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 issues can be clarified and resolved directly, using a structured method and beyond any conceivable paths.

Concerns can be
- old stressful experiences and memories
- current stressful issues (including physical symptoms)
- Obstructive thought patterns, old attributions, strong feelings
- Relationship worries and clarifications
- Decisions that are difficult to make
- Wishes, dreams, abilities
- Diffuse malaise
and much more

Bettina Egger: LOM® solution-oriented painting is an art therapy method that involves replacing (...) (disturbing) things with disturbance-free images in the brain. The images are selected in relation to specific concerns before painting and then painted in their seen or simplest form. The aim is to create a new, neutral impression.
Metaphors and brain-friendly images allow new, more appropriate or helpful inner images to guide feelings and actions so that new possibilities in life can emerge.

In connection with your concerns, we will therefore 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 dedicated attention. Painting creates contact with the picture, which leads to further steps. The painting tasks are suitable for both inexperienced and experienced painters.

We do not work with interpretations, illustrations, symbols and meanings.

and airbnb ... unique accommodation from local hosts

With a car or bicycle, accommodation directly on the Werse is also worthwhile.

Catering

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

sequence

We paint Friday to Monday from 1.30 pm to 7 pm with one hour break.

We start with a small round and end with a small round. The paintings are not discussed, but there is an opportunity to talk about the experiences made.

Accompanied painting includes an external framework to protect the painting. For example, nobody talks about other people's paintings. This allows all the painters to embark on their own journey. As a painting guide, I work with the painter during the painting so that old and obstructive patterns can be seen and choices can be discovered.

Arrival

Münster is very easy to reach by train and car.
The studio is located in the beautiful district of Wolbeck in the middle of the town center - quiet and central.
There is a bus to Wolbeck at least every 20 minutes, which takes about 15 - 20 minutes and brings you almost to the studio door.
At weekends the buses run differently - twice an hour to/from Wolbeck market and once to/from Sültemeyer.
