Lake Lucerne in the car-free village of Eggberge, Switzerland. Here in the Swiss Alps, guests trade urban noise for crisp mountain air, panoramic peaks and the welcoming comfort of Berglodge37. Each day blends guided mindfulness meditation, ontological coaching sessions, reflective journaling and mindful nature walks, giving you uninterrupted space to release stress and gain fresh perspective on your life.
Because the group is deliberately limited in size, every participant receives personalized coaching before, during and after the retreat, ensuring that the insights you discover in the mountains translate into lasting change at home. Nutritious vegetarian meals, coffee-and-tea breaks, and four nights of stylish en-suite accommodation are included, so you can fully relax while the program gently unfolds — from a welcome dinner on arrival day to a scenic boat ride to Lucerne on departure morning.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, at a crossroads, or simply craving deeper stillness, Alpine Renewal offers the supportive environment, skilled guidance and raw Alpine beauty you need to reconnect with yourself, leave lighter, and return home renewed.
