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 short-term therapy in which issues can be clarified and resolved directly, using a structured method and beyond conceivable paths, through painting. Issues 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 If all problems could be solved simply by thinking, then we would have none.
Sometimes we need other ways and new experiences. LOM® Compact Start and stick with it - With the help of solution-oriented painting LOM®, we want to initiate, clarify, resolve, and appreciate an issue and, after 3 days, end the work with a new feeling, a new perspective, a new attitude, and transfer it into everyday life.

We will address your concerns together in the group. Friday 4–9 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.–7 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m.–3 p.m.

Accommodation

Many participants come from outside the area and need accommodation. There are beautiful hotels and lodgings in Münster-Wolbeck and the surrounding area, e.g. landhotel-muenster hotel-klostermann 100 meters from the Ludolf Haus studio. If you are traveling by car or bicycle, accommodation directly on the Werse river is also worthwhile.

There are many places to stay in Münster city center, and you can then take the bus or bike to Münster-Wolbeck.

Catering

During breaks, participants usually go out together to eat something nearby. Of course, you can also spend your breaks in the studio rooms and bring your own food. Around the corner, the WOLBECKER TIERGARTEN nature reserve is ideal for walks, or you can sit on a bench by the ANGEL.

First, we look at what you want to work on.

In connection with your concerns, we then develop an image task—a metaphor (it has no meaning, but can set something in motion) 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 inexperienced and experienced painters.

Since solution-focused painting is a form of therapy that aims at finding solutions, there are criteria (effective image factors) for the creation of images that support an optimal solution. The steps also involve work, annoyance, and frustration. As a painting instructor, I support the painters' abilities to address and overcome difficulties.

Arrival

Münster is easily accessible by car and train. From the train station, a bus leaves every 15-20 minutes for Münster-Wolbeck and takes you almost to the studio door in 15 minutes.
