Some important notes on what to bring.

What you should bring with you:

• Warm clothes: at Dr Joe’s request the hall is cooled to 20 °C (68 °F). Pack a layer more than the weather outside suggests.
• Meditation Mask: To help you focus fully on the event and your inner peace, we ask that you bring your own meditation mask. If you don’t have one, you can purchase a meditation mask at the bookstore at any time.
• Seat cushion (for the Silver category): Since you’ll be spending a lot of time sitting, a seat cushion (max. 40×40 cm; larger ones are not permitted at the St. Jakobshalle) is recommended if you’ve purchased a Silver ticket, as the chairs there are not padded.
• Please do not wear perfume: Out of consideration for our fellow participants who may be sensitive to fragrances, we ask that you do not use perfume or other strong-smelling products.

Make the Most of It—Your Stay in Basel and the Region

Come a few days early. Stay a little longer. Basel and the surrounding region will reward you for every hour you spend there.

🧠 A City of Great Thinkers

It is no coincidence that a retreat like this is taking place in Basel. For centuries, this city has attracted people who look deeper, who push the boundaries of thought, and who seek to understand the human being in his or her entirety:

• Friedrich Nietzsche – Taught at the University of Basel from 1869 to 1879, where he underwent a transformation into a radical thinker who questioned traditional values down to their very roots
• Carl Gustav Jung —the founder of analytical psychology—studied medicine in Basel and spent his entire life exploring the depths of the human unconscious.
• Karl Jaspers —an existential philosopher and a bridge-builder between psychiatry and philosophy—taught at the University of Basel beginning in 1948 and lived there until his death
• Erasmus of Rotterdam —The great Renaissance humanist spent his most productive years in Basel; his grave can still be found today in Basel Cathedral
• Paracelsus —a 16th-century physician, mystic, and alchemist—taught at the University of Basel and viewed the body, mind, and cosmos as an inseparable unity. This perspective is remarkably close to the core idea of this retreat.
• Rudolf Steiner – Founded the Goetheanum right next door in Dornach, the world center of anthroposophy and a symbol of the connection between spirituality, science, and the development of consciousness

That spirit can still be felt today—in the alleys, in the museums, and along the banks of the Rhine.

🏛️ Discover Basel – The Top Highlights

• Basel Minster —the city’s landmark: red sandstone, Gothic towers, the tomb of Erasmus of Rotterdam, and a breathtaking view of the Rhine from the Pfalz Terrace
• Town Hall on the Market Square – This bright red, late-Gothic building from the early 16th century is the heart of the Old Town and the seat of the government and parliament of the canton of Basel-Stadt
• Mittlere Brücke —Basel’s oldest crossing over the Rhine connects Großbasel and Kleinbasel and is one of the city’s most beautiful vantage points
• Tinguely Fountain on Theaterplatz —Jean Tinguely’s kinetic water sculptures dance and spout water where the stage of the old municipal theater once stood. A must-see, about a ten-minute walk from the center of the Old Town
• Kunstmuseum Basel – One of Europe’s most important art museums, featuring works by Van Gogh, Monet, Picasso, and Warhol
• Fondation Beyeler – A world-class private museum in Riehen featuring impressive works of modern art in a building designed by Renzo Piano
• Tinguely Museum – Dedicated to the Basel artist Jean Tinguely; kinetic sculptures, humor, and flashes of inspiration all in one
• Spalenberg & Spalentor – A medieval city gate and bustling shopping street, one of the most beautiful in the entire Old Town
• Experience the Rhine —stroll along both banks. On warm days, the people of Basel float down the river with a Wickelfisch, the waterproof bag that keeps their clothes dry while they swim.
• Kleinbasel – The creative, lively side of the Rhine with bars, bistros, and street art, perfect for a relaxing evening

🌿 Day Trips – Where Three Countries Meet

• Goetheanum Dornach (10 km / 20 min.) – Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual “total work of art,” designated a cultural asset of national significance since 1993; a place of quiet power that perfectly captures the spirit of this event
• Augusta Raurica (15 km / 20 min.) – The best-preserved Roman theater north of the Alps, along with a Roman house and a museum. History you can experience firsthand
• Colmar & Alsace (about 1 hour by train, with a transfer in Mulhouse) – A fairytale-like half-timbered town, wine tasting, tarte flambée, picturesque canal-side streets. A half-day that leaves a lasting impression
• Black Forest (southern edge about 45 minutes away, Titisee about 1.5 hours away) – Dense forests, absolute silence, ideal for anyone looking to recharge between event days; day trips start right from Basel
