Should there be any remaining vacancies and you are willing to pay a higher price for a single room, please do not hesitate to contact us.
The participants come from South Africa, India, England, North America, Germany, Ukraine and Switzerland. The language of conversation is English.
Workshop Activities
The aim of this Summer Workshop is to develop an Eurythmy Online Course on Zodiac gestures, their meaning and their practical application. During the summer workshop, we will explore eurythmy zodiac gestures in connection with the attributed planets. We will study texts, move together, explore, invent, and design attractive ways to convey eurythmy to a diverse range of people.
Participants of this workshop are invited to actively participate in the Eurythmy Online Course next year, performing, teaching, or facilitating it, however this is not an obligation. Some of our creations might be filmed during the summer workshop and be integrated into the autumn course, others will be presented live.

How You Can Prepare
We encourage you to explore the Zodiac Text Study Weeks in June 2024 as an ideal preparation for our event. If you're unable to attend, registering will grant you access to a full text pdf, presentation replays and recap texts for self-study. This foundational content will form the basis of our theoretical work during the Adlerhorst-Weeks.
Costs and Application
All participants, including the organising team Theodor and Monika, pay the same price of 800 Euros for 14 days. The amount includes accommodation and food that we buy and prepare together. If it comes out cheaper, we will decide together what to do with the remaining funds.
Participation in the Summer Workshop is by invitation only. As spaces are limited, we kindly request some information from you to better understand your background. As soon as your application has been accepted, we will send you the link to finalise your registration.

Enjoy the landscape in which we will study
Each day we will go for a walk in small groups to explore questions about eurythmy and the zodiac in nature. Your discoveries and thoughts will be shared when we return. This will inspire our work in terms of how best to bring eurythmy to the people.
Our "House Mountain", is the Wiriehorn, 2304 m above sea level (7560 feet)
From our location you can do a walk around this beautiful mountain or an easy hike to the top in about 5 hours.
Our village
Nestled on a gentle plain that gracefully melds into the natural landscape, our village is bathed in sunlight as it overlooks the valley. The large white house in the background of the village, which can be found in the center of the picture, is our home. At the valley's end lies Lake Thun, where we will go swimming.
Easy walking
Prefer downhill walking? Take an easy path down to the gondola lift, ride up to enjoy the view, and then enjoy a leisurely walk back to where we live. In the background, you'll see the Wiriehorn, an easy climb for the more ambitious among us with good physical condition.
Sporty hiking
If you enjoy being active, you'll find plenty of opportunities for all kinds of walks and hikes. This picture was taken from Mount Wiriehorn, 1200 meters above our village, which you can see in the center of the picture below.
Isn't it an interesting place?
What do you think of the "Flueli-Wood" Hill behind our house? This mysterious little hill lies perfectly aligned with both the Wiriehorn and the Schwarzenberg, the half-rocky, half-forested peak visible in the other picture.
Travel
Arrival by air and train: All three Swiss airports – Geneva, Basel, and Zurich – are equidistant from our location. From the airport, take the train to Bern, which is about a one-hour ride. From Bern, it is a 45-minute journey to Oey-Diemtigen, where we will pick you up.
