Rauhnights: A contemplative journey between ritual and new beginnings
As the days grow shorter and the winter silence creates space for inner reflection, the Rauhnights offer a unique perspective on transitions, wishes, and personal renewal. Ina Bhatter invites you to an atmospheric evening in Mannheim that connects literature, spirituality, and centuries-old winter rituals.
A story about faith, doubt, and change
At the center of this story is Luise, a young doctor who has lost faith in herself after a tragic event. While spending the Christmas holidays and New Year’s Eve in an apartment by the sea, she encounters the Rauhnights and the celebration of old winter rituals. What she initially views with skepticism as a woman of science opens her eyes to a new perspective on life.
The Rauhnights as a time of reflection
The Rauhnights are regarded in many European traditions as a special transitional time between the years. Rituals, prayers, incense, and personal wishes merge with the spiritual experience of farewell and new beginnings. The evening offers an opportunity to learn about these customs from a literary and personal perspective.
Reading and Mini-Workshop with Ina Bhatter
Ina Bhatter will read atmospheric passages from her book Rauhnights and discuss the rituals surrounding this magical time. A mini-workshop will focus on the preparation of 13 wishes. This will create a calm, unhurried atmosphere where visitors can gather their own thoughts and engage with the symbolic power of the year's turning.
Community religious experience in Mannheim
The event is aimed at people interested in spirituality, folk customs, literature, and personal meaning-seeking. In the shared act of listening, reflecting, and exchanging ideas, a faith experience emerges beyond rigid boundaries. The reading invites participants to reconsider familiar traditions and consciously acknowledge their own religious experiences.
Look forward to a contemplative evening filled with literature, rituals, and inspiring thoughts on change, hope, and inner strength. Experience Rauhnights live with Ina Bhatter at Thalia Mannheim Planken and discover the special atmosphere of the time between the years.
