Novaggio, Switzerland

Summary

Knowing your roots means understanding yourself better and finding peace. But you are not just part of a long line of ancestors. Honor what came before you, and feel the deep connection to the life that flows on through you.

When the veils between the worlds grow thin, we connect with our ancestors. At the idyllic Casa Corvo in Ticino, where rolling hills, chestnut forests, and picturesque villages make time stand still, we invite you to pause and embark on a profound journey into your inner self. Fresh, lovingly prepared meals nourish you as you immerse yourself in the magic of a Ticino autumn.

Through rituals such as the Ancestral Spiral, the Fire Ritual, and the Cacao Ceremony—accompanied by meditation and transformative practices—deep healing and stillness emerge. Amid the late-autumn landscape, whether strolling along the “Sentiero delle Meraviglie” past waterfalls or along hidden trails, you can fully ground yourself in the present moment. A very special highlight is the dinner held in reverence and honor of your ancestors.

We look forward to spending time with you,
Anita & Nadja

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS:

“The memories of those days at the Jurahaus still fill me with joy. It’s simply so impressive how such a deep sense of connection and togetherness can develop in just a few hours with people who were strangers just moments before.”

“The attention to detail, the mindfulness in every moment, the two women’s big, kind hearts, and the supportive group—along with the beautiful location—were simply perfect.”

"For me, this workshop felt very harmonious. I experienced the first evening with the ancestors—over dinner and by the fire—very intensely. It was beautiful for me. During the cacao ceremony, my heart opened up and childhood memories came flooding back. Making the ointments with the various herbs and forest bathing gave the workshop a sense of grounding. Even the Leela hasn’t quite let go of me yet... The delicious food, the various scents, and, of course, the lovingly guided retreat led by the two of you will remain a very fond memory for me.”
