Our Services
Gümlingen (Bern)
At our home we offer individual counselling for topics such as trauma, abuse, loss, conflicts, fears etc. We are asking lot's of questions and together get revelation from the Lord how to deal with the issues that come up. We expect healing, deliverance and restoration - which often happens at the cross.
The first session helps us to get an overview of the issues. It is free. The following sessions are CHF 100.- and hour. We charge maximum for 2 hours (CHF 200.-). Often it takes longer since we want to finish the process the Lord is guiding us through.
The price is negotiable, depending on the circumstances of those coming to seek our help.
Above Lake Thun
We accompany people who are serving God at home or abroad through a few days of silence above Lake Thun: debriefing, trauma processing, alignment with God, re-equipping...
Our holiday apartment is in a quiet neighbourhood above lake Thun. It is a place of beauty inherited from Marcs’ parents. There are many pieces of art and antique furniture as well as a whirl pool on the wide terrace. However the best of our place is the view!
From the terrace you can see a range of mountains starting with the famous mountains Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau (all more than 4000m high), in the middle the Niesen and on the very right the Stockhorn. And then there is the beautiful lake right in front of this range of mountains.
We believe God’s executives deserve the best!

Introduction to solitude
In the morning we start with a liturgy, a short input and a contemplative Bible reading.

What our guests say about our service
I didn't expect so much. Revelation of God came in.
This was the best counselling I have ever had.
You were kind and bold. Really liked the real you. Could sense your hearts.
The environment and the apartment enhanced the effect.
