What is to come
The Encounter Week
July 19 – July 25, 2026 | Szakony (Hungary)
We open a period for encounter, creation, sound, and stillness
and consciously turn toward what connects, clarifies, and carries.

The themes that usually shape everyday life
— politics, religion, work, finances, illness, or scientific questions —
may, for this shared time, move more into the background.
Not out of rejection, but out of respect for those things
that rarely find space.

What remains?
A great deal.
Here there is room for wonder,
listening, dancing, laughter, singing,
shaping, and silence.

Here we may bring our gifts into expression.
Share what moves our hearts.
We can allow what wishes to grow to unfold.
When one layer becomes quieter,
another becomes more audible.

Sometimes a song, a glance, a gesture,
a cup of tea
is enough to remind us

is enough to remind us
that we are already connected.

This is where the Encounter Week culminates.
Something uplifting in music, word, image, and movement
as a shared state of presence.

With resonance.

What was
On 12 December 2025, the second meeting of the Board of Trustees of the year took place in Szombathely.
On 5 July 2025, the first meeting of the Board of Trustees of the year has be held in Szakony, Hungary,
as part of a gathering of the Foundation’s companions.
23 March 2025 - The registration of the new members of the Board of Trustees has been officially confirmed.
02 March 2025 - At the end of 2024, changes took place within our Board of Trustees.
Two trustees who had believed in the Foundation from the very beginning and were deeply involved in its work— Ms. György Sosko and Mr. Dieter Leitgeb—passed on their offices smoothly for personal reasons to
Mr. Daniel Steinmacher and Mr. Friedrich Schenk, who has assumed the role of President.
Ms. Sosko and Mr. Leitgeb have expressly stated their wish to remain connected to the Foundation in a supportive and benevolent role.
We offer our heartfelt thanks for all that they have done for the Foundation —and, in the case of Mr. Leitgeb, also for Widukind himself.
The official legal registration of the new trustees is still in progress.
However, the presentation on our website under the section “Companions” has already been updated,
as both Mr. Steinmacher and Mr. Schenk have already taken up their duties.
07 November 2024 - The next meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Widukind Foundation will take place on 13 November 2024. The meeting will be held online to enable all board members to participate.
09 July 2024 - The Widukind Foundation’s website went live today, marking the beginning of our public presence. There are still many works in progress in various areas, and we look forward to the coming weeks and months of creation and building.
June 29, 2024 — Founding gathering of the first Companions.
On 26 March 2024, the founding charter of the Widukind Foundation was signed and subsequently officially confirmed by the Hungarian authorities.
