Have you always wanted to truly 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 right mood for the new year?
Would you like to spend this special time in harmony with nature and reduce your use of digital technology to a minimum for a few days in order to perceive the world around you in a different way? Together, we will bid farewell to the old year. We will perform ancient Celtic rituals of the Rauhnächte, making the transition into the new year a profound personal experience through walks in nature and intense conversations.
Each Rauhnacht represents one of the months of the coming year and is welcomed by us as such. The opportunity to retreat here and find peace will be just as appreciated as the exchange with like-minded people. We will begin on December 21, the day of the winter solstice, and use the time until the first Rauhnacht on December 24 to prepare and get in the mood. (Those who are unable to arrive until later due to Christmas celebrations will receive a starter pack by mail 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 decorated according to literary themes (double room "Michael Ende," double room "Fairy Tales," single room "Agatha Christie," single room "Astrid Lindgren" – we offer these rooms to both individuals and two people traveling together for this event, apartment "Marc-Uwe Kling," apartment "Jane Austen" – the apartments each have one double bed and two single beds – the apartments will only be allocated to at least two people traveling together for this event). Included in the price is breakfast, at least one book about the Rauhnächte, at least one set of oracle cards about the Rauhnächte including an 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, a minimum of peace and relaxation can be maintained everywhere – including in the kitchen. It also provides plenty of opportunities for retreat, which is especially important during this special time of year and for our plans.
Enjoy our wonderfully peaceful property, surrounded on three sides by fields, every day. Here, you can observe lots of wildlife, especially in winter. Alone or together, we can perform the farewell ceremonies for the past year by burning incense or burning down written notes.
Mindfulness exercises, group discussions, or one-on-one conversations are possible every day. Those who wish to can, of course, also celebrate Christmas. In our cozy bar lounge, you can enjoy mulled wine and Christmas cookies, and there will also be a gift-giving ceremony on Christmas Eve. If you are interested, please write to us by November 30 using the contact form on our website (easily found at 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 your email – it will be deleted here if it is already occupied to avoid duplicate 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 look forward to a wonderful transition from one year to the next together! Laila & Anders
