Painting Retreat with Self-Catering
There are several restaurants in the immediate vicinity, and each unit in the villa has its own kitchen. You can prepare meals there as you wish.
For breakfast, for example, you can visit a nearby bakery with a view of the sea.
They also serve vegan cappuccino there.

October 15
4:00 p.m. Arrival, welcome, and getting to know each other.
Afterward, we’ll go paint on the beach (2–3 minutes away) or in the common room with access to the garden
Please bring a seat pad or a small folding stool and a surface (e.g., made of cardboard) in A4 or A3 size.
With these items and weather-appropriate clothing (preferably a bit warmer, “layered”), you’ll be perfectly equipped for your relaxing painting retreat.
We’ll paint for about 2 hours, and you can spend the rest of the evening in complete silence—perhaps with a walk by the sea and a nice meal to round out the day.
I recommend keeping a journal throughout the entire retreat. In it, you can jot down your thoughts, ideas, “aha” moments, and so on.

Afterward, we can go together to Dahlmann’s Bazaar.
There, in addition to unique island books and beautiful postcards, you’ll find savory and sweet dishes (some vegan), cappuccino, and much more.
We’ll spend the afternoon in a cozy atmosphere. Everyone takes care of their own meals, and you might even find a book or two—or something similar—that’s just right for you.
There, we’ll wrap up the session and have time for discussion and feedback.
I’ve also planned a little surprise there.

Dahlmann’s Bazaar closes at 7:00 p.m.,
and you can then spend the rest of the evening in peace and quiet—perhaps with a walk by the sea and a nice meal.

The best way to get to Sassnitz is by train, with a transfer in Stralsund.
From there, a regional train goes directly to Sassnitz.
Or you can drive via the A20 and the B96 toward Stralsund.
Then drive across the Rügendamm Bridge onto the island of Rügen.
Continue along the B96 through Bergen until you reach Sassnitz.
Have a great trip :)
