Summary

When thinking no longer helps, we need something that can lead us to new, unexpected experiences and solutions. Solution-oriented painting LOM® is a form of therapy in which concerns can be clarified and resolved directly, using a structured method and beyond conceivable paths, through painting. Concerns can include:
- old stressful experiences and memories - current stressful issues (including physical symptoms) - obstructive thought patterns, old attributions, strong feelings - relationship concerns and clarifications - decisions that are difficult to make - wishes, dreams, abilities - diffuse discomfort and much more

Bettina Egger: LOM® Solution-Oriented Painting is an art therapy method that involves replacing (disturbing) images in the brain with undisturbed ones. The images are selected in relation to specific issues before painting and then painted in their perceived or simplest form. The aim is to create a new, neutral impression.
Metaphors and brain-friendly images allow for new, more appropriate, or more helpful inner images that control feelings and actions in such a way that new possibilities can arise in life. In connection with your concern, we develop an image task—a metaphor (it means nothing, but it can move something) or a remembered image.
The image is then painted slowly and with devoted attention. While painting, contact with the image is established, which leads to further steps. The image tasks are suitable for both beginners and experienced painters. We do not work with interpretations, illustrations, symbols, or meanings.

Ludolf Haus 02506 3058400 ferienwohnung-van-der-pijl 50 meters from the studio and airbnb ... unique accommodations from local hosts If you have a car or bicycle, accommodations directly on the Werse river are also worthwhile.

Catering

There is an hour-long break in between, during which the painters either go out to eat together or individually, or stay in the studio.

sequence

We paint from Friday to Monday, 1:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., with an hour break. We start with a short discussion and end with a short discussion. The paintings are not discussed, but there is an opportunity to talk about the experiences we have had.

Accompanied painting requires an external framework to protect the painting process. For example, no one talks about other people's paintings. This allows all painters to embark on their own journey. As a painting instructor, I work with the painter during the painting process so that old and obstructive patterns can be identified and choices can be discovered.

Arrival

Münster is easily accessible by train and car. The studio is located in the beautiful district of Wolbeck, right in the center of town—quiet and central. There is a bus to Wolbeck at least every 20 minutes, which takes about 15-20 minutes and drops you off almost at the studio door.
On weekends, the buses run differently – twice an hour to/from Wolbecker Markt and once to/from Sültemeyer.

Bus lines from Münster Central Station: R32, R22 to the Sültemeyer stop (fastest connection) and 8, N85 to the Wolbecker Markt stop. From Hiltrup station, bus line 18 goes to Wolbecker Markt. There are also bicycle stations. Münster has bike paths almost everywhere.
