Raunacht Retreat at the Heilhof Vulkaneifel

My clients usually find their own accommodations in the surrounding area. This is simply because everyone has different preferences. Some prefer their own apartment, while others might just want a simple room. Both options are available in the immediate vicinity.

But perhaps you’d prefer a complete package for your retreat? We also have guest rooms at our healing retreat. If available, you’re welcome to stay with us. The guest rooms are located in the adjacent building. They have their own entrance and access to the garden. You’ll share the kitchen and bathroom with your roommates. Please feel free to talk to me about this.

Meals are not included, as everyone’s needs vary greatly. You decide for yourself what’s best for you. Generally, you can prepare your own meals at your accommodations—either you have your own kitchen or at least a place to cook, or there are options that include breakfast or even an on-site restaurant. In Daun, there are large supermarkets, bars, and restaurants.

The Twelve Nights as a Journey

We begin on December 25 and journey together through the twelve Raunächte until January 6. Each night takes on its own character. Step by step, a journey unfolds:

from saying goodbye …
through reflection and purification …
to self-discovery and inner resources …
through wishes, longings, and visions …
all the way to finding your direction, a fresh start, and your own path into the new year.

The point isn’t to end up with a perfect plan for the coming year.

Perhaps something far more valuable will emerge:
A clearer sense of what truly matters to you.

Possible Schedule:
On each of the twelve days, we’ll meet for about three hours in the evening.

ARRIVAL
We leave the day behind and come together in the space.

INSPIRATION FOR EACH RAUNACHT
A story, a theme, a question, a symbol, or a small ritual opens the evening.

MINDFULNESS & AWARENESS
Through a short meditation, body awareness exercise, or other practices, we reconnect fully with ourselves.

CREATIVE TIME
We work with various materials and methods—sometimes guided, sometimes intuitive and free-form.

SHARING
Anyone who wishes to can show something, tell a story, or share their experiences with the group.

CLOSING
We let the evening wind down peacefully and perhaps take a small inspiration with us into the next night.

The exact schedule remains flexible.
Because even a Raunacht retreat needs to BREATHE.

On your own. If you’d like to explore the area a bit outside of the retreat program or head to more distant starting points for hikes or walks, we recommend traveling by car.

Traveling by train: The Gerolstein train station is 14 km away from us. From there, you can reach us by bus (advance reservation by phone required) or by taxi. If the timing works out, we can also arrange for a pickup.
