Soulful Health is a transformative 4-day retreat designed to help you reconnect with your body and mind amidst the breathtaking surroundings of Zermatt. Hosted at the stunning CERVO Mountain Resort, this retreat aims to enhance physical and mental well-being through transformative practices, expert guidance, and the restorative power of nature.

Retreat Leaders
Sukkhadas was quite literally catapulted back to life by the transformative power of the Wim Hof Method. After battling burnout and depressive phases, he found new courage and inner strength through practicing the Wim Hof Method. Inspired by this profound personal transformation, Sukkhadas is now passionately dedicated to sharing his experiences and knowledge through workshops and retreats across Europe and America. His own story serves as a powerful example of how the Wim Hof Method can positively impact lives, helping people strengthen their mental and physical health and ignite their life energy. In his workshops, Sukkhadas gives participants the opportunity to learn from his journey and experience the benefits of the Wim Hof Method for themselves. With his compassionate and knowledgeable approach, he guides individuals on their personal path to inner bliss, helping them live fulfilling and healthy lives.
