Langeoog Retreat 19.-25.06.2027 DIE INSEL RUFT 🌊 Langeoog Retreat 19.-25.06.2027

DIE INSEL RUFT 🌊 🏊‍♀️ 👙 🐚 🏖️ 🦀 🌊

Schon 2027 wird es ein etwas anderes und neues Langeoog Retreat geben. Diesmal mit einem besonderen Schwerpunkt: KÖRPER – SEELE – GEIST. 

Eine Woche auf Langeoog abtauchen und auf vielen Ebenen auftanken – all das ruft sehnsüchtig nach diesem Dreiklang. Auf dieser besonderen Insel passiert es wie von selbst, diese spürbare Entschleunigung, ein anderer Rhythmus, Einatmen und Ausatmen, dem Gespür für die eigenen Bedürfnisse folgen und die Summe vieler vieler Dinge wirken lassen.

UNSERE IDEE & VISION
In dieser Woche werden sich Zentangle-Projekte von auf besondere Weise mit Achtsamkeit und ausgewählten Aspekten aus dem Marma-Yoga verflechten. Es wird kein klassisches Yoga-Retreat, eher ein ganzheitliches Erlebnis, in dem alle drei Anteile liebevoll zusammenfließen werden. Gestalten werde ich es gemeinsam mit meiner lieben CZT-Kollegin und Yogalehrerin Barbara Steyer @tintenyoga. Es ist für alle Zentangle-Liebhaber gedacht und für die Yoga Anteile gilt: Jeder kann mitmachen, es ist keine Yoga-Erfahrung notwendig.

-------------------
Datum: 19.-25.06.2027

Ort: Hotel Bethanien, Standard-Einzelzimmer (160€ p.P./Nacht inkl. HP), Buchung macht jeder individuell 

Seminarkosten: 890€ (inkl. MwSt.)
Anmeldung: öffnet am 23.08.2026, 11:00 Uhr, per Email

The sea and seagulls... ...somehow belong togethe The sea and seagulls...

...somehow belong together. So there was also a lovely project on the theme of seagulls, which can certainly be viewed from different perspectives. On the one hand, they’re a bit like the rats of the skies, but they’re also often idealized and romanticized—symbolizing freedom, as well as taking the space you need, being rebellious, and living as a free spirit. 

And to inspire us, my son Mattis treated us to a fantastic step-by-step guide for cheeky seagulls. In February 2025, Kathrin @kathrin_burmeister threw a ‚Bunte Party‘ featuring the tangle #toucan. Mattis liked it so much that he developed a seagull version of it...and for us, it turned into a little project in ‚Polaroidling‘ format. Each little tile tells its own sweet little story! Absolutely enchanting.

Langeoog Insights Continue... ...what else could Langeoog Insights Continue...

...what else could you dream of on an island in the North Sea? A perfect day at the beach! What does that look like to you? I love sitting in a beach chair (Strandkorb), gazing into the distance, listening to the sound of the sea, and turning the chair every now and then—either to shield myself from the sun or the wind—or just lying back on our Fatboy beach sofa...and of course, a dip in the water is a must. Diving into the cool water, the waves, letting yourself drift, being carried along, feeling like a mermaid, having fun, recharging with refreshment, ...

And all of that found its way into a project—a tile featuring a string that I call the “feel-good string,” which always lets creativity flow, combined with maritime patterns, and finally, emerging from the center, a graceful bathing woman. One participant said it was like emerging from a fountain of youth!

Magical mosaics were created. Thank you, @kathrin_burmeister , for capturing that special moment when sun and shadow danced and the tiles came to life even more. I can look at these photos over and over again, and they make me happy!

Thank you @fynnzessin for your amazing inspiration 😘.

Next Piece of the Langeoog Puzzle The vision for Next Piece of the Langeoog Puzzle

The vision for this project was to somehow preserve a week in which so many special, touching things happened. Over a year of anticipation, then that magical week, and finally having something at home that brings back all those memories, energy and love. 

