Sound Meditation in the Riddagshausen Monastery Church: a special devotion for heart and senses
This sound meditation invites you to a quiet, spiritual hour in the Protestant-Lutheran Riddagshausen Monastery Church. In the sound space of the High Choir, music, text, and prayer merge into a spiritual community, opening up space for reflection, faith experience, and inner contemplation. The format is based on the tradition of Hildegard von Bingen sound meditations and leads to a religious experience full of tranquility and dignity.

A place with a great spiritual history
The St. Mary Monastery Church is one of the oldest Gothic buildings in Germany and has been a Protestant-Lutheran parish church since the Reformation. The historic site in Riddagshausen carries the atmosphere of a grown monastery, where liturgy, spirituality, and musical devotion have been coming together for centuries. Those who take a seat here experience not only a concert but a quiet encounter with Christian tradition and lived community.

Music by Hildegard von Bingen in meditative form
The Duo Scivias shapes the devotion with pieces and improvisations based on songs of Saint Hildegard von Bingen. The connection of medieval sound language, text readings, and gentle sound carpets creates a space where prayer and music merge. This connection of theology, contemplation, and sound is what makes the evening particularly appealing.

Community, devotion, and quiet participation
The event is aimed at people who seek a mindful religious experience and appreciate the power of spiritual community. Admission is free, donations are requested: This keeps the offer open for interested parties from the community, town, and surroundings. The monastery church thus opens as a place of pastoral care in the broadest sense, as a space for comfort, contemplation, and new hope.
