FRAUEN AM MEER Zentangle Retreat Langeoog 2026 We FRAUEN AM MEER
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!

Thank you @henrikebratzczt - we were a great team together!
Thank you @tpotdesign for your amazing and unique neon colors - they made us all so happy!
Thank you @hotel.bethanien for creating such a special place with such a cordial staff!

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!

Happy new YEAH! or Frohes Neues JA! This is my m Happy new YEAH!
or 
Frohes Neues JA!

This is my mantra for the year - reflecting to which things I want to say YES!

So this is how my YEAH/JA was incorporated yesterday in a very special zen cake. 

I was so lucky to start into this new year with creative metime and a gorgeous workshop by @kathrin_burmeister und @yvonnepranschke_fleer . Four hours of flow, trusting the process, not knowing what will come. 

I really like this process as a metaphor how this fresh new year is still ahead of us not knowing what will be in this box of chocolates this year, staying open, curious, positive, mindful and enjoying that not everything can or must be controlled, that letting go and grow has a wonderful energy and surprising yourself is just magical. 

I loved to play with the amazing collage papers and the idea of a half transparent spiral with #divi came by itself and wanted be part of this special object. Like wandering through all the facets of a year, but held together with a growing net of beauty and magic, leaving space to breathe, to give insights, to grow in a direction of a spiral - meaning events, feelings, triggers are often repeating itself, but you grow and evolve phase by phase. 

And my 11 year old son was also attending the great workshop - he created the magical spiral by playing with all the papers, adding a little window with his word of the year! I love it. 

Thank you so much dear Kathrin and Yvonne for all your creative energy, your big heart, your inspiration and friendship!

Bathing in an ocean of options… …swimming like a Bathing in an ocean of options…

…swimming like a fish or a mermaid 😉 in scale tangles (Schuppenmustern). That´s what we did last night!

I love the idea, that scales are an important element of the outer layer with a protective function and also enabling hold, strength and flexibility at the same time. So we started by looking at scales in nature, but also at amazing scale patterns on fabric. 

And then it was like time stopped and we were completely immersed in so many possibilities of grid structures, scale fragments and playfulness - asking yourself what you need in this special moment! Enjoying the endless creative space or the calm of a meditative mono tangle, bathing in color or the beauty of black and white…

It was a wonderful evening taking over @henrikebratzczt weekly #tangletreff. Thank you! 😘

I am looking forward to all the wonderful scale energy that is on the way, since we prepared many many stripes that are calling for some zen bathing with pen an paper.

Magical Maptangling This afternoon was ‚Kathrin’s Magical Maptangling

This afternoon was ‚Kathrin’s Bunte Party‘ time again! I enjoyed every minute..playing with colors, mindfully watching them to create incredible fusions and build wonderful islands and then exploring the new colorful countries with pen and tangles. It recharged my batteries and filled my heart with colors and joy! Thank you so much dear Kathrin @kathrin_burmeister for your unique way to bring colors into our lives.

And thank you so much dear Anoeska @vrijexpressief for the wonderful buddha tile that was a gift from you a long time ago. It was waiting patiently for this moment, filling me with so much gratitude! I am so lucky!

Thank you @tpotdesign for your super amazing neon colors. They brighten up my day and are pure joy and energy.