Many years ago, my friend Anoeska @vrijexpressief gave me a little wooden figurine, and she’s a master at bringing them to life—and that’s how the idea came about to create a little “island self” using these wooden figures. This “mini-me” was then allowed to explore the island mindfully in its own way, and through that, we often noticed completely different details. And in the end, we weren’t just 24 women by the sea, but also 24 “island selves.” 

And my daughter Mira had the brilliant idea to whip up a perfect accessory for us—for stormy days by the sea. Just so sweet!! Thank you so much, Mira! You’ve given us such a wonderful gift!

And thank you so much, @vrijexpressief , for letting us use your idea so generously.

Langeoog and the Power of Beach Crabs This was on Langeoog and the Power of Beach Crabs

This was one of my passion projects — beach crabs and exploring the inspiration they can offer based on their biological characteristics. For example, their stalked eyes provide a good all-around view, or the way they repeatedly shed their shells allowing growth, and above all, the fact that they move sideways rather than forward—a change of perspective. Sometimes taking a few steps to the side helps more than always striving to move forward. So the tile ultimately became a symbol of the crab as a personal power animal. 

The colors, precious paper, and magical mosaics are simply delightful—and during a surprise picnic on the beach the day before, we even got beach crabs from the local pastry shop - including a sandstorm and a seagull attack ;-). Pure adventure and joy!

Thank you @derpapierladenmeseckehannover for the amazing papers that you have!

brain off - sea on Or Listening to the music of t brain off - sea on

Or Listening to the music of the ocean inside your head.

Here’s another bit of inspiration from our week on Langeoog. 

Of course, during a week like this—filled with the joy of the sea, the sound of the waves, and swimming in the North Sea at 7 a.m.—a session on wave patterns was a must. 

Henrike @henrikebratzczt and I picked out some great tangles, experimented with them in our sketchbooks, and then filled our heads with waves. 

The mosaic turned out so refreshing!

Here’s to a dip in beautiful impressions!

Our week was filled with so much joy, surprises, creativity and more than can be put into word…therefore I decided to share a few more details of some projects…

We started with bringing a first portion of energy into our island sketchbooks by creating lifebuoys with  amazing neon colors! Thank you so much dear Sarita @tpotdesign for your magical colors and your kindness and open heart to prepare the dot cards with so much love and generosity. 

And day by day the sketchbooks were filled with bits and pieces, love, energy and happiness. 

Thank you @henrikebratzczt ! We had an unforgettable week!

Zentangle Retreat Langeoog 2026

We had the most wonderful time on LANGEOOG - a magical little island in the Northern Sea. 

A true happy place - a place to calm down, where time seems to run so much slower, a place to reconnect with yourself, but also with other wonderful women, sharing creativity and opening our hearts, sometimes even growing out of our comfort zones with little challenges 😉, enjoying life, Zentangle, and the rhythm of the ocean. 

We had amazing projects with depth and mental impulses, our hotel was pure paradise, the food was nurishing our souls, we had the entire mixture of rain, wind, storm, thunder and ‚caribbean‘ summer and it just felt deeply fulfilling!

Take a bath in a few impressions of our week on the island!

And more cups…. and playing around with my cutter And more cups….

and playing around with my cutter 😉. 

The idea of creating piles of cups and using them as a reticulum is really boosting creativity. 

And it is a big pleasure to see all your versions after our Zenmagic session!

I imagine us to be all an amazing collection of cups, all having an own story and décor and building an inspiring and energetic community. 

Thank you for filling our and each other‘s cups by sharing inspiration, connection, love, gratitude and positivitea!

More cups…. Holding a cup of something warm and d More cups….

Holding a cup of something warm and delicious to drink in your favorite cup, closing your eyes, calming down, enjoying the moment mindfully - that’s pure selfcare, a moment just for yourself, check-in with your needs, emotions and thoughts…

Do you have a favorite cup too? Or more than one? I would love to be able to see your collection of mugs 😉. 

