THE LÉMAN ÊTRE MANIFESTO
Life is measured by places and conversations we remember.
I
The evenings that linger.
The people who change how we think.
The places that become meaningful because of who was there.
II
LÉMAN ÊTRE exists to create more of those moments.
We believe curiosity is contagious.
That a beautifully prepared meal deserves equally thoughtful company.
That ideas are best shared across a table.
That culture is something to participate in, not simply consume.
III
We gather not to escape everyday life,
but to elevate it.
IV
They are invitations—to slow down, to engage, to discover, and to belong.
V
Because the rarest luxury is not exclusivity.
It is finding yourself among people who leave you more inspired than when you arrived.
VI
We call this elevated leisure.
Not leisure as distraction.
Leisure as the space where curiosity, culture, and human connection flourish.
Where time finds its finest company.
LÉMAN ÊTRE.
Membership
A private members’ club.
Two memberships — the gatherings alone, or the gatherings and a measured year of health.
Lifestyle
The gatherings. Dinners, conversations and experiences through the year — in Zürich, and wherever else the House goes. Sometimes twelve people around one table; sometimes a talk, a yacht, a week in Spain. Small rooms, people worth meeting, and a seat at all of it.
Lifestyle & Health
Everything in Lifestyle, and a measured year. It begins with a full baseline, taken with independent physicians — blood work, gut health, diagnostics, psychological testing. A goal is set from the results, and the House accompanies the member through the year, with a review by a physician every six months, a re-test, and the goal set again.
Also kept close
Both memberships keep the circle close: three conversations a year — an investor, a mentor, a specialist. Introductions to other members. An online concierge. Partners in nine cities, across restaurants, art, fashion and lifestyle, not only health. A membership extends to spouse and children.
By application. Member terms are shared in conversation.
