Last autumn, I had the pleasure of attending the “Bestes Deutsches und Schweizerisches Motivations-Wochenende,” an unforgettable weekend retreat held in Kühlsheim, Germany, from November 15th to 17th, 2024. Organized by LC Aachen, LC Munich, and LC Zürich, the event brought together participants from various regions for a mix of motivation and themed parties.
From the moment I arrived, the welcoming atmosphere set the tone for an incredible weekend. The organizers did a fantastic job ensuring smooth logistics, from accommodation to activities, making it easy for everyone to settle in and focus on the experience.
One of the highlights of the event was the thematic parties. Friday night’s “Animal Themed Party” was a creative and fun way to break the ice, with attendees dressed as their chosen spirit animals. The variety of costumes—from lions and foxes to parrots and sheep—made for an entertaining evening filled with laughter and creativity.
Saturday night’s “Emo Party” was equally memorable. Staying true to the traditional IMW Emo theme, participants embraced dark clothing, heavy eyeliner, and nostalgic music. The effort everyone put into their makeup and outfits was remarkable, and the atmosphere was electric, blending nostalgia with a lively party mood. The beer was great, and the barkeepers were on fire on both evenings, adding to the fantastic party experience.
Beyond the parties, the weekend was filled with engaging activities that encouraged teamwork, self-reflection, and personal growth. A notable highlight was the hike on the second day, which allowed participants to enjoy nature and bond in a relaxed setting. Additionally, the kitchen team cooked excellent meals, ensuring that everyone was well-fed and energized throughout the event.
Overall, the “Bestes Deutsches und Schweizerisches Motivations-Wochenende” was an outstanding event, brilliantly organized and packed with unforgettable moments. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a mix of motivation, fun, and cultural exchange. Kudos to LC Aachen, LC Munich, and LC Zürich for making it such a success!
