The location is great. The old monastery has a special atmosphere and the accommodation is good, the food really tasty and plentiful. It would almost be like a vacation if....
...if it wasn't for Jochen ;-)
There are so many new things. So many construction sites that you discover thanks to his attentive observations. The level is irrelevant. If you're not a professional yourself, you can definitely learn a lot. Especially for me as a self-taught photographer, it was enormously helpful to find the little mistakes that have crept in and to be shown a way to work on them.
In Jochen, you have a lecturer who has certainly prepared a tight program, but that's actually why we came.
Despite this, he always finds time to respond to each participant individually and never comes across as being down on them, but always at eye level and with great appreciation. After a short time, you get the feeling that you've known each other forever.
No airs and graces, although Jochen's musical and teaching skills would even justify this. But instead you meet a totally down-to-earth and grounded person who imparts his knowledge in a very likeable way and is noticeably committed to getting the best out of the weekend for every participant. Jochen is a person who is clearly passionate about what he does, and so it is easy for him to infect and ignite others.
It was also great to see how the strangers quickly formed into a group that supported each other and worked together towards a common goal. The group dynamic was really great and many thanks to all the participants who contributed to the fact that I really enjoyed this weekend.
I would like to say a big thank you to you, Jochen. I took home more construction sites than I wanted to, but that's what it's all about. The development.
Being able to conjure up things tomorrow that were unthinkable yesterday. Thank you for helping me a lot with this. I wish you all a peaceful and blessed Christmas. And stay tuned.
Just get going!
Best regards
Ulrich
