Rauhnächte-Retreat 21.12. - 06.01. (shorter period possible)

Have you always wanted to really enjoy the Rauhnächte and take a break from your everyday life during this time?
Have you had a difficult year and would like to say goodbye to it with rituals and get in the mood for the new year?

Would you like to spend this special time in harmony with nature and reduce digital technology to a minimum for a few days in order to perceive the world around you differently again?

Let's say goodbye to the old year together. We will perform the ancient Celtic rituals of the Rauhnächte and turn the transition into the new year into a profound personal experience.
Each Rauhnacht stands for one of the months of the coming year and is received by us as such.
The opportunity to retreat here and find peace and quiet will be appreciated just as much as the exchange with like-minded people.

We start on December 21, the day of the winter solstice, and use the time until the first Rauhnacht on December 24 to prepare and tune in. (Those who can only arrive on December 25 due to Christmas will receive an introductory package by post in advance).

The cost of participation for one person is € 1,200 for the entire period from December 21 to January 6. The price includes all overnight stays in one of our rooms furnished according to literary themes (double room "Michael Ende", double room "Fairy Tales", room "Agatha Christie", room "Astrid Lindgren" - these rooms are available to individuals as well as to two people traveling together for this event, apartment "Marc-Uwe Kling", apartment "Jane Austen" - in each apartment there is a double bed and two single beds - the apartments are only available to at least two people traveling together for this event). two people traveling together) incl. breakfast, a book about the Rauhnächte incl. accompanying book, a beautiful incense burner, incense and a personal diary.

The group should remain as small as possible and not exceed 8 people (including the two of us)! This way there is a minimum of peace and relaxation everywhere - even in the kitchen. There will also be plenty of opportunities to retreat, which is particularly important for this special time of year and our project.

Enjoy our wonderfully peaceful property, which is surrounded by fields on three sides, every day. Many wild animals can be observed here, especially in winter.

Alone or together, we can perform the farewell ceremonies of the past year by burning incense or burning what has been written down.

Mindfulness exercises, group or private conversations are possible every day.
If you wish, you can of course also celebrate Christmas. You can enjoy mulled wine and Christmas cookies in our cozy bar lounge, where we also give presents on Christmas Eve.

If you are interested, please write to us directly by November 30th using the contact form on our website (you can easily find it under KULTURGUTLEBEN . de) and let us know in a few paragraphs who you are and why you would like to spend the Rauhnächte at KULTURGUTLEBEN. Please let us know your preferred room in the email - it will be deleted here if it is occupied in order to avoid double requests. Some pictures of the rooms can be viewed on our website kulturgutleben . de. Of course, places for this event are limited - we only accept 6 guests at this time. It is therefore advisable to register in good time.

We are now looking forward to a wonderful transition period together from one year to the next!

Bed linen and towels are included. Shower room in the room.

Additional meal requests can always be considered.

For the other meals, participants should bring something with them or go shopping so that they can cook together in our guest kitchen. Restaurants are also available in the surrounding area (at least 10 minutes by car).

If you can only choose a shorter period and would still like to take part, we will send you the starter package before the start.

The package includes a short introduction, several beautiful books on the Rough Nights, cards to draw for each month of the coming year, a notebook or diary for your notes on the Rough Nights, an incense bowl and incense. You will then be well equipped and can prepare yourself in peace and quiet and will need between 30 minutes and 2 hours each day for this - it depends on how much time you can or want to dedicate to the topic of letting go and saying goodbye to the past year. :) Please bring these utensils with you for your stay here so that you can continue to use them here.

If you do not have a car for the journey, we can also pick up our guests (maximum 3 at the same time) in Blankensee (Meckl) or in Neustrelitz at the train station. We ask for a flat rate of EUR 46 for the transportation service (total price for pick-up and drop-off).
