Mindfull Walk

Invitation to the 7th Commemorative Event in Honor of Nature and Dr. Albert Schweitzer

Join us for this second last moment of reflection and contemplation, inspired by the philosophy of Albert Schweitzer, whose ideas on “Reverence for Life” resonate more strongly than ever in today’s world.

Theme: “What does Nature have to say to us?”

📅 Sunday, September 14, from 2:00 p.m. to around 3:30–4:00 p.m.
📍 Car park behind the Cret Bérard building, followed by a gentle walk along the meditative path (reachable on foot from Puidoux Train Station, approx. 40 min).

🌿 This event is open to everyone, free of charge. It will include a short walk, reflections on quotes and the life of Albert Schweitzer, and an introduction to Yoga, Qi Gong, and Shinrin Yoku.
