The Floating Island: an immersive guided meditation
Cross a bridge of clouds to a green island that is yours alone, high above the world. Ride a great white bird, meet the winged stag who guards it, and send a shining seed into the night to start a tiny island.
A bridge of clouds leads you to your island, with its waterfalls and great tree. A winged white stag watches over it. Here, you are at home.
The scene
A small green island floats among the clouds. A bridge of clouds stretches out to it, soft as wool, pink and gold beneath your steps.

Who it is for, and when
Everyone needs a place of their own. The Floating Island is yours, far from demands and noise. It suits the late afternoon or early evening, since its scene moves from a low orange sun to the first stars. Its 19 minutes offer a feeling of freedom and safety, like a private sanctuary above the clouds.
How the session unfolds
A bridge of clouds, soft as wool, leads you to a small green island floating high above the world. From its edge, you see forests like moss and cities lighting up far below. You sit by a waterfall that pours into the open sky. Then a great white and gold bird flies you to the ancient tree at the island's heart. A white stag with pearl wings, its guardian, gives you a shining seed. At sunset, a whale passes beneath the island and you set down what you carried. At nightfall, you blow on the seed, and a tiny island is born among the shooting stars.
Tips to make the most of it
- Listen around sunset if you can, so the light outside matches the scene.
- When the seed comes, hold it loosely in an open palm until evening.
- Come back often: the island is meant to stay your own refuge.
As you leave
A tiny island has just been born. You walk back over the bridge of clouds, and your island glows behind you.

How do I reach the island?
On a bridge of clouds that unrolls at your feet, soft as wool yet strong enough to hold you. It folds away behind you, then returns at nightfall to take you home.
What is the seed for?
The island's guardian, a white stag with pearl wings, gives you a shining seed of the great tree. At nightfall, you blow it from your hand toward the sky or the ocean, and a tiny island is born.
Does the session end at night?
It does. Evening falls, lanterns light up in the great tree, fireflies float by and shooting stars cross the sky as you walk back over the bridge.
