Creating a Better World Through Travel
The world is changing. It’s time for conscious evolution in travel and tourism. We’re using this moment as a launchpad to something completely different, a transformation economy, and encouraging a mindset, approach, and model that measures success based on more holistic, conscious, and virtuous outcomes. We believe meaningful travel starts from the inside out – and that is where we’ve fallen short, with travel often reinforcing existing boundaries, worldviews, and practices, rather than stretching and illuminating them. The deep impacts of such personal transformations create ripples of impact felt by all. Travel joins other catalysts for personal transformation and new lifestyle choices, from family and relationships to life events, personal health, etc. To be further explored, travel can be catalytic in a handful of areas: relationships, ecological footprint, consumer and travel choices, social purpose and philanthropic commitments, lifestyle and time management choices, and mindful, contemplative practice.
SilberQuarzit Rituals for the home
Source of power
Create your own SilberQuarzit home ritual.
Let your intuition guide you, use practices you already know. In this way you can combine the power elements with cherished breathing and meditation exercises or visualization techniques. Provided you have enough time for this. Otherwise, I recommend to let the power source flow into your daily routine in a very uncomplicated way.
This is very easy, because in my opinion, rituals should be flexibly applicable – for example in the shower, while brushing your teeth or on the way to work. During all these everyday moments you can use your new power element to concentrate on the biggest goals of the day.
The more often you integrate this new source of power into your everyday life, the more it becomes your “memory” anchor. This is accompanied by all sorts of health-promoting habits, such as rinking at least two liters of water, taking deep abdominal breathing regularly, consciously choosing healthy food, or making at least one cold shower every day.
I would be happy to advise you personally for your very private liberation ritual at home, or help you organize a trip to experience a SilberQuarzit Experience. Share your wishes with me and I will support you with all my heart in your next big step.

„I have recently had the immense pleasure to enjoy a SilberQuarzit Experience designed by the visionary wellbeing-entrepreneur Kornelia Schwitzer in the context of a private luxury retreat nested in a secluded part of the South Tyrolean mountains. The experience itself could be described as a sequence of well thought-through sensual and spiritual wellbeing elements, including high-quality oils, healing crystals and customised mantras to name a few, that draw on ancient local wisdom and natural remedies. The overall event felt very contemporary and ancient at the same time – a truly unique experience. Highly recommend it!“
Nov 2, 2021 Forbes, Shivani Vora
“Kornelia Schwitzer, founder and CEO of SilberQuarzit, has been working in the wellness industry for over 20 years and developed silberquarzit, a multi-hour experience that’s the most unique treatment I’ve ever had—- and believe me, I’ve tried my fair share. Your session with Kornelia begins with her asking your goals when it comes to your mental and physical health. Perhaps you want to sleep better or have personal distress that you’d like to let go of. You relax with incense, and then she works her magic using quartz stones that she finds in the quarry near where she lives. Get ready to experience muscular or emotional reflexes as the quartz interacts with your body. The more intense they are, according to Kornelia, the more likely it is that you’re getting rid of all the blockages holding you back. This is healing done to another level.”
Caught by soft clouds
“I would like to share my personal impression and feelings which I experienced through the SilberQuarzit Experience with you. The Experience was performed by my dear friend Kornelia Schwitzer.
I am an open-minded and happy girl. Due to the pressure and perfection of the outside world, I often cannot manage to let go of my inner critic and fears or show them towards the outside world.
By working with guests and other people in the hotel, I constantly have to radiate strength and self-confidence. Besides good feedback I often have to manage with negative feedback as well as having to solve daily hurdles and problems.
After a long time, I was finally able to let go of these pent-up and often suppressed emotions and feelings through the intensive and deeply relaxing ritual. The treatment helped me to show my inner soft sides without shame and to cleanse my body and mind from negative emotions.
During the SilberQuarzit Experience I felt safe and protected, as if held by two soft clouds.
The treatment helped me release blockages caused not only by stress and pressure, but also by sport, fitness sessions and my joyful daily yoga practice. Kornelia “listened” to me and my body through the impressive combination of the silver quartzite rock, essences and oils as well as pleasant incenses. The result was impressive: the worldly and strong “I” in my head united with the tender, soft and emotional “I” in my heart. Absolute peace and contentment spread through me. This feeling of security and purity had a positive effect on my everyday life for weeks afterwards.
From the bottom of my heart I would really recommend a SilberQuarzit Experience to anyone who feels similar as me, or to anyone who needs a short, deeply relaxing and purifying time-out.”

