The Tradition
An ancient European ritual, stretching from December 21st, the Winter Solstice, to January 6th, Epiphany.
These sacred nights offer a pause — a bridge between the old and the new. A time to reflect, dream, and set intentions for the year ahead.
Listen to your intuition.
Or think of it as a strategy meeting with yourself.
These nights invite stillness.
To step away from the noise and ask:
Where do I come from?
Where am I going?
How can I stay true to myself?
Without a clear direction, we often follow the goals of others. Rituals like the Rauhnächte help us reconnect to what truly matters. They anchor us in our values and offer clarity on the path ahead.
More than tradition, the Rauhnächte are a moment of gratitude for the past, a chance to release what no longer serves, and an invitation to find courage to pursue your purpose in the year to come.
The community
Rituals become truly transformative when shared.
Over the past four years, 380 people from 30 countries and 6 continents have joined this ritual. A global community, diverse yet connected by the desire for clarity and reflection.
But the real magic happens in the relationships closest to us.
Invite your loved ones — family, friends, or partner — to join you. Each day offers a moment of reflection, burning a wish together, creating space for connection.
Talk about the year that’s passed, share your highs and lows, and listen deeply to one another. Through this, the ritual becomes more than just a tradition; it becomes a way to strengthen your bonds and foster a deeper sense of belonging.
All accompanied by humans all around the world. Join the live calls to meet each other and be guided through this transformative time of the year.
Wherever you are in the world, you’re welcome to create your own ritual, alongside your circle of people.

12 Audio Recordings
Closing your eyes as you see yourself
Each night, receive a short voice message on your phone via WhatsApp. These recordings walk you through moments of reflection and vision. A supportive soundscape helps you to explore new aspects of you. They might evoke emotion that you could not access through writing. They’re designed to ground you, challenge you, and expand your thinking.
Methods might feel similar to body-mind centering, embodiment & meditation. But hear yourself!
