A weekend in St. Moritz to explore AI in your relationships.
July 23-27, 2026
AsFarAs: Embracing AI Weekend
St. Moritz, Switzerland
30 participants, curated & invite-only
Hotel Kulm
Why the topic of relationships in AI
It is happening.
AI is no longer just a tool, it’s becoming a mirror, a mediator, and something we may soon relate to as a companion for life?!
AI is already closer than a colleague, often closer than a friend. We don’t need to search for it, as we do when we try to date a new love. AI is there, 24/7. Always on. Always accessible.
Great, but…
Let’s not fall into a trap of illusion. At least be aware of how it is actually changing our relationships.
This weekend is about questions like:
How can AI help us, push our own potential to the best version of ourselves and improve the quality between humans, enriching our human relationships?
This alpine weekend is designed for hands-on exploration and reflection on the emerging ways we relate to AI.
Embracing AI: 3 ways of using AI in your relationships
We explore how AI is transforming our relationship with ourselves, with others, and with AI itself.
Relationship with Self
How does AI change how you see, understand, and relate to yourself?
Core question:
Does AI bring you closer to yourself or push you further away?
Day 1: AI as a Mirror
Relationship with Others
How does AI reshape how you connect, communicate, and collaborate with others?
Core question:
Does AI strengthen human relationships or subtly replace them?
Day 2: AI as a Mediator
Day 3: AI as an EntityRelationship with AI
What is AI to us, and what are we to it?
Core question:
What kind of relationship do we want with AI?
Why Engadin,
St. Moritz
We host Embracing AI in St. Moritz for three reasons:
A place we call home
Over the past decade, the Engadine has become the home of us and our AsFarAs retreats, a place that allows for depth, reflection, and meaningful connection.
Nature as a thinking partner
The Engadine Valley offers a rare combination of stillness and scale.
We’ll spend time hiking and biking through alpine landscapes—not as an escape, but as part of the process.
Culture
We pair this with an evening at the legendary Dracula Club during the Festival da Jazz.
Participants
We are curating 15 carefully selected pairs of people from different disciplines to explore how AI reshapes human relationship, internally, socially, and technologically.
The curation and selection will follow a ‘Noah’s Ark’ principle.
We will invite pairs from one profession—different genders, diversity is welcomed.
We will have only two representatives from each profession.
Why doing it together?
AI tends to be best experienced in a spirit of collaboration, as a kind of group sport.

The Engadin is exceptional—and unapologetically expensive.
Knowing it comes at a cost, we chose not to hide it.
The price reflects only the direct costs: accommodation, meals, and shared experiences.
Our work of shaping and guiding the retreat is not included.
What this experience is worth to you is something we don’t want to define in advance.
At the end of the retreat, you can add a contribution, or not.
No suggested amount.
No expectation.
This is how we manage to include everybody and be open about our margin.
Feel invited.
Apply, and we will send you a full, detailed program for your transparency.
