Creative project design

Give your project a creative power boost in a wonderfully relaxed and stimulating atmosphere. As a long-standing project manager, I can help your project get off the ground ...

Day 1: Project pitch, I get to know you and your project.
Day 2: The big picture: Goals of the project. What do you want to achieve? Vision?
Day 3: Implementation and details: What steps and measures need to be taken for implementation?
Day 4: Concrete steps and planning.

Sailing per se is the ideal form of creative and active relaxation, because while you are moving in a naturally energetic way, your thoughts can meander at a leisurely pace without running the risk of getting lost: The ship constantly requires focus, takes you out of your ruminations and thus constantly brings a breath of fresh air into your thoughts. It changes your perspective and takes surprising turns.
Curiosity and the desire to explore new things is one of the key characteristics of Klemens Brysch, your skipper. With him, you have an experienced sparring partner on board. As a professor and course director at the Zurich University of the Arts and the Potsdam Film University, he has helped to get countless projects off the ground. But Klemens Brysch is also well versed in non-artistic contexts - you are currently sailing on one.

Klemens restored the "Black Bird" almost from scratch. He did the planning, financing and also the execution of individual construction phases himself - because it was his dream to build a ship himself one day. With success - the "Black Bird" was CE-certified by the European Marine Institute through Prof. Roko Daihalla and released as an official charter boat.

In addition to his teaching activities for stage and film, Klemens Brysch also works as an author and performer and teaches experiential education, systemic process design and personal development.

The "Black Bird" is equipped with 4 berths (1x2 and 2x1). As I offer this retreat as a concentrated project and personal development, no more than 2 people should be involved. In exceptional cases a 3rd person can be added. These sleeping places are at your disposal. Towels and bed linen are of course included in the price.
The outward reduction of everyday life usually has the effect of intensifying your view of yourself and your ideas and thoughts. For this reason, I have equipped the Black Bird with everything necessary, but have deliberately dispensed with the usual equipment of a normal charter boat. wLan - in the sense of research for our project work - is available on board, provided we are within range of the GSM radio masts.
If you prefer the comfort of a hotel room (I have also been on such trips), we can discuss this in advance and plan an appropriate route. The additional costs for overnight stays away from the ship are at your expense.

Here, too, we are completely in the flow of the process. We have the option of being served in one of the excellent restaurants on the coast, or we can prepare our own meals from local specialties in the generously equipped kitchen. Fresh fish, olive oil and Istrian truffles are at the top of my personal list of favorites.
On board there is a coffee machine, stove, grill, oven, fridge ... nothing stands in the way of a morning cappuccino in the anchor bay.

After welcoming you on board and getting to know each other for the first time, we roughly map out the journey together. In addition to your wishes, the weather forecast and the resulting choice of route are essential here. Because our top priority is your well-being and safety. We don't want to win a regatta, but rather use the active relaxation of sailing to find ourselves and our ideas.
According to this plan, we will then equip the Black Bird with the necessary food and drink and set sail or spend another evening on the Medulin promenade.
Once we are under sail, we start talking. You pitch your project, I ask questions and together we circle the topic.
Goal coaching, in which you define your personal and professional goals, can be part of the program, as can a discussion about values.
The longer we are on the road, the more intensive and concrete the project can become.
In the evening - in the bay or in a small town - we can use other methods from experiential education practice to get us "in state" and boost the ideas.
We record your results in writing - this can be done "oldschool" on paper or via tablet, drive ...
Once we arrive in Medulin, we review and round off the trip in a wonderful restaurant with a view of the sea over a well-earned glass of red wine.
Departure is the following day.
Further suggestions are day trips and hikes on the islands - also accompanied by me.

Medulin is easy to reach during the summer season via Pula Airport. It is also possible to arrive by car via Trieste/Koper. I recommend that you do not arrive and depart on a Saturday, as there is often a considerable backlog at the borders on these days. If there is no other choice and it has to be the weekend - there is a shortcut ...
Your car can be parked in the guarded marina parking lot for a small fee.

Public transportation
Buses are the only option in Istria, as the railroad is used exclusively for transporting goods. However, there is a well-developed bus network and Flixbus has Pula as a stop on its route.
