Back in the womb of Mother Earth
The sweat lodge, also called Temazcal, is one of the oldest ceremonies in the world.
Since Stone Ages, it has served as a place of purification, reflection, and reconnection with life. The hut—a warm, humid, and dark space built like an igloo—represents the womb of Mother Earth. Here we enter to leave everything behind, connect with our souls, and honor the cardinal directions and elements. It is a prayer for ourselves, for our families, and for life itself.
This sacred space embraces you warmly and maternally. It offers support during transformative processes, allowing us to shed old layers, realign ourselves, and celebrate life – until we feel reborn. The knowledge of this practice has been preserved and passed down through generations by the indigenous peoples of North and Latin America.
Inside the sweat lodge, darkness, the glow of the molten stones, the scent of herbs, the steam, the sounds of drums and chants, as well as silence, combine to create a deeply moving atmosphere. Here, the old can be released and space can be created for new insights. The sweat lodge cleanses body, mind, and soul and bestows new strength.
It is particularly important to me to make the ceremony accessible and understandable for everyone. I translate many songs, originally sung in Spanish, into German and have also written my own, so that their meaning becomes tangible and clear. I work with the medicine wheel and the elements, aligning the sweat lodge accordingly and connecting with the energies of this place. Because my roots are in Switzerland, I invoke the local animal spirits so that the energy of the local nature can flow into the ritual. The sweat lodge is especially dear to me and has been a part of my life for over 14 years. I have learned through years of personal experience and now follow the traditions of the Moon Dance. One of my greatest inspirations and teachers is Simone Pfluger from Solothurn, where I have had the privilege of gaining most of my sweat lodge experience.
I am happy to welcome you to the womb of Mother Earth.
