Sound Meditation and Devotion: Light in the Darkness in Riddagshausen
An evening of silence, listening, and spiritual community awaits visitors on September 28, 2026, at the St. Maria Riddagshausen monastery church. The sound meditation with the Duo Scivias combines Christian devotion, prayer, music, and meditative introspection into a special religious experience.
Spiritual Sounds and Spiritual Reflection
In the High Choir of the monastery church, a peaceful atmosphere unfolds, where sounds and words create space for inner gathering. Eva-Maria Karras and Hans-Dieter Karras, as Duo Scivias, perform pieces and improvisations on songs by Saint Hildegard of Bingen. Delicate sound carpets, medieval sound colors, and text readings lead into a form of meditation that connects listening and faith.
Hildegard of Bingen as a Spiritual Reference Point
The sound meditation draws on the spiritual tradition of Hildegard of Bingen. Her chants and texts focus on themes such as hope, creation, light, and humanity's relationship with God. In the liturgy of devotion, musical design, contemplative calm, and Christian spirituality combine into a faith experience for community members and interested guests.
A Special Place for Prayer and Community
The St. Maria Riddagshausen monastery church provides a dignified setting for the evening. The historic church building invites visitors to leave everyday life behind and experience the religious experience in an atmosphere of calm, reflection, and community. The Duo Scivias has been connected with sound meditations and spiritual music of the Middle Ages since 2018, creating programs with singing, bells, organ, portative, harp, and other historical sound colors.
Entry and Participation
The event begins on Monday, September 28, 2026, at 7:00 PM and is expected to end around 8:00 PM. Admission is free. The sound meditation is open to anyone who wishes to experience a reflective evening with music, prayer, and spiritual introspection.
Visitors can expect a quiet, intense, and communal devotion with meditative sounds, spiritual texts, and the unique resonance of historical church music. Those who engage with the atmosphere of the monastery church will experience an evening that opens space for hope, inner peace, and new confidence.
