Introduction | 引言

Amid the verdant folds of the Alps and the rippling waters of the Rhine and Lake Walensee, a “cultural spirit” nurtured by scholars, artists, philosophers, and wellness mentors from both East and West is gracefully dancing through the Rhine Valley. This is the IAK Culture Association Switzerland, founded on the guiding principle of “West meets East, ancient meets modern”, weaving a timeless cultural dialogue.

在阿尔卑斯山的苍翠褶皱间，在莱茵河与瓦伦湖的粼粼波光里，一个由中欧学者、艺术家、哲人与养生导师共同孕育的“文化精灵”，正在莱茵河谷轻盈起舞。它的名字是——IAK文化协会（IAK Culture Association Switzerland）。以“西方遇见东方，古代遇见现代”为精神内核，IAK用丝线般的触角编织跨越时空的文明对话。

“Culture is not a museum specimen — it is a living dialogue between hearts and minds.”

「文化不是博物馆里的标本，而是心与心之间的对话。」

This cultural resonance is spearheaded by Mrs. Jian Geyang, born in Chengdu and deeply immersed in traditional Chinese philosophy. Since initiating cultural salons in Shanghai in 2002, expanding into a diverse international community in Hamburg from 2012 to 2017, and later based in Bad Ragaz, Switzerland from 2017, she has fostered monthly multicultural gatherings. In 2022, she formally established IAK as a platform uniting culture, arts, wellness, and community.

这场文化共振的发起者是简歌扬女士。她出生于成都，深谙中华哲学与文化，于2002年在上海组织文化聚会，2012–2017年在德国汉堡扩展国际社群，2017年定居瑞士巴德拉格兹（Bad Ragaz），持续每月文化沙龙。2022年，她将这些跨文化交流正式成立为IAK，成为一个融合文化、艺术、康养与社区的平台。

An Autumn Gathering | 金秋盛会

In the golden glow of early autumn, as the full moon casts its light over the tranquil waters of Lake Walensee, IAK will host its annual double celebration: the 4th IAK Life Science Forum alongside the Moon Festival. Over three days, thought leaders, scientists, cultural scholars, and wellness practitioners from around the globe will gather in the embrace of the Swiss Alps to explore the pathways to health and happiness.

在金色的初秋，当满月映照瓦伦湖的宁静水面，IAK将迎来一年一度的双重盛事：第四届IAK生命科学论坛与中秋文化节。三天时间，来自世界各地的思想领袖、科学家、文化学者与康养实践者将齐聚一堂，在阿尔卑斯山的怀抱中，共同探讨健康与幸福的奥秘。

Forum Themes | 论坛与主题

This year’s forum theme, “Health & Happiness,” covers topics from natural healing and breathwork to longevity research and balanced living. It unites science, culture, philosophy, and technology to spark fresh perspectives and offer interdisciplinary insights into sustainable well-being.

本届论坛的主题为“健康与幸福（Health & Happiness）”，议题涵盖自然疗愈、呼吸健康、长寿研究、平衡生活等内容。科学、文化、哲学与技术将在此交汇，激发新的思维火花，为全球可持续幸福生活的探索提供跨学科视角。

Cultural Celebration | 中秋文化盛宴

As dusk falls, the forum transforms into a lakeside celebration — a Moon Festival poetry gathering with osmanthus tea; fusion performances featuring guqin, piano, and guitar; tea and incense ceremonies; and a Hanfu showcase and cultural exchange evening.

傍晚时分，活动将化为一场湖畔的文化盛宴——中秋诗会与桂香茶宴；古琴、钢琴与吉他的跨界演出；茶与香道体验；以及汉服雅集与文化交流之夜。

Lakefront Experiences | 湖畔的身心体验

In the morning mist by Lake Walensee, Tai Chi sessions harmonize the body with the surrounding mountains and waters. Afternoon Alpine cultural walks offer stories of local history and nature, while evening meditation under the autumn sky brings a peaceful sense of inner calm.

在瓦伦湖畔的晨雾中，一场太极课程让身体与山水同呼吸；午后，阿尔卑斯文化漫步带领嘉宾走进当地的历史与自然故事；夜晚的冥想时光，为心灵带来一份深秋的宁静。
