Sacred River immersions are intimate and powerful retreats, conducted one-on-one or in small groups. They are designed to facilitate embodied shifts in awareness that often takes months, even years, in other forms of inner work. Held in uncompromising confidentiality and skilfully sealed-off contained space over several days, they cultivate a gradual dropping into thorough immersion in deep experience. Other specialist facilitators may be asked to collaborate in presenting modules of an immersion.

Testimonials
‘It took a while to bring myself to go to therapy. Then I met Fritz and now I can’t believe what I was missing out on for so long. Fritz and I have been meeting once a week, most weeks, over the past two-and-a-bit years, either in person or via Zoom. Our work together has been a game-changer for me. Then, recently we did a five-day one-on-one retreat, which he custom-designed, knowing exactly what I needed. It was invaluable. I ‘challenged him’ to do ‘part 2’ in 2025 as I enjoyed it so much! It included meditation, breath-work, alone time, cooking together, reading and deep discussions. I highly recommend anyone wondering about doing this, to take the plunge!’ – Business Owner, London, England

‘I consider myself to have been hugely fortunate in my life to have had the opportunity to learn, evolve and grow thanks to my ten or so years of therapy with our very special Fritz. Given that I am now in my seventies and have been in therapy for forty years, I feel entitled to say with confidence that Fritz was my best and most constructive experience. And I say this with deep gratitude in my heart.’ – Retired ex-business-owner, Cape Town, South Africa

Testimonials
‘I have worked with Fritz for several years. My work with him has been integral to my own journey and understanding of myself. We have worked together using many tools: imaginal therapy, I Ching, astrology, and meditation, to name a few. He has guided me towards tools that I use in my everyday life and has assisted me in developing a deep level of self-inquiry. I am grateful for the work we have done together and look forward to continuing our partnership.’ – Teacher and practitioner of Acupuncture, Lausanne, Switzerland

Testimonials
‘I was going through a deep dark time. Totally overwhelmed and struggling to overcome it. Fortunately, we were introduced. We worked together for a few weeks. I had to prepare myself for an even harder time ahead. Fritz has been 100% a blessing for me. Every meet we had helped me to rearrange my thoughts in a completely understandable and rewarding way. Our short time together prepared me to tackle the hard task ahead. Now, walking through it successfully is a tribute to someone who knows exactly how to help a person in need. Very grateful, thank you Fritz.’ – Caregiver, Cape Town, South Africa

Testimonials
‘I was referred to Fritz by a friend as I was particularly interested in Archetypal Psychology. I’ve been working with him for over two years and to this day he helped me challenge my beliefs and ideas, and delve into the soul by arousing my imaginal, symbolic and dream world. His sensitive and caring personality has always made me feel stirringly safe. Fritz‘s vast knowledge of Archetypal and Depth Psychology, Astrology and spiritual teachings has been most mind-broadening. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Fritz to anyone who wishes to go deeper into their soul-searching quest. It has been a life-changing encounter for me.’ – Retired Director of Multi-National Corporation, Chateau-d’Oex, Switzerland

Testimonials
‘I worked with Fritz for over four years and he has been a wise and compassionate guide throughout our work together. I was able to start exploring some very deep fears, to start getting in touch with the darker sides of myself and of life. His nuanced interpretation of the I Ching and Astrology really helped me see things from a much wider, more cosmic perspective. Our sessions opened me up to more poetry and mystery and depth in a way that has changed the way I live and the way I work. Thank you with all my heart.’ – Psychotherapist, Lausanne, Switzerland

Testimonials
‘I met Fritz in 2008. Until then, I had experienced therapists, counsellors and self-proclaimed ‘healers’ and ‘sages’ as skipping stones off the surface of a silent, serene lake. Fritz went deep, deeper, and deeper still. He threw in rocks, which splashed, caused echoes and disturbed the equilibrium. And he did so with profound serenity, humour, grace and humility. Over the years he helped me to forge ahead, cut through my own stories, find new meadows and crevices of my soul, and to let go the hindrances of my ego. When I’m entangled in yarns of my own making, I know Fritz can help me get disentangled. Through his listening, his reflections, the wisdom of teachers and sages he made his own; and once in a while by finding a correctly sized rock to throw in my pond.’ – Counsellor, Nyon, Switzerland
Group Immersions
Group immersions are intimate residential workshops around particular themes or aims that employ multiple tools and held over several days for groups of no more than eight participants. While we take special care to provide a safe space for relaxing into and sharing deep experiences, immersions are designed to facilitate significant psychological and spiritual transformation. Perhaps because no-one really 'likes working in groups,' group-work is so powerful. Group immersions are designed to invite one to let go, one step at a time.
One-on-one Immersions
One-on-one immersions are tailor-made for ‘where you are at’ right now. We employ tools and fields deemed fitting to your nature and to meet the work you need to do at this time. All one-on-one immersions are residential with your own spacious en-suite room at the beautiful retreat venue.
Anyone currently involved at Sacred River is eligible for one-on-one immersions once they’ve completed three or more intensive consultations. Anyone not currently working with Sacred River will be required to complete up to three intensive consultations before enrolling. This is required so we may get an adequate sense of the work we need to do.
