What counts in life? What expeÂriÂenÂces are we looÂking for and how do we build our own stoÂry?
SomeÂtiÂmes it takes encounÂters with peoÂpÂle who take a difÂfeÂrent path to remind us that not everÂyÂthing can be meaÂsuÂred in numÂbers. The sinn\salon creaÂtes a space for stoÂries, quesÂtiÂons and exchange.
sinn\salon – a forÂmat from the workÂshop of HEINEKOMM founÂder BarÂbaÂra HeiÂne.
sense\salon #2
The sinn\salon #2 took place on July 12, 2025.
This time, five WELTREPORTER.NET corÂreÂspondÂents from France, ItaÂly, the USA, ArgenÂtiÂna and New ZeaÂland reporÂted on fashion, HolÂlyÂwood, reliÂgiÂon, spiÂriÂtuÂal comÂmuÂniÂties and the cult of preÂsiÂdents such as Trump and Milei in BarÂbaÂra HeiÂne’s sinn\salon – real, conÂtemÂpoÂraÂry cult trips.
A uniÂque opporÂtuÂniÂty to see more than just the beauÂtiful surÂfaces, as our tour guiÂdes were five jourÂnaÂlists from WELTREPORTER.NET who reseÂarch the hotÂspots of gloÂbal cult phenomena.
TogÂeÂther with them, we exploÂred the psyÂchoÂloÂgiÂcal, culÂtuÂral and social mechaÂnisms that capÂtiÂvaÂte peoÂpÂle around the world. What helps, what is hype – and what is threaÂtening, desÂtrucÂtiÂve or even criminal?
sense\salon #1
Sinn\salon #1 with the sailÂor, psyÂchoÂloÂgist and lightÂhouse keeÂper ThoÂmas BickÂhardt had his preÂmièÂre on May 16, 2025.
After a life as a sailÂor and a degree in psyÂchoÂloÂgy, ThoÂmas BickÂhardt set off from HamÂburg 30 years ago in a VW bus and made the remoÂte and dilaÂpiÂdaÂted KrÃ¥keÂnes Fyr lightÂhouse on NorÂway’s storÂmy west coast his home more than a thousand kiloÂmeÂters furÂther north.
In the first sinn\salon, ThoÂmas BickÂhardt shared his expeÂriÂenÂces: About arriÂving in NorÂway, the best color for painÂting the exteÂriÂor of the weaÂtheÂred lightÂhouse, about the raging hurÂriÂcaÂnes and about unbeÂlieÂvaÂble silence.
