ART WEEK WITH URSULA ERCHINGER & JOANA KLAKLA – ÜBERLINGEN
Celestial Inspiration – Creative expression and inner stillness in the magic of the Christmas season
During the peaceful Christmas season, when the world becomes a little quieter, the Buchinger Wilhelmi Clinic opens its art studio for a very special week full of creativity and inspiration. From 20 to 27 December 2025, the
Art Week will take place here under the motto ‘Celestial Inspiration’ – a creative break under the starry sky that enriches both body and mind. This art week invites everyone who is looking for inner peace, magic and new inspiration during the Christmas season.
ART WEEK “CELESTIAL INSPIRATION”
Art and reflection during Christmas season
In the special atmosphere of the holidays, you are invited to look up at the sky and rediscover the beauty of the winter nightscape. The blue hour, twinkling stars and fascinating celestial phenomena serve as a source of inspiration. Nature and art history provide impetus to find fresh perspectives for your artistic journey. In this contemplative time, the Art Week ‘Celestial Inspiration’ offers space to find peace and at the same time blossom creatively.
Under the sensitive guidance of freelance artists Joanna Klakla and Ursula Erchinger, you will experience a week full of experiments and artistic experiences. Every day, the light-filled studio opens its doors for three hours – a protected space where you can work creatively at your own pace. You will immerse yourself in the world of experimental printing, try out the monotype technique and discover new ways of expressing yourself through painting and drawing.
Space for experimentation and creative growth
This Art Week focuses on playfully experimenting with different techniques and materials. Without pressure and far away from everyday life, you can let your imagination run wild. The creative atmosphere allows you to realise your own art projects while also experiencing inner reflection. Every exercise, every brushstroke and every print not only advances your artistic skills, but also promotes your personal development. During these seven days, an almost magical atmosphere emerges: creative development and inner renewal go hand in hand – a journey to the stars that enriches both your art and your spirit.
Highlights of the Art Week “Summer Lights”
Even beyond Art Week, the Buchinger Wilhelmi Clinic offers ideal conditions for artistic creation.
The in-house studio is generously equipped with materials for painting, drawing, modelling and printmaking.
In an inspiring environment, patients and guests can pursue their creativity here all year round. Like therapeutic fasting, artistic work promotes the regeneration of body and mind – the senses are sharpened and the mind opens up to new ideas. This unique combination of art and healing creates an atmosphere in which inspiration and well-being intertwine.
Experienced women artists as your guides
The Art Week is led by two experienced instructors who bring both expertise and heartfelt dedication. Joanna Klakla, who studied art and art education at the Institute of Art at the Pedagogical University of Kraków, now lives and works as a freelance artist and lecturer on Lake Constance. Her specialties are painting, woodcut, and collage – under her guidance, participants can expand their creative skills and learn new techniques. The second course leader, Ursula Erchinger, is also a freelance artist with her own studio in Überlingen. She has an academic background in art and education and focuses artistically on painting and drawing.

The Art Week “Celestial Inspiration” at the Buchinger Wilhelmi Clinic promises not only an intensive art experience, but also deep inspiration for both soul and senses.