Personal growth
“I am constantly looking for ways to improve the guest experience in the upscale hospitality industry. For me, this is not just about the experience itself, but also about other things such as logistics, user experience, empowerment of employees and of course, most important, improving the wellbeing of our most valued guests. In this time of constant uncertainty, it is a great challenge for all of us to keep body, mind and spirit in balance and the SilberQuarzit Experience is one of those holistic treatments that gives you the opportunity to regain your centre and regenerate quickly. Not only does the result feel like hitting a reset button, but growth happens within you, and that’s the most important thing in my opinion – It’s like you come out of the Experience as a better version of yourself. It’s definitely a great experience, so you better try it for yourself.”

Enthusiasm
“I grew up in the same valley as Kornelia and I’ve known her since childhood. I enthusiastically followed her development and the evolution of the SilberQuarzit stone massage into the SilberQuarzit Experience. As a former professional athlete in the Ski World Cup, I know how important it is to repeatedly release one’s own blockages and to work on yourself (outside and inside). Kornelia gave me the opportunity to be there at the very beginning of her project and to try out the massage. The feeling of lightness and unique deep relaxation has stayed with me for a long time. Recently I was lucky enough to try out the new SilberQuarzit Experience again at the Hotel Cyprianerhof in Tiers at the bottom of the Dolomiti RoseGarden mountain range.
It was marvellous! I would have never thought that it was possible that the “here and now” could disappear all at once and that I could fall into such a state of relaxation in a short time. My subconscious and my body reacted strongly and the statements of the SilberQuarzit expert after the treatment reflected my current situation and my current life and thinking exactly and very precisely.
I can only say that it is a new kind of enthusiasm that the intense reactions and inner forces evoked during these treatments.
Dear Kornelia, thank you very much for allowing me to experience this feeling of lightness again and again and for not standing still and always being on the lookout for improvement, new things and further development.!

Relaxation
“I am happy to offer personal feedback on my experience with SilberQuarzit, which I was able to receive personally through its founder Kornelia Schwitzer, in the beautiful surroundings of the Charmehotel Friedrich in the valley Eggen in South Tyrol. I am aware that it is often in our own hands to face the challenges of life in peace and serenity. Most of the time, however, blockades prevent us from breaking through correspondingly entrenched patterns that are directed by our subconscious. The Silver Quartzite Experience is a possibility to recognize the subconscious patterns and to transform them accordingly. The application by Kornelia was completely magical for me, as she succeeded in putting me into a state of maximum relaxation, which is not easy. My sense of space and time seemed to disappear and at the same time I was completely present. During the treatment, my body showed Kornelia certain reactions which she knew how to interpret accordingly. Afterwards she made some amazingly precise statements about these reactions, which exactly matched my life. I received clear information on how and by what means I should integrate daily rituals into my everyday life in the following time in order to release the obstructing blocks. My conclusion – I am completely enthusiastic, an experience of a special kind with a lasting and transforming effect.”

Emotions
“I have known Kornelia Schwitzer for many years. I have been following the development of her heart project for at least as long. My enthusiasm started years ago with my first SilberQuarzit treatment. Deep feelings and insights came to the surface that I had not thought possible. Ignoring them was impossible from then on and that was just the right thing for me at that time.
Kornelia has developed the treatment and turned it into a completely new SilberQuarzit Experience. You really have to experience it to feel this source of power, this elemental force that lets you discover your own personal potential. Potentials you never imagined to have in the first place. Kornelia perceives puts every reaction into writing for later. What was previously impossible for me: It is no longer the thoughts that guide me, as it was when I first met SilberQuarzit, but it is the emotions and reactions of the body that “speak” to me. Kornelia Schwitzer says: “Every Silver SilberQuarzit is different, as are personal lives and periods of time.” You can feel her sensitivity throughout the application, her calling to “help people move forward on their path”. The personal action plan she created for me helped me further activate the self-healing powers. I am already looking forward to the next time when Kornelia gives me a bit more insight “into my unconsciousness”. Thank you Kornelia for all these wonderful experiences around the elemental power of silver quartzite.”

