A special experience of faith in the Thomaskirche
The Sky Swing in the Thomaskirche invites you to a quiet, uplifting moment in the church space. Those who lie here experience swinging, expansiveness, and tranquility as a spiritual experience – a faith experience that gently connects body and soul.
Swinging as a sign of trust
The Sky Swing is more than an extraordinary element in the church space. It opens a protected space for reflection, letting go, and safety. In the movement, a subtle form of meditation arises that gives room to thoughts while simultaneously providing a sense of support.
Open church, open community
The Thomaskirche sees itself as an inviting place for people from the neighborhood, for families, children, adults, and all who seek a moment of silence. The Thomas Center connects the church, café, daycare, and nursing home into a vibrant meeting place where spiritual community and everyday relevance come together.
Part of the framework program around palliative medicine and hospice work
This event is part of the public program on the occasion of the 16th Palliative Congress in Freiburg. The offering is complemented by an exhibition about Cicely Saunders, the founder of the hospice movement. Thus, this event uniquely connects religious experience, pastoral care, mindfulness, and social responsibility.
Well prepared for the Sky Swing
No registration is required for individuals. Groups of five or more should announce their visit via email to avoid waiting times. The swing accommodates one adult or two closely lying adults up to 150 kilograms, as well as parents with child(ren). A cafeteria with tea, coffee, and seating enhances the stay.
Conclusion: Experience a quiet, intense moment live
Those who visit the Sky Swing in the Thomaskirche experience the church as a place of calm, closeness, and trust. This special form of swinging offers an impressive approach to spirituality and community. A visit is worthwhile for anyone wanting to experience faith with all their senses.
