Meditative pilgrimage on the Sternenweg in the autumnal southern Palatinate region
2 day stages in the footsteps of the pilgrims of St. James through autumn vineyards and chestnut forests, along medieval castles and village churches in the southern Palatinate. Starting points are the picturesque wine villages Klingenmünster and Leinsweiler (once the great impressionist Max Slevogt had his summer residence here).

Those who linger in the silence at the Cultural site Wintring Chapel can - inspired by the works of Ulrike Donié - let their gaze wander between the medieval space and nature.
The change of perspective invites us to trace the creative moments of a synergetic encounter between humans and nature in the present: Where do fruitful connections arise that make a new togetherness recognizable in a future that is not yet visible but can be felt? Synergetic encounters are a central aspect of creative renewal - art connects!

Turning War into Peace - A Call for Peace and Immediate End to the War in Ukraine
It is with great shock that we see the war in Ukraine and the suffering caused by this avoidable violence. The funding we urgently need worldwide for competent teachers, nurses, social workers and especially for climate change is being thwarted by investments in missiles, tanks and cyber weapons!
Waging wars is not a law of nature, humans invented wars, so this idea of power and resolution of conflicts is reversible. People can [collectively] consciously decide against wars as a means of conflict resolution and every single vote counts!
We call on you to raise your voice non-violently against this war and the violence and injustice associated with it! Set a sign with your possibilities - in thoughts, words, gestures and actions!
Pray [interfaith] in your own way for healing! Solidarize with the people who are directly affected by this war. Spread your message of peace in all available networks!
Peter Michael Lupp, 2020

Ulrike Donié - panel (detail)
Under the title "SYNERGIES", the artist Ulrike Donié will address the long and arduous journey of man through a nature that threatens him to a threat to nature by man at the Wintringer Chapel Cultural site from May onwards through the visual language of two opposing paintings on the west wall (panel painting) and on the east wall (tondo).
The human being has developed about 6 million years ago from a being completely integrated in the nature until today to a being completely dominating the nature. The abilities to subdue the hostile world for physical survival have led to technical and later scientific achievements which are both a curse and a blessing. The legitimate interest in using nature to secure life has turned into an environmental and climatic destruction that is existentially threatening to nature and thus to man himself, and which can hardly be stopped.... Now in the course of human development different answers have been given to the same questions. Religions, politics, secular ethics, art and science often offer different solutions to the same problems, which makes orientation difficult... (My) art is supposed to support the process of becoming aware of the present environmental situation through its own symbolic language and mode of expression, which appeals to the subconscious of the viewer and is emotionally effective. Conflicting feelings are generated.

More informationBook launch: Sound book "Being on the road under stars"
Ancient music and thoughts on pilgrimage between space and time
The sound book thematizes the myth of the paths of the pilgrims of St. James, who in their search for the way in foreign lands sometimes also oriented themselves to the Milky Way, which points in the night sky in the direction of Spain. The thoughts and texts contained in the book are intended as a musical and poetic source of inspiration for all those who set out - even in everyday life - to pause and let themselves be accompanied joyfully between the times on the path they have chosen for themselves or on which they have been called.
