Summary

Treat yourself to a week full of mindfulness, clarity and peace - exactly what you need to leave everyday life behind and find yourself again. In the northwest of the beautiful island of Corfu, this special week gives you the opportunity to relax, find inner balance and joyfully come back to your center.
Use this valuable time to immerse yourself in the moment through meditation and creative self-expression, to feel yourself and get to know yourself even better: consciously perceive what is good for you and what nourishes your soul. Be good to yourself and treat yourself to this valuable journey back to yourself!

What awaits you:
- Meditations in the seminar house of the Ouranos Club (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
- Afternoons are free so you can explore and enjoy the area

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.
Every day from 10:45 a.m., you can expect a program of around three hours with mental exercises, reflection and, of course, creative expression through painting and colors.

The goal:
A week full of mindfulness, peace and relaxation in which you focus on yourself and come back to yourself, to your center. You will feel what is good for you and what nourishes your soul and find your own path to inner joy. Come to your center - and feel again what nourishes you.

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.

In any case, it will take about 10-15 minutes to walk between the two venues and 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

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.
