GUIDED PAINTING IN CRETE with Katina Kalpakidou — Self-Discovery — Exploring Your Own Qualities
Mariou, Greece
$755 / 6 Days
"If you were to be still, it would help you."
Meister Eckhart
Entering silence together. Finding a clear, calm mind. Letting go. Finding peace. Allowing inner images to emerge. Moving from silence into expression. Letting colors and shapes flow. Bringing inner images into the outer world.
Discover
...who you truly are
...what your purpose is
...where your most authentic expression lies
The retreat lasts 20 hours. Dates and times will be coordinated with participants shortly before the retreat.
Our week together takes place in the special atmosphere of our healing retreat in the Vulkaneifel. This venue offers ideal conditions, especially for people seeking peace, wishing to recharge, or wanting to express their creativity.
Consciously experiencing nature helps you step back from everyday life, organize your thoughts, and reconnect with yourself.
Art and nature complement each other here in a special way: both create spaces for perception, mindfulness, and personal growth.
With this retreat, we invite you not only to visit the Vulkaneifel, but to experience it with all your senses:
Step by step.
At your own pace.

My clients usually find their own accommodations in the surrounding area. This is simply because everyone has different preferences. Some prefer their own apartment, while others might just want a simple room. Both options are available in the immediate vicinity.
But perhaps you’d prefer a complete package for your retreat? We also have guest rooms at our healing retreat. If available, you’re welcome to stay with us. The guest rooms are located in the adjacent building. They have their own entrance and access to the garden. You’ll share the kitchen and bathroom with your roommates. Please feel free to talk to me about this.
Meals are not included, as everyone’s needs vary greatly. You decide for yourself what’s best for you. Generally, you can prepare your own meals at your accommodations—either you have your own kitchen or at least a place to cook, or there are options that include breakfast or even an on-site restaurant. In Daun, there are large supermarkets, bars, and restaurants.
The program is tailored to each individual and coordinated with the participants. The plan is for 5 days, each consisting of 4 hours—usually in the morning—though evening sessions are also scheduled.
Morning meditation makes up a large part of the program. The meditation is guided—making it well-suited for beginners as well. Following that, we move into the creative process. Materials appropriate to the content of the meditation are provided. In terms of content, the creative expression is open-ended—we paint and bring our inner images to life.
The entire morning is a time of stillness; we surrender ourselves to the meditative and artistic process. Only when all participants have completed their process do we come together for an in-depth discussion about what we’ve experienced and created.
Upon request, individual sessions can be booked separately for further exploration. If you choose to combine this with an individual retreat, the schedule will be adjusted accordingly. MeditARTE will then take place in the mornings and evenings, and your individual retreat sessions will be held at lunchtime.
On your own. If you’d like to explore the area a bit outside of the retreat program or head to more distant starting points for hikes or walks, we recommend traveling by car.
Traveling by train: The Gerolstein train station is 14 km away from us. From there, you can reach us by bus (advance reservation by phone required) or by taxi. If the timing works out, we can also arrange to pick you up.
