Center of Unity Schweibenalp

Brienz,

Switzerland

(Schweibenalp)

Course- and Seminar Center

Oasis for the Art of Living

School of Heart and Consciousness for the New Age

Central to our vision is faith in the unity of humankind, regardless of culture or belief, and that this unity can be experienced in the heart.

Center of Unity creates an open space for the art of living and considers itself to be a school of heart and consciousness.

A place of communal living and working, we are committed to realising and putting into practice the principles of truth, simplicity, love, unity and peace in our everyday lives.

We are continuing and bringing to life the traditionally developed forms of spiritual practice from our founding time.

We particularly focus on the ways young people view and perceive the world.

Ecological issues and permaculture are also very important to us.

Our community of about 20 women and men is enthusistic about the sheer and utter joy of living, creativity, sense of community, compassion, truthful communication and real encounters.

Our sphere of activities includes our course and seminar center, communal living, our in-house programme and global networking.

We are united by our everyday life, our handling of everyday situations and our attitude toward such situations - combining heart, humour and ease of being.

We invite you to join us in living these experiences, getting to know and enjoy the Center, our community and the natural surroundings.