Depth
“You could feel the enthusiasm, love and passion behind Kornelia and what she does throughout the ritual. It was an extremely valuable, unique experience for me. Kornelia asked me afterwards about an area where she felt a strong reaction during the treatment. The exciting thing was that I had also felt this reaction. This ritual goes really deep.”
Thank you from the bottom of my heart💛

“Eine Experience, die einen Ausweg aus diesem Hamsterrad verspricht, lerne ich im Charmingplace Charmehotel Friedrich kennen. Schon mehrere Freund*innen aus Südtirol hatten mir von diesem außergewöhnlichen Erlebnis berichtet. Während eines Besuchs im Eggental habe ich endlich die Gelegenheit!
Kornelia Schwitzer, die Erfinderin und Gründerin der SilberQuarzit Experiences ist höchstpersönlich ins Hotel gekommen, um die Anwendung mit mir durchzuführen.
Vor mir sitzt eine charismatische Persönlichkeit, die mich mit einem herzlichen Lächeln anstrahlt. Sie erklärt mir das Ritual und ich erfahre, dass es ganz individuell auf mich eingestellt sein wird, um eine möglichst effiziente Wirkung zu erzielen. Dafür stellt sie mir gezielte Fragen….”

“Questa pietra primordiale ha un effetto liberatorio: allontana ogni negatività, favorisce il benessere psicofisico e permette di riconnettersi con se stessi.
Capita a tutti, di tanto in tanto, di sentirsi stressati e avere pensieri e preoccupazioni che riempiono la testa e ostacolano il sonno. Senza il giusto riposo però, ci si sente scarichi. Per fare il pieno di energia bisogna ritagliarsi un momento tutto per sé e cercare rifugio in oasi di pace dove staccare la spina e disconnettersi dal mondo esterno. Sono in molti ad appellarsi ai poteri della natura che, con i suoi profumi, colori e suoni ha un effetto riequilibrante e rilassante per corpo e mente. All’interno della Naturellness®Spa del Naturhotel Lüsnerhof ad esempio, immersa ai piedi delle Dolomiti, gli ospiti possono sperimentare trattamenti legati alla tradizione alpina. Tra i protagonisti figura la quarzite argentea – Silberquarzit – una pietra primordiale estratta esclusivamente in Alto Adige che, dato l’elevato contenuto di quarzo, è rinomata per il suo effetto energetico, detossinante e antinfiammatorio. Permette infatti di rilasciare blocchi sia fisici che mentali, ricostruire la propria forza, risvegliare i sensi e rigenerarsi.”
QUALITY PRODUCTS
In tune with Nature
For this aspect, SilberQuarzit® has chosen not to follow the rhythm of the mass-market, not being able to accept its speed and lack of ethics. We rely on the availability of the wild resources in the Val di Vizze. As a result, some products may not be available at all times.
The Seven Planets and the Four Elements
All products have all been conceived according to the “Doctrine of Signatures”, the theories of Paracelsus and considering the power of the Seven Planets (Sun, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Mercury). According to the Doctrine, planets transmit their subtle vibrations to plants, metals and precious stones.
The Four Elements Theory is the other important source of inspiration for the design of our products. When combined and used in the right way, they can activate Quintessence, the life force of the universe, and self-healing powers.
You, at the centre of everything
Our products support you during self-optimization processes, to learn how to focus on yourself.
Paracelsus was convinced that in nature there are healing forces called “Arcana”.
They are, according to him, the key to activate one’s “inner alchemist” and to ignite one’s self-healing powers.
Packaging
All products are packaged with combed sheep’s wool.
This precious fabric can be reused for chest wraps or reworked in other shapes.
