Summary

Spend a week painting and vacationing on the beautiful south coast of Crete. Sometimes just one sentence from childhood is enough to make your whole life difficult. "You're bad." "You're stupid." "You'll never amount to anything." "You can't do anything." "You only think about yourself." "You're too quiet." 'You're too loud.' 'You're ....................... Attributions often lead to our own beliefs: 'I'm bad.' 'I'm unimportant.' 'I'm not lovable.' 'I should be different.' 'I'll never be good enough.' 'I ........
Difficult experiences can also have this effect. For example, events for which we supposedly were to blame, disturbing atmospheres in the family, and much more. They can lead to beliefs such as: 'I am to blame.' 'I am not good enough.' 'I should not show myself as I am.' 'I should never say what I think.' And much more
Such beliefs can prevent us from living up to our potential. Much of this is outdated, yet it continues to have an effect. We may know that we are not so bad, ugly, stupid, lazy, selfish, guilty, etc., but this knowledge does not resonate with us. We continue to behave as if we deserve nothing better.

This week, we will work specifically through painting (Solution-Oriented Painting Therapy LOM®) to address obstructive thought patterns in such a way that our own needs are met. Old beliefs will be acknowledged as survival strategies.

Accommodation

You can choose whether you would like to find your own accommodation—you can get help with this—or whether I should find shared accommodation with the other painters according to your preferences. There is a wide range of hotels, apartments, and vacation homes available in this area.

A small snack will be provided during the break. There is also an outdoor kitchen with a sea view. Coffee and tea are available. Many accommodations have cooking facilities. Otherwise, there is a wide selection of cafes and taverns that invite you to relax and enjoy yourself.

sequence

We work daily from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., including a break. The fourth day is free. At the beginning, we look at what each participant would like to work on and how we can tell if the work is effective. In solution-oriented painting, we work in a structured and methodical way. Method descriptions can be found on the website humanistische-kunsttherapie.

Arrival

Crete is served by direct flights from many European airports. The destination airports are Heraklion and Chania. The distance from the airports to Plakias is a good 100 kilometers. Those arriving by ferry will also land in one of the cities on the north coast of Crete. Plakias can be reached by bus via Rethymnon.

I am happy to help you plan your journey.
