Dive into the impressive depths of your soul
​
A group smoking ceremony is something that is very special, something archaic. A deep feeling of security is created by the smoke of the larch pitch. Sleep is optimized. The larch is highly valued as a healing tree in South Tyrolean folk medicine. Its resin, obtained through a complex process, symbolizes renewal and change. During meditation, you consciously breathe in its energy and are more easily able to step out of the cycle of overthinking.
Another central element is the mountain juniper, which is known for its protective and disinfectant properties. It offers you protection in toxic environments and is used as incense during the experience, and again at the end of the ceremony as a gentle spray on the body.
Duration: 90 minutes
Price: 59 €/person
Procedure: Sitting or lying down, in a protected space, accompanied by soft music, my voice. The larch resin incense takes center stage.
Technique: gentle
Who for: Ideal for beginners and advanced practitioners who appreciate deep meditation and incense burning.
