Summary
Welcome to a wonderful place where, far removed from the routines of daily life—in an atmosphere that is warm and soothing—you can address your concerns through focused, methodical painting.
When thinking alone no longer helps, we need something that can lead us to new, unexpected solutions.
So if you’re looking for change, want to release stress and find new perspectives, need help making decisions, want to put something from the past to rest, or want to mend a relationship—and much more—then please come and paint.
Issues may include:
- old, burdensome stories,
- current sources of stress (including physical symptoms),
- limiting thought patterns,
- relationship concerns,
- decisions that cannot be made,
- wishes that should finally be fulfilled,
- a vague sense of unease,
and much more.
Based on your concern, we will develop a painting task—a metaphor (it doesn’t mean anything, but it can set something in motion) or a recalled image.
The image is then painted slowly and with great attention—using criteria that support optimal results. As you paint, a connection to the image develops, leading to further steps.
The image tasks are also suitable for those with no painting experience
Solution-Focused Painting Therapy LOM® according to Bettina Egger and Jörg Merz
Metaphors and brain-friendly images allow for new, more fitting, or more helpful inner images that guide feelings and actions in such a way that new possibilities in life can emerge.

Accommodation
Depending on your preference, you can stay on your own or with the other artists—right by the sea or in one of the mountain villages with fantastic ocean views.
I’m happy to help arrange accommodations.
Catering
A snack will be provided during the break.
Many accommodations have fully equipped kitchens for self-catering. It’s also worth enjoying a meal at one of the many taverns by the sea or in the mountains.
sequence
We start at 11 a.m. and paint twice a day for 2 1/4 hours each session, for a total of 4.5 hours per day, with a one-hour break in between.
We’ll start by discussing everyone’s individual goals. Then we’ll paint.
Even though we’ll be painting together in a small group, I’ll work with each participant individually. The paintings won’t be discussed as a group. At the end of each painting session, we’ll share our experiences so that everyone can learn from the other participants’ processes without commenting on them.
During the break, there are lovely shaded and sunny spots available on the large terrace with a sea view and on the property.
The fourth day is painting-free, so you have time to explore the area, go on excursions, spend time at the beach, or just relax.
Arrival
You are responsible for arranging your own travel. We are happy to assist you. Heraklion and Chania airports are served by flights from many European cities. Plakias is an equal distance—about 100 km—from both Cretan airports and can be reached by bus.
We also recommend renting a car directly at the airport.
