Morning meal in a portable chair at Dermbach: a fresh concept nourishing mind and soul
In the serene parish garden of the Dermbach church community, a unique gathering took place on a recent Saturday. The event was none other than the "folding chair breakfast," a pop-up breakfast event that brings together people over homestyle food and casual conversation.
Organized by Ellen Schmuck from Dermbach and Regina Rauch from Reichenhausen, the event aimed to provide a platform for participants to think about and exchange their own perspectives on life. Ellen commented that it's normal for these perspectives to diverge and that the event aimed to show ways to find small moments of relief and joy.
The event was designed to foster conversation and introspection. Participants were given conversation prompts on cards, a designed wall image for expressing gratitude, and craft materials for co-creating a floor image. The gathering also included music, a blessing at the end, and even a song written by Regina Rauch, accompanied by Ellen Schmuck on the guitar.
The "folding chair breakfast" is more than just a casual breakfast event. It's a symbol of small, uncomplicated time-outs in everyday life, according to Ellen Schmuck. The guests brought their own folding chairs, plates, cutlery, and spreads, while the organizers provided bread, rolls, drinks, and a "miracle box" full of happy moments.
The feedback for the event was overwhelmingly positive. Guests praised the outdoor breakfast, the creative atmosphere, and the openness to conversations with a wide range of people. Many expressed their desire to participate again in future events.
The success of the Dermbach event marks the kick-off for a new meeting format that is planned to be implemented at other locations in the Rhön. The next date is scheduled for October 2025, with the location to be announced soon. The folding chair breakfast is planned to take place several times a year at changing locations in the Rhön.
Ellen Schmuck read the story "What is Life?" during the event, and the gathering concluded with a humorous bonus - participants received a "miracle box" with a clown nose and a horn. The event's two organizers summarized the experience by saying, "So as not to sink solely into work and stress."
So, if you're looking for a unique and thought-provoking experience, keep an eye out for the folding chair breakfast events in the Rhön. They're a great opportunity to connect with others, reflect on life, and find moments of joy and relief.
