Summary

Welcome to a wonderful place where, far away from many habits - in a climate that is warming and pleasant - concerns can be resolved in a targeted manner using a painting method.

When thinking no longer helps, we need something that can lead us to new, unexpected solutions.
So if you are looking for change, want to release stress and find new perspectives, need help making decisions, want to put something old to rest or put a relationship in order and much more, then you are welcome to come and paint.

Concerns can be
- old stressful stories,
- current stressful issues (including physical symptoms),
- obstructive thought patterns,
- relationship worries,
- decisions that cannot be made,
- wishes that should finally be fulfilled
- diffuse malaise,
and much more.

In connection with your concerns, we develop an image task - a metaphor (it means nothing, but can move something), or a remembered image.
The picture is then painted slowly and with great attention - with the help of criteria that support an optimal effect. Painting creates contact with the picture, which leads to further steps.
The painting tasks are also suitable for those who are not used to painting

Solution-oriented painting therapy LOM® according to Bettina Egger and Jörg Merz
Metaphors and brain-friendly images allow new, more appropriate or more helpful inner images to guide feelings and actions so that new possibilities can arise in life.

Accommodation

Depending on your wishes, you can stay alone or together with the other painters - directly by the sea or in one of the mountain villages with fantastic sea views.
I will be happy to help you find accommodation.

Catering

A snack is available during the break.

Many accommodations have fully equipped kitchens for self-catering. It is also worth enjoying the food in a wide variety of tavernas by the sea or in the mountains.

sequence

We start at 11 a.m. and paint twice a day for 2 1/4 hours, i.e. a total of 4.5 hours per day with an hour break in between.
At the beginning we record the respective concerns. Then we paint.
Even if the painting takes place together in a small group, I work with each painter individually. The paintings are not discussed in the group. At the end of each painting session, there is an exchange of experiences so that everyone can share in the processes of the other painters without commenting on them.

During the breaks, there are lovely shady and sunny spots on the large terrace with a sea view and on the grounds.

The 4th day is painting-free so that you have time to explore the area, go on excursions, spend time on the beach or just laze around.

Arrival

You organize your journey yourself. We are happy to help. The airports of Heraklion and Chania are served by many European airports. Plakias is the same distance - approx. 100 km - from both Cretan airports and can be reached by bus.
We also recommend booking a rental car directly from the airport.
