Through a combination of meaningful questions, visual exploration, and connection with ourselves, we discover helpful images of reality.
We learn to distinguish between wishes, feelings, thoughts, and what is.
With brush or pen, we create simple shapes and lines — and observe friendly the images which arise
Do they serve me and my or our goal? Or not?
If not, we let them go and find new ones.
This is drawing, painting, and visual storytelling for everyone.
Spontaneous and intuitive.
Chaos becomes constructive.
Fiction meets truth.
Painting creates clarity.
The combination of good questions, visualization creates a better connection with ourself. We find helpful images about reality. We learn to differentiate between wishes, feelings, thoughts and reality. We take the brush or pen and make simple forms and lines. And see if they serve me, or not and find others.

18.6 Being supple. What does it mean to you? Loosening, releasing, yielding, bowing, evading, a tolerance window in the mixture of strength, grace and firmness ….. Where does our rigidity hinder us and where, in which area of your work, daily planning, love life or conflict management could 5% suppleness be useful? How much suppleness is too much?

FAQ: Are you/we doing art, or healing, or is this a straightforward training for founders who want to deal with a lot of logistic and decision problems, or is this just fun, me time, resting playing with color and form, or are you a drawing-teacher?
I am a facilitator. Creating a space, where people use drawing to deal with a subject, feeling, goal, situation, and get into contact with themselves, reality, stakeholders, resources and make better decisions.
You decide what your focus is. You can make art there. You can heal there. You can get ideas for difficult subjects there. You can just come to have an interesting activity together with a friend or family member. You can come- because you tried everything else with this subject, and they all didn t work or didn t suit you but you want to move on finally. You can come because you want to meet other people outside your bubble and do something together which is great and will help you to find satisfaction and joy in other situations. You can come because you want a place to draw and paint and you don t care about the subject but get something out of it anyway.
Past Subjects:
–Colors of power: political, emotional, structural, imaginary, real, unused, financial, spiritual power. Power in teams, groups, family, love and friendship relationships.Power of Sun and nature and developement.
And we can also explore powerlessness or the feelings of powerlessness.
Draw yourself or a figure or a line that expresses I am powerful. Write a few sentences about power. Power means I take the helm. I am powerful because… I enjoy my power via…. I benefit from the power of ….. I have more power when…..I find power….. Power is important for …… because………Or make your own sentences and associations. For example, draw two panels. You or others on dull mornings and 5 minutes later you feel 3% more powerful. Draw someone who has more power than you. How close would you like to get to this person. Draw yourself on the sheet. Or draw a second panel where you can both be seen. Group power: Draw 3-7 people. Which person has the most power. Do you need an object to show this? Clothes? Lines? Body size? Position on the page? Do everyone involved see the situation as you do, as an outside observerWhy do we sometimes prefer not to feel or see our power? Do I like People who use their power? Lets visualize different aspects. Draw power you have but don’t see or use.

You may use words, abstrakt lines or little figures. Animals, ghosts or whatever helpful images come. And decide which inner images and belief systems you reflect as an obstacle to move around to get what you need and want to be the person you like.
–say what I want. Concretely realistic . Fulfilable. to myself and others.

What can and will I flirt with? With me, with the ground, with strangers, with friends, with the wind, with life, with ….? How am I if feel flirtatious? How are you, if I like to flirt with you?
–What is reality? Can we differ between feelings, sensations and thoughts. Or do we construct reality from the feelings? And do our feelings make us decide or our convictions or convinience?