Here are some of my favorite mugs on paper, filled with love, creativity and joy!

And there’s a great saying in German:
„Ich habe nicht mehr alle Tassen im Schrank“ - das stimmt, ich habe sie jetzt auf Papier 😉. 

So let’s allow ourselves exactly this state 😉…

...and again a big thank you to @tpotdesign for your amazing pigmented colors and @martina_ramhapp for hosting Zenmagic.

A cup of tea… …and many thoughts… Thinking about A cup of tea…

…and many thoughts…

Thinking about the phrase - that’s not my cup of tea - or the opposite and how mindfulness can inspire us, not the think and feel in such a black and white manner but rather imagine a cup of tea as something that we can choose to fill and to be aware of how filled our cup of energy and resources is at a certain moment - and then being able to fill it as a way of selfceare and self love and having a cup of positiviTEA 🫖☕️❤️

And I am sure you can relate: 
Every artist hast two mugs. One for tea. One for brushes. It´s a dangerous game. 🤣

And since life can also be seen as being a collection of mugs - one cup was not enough for our wonderful session - we created amazing stacks or piles of mugs, evolving our drawings into crazy versions and then decorate everything with colors and tangles, details and lots of fun!

Thank you @martina_ramhapp for inviting me to your wonderful format of Zenmagic - we had an amazing time filled with zen and magic and lots of quotes and thoughts 😉. 

And thank you @tpotdesign for filling my cups with your amazing neon watercolors!!!

Team training combining mental power and creativit Team training combining mental power and creativity

Yesterday I had the big pleasure to spend the day with 5 wonderful open-minded executives. At a wonderful location far away from tasks, meetings and daily business…and we filled the day with magical calm and a big portion of background about mental health, mindfulness, positive psychology, healthy rhythms, the power of up and downs, selfcare and finally reflecting about the term energy…

…everything is energy, vibration and frequency…

…energy flows, where focus goes…

What a gift that companies and team leaders are creating chances and offsites like this. Offline is the new luxury…😉.

And it was my first workshop with a crackling fireplace next to us. 🔥

I am deeply grateful that this is my job, full of freedom how create the dramaturgy of such a day and enjoying what unfolds with its own magic.

Was sind (deine) ZEN ESSENCIALS? Fokus, Flow & Se Was sind (deine) ZEN ESSENCIALS?

Fokus, Flow & Selbstkalibrierung – mit Stift und Papier

In diesem ‚Zen-Essencials‘ Workshop geht es um all das, was Zentangle schenkt. Achtsamkeit mit Stift und Papier als Türöffner für vielfältige positive Wirkungen.

Es soll ein Tag sein, an dem man sich selbst Zeit schenkt - eine Auszeit, Ruhe, Raum für Balance. Ein Tag zum Kopf frei bekommen, auftanken, sich auffüllen und kalibieren. 

Ich vermittle die Methode auf eine nicht ganz klassische Weise, denn in den letzten 10 Jahren habe ich eins gemerkt: Zentangle kann und darf ganz vieles sein und passt sich an die eigenen Bedürfnisse, Lebensphasen und Lust und Laune an. 

So bin ich über die Jahre an einen Punkt gekommen, nicht mehr in Basisworkshop und Fortgeschrittenenthemen zu unterscheiden – ich baue immer frische, überraschende Umsetzungen ein und es geht vor allem um das Erleben der Essenzen von Zentangle – Minimalismus, das sich Bewegen zwischen Lenkung und Freiheit, das Abtauchen und Eintauchen, einen Blick auf die eigenen Bedürfnisse, das Anzapfen von Intuition…und selbst die Quelle für eine große Portion Glücksgefühl zu sein.

