Summary

Creativity, color and vitality awaken from your calm.

Treat yourself to a special time-out on the beautiful island of Corfu.
In this special week, you will combine meditation and painting to create a path of inner development.

Leave everyday life behind you and immerse yourself in a week full of mindfulness, creativity and joie de vivre.
In the north-west of the beautiful island of Corfu - at the Ouranos Club in Agios Stefanos Avlioton - a special time-out awaits you, in which meditation, tranquillity and painting become a beneficial unity.

Various forms of meditation will accompany you in the mornings and evenings - from quiet moments to active meditations with music. They help you to center yourself, let go of the old and open yourself up to new impulses.

In the spacious studio, you can express yourself freely with colors - without pretension or judgment, simply as it flows from you. Acrylic, mixed media, intuitive painting - anything goes.

One half of the day remains free for you: relax, feel, go for a walk, swim in the sea, explore the island or simply rest.

The goal:
A week in which you recharge your batteries, feel yourself again and find joy in your creative expression or deepen it.
Let your colors awaken - and with them your vitality.

What awaits you:
- Meditations in the Ouranos Club seminar house (morning and evening mediation)
- a well-equipped painting studio with a variety of materials for acrylic and mixed-media projects for the painting sessions
- Free space: you can express yourself freely and unbound with colors
- one half of the day is free so that you can reflect and enjoy the surroundings

Every morning we start at 08:00 with a meditation to help you start the day focused and clear.
In the evening, we round off the day with another meditation. We practise various forms of meditation, from guided meditations and relaxation exercises to active meditations with music.
You can expect a daily program of around three to four hours with reflection and, of course, creative expression through painting and colors.

Say YES to your time-out on the beautiful island of Corfu - a week in which you will find your inner vitality through meditation and painting. Awakening Colours invites you to unleash your creativity, relax and feel yourself anew - full of joy, lightness and color.

What you should bring with you:
- comfortable clothing for the meditations
- blindfold

In the northwest of the beautiful, green island of Corfu, about an hour's drive from the island's airport, lies the village of Agios Stefanos Avlioton.
Here you will find everything you need: a good selection of tavernas, restaurants, bars and cafés, a long sandy beach, apartment buildings, small hotel complexes and supermarkets where you can stock up on the essentials.
My bright, well-equipped studio is centrally located in the main street. You can reach the beach from here in just under 5 minutes on foot.
At the back of the headland, nestled between olive groves, is the Ouranos Club, whose seminar house we use for the mediation sessions.

In your free time, you can explore the area on foot, for example, you can walk to the small harbor in about 25 minutes or to the back of the headland, from where you have breathtaking views back to Agios Stefanos and into the next bay of Arillas. You can also hire bicycles or e-bikes etc. in the village.
Our week takes place in the first week of May, the first week of the season. The island of Corfu is still particularly fresh and green, many plants are in bloom and it is still quiet, ideal for a meditative and creative break.
Probably not all restaurants are open yet, but there is definitely plenty to choose from

There is an exhibition of paintings inside the studio, creating a particularly inspiring, artistic atmosphere. We will paint, create and express ourselves at the large table-island. The WC can be reached via three steps. There are two parking spaces in front of the studio and the studio is equipped with air conditioning for hot days.
The studio is not barrier-free.

In any case, there is a 10-15 minute walk between the two venues and also to your accommodation.

How do I work?
I am an expressive, intuitive painter and, apart from a few courses on basic techniques, I am self-taught. I work freely and experimentally, with ease, I explore, am curious and enter into a "dialog" with the colors and the resulting picture. I am not fixed to a certain style, my works are colorful, sometimes geometric, sometimes dynamic, sometimes more realistic, sometimes more abstract.
I am also a trained coach and accompany people at eye level, respectfully and appreciatively.

Arrival

Travel is not included.
You book your journey to Corfu and the transfer from the port or airport (destination airport Corfu: CFU) to Agios Stefanos Avlioton (northwest) yourself and at your own expense.
