Carried Through the Vast Space – The Heavenly Swing in St. Thomas Church
Lie in a swing and float slowly through the church interior on 12-meter-long ropes: a gentle up-and-down motion, more like a cradle than a swing. A sense of vast space and being securely held; being in motion while experiencing deep tranquility. Being completely to yourself, yet not alone—in this swing, someone else provides the momentum. The “Heavenly Swing” in St. Thomas Church is one of a kind and a special experience. Take your time—swinging in church isn’t something you rush through!
