Walking barefoot as healing therapy

How often do you appreciate your feet? These incredible feet support you every day. Show them some love by walking barefoot in the natural gardens of Sten Lodge. Wearing shoes constantly has made our feet sensitive. Our feet enjoy the touch of mother earth and benefit from barefoot walking.This simple act helps us reconnect with the earth, easing knee and joint pain, back pain, and even improving digestion through acupressure.

Give your feet the care they deserve.

Embrace the Healing Power of Water at Sten Lodge

Water is precious; water is healing. At Sten Lodge, we are blessed with an abundance of pure water from Mount Mbeliling. Water is essential for life, making up 60-65% of the human body. We should feel deeply connected to this vital element, but do we truly connect with ourselves? By connecting with water, we can better understand and feel in tune with our inner selves.

A wonderful way to connect to the water element is to sit in silence by a waterfall, lake, or river. Alternatively, you can take a mindful shower.

Enjoy!
