Soaring in Switzerland

June 22 - 28, 2026

Infinite Vitality Retreats presents:

~ A Rare Reset for Body, Mind & Soul ~

for the body:

Nestled in the foothills of the Swiss alps at the apex of a vortex is the exclusive, boutique Sonnenburg Biomed Health Hotel, heralded for its innovative approach to healing and wellness.

Spearheaded by the internationally-renowned Dr Thomas Rau, this "home of biological medicine" offers careful, in-depth attention to its guests' health needs through a holistic approach.

Choose from a wide variety of (ala carte) cutting edge treatments, including:

Neural Therapy
Microscopy (blood analysis)
Light Therapy
Papimi Ion-Induction Therapy
Biological Orthomolecular Infusions (IV's)
Massage (of all kinds)
Indiba Biostimulation
And much more (see below for price list)

(Some of the treatments require seeing one of their doctors first.)

The delicious vegan, gluten-free meals are so completely satisfying while they support both cleansing and strengthening the body that after only a few days, a sense of vitality returns.

Outside, fresh air, superior spring water and the sound of distant cow bells encourages deep rest and a desire to live life to the fullest.

What better place to restore a connection to oneself and Nature?

for the mind:

Through the practices and activities of these 5 days, we will explore how each of us is an intricate part of the field known as the collective consciousness of humanity, and ways to be at our best within that matrix.

Some of the gifts we will share:

Integrating 'Lifestyle Wellness' through Nutrition & Movement
Clearing the inner landscape
Drawing on the scientific work of Lynne McTaggart: how the field operates & why we matter
How sound and geometry affect our nervous systems
Nightly Zoom discourses with speakers on Astrology, Tree Whispering, Psychic Guidance, Trauma Release and Energy Medicine.
And more...

for the spirit:

Focusing on our spiritual evolution is a rare luxury these days but incredibly important as we take our place in the landscape of huge change.

We will explore:

How Dowsing offers personal guidance & connection to the Natural world
Using the Infinity Wave to connect with land energies and Source to raise frequencies
Heart coherence and how to maintain it
Why group energy is essential now
An elevated approach to current events
Daily Channeled Meditations for raising awareness
And more...

PLUS! Optional excursions to nearby picturesque towns and hiking!

testimonials

"I returned from an Infinite Vitality Retreat in Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) which was run by Barbara Slaine and Hope Fitzgerald. I have to say I definitely feel renewed and more knowledgeable about all the toxins I have been putting into my body! This will definitely be a healthier year for me. The Love and Energy from these two women amazed me and was very infectious. I felt a shift in the weight of my heart and soul, from negativity to positivity. I will definitely be attending this retreat again."

Carolin B., ME

"This was my first spiritual retreat and I didn’t know what to expect. The trip was packed with adventure AND well organized! Hope chose beautiful, peaceful places for lodging with amazing hosts; the meals were delicious and healthy. I attributed the way the group jelled so well and easily, in part, to Hope’s no ego personality and how on the first day she set the
boundaries and focus; clear, gentle guidelines that were helpful. Hope is someone of high intelligence, integrity and love. Thank you, Hope, for creating this beautiful, unique and continually evolving experience. Your thoughtfulness and consideration, love and energy continues to shine in my internal experience beyond the retreat."

Susan F., MA

“Hope’s knowledge of the spiritual landscape of ancient energetic places made this the trip of a lifetime for me; affirming the interests I've pursued for the last 30 years but turning intellectual facts into reality. She made an impact on my life.”

Carol D., Salisbury, CT

"You have given us wonderful gifts: new dimensions in spirituality and a shift in consciousness. By doing so, you have changed our lives forever. With love & gratitude,"

C & P, Syracuse, NY

“We joined your trip with no expectations and had the experience of our lives. You created an instant bond among a group of strangers, which only grew stronger. Every day brought surprises as we grew more connected to the sacred, ancient wisdom of the Incas, until we reached the highlight of Machu Picchu! You translated this wisdom for us into a set of “tools” to carry with us forever. The Easter Island section of the trip only strengthened this, with the overwhelming beauty and magic of the place and its culture. Thank you for that invaluable gift!”

L. Bosch, Chatham, NY

“Thank you for an unforgettable trip full of love, light and service. I am still full of the magic and beauty of Peru and Easter Island and will continue to look back on all the love that I saw in these places.”

G. Namuth, Chatham, NY

“The trip to Ireland and Wales was incredibly healing as it provided many opportunities for me to feel a clearing of the old and allow space for growth. For several years my life’s purpose was working each day to keep my husband alive. This trip was the point when a shift was allowed to happen, where I was given the opportunity to take care of myself, to allow my heart to open to new experiences and allowed to feel joy. The people on this trip were so vital to my being able to allow the shift to happen. Life changing!”

Nadine H., MA

about us

Barbara Slaine

Hope Fitzgerald

Before Covid, Hope and Barbara ran successful retreats in Connecticut and the Dominican Republic. They had to abort a fully-booked excursion in Costa Rica the same week the shut down occurred in 2020.

Together again, they now offer an even wider range of experiences aimed toward providing leaps in awareness and wellness.

about Barbara

Barbara Slaine has been passionate about health and medicine since attending The Eastern School for Physician’s Assistants in her early twenties. Since that time she has been a life-long student of spirit-mind-body therapies and has obtained certifications in an array of holistic healing modalities, including Nutrition and Reiki therapy. She is the founder of the Liphe Balance Center, a community haven for assisting people on their journey to wellbeing. The center hosts reputable teachers, authors, and practitioners from around the world who share their knowledge and provide resources and insights into health.

Ms. Slaine is also the founder of MyHealingRooms.com, a public service information website offering a myriad of complimentary information on everything from stress management to music therapy, as well as inspirational books, and holistic and alternative options for people diagnosed with cancer. She is dedicated to helping people navigate life’s transitions and beyond by guiding them towards the most conscientious, safe, and effective options available. To this end, she founded the Alliance for Conscious Transitioning, which offers a certificate program in these principles.

about Hope

As a teacher and author, Hope shares the messages from the Infinity Wave, a 10th-dimensional energetic tool which presented itself in a series of visions and culminated in the form of a watery figure "8” comprised of Love and Compassion. The Wave was sent by a benevolent Universe for the tumultuous times that are upon us now. Her book The Infinity Wave: Mastering the Art of Love, Compassion & Flow outlines ways to use this energetic tool to keep us shining as the beacons we are despite the current chaos.

Hope also offers a range of esoteric skills: as an Intuitive Dowser, she helps people transform their lives with her practical spiritual coaching; as a channel, she accesses a wide variety of beings that share their wisdom, and as a group facilitator, she provides a safe container for evolutionary growth.

For 15 years, Hope has annually guided groups to potent areas worldwide, including Peru, Easter Island, South Africa, France, England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland and various U.S. western locations such as Mt Shasta, Sedona and Santa Fe. During these shamanic adventures, she teaches ways to communicate with the landscapes, believing that when the powerhouse of the human heart interacts with a highly charged site, an alchemy occurs that is guaranteed to cause a shift in consciousness.