Ort: Hannover-Linden, Unternehmerinnenzentrum

Wann: Samstag, 30.05.2026, 10:00 – 17:00 Uhr

Kosten: 110 € Kursgebühr plus 20 € Material

Melde dich gerne, wenn du Interesse hast.

„Drawing is taking a line for a walk.“ Paul Klee „Drawing is taking a line for a walk.“ Paul Klee

This wonderful quote was the red line of our zoom workshop yesterday! We all met for a walk with pen and paper and a special role for our brushes 😉. 

The theme was to reflect on how we are all walking on different paths, how paths evolve, take turns, how sometimes detours are necessary and at the same time bring us to new and unexpected places…Walking without a goal, on paths where there exist no mistakes and learning to let go of plans and expectations and be guided by joy and intuition. 

And there is a gorgeous tangle pattern for all of this mental playground - PeelD by Francoise Lip. This tangle is one of my favorites since more than 8 years and I use it really often. For me it is a charming representative of the zentangle philosophy - finding your path between structure, order, guidance and at the same time creative chaos, freedom, flexibility and individuality! And the mixture of both, chaos and order is the magic of all the Zen that Zentangle gives us!

It was a colorful, playful, also challenging afternoon, bathing in mental impulses, flow, connection and amazing creative energy!

Thank you so so much for this wonderful walk and all your sparks!

Little windows of mindfulness Last week I was so Little windows of mindfulness 

Last week I was so lucky to attend Anoeska´s wonderful bonus zoom workshop, as a little additional spark of her Zenuari initiative. 

She introduced us to one of her favorite strings - and somehow I couldn’t resist to cut out two little windows and went on a little adventure looking through the eyes of this zen window and discovering nice and inspiring things around me 😉. People who know me, know that I am a big fan of the so called „REFRAMING“ - putting things into new perspectives as a tool of mental power. There cannot be enough nice frames to look at life in a reframed positive and energetic way!

And of course I was also playing with mosaics and fueling myself with this wonderful creative energy! 

Thank you so much dear Anoeska @vrijexpressief for your sparks of inspiration, your calm, your kindness and big heart!

Lucky is a state of mind 🍀☘️ So it is an ideal co Lucky is a state of mind 🍀☘️

So it is an ideal combination to tangle lucky glover tangles and to refresh the own mind with lucky glover energy. 

I was so lucky last night, to take part in simone‘s @simtangle_czt  #simtanglesession. Normally during the week there is so much life around me in the evenings, that there is no space for a quiet metime. But yesterday, due to an upcoming snowstorm the school was cancelled for today and I took the free space to tangle! ‚Happy New Yeah‘ seems to unfold 😉. 

Thank you so much dear Simone for your calming and inspiring evening and all the great ways to play with lucky glover tangles!

Lust auf eine Portion frische Luft für den Stift u Lust auf eine Portion frische Luft für den Stift und den Kopf?

Lasst uns ein paar Linien spazieren führen - wie es Paul Klee so schön beschrieben hat!

Januar und Februar sind so Monate, in denen man gut auf seine Energie achten darf, sich innerlich auf das frische Jahr ausrichtet, in der die Tage Stück für Stück wieder länger werden, der Frühling ist aber noch nicht in Sicht. Es gibt Raum zum Sinnieren über die Wege, die das Jahr so gehen wird, Kurven, Umwege, Schleichwege, Abzweigungen…Und mit ein paar mentalen Impulsen dazu wollen wir mit einem meiner Lieblingsmuster spielen und experimentieren: Peel_D!

Wann: 21. Februar 2026, 15:00 - 18:00
Wie: per Zoom
Kosten: 30€ (Bezahlung hinterher)

Wenn du Lust hast auf diesen kleinen feinen Spaziergang, melde dich gerne und ich nehme dich auf die Liste. Alle weiteren Infos kommen dan ca. 1-2 Wochen vorher per Email.

Ich freue mich auf eine schöne kleine Auszeit!
