What you can experience in our Immersive Sky
Forest Bathing "Lupuna"
The immersive nature experience takes you on a journey into the heart of a natural spectacle.
It shows the wondrous relationship between two special plants - the towering kapok tree "Lupuna" and the Queen of the Night, who grows high in its branches.
Forest bathing is a conscious immersion in the forest atmosphere, in the visually stunning natural phenomenon. This unique interplay of technology, art and nature gives you a completely new form of wellbeing, of good feelings on all levels that you can experience with your senses.
The 24-minute production guides you through a visual narrative that divides a 24-hour stay in the Amazon region into 5-minute segments.
In three consecutive scenes, you will experience the forest in its most intense natural state:
Awakening: Lying here and dreaming into the sky is an open-eyed meditation that extends to what lies beyond the canopy of leaves. Your body roots itself to the forest floor as your vision tunes in to the gentle rays of sunlight filtering through the leaf canopy. The rhythm of awakening gently vies for your attention. Dawn colors the path into the tree. The kapok stands here like a beacon, a signpost to other worlds. The dance of its floating leaves also welcomes your floating.
Ascension: The sweetness of the air is not accidental, and the mist that envelops the forest chooses its purposeful, intuitive flow. The ecosystem vibrates in this way to support everything here. Ascending into the trees follows the path of these invisible connections, settling into the vapors of atmospheric rise and release.
At night, the sound of the wind brushing through the leaves is different. A slow rustling echoes with an increasingly distant rumble manifesting from the roots of the tree. It is the beating of a drum, the plucking of a guitar string, beckoning the nocturnal creatures to come forward and explore the dampness and faint light
It is also a call to you to truly see your world and understand that the world is beyond the limits of human perception and further than the limits of what the eyes can see.
Becoming: The kapok tree and the queen of the night live harmoniously in the Amazon forest. Hidden in the green depths of twilight, the seductive unveiling of the queen begins. The nuances that remain hidden during the day and in the distance come to the fore and you witness the nocturnal courtship of this flower. A splendor that unfolds only for those who are close enough to see the wondrous spectacle.
For the pollinators of the night, this dance is an esoteric invitation. The flower calls out to them to feast their eyes on it before it withdraws and withers forever.
The Queen of the Night deserves her title as the midnight flower, reigning over the sultry, eventful darkness and exuding the fragrance of her blossom even at dawn.
A perfect natural spectacle that you are so close to.
In the Immersive Sky, you can experience the vibrancy of untouched nature. Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of the rainforest with all its power and intensity.
As you float in the water, you become part of this unique atmosphere and enjoy the beauty and strength of nature - exclusively in the new Immersive Sky at Therme Euskirchen.
Creation of the Immersive Sky at Therme Euskirchen
Together with the artist collective Marshmallow Laser Feast from London & the designers from TheLoveTriangle based in Germany, a unique and breathtaking experience was created: Forest Bathing "Lupuna".
It all started with the question of what the Therme of the future will look like. As an innovation driver and leader, we work tirelessly to offer our guests optimal and future-oriented experiences. People's needs are changing and are in a state of flux. Accordingly, the Thermengruppe Josef Wund also has the courage to change and relies on the latest and most modern standards in all areas.
We not only want to set new standards, but also underpin this with a high level of commitment to improving the quality of life of our guests and the community. We create new things with innovative ideas using technologies and media that meet the needs.
After a variety of insights and research, an original idea emerged, which developed through project planning starting in March 2020 to the Immersive Sky that exists today.
Together with our strategic partner White Mirror, we set out to find the best and most qualified artists and designers in this field. With Marshmallow Laser Feast, we have an exceptional artist collective at our side, which brought a proven and outstanding partner for design into our project with The LoveTriangle.
Over many months, weeks and hours, we worked together with our partners in London to realize our vision. The result is not just an innovative wellbeing experience, but a unique and unprecedented artistic masterpiece with Forest Bathing "Lupuna". A work created through the symbiosis of state-of-the-art technologies, art & nature.
We firmly believe that with the Immersive Sky we are making a contribution to mental health care in the wellbeing sector - where immersive experiences can not only be captivating but also therapeutic.
