The Alpine Pilot
A small gathering for families who feel something isn't fully right
We're a family ourselves, trying to rethink how and where we want to live. This is a first small gathering to explore that. Together, with children included.
Why this exists
Lately, I've been thinking a lot about what kind of life we're building as a family.
Not just where we live, but the environment our children grow up in.
The pace. The space. The kind of days they experience.
We live in the city. We work. Life functions. But something doesn't fully feel right.
And I've realized we're not the only ones feeling this.
So instead of trying to figure it out alone, we want to bring a few families together and explore it in real life.
What this is
This is a small, simple gathering for families:
No heavy structure. No packed schedule. Just enough intention to create the right environment.
3-5 families
A few days in nature
Children are part of it (not something to "manage away")
Space for real conversations about life, work, and raising kids
What this is not
- Not a polished retreat
- Not a parenting workshop
- Not a "perfect slow life" simulation
Kids will be kids.
It might be messy, noisy, and imperfect.
That's part of the point.
Who this is for
This might resonate if:
- You've thought about leaving (or changing) city life
- You want something different for your children, but it's not clear what or how
- You feel the tension between stability and a different way of living
- You'd value being around families asking similar questions
This is not about having answers.
It's about exploring the questions together.
Why families
For families, this decision is more complex.
It's not just about you:
- ·Education
- ·Work
- ·Stability
- ·Community
That's exactly why this exists.
A small step. Low commitment. A chance to feel what this could look like before making bigger decisions.
