About

Ophelia

When I was a child, songs were constantly running through my head. I often took my sister’s guitar and sang short fragments over and over again. Only later did I learn the meaning of mantra.

Since my earliest youth I have been performing on stages as a musician and working as a singer on studio productions. I sang at international jazz festivals (Munich, London, Ingolstadt etc.), studied classical opera singing privately in Heidelberg and instrumental pedagogy for pop+jazz guitar in Frankfurt.

Mantras are familiar to me from an early age. For me Mantras are artistic expression, prayer and spiritual path at the same time. When singing in everyday life and at concerts they give peace, strength, destination, designation and self-determination.

Susanne

I am Susanne and I have worked in many countries and travelled extensively. I capture my impressions of cities and countries in my paintings. My mother was an artist and she taught me different techniques of painting. Colours were always my source of strength and inspiration. The sound experience of the mantras shows itself to me in colours. Many of my works are exhibited across Europe and the USA.

I help people to discover and rekindle their passion for colour and the joy of creating. Even if you’ve given up, you’ll rediscover your unique creativity. The power of nature and colours, combined with bodywork and mindful breathing, will support you.

With a programme by the sea in a beautiful setting, featuring campfires and meditative techniques. This is pure relaxation. No matter what stress you’ve been through. During this week, your own self-expression will return and you’ll feel like a new person.
