Sometimes life takes a turn. A farewell, a major change, an unfulfilled wish – all of these leave their mark.

At the spiritual evening “Raum für Risse” at Essen Cathedral, there’s time to explore everything related to grief, comfort, and new beginnings.

It’s an evening for your soul. Music, reflections, and prayer frame the centerpiece: a time spent at interactive stations that offer space for whatever you need right now. There’s also the opportunity to receive a personal blessing. The evening is organized by clergy and pastoral care providers from the Protestant and Catholic churches, grief counselors, the Children’s Palliative Care Network, and funeral speakers.
