We begin the day stepping into the forests above Einsiedeln, where the many paths through the woods mirror the decisions, every founder eventually faces. Some routes are clear and well walked, others faint and uncertain. As we wander between them, we reflect on how we choose our direction: when to stay the course, when to pivot, and how to navigate obstacles that inevitably appear along the way. In conversation and quiet reflection, the forest becomes a space where questions about our ventures and our personal journeys unfold naturally.

At midday we gather around a simple fire and prepare a warm meal together. Cooking and eating outdoors slows everything down. What grows well in nature rarely grows in a rush – and the same is often true for meaningful ventures and the lives behind them.

In the afternoon, our focus shifts to the small and often overlooked. Guided by an experienced forager, we explore the plants and herbs that grow quietly around us. Learning to recognise them sharpens our awareness: what appears insignificant at first glance may carry surprising value. As we discover edible plants and gather ingredients, it becomes clear – the seeds we plant today shape the harvest we experience later.

Together we prepare a simple meal using what we have found and end the day in relaxed conversation. Looking out over forests, mountains and lake, we reflect on the paths we are choosing and the seeds we want to nurture in the months ahead – before returning to our ventures with fresh clarity and renewed entrepreneurial spirit.
