When October bathes the world in warm light and nature slowly withdraws, this retreat invites you to do the same. It is a space where you can sink into a protective cocoon, gather strength, let go, and reconnect with yourself. A space where you breathe deeply, come to rest, and sense what within you is ready to shine.
In the quiet and aesthetic ambience of Hotel Schwarzschmied in Lana, a place naturally infused with calm comes to life. Nestled between vineyards, orchards, and the soft panorama of the South Tyrolean mountains, the hotel feels like a world of its own. Warm steam rises from the pool, golden light touches art and architecture, and the rooms made of natural materials and light wood carry a serenity you feel immediately. The slow-food cuisine, the spa, and the clear, understated design support you in softening, arriving in your body, and unwinding.
The mornings belong to a gentle yet powerful practice that grounds and strengthens you. Movement and breath guide you back to your center, giving you presence and clarity. The evenings open a soft space of Yin Yoga, gentle Reiki, sound, and journaling. Here you may sink, feel, and relax into stillness.
The highlight of this retreat is The Cocoon Night on Wednesday evening. We gather for a cacao ceremony that gently touches your heart space, accompanied by a guided heart journey and journaling prompts. Afterwards, we meet around the fire, where you can release - through a quiet ritual - what no longer belongs to the coming season. It is an evening filled with warmth, connection, and inner radiance - a moment of clarity and a return to yourself.
On the final morning, we close the space with a soft closing practice and a small closing circle. You leave with a sense of peace, spaciousness, and renewed strength.
