Where Words Take Shape

Where Words Take Shape

A weekend featuring elements of bibliodrama and spiritual constellation practice

Directed by: Bente Knoll, Ralf Dopheide, and Robert Schwarz

We’re kicking things off with something new!

In this seminar, we create a space where biblical stories, images, and words come to life—in the body, in our interactions, and through our shared process. Participants are invited to connect with ancient texts in a way that can be experienced directly: through movement, role-playing, resonance, and constellation work. We work with selected themes from biblical texts that serve as catalysts for bringing inner images and hidden dynamics to life. This gives rise to embodied experiences that can both reveal personal meaning and open up spiritual dimensions.

When: Friday, October 16, 2026, 6:00 p.m. through Sunday, October 18, 2026, until 1:00 p.m.

Where: Gasthof Flackl-Wirt, Hinterleiten 12, 2651 Reichenau/Rax, Lower Austria

Contents

We’d like to examine the following text:

“Then God blessed them, saying to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and all the animals that crawl on the earth.’” (Genesis 1:28, Bible in Just Language).

“And God blessed them and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.’” (Genesis 1:28, Luther 2017)

The key elements of the weekend are:

  • Elements of bibliodrama: role-playing, dramatic exploration, dialogic approaches
  • Spiritual Constellation Practice: Constellation and Embodiment Work, Resonance Spaces
  • Physical Mindfulness: Becoming Aware of Bodily Impulses, Internal Movements, and Gestures
  • Collaborative Process: Respectful Exchange, Reflection, Integrative Rituals

Participants can look forward to an experiential, spiritual, and creative weekend in which biblical texts are not merely explained but embodied and experienced.

Target Audience

The seminar is intended for people who:

  • feel a spiritual connection,
  • would like to explore and experience Bible stories in a new way,
  • are interested in constellation practice and symbolic process work,
  • To find a space where personal and spiritual questions can intersect.

No prior knowledge is required—all you need is a willingness to be open to new experiences.

Together, we’ll discover how words become the body, stories become experience, and how new inner paths can open up.
