LENT – SOUL TIME:
THERAPY FASTING WITH SPIRITUAL DEEPNESS
ON-LINE
A week in August 2026 for body, mind and soul – conscious, healing, educational
In a time characterized by hectic schedules and sensory overload, this week of fasting invites you to pause and reflect. Therapeutic fasting is more than just abstaining from solid food: it cleanses the sensory channels of body and soul and can work true wonders. Not only medically (detoxification, relief), but also emotionally and spiritually.
ONLINE – Church Service
On the 1st Sunday
at 5 PM in odd-numbered months
Next date: July 5, 2026
""Come blessed – follow the path of longing – celebrate community"“
You are welcome!
Our offers personally for you:
- Spiritual guidance – well-founded, open and without dogma for your very personal search and with clarification and strengthening of your connection to the divine mystery, as it reveals itself to you.
- Preparation and execution of Farewell rituals in phases of transition during separation, divorce or severing of ties with close persons – as well as rites of passage or transition rituals.
- contemplative laying on of hands (after open hands) while sitting or lying down to activate self-healing powers and for deep relaxation
You don't have to walk your path alone.
Blessed – and to be a blessing
Further training in leading meditation groups and in personality development
September 2026
Blessing touches us where life is not smooth.
There, where we search, hope, struggle – and yet continue on.
Segen says: You are being held. You are being cared for. You are not alone.
Spiritual retreat – Fire · Earth · Water · Air
House of Silence – Week in October 2026
Catching fire, grounding oneself, being sensitive to water, bringing in fresh air… The four elements confront people daily in dreams, stories, and poems, in language and wordplay, in talk of and dialogue with the divine mystery. The Bible is full of them in narratives and parables.
Take a deep breath – Breathe deeply – Breathe again:
An Advent weekend for difficult times.
Not everyone celebrates. Not everyone wants to be loud when things get loud and festive around them.
Some people are feeling more acutely these days than usual how tired they are and how constricted they feel inside. How much they are longing for a place where they don't have to function. This weekend is for people who say: "I need a break. I need to breathe. I need silence."„
Vision quest for everyday life – Learning to live with the prayer of the heart
Annual course consisting of seven one-and-a-half-day sessions
Do you feel that you need support and a place where your longing for depth can find its place?
Then you've come to the right place. This course offers a safe space where you can be yourself, without any performance pressure. A place where you can find peace, ground yourself, be honest and unvarnished – where you can feel what truly defines and sustains you.
Burnout and resilience
ON-LINE
November 2026 – Course over 5 evenings
When functioning and optimizing are no longer enough
Burnout affects people who have carried a heavy burden and given a great deal for a long time – and who often only realize much later that they have lost themselves in the process. This is the most well-known path to exhaustion. Less well-known is that chronic inner tension, constant availability, and a lack of rest can also permanently overstimulate the nervous system – until it can no longer cope.
Burnout is not inevitable. It is a reaction of the body, calling for change.
God in everyday life: Online
On our YouTube channels "With heaven and earth“ and ""God in Everyday Life"“ We share thoughts, meditations, and inspiration on topics that concern us. Perhaps you'll find something there that inspires you—or simply piques your curiosity.
Making videos is fun for us, and you as the viewer have the freedom: you can engage with it, think further, pause, or watch the video again later.
During the Corona period, we started to publish videos regularly – about War and climate crisis, cross and queer, about questions and thoughts, that are important to us. But then everyday life set in, and the things that actually bring us joy faded into the background.
We now post videos with inspiration, meditations, and ideas at irregular intervals.
Maybe there is something there that appeals to you.

Contemplative laying on of hands according to the Open Hands School
Soothing, profound, coming from silence – a connection with the divine mystery.
This practice is soothing, profound, and stems from silence. It connects the individual with themselves and with the divine mystery.
We meet regularly in a group setting to practice and deepen this form of laying on of hands. We are part of the Open Hands School, which offers introductory and advanced courses near us.
For Dagmar, the laying on of hands has become an important part of her meditation practice. She finds it relaxing and healing—and at the same time, she can pass something on to others through the laying on of hands.
Perhaps you'd like to learn more about this method or try it out for yourself. You're cordially invited to explore our offerings.
