Nietzsche Retreat

This retreat is prepared to explore the teachings of Friedrich Nietzsche in Sils Maria where he spent several summers and was inspirational for many of his works, including his seminal Thus Spoke Zarathustra, his gift to humanity. As we experience the house (now museum) where he stayed and the region within the context of its inspirational role, we will read and discuss some of his works. The retreat will include the following: a) explore the house/museum, meet with its director and others who played a role in its foundation, including Peter Andre Bloch (TBC); b) walking in the vicinity and hiking in the mountains, including Silvaplana, St. Moritz, and the mountains around Sils Maria; and c) reading sessions. Along with these activities, we will also cook and eat together. In terms of transportation (if and when needed), we will rely on public transportation.
