option to offer donation-based Community Classes at no cost.
special rates for renting the studios for extra workshops or events

co-creating and being an essential part of our conscious community

Teaching at Soul Studio Zug

A passion for creating a nourishing space where people can connect to themselves and to others.
Taking care of our little studio as if it were your own. Being responsible
Stamina to build up a class. It takes time and dedication. But remember: no matter how many students show up in the beginning, you are making a difference. What you teach is pure medicine for our times.
A verification that you are registered in Switzerland as a freelance Teacher (that is normally that you are registered with the SVA of the canton you live in) if you make more than 2’000chf a year with teaching.
Open, honest & swift communication with the core team of the Soul Studio, being Désirée, Deddou and Ursi. You can always reach us here: soulstudiozug@gmail.com

How to take care of the Studio space

We celebrate being mindful, respectful and taking care of things and one another.

We therefore ask you to take care of the Soul Studio as if it was your own. And in a way it is.

You are a vital part of our community. Your presence, energy and essence shapes this room and the people who come in contact with it.

Please find any cleaning products in the “pink” cupboard and the vacuum cleaner & Swifer in the open cupboard.

How to get in

1 - Main Door: Press “Speck” and “Hess” at the same time. The door will automatically unlock.

2 - There is a key box on the 5th floor in the hallway. To unlock the code is: 4625

Unlock the main door, place the wooden door stopper in and place the key back in its box. Like this you can not look yourself out (which can be an issue).

3 - Find the key for the studio door in the wooden chest. It has a yellow ribbon.

4 - There are 2 keys in the studio to open the cupboards outside the studio. The pink key opens the cupboard in the middle with tea, tea kettle, cups, cleaning material. The brown key opens the cupboard on the left with all the props in it.

Roles within the Soul Studio Team
