An energy field for
mind, body and soul.
The family-owned
Hotel Schwarzschmied
in Lana
When the steam rises from the pool, when the porch provides shade, when the yoga session ends, when the air shimmers, when the music fades away, when the moonlight strokes design and art, when your gaze is lost in the evening glow, then you know it's not a dream. It‘s Schwarzschmied.

A Holiday Resort for Mind, Body and Soul
Alone, as a couple, as a trio... our bright rooms and suites offer enough space. We believe in the positive effect of good vibes: relax and switch off, move and rest. Pleasure and nature fuse indoors and outdoors.

As nature turns inward and the light softens, this retreat invites you to gather the growth of the past seasons and return to your center. Nestled in the serene landscape of South Tyrol, Harvest Your Fruit is an invitation to pause, reflect, and realign with your inner rhythm.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the transition from late summer to autumn is connected to the Earth and Metal elements - symbolizing grounding, integrity, and the gentle release of what is no longer needed. Taking a moment to pause and harvest the fruits of your efforts throughout the year.
Through intuitive Vinyasa, nourishing Yin Yoga, meridian-based Acupressure and Crystal Soundbaths, you’ll be guided into deeper presence. Supported by healing food, mountain air, and stillness - this is your time to root down, soften, and gather what truly sustains you.

18. - 22. October 2026
This retreat invites you to discover what truly nourishes you. Beyond daily routines, free from roles and expectations, a space opens where you can remember your physical and emotional resources, and the gentle voice that leads you back to yourself.
In the morning, we practice Ashtanga Yoga Innovation Flow – precise, clear, and creative. A practice that strengthens the body, deepens the breath, and guides the nervous system into a stable, vibrant balance. In the early evening, we turn to Vipassana meditation techniques, accompanied by delicate singing bowls that calm the mind and lead the heart into depth. Together we explore the essence of nourishment on all levels: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. In the evening sessions we reflect: What forces support me? What resources are available to me? What within me wants to be nourished so I can grow, heal, and live with strength?
Barbara Kittel-Holmgren guides you with her clear, poetic, and passionate style. Each session is infused with her interdisciplinary knowledge, weaving together bodywork, nervous system research, breath techniques, and meditation. This creates a space where movement, stillness, and insight nourish each other and allow your inner strength to unfold.
