About the Event
We are thrilled to announce the 4th RISE Gathering. Each RISE Gathering possesses its own unique spirit, and this Summer Gathering in Dornbirn will be no exception.
What better location than the magical power spot of Michael and Lisa Schwendinger in Dornbirn? Surrounded by mountains and pristine nature, we come together to live in community.
This RISE Gathering spans 2 days and 2 nights, dedicated to fostering community, connecting with one another, and engaging in shared activities such as short hikes, gathering around the fire, singing, dancing, laughing, and dining. Ceremonies will also deepen our connection to ourselves and the community.
It's important to emphasize that this is a co-creative Gathering, where all participants are encouraged to contribute. We cook together, wash dishes together, experience together, and support one another.
Below, you'll find detailed information about accommodation, meals, children's activities, and other important details.

Food at the Gathering is orchestrated by our wonderful RISE member, Pierre Abrahams. Each ticket includes a hearty vegetarian and vegan breakfast/brunch, a light lunch, and an early dinner.
Given the community spirit of our event, we seek 4-5 volunteers for each meal to assist in its preparation and cooking, guided by Pierre's expertise.
Our menu predominantly features vegan fare, complemented by vegetarian options. Join us in savoring delicious meals while fostering a sense of togetherness!

Dishes / Washing
Dining utensils will not be provided onsite, please remember to bring your own water bottle, plates, cutlery, cups. Water will be readily available.
In addition to cooking together, we encourage communal dishwashing and tidying up. We're seeking 4-5 volunteers at each mealtime to assist with these tasks. Join us in creating a shared experience of collaboration at the gathering!
Children
Kids Area
Our gathering takes place at a magical nature site. For our kids there is plenty of space for fun and games - running on the meadow, hiding in the forest, climbing trees, splashing in the creek, swimming in the swimming pond, playing in a garden hut, building cairns and much more.
The road is at a safe distance and the atmosphere at the gathering is mindful, so parents can let their children pull alone without worrying.
However please accompany children who are not yet independent enough.
The responsibility always lies with the parents.
