LIMITED TO

With Philip Rubinov Jacobson
&
Mantra Cora
It is our pleasure to invite you to attend a painting retreat this summer presented by Nexus Muse LLC and Old Masters – New Visions. Join us next summer in studying Mischtechnik (Mixed-technique of Egg Tempera and Oil) painting. Delphi is an ancient town, and was first inhabited in late Mycenaean times as far back as the 15th century BC. The seminar studio will be on-site with our accommodation. This is an exciting opportunity that will take place in the center of the village at Delphi within walking distance to many historic sites, and only 8 miles to the sea and pristine beaches (a drive of about 10-minutes or so). Greek traditions and writing reference five different temples built at Delphi throughout history. Some scholars even say that the first three temples were constructed before the creation of the Homeric poems and before the cult of Apollo was established at Delphi. Being only 2 hours from Athens, we will enjoy excursioms to various places like the Acropolis. . Join us as we embark on a life changing journey to Greece !
Delphi — The Centre Of The World With Picture-Perfect Views
According to Greek mythology, Zeus set two eagles free to meet each other half way in the center of the world, and so they did — here in Delphi. The site was considered as the navel of the world in those ancient times. You’ll find discoveries dating to the Mycenaean period to the early Byzantine era and the museum is world class.
Lose Yourself In Beauty
Nature lovers are in no way excluded, and the Parnassos National Park is a super place to visit for its unspoiled nature. The beautiful park is found between Delphi, Arachova and Agoriani and there are lots of exquisite hiking trails for you to take according to your fitness level.

CANCELLATION & SUBSTITUTION POLICY 2024 - 2025:
Should a workshop be cancelled by us for any reason, payment will be refunded in full to all participants. All PAYMENTS in this case, are refundable. If the seminar is not canceled by our actions, but by the student, a Substitution Policy is in effect. In the event of a Natural Disaster or Forces of Nature, War, Pandemic, interference by a Government, Alien Invasion or other Forces out of our control and OMNV is directly effected and shutdown, understand that "we are not the cause of it, nor did "we cancel". We will, however, under such circumstances, grant a CREDIT toward another seminar of equivalent cost and length of time (to expire one year from the beginning date of the canceled seminar. A CREDIT is good for one year from the last day of the current seminar or workshop that the participant registered for and missed to the first day of the following seminar one year later. We can no longer extend credit for years after a seminar that was unattended.
Tuition can be refunded only by a substitute student provided by the canceling student. If the student canceling received any discount, special rate, or other consideration outside of the REGULAR TUITION RATE, in that case, the person replacing the one who canceled will have to cover any difference to OMNV in fees up to the equivalent of the REGULAR advertised
TUITION RATE.
We have had people waiting 5 years to use their tuition credit for another seminar and that does not work for us anymore. Meaning, if you could not attend a 4 week seminar, did not get a substitute to attend in your place, and asked for a CREDIT, if granted, that credit is good for any event, workshop or seminar up to the value of the credit given for one year and ONE YEAR ONLY. No monetary or credit - refund is issued for the cost difference between workshops. (EX. If a seminar cost $1,500 and the CREDIT is applied to a workshop that has a tuition of $600, the difference of $900 is not refundable. The CREDIT IS NOT applicable for multiple workshops that add up to the tuition originally paid. If you are unable to attend, we invite you to provide a student to replace you. Your refund comes directly from that replacement who pays you for your slot. If there is still a balance due that must be made by the substitute as well, or the original attendee who registered. Please inform us with the name and the contact information for the substitute.
TRIP INSURANCE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
IN ORDER TO AVOID loss of DEPOSIT, or FULL PAYMENT LOSS on Tuition, Airfare, or a Medical Emergency, it is STRONGLY ADVISED THAT PARTICIPANTS PURCHASE TRIP INSURANCE AT the TIME they make their WORKSHOP DEPOSIT or FULL PAYMENT. It is very wise to get coverage for CANCELLATION of your trip as well as HEALTH INSURANCE WHILE ABROAD. We have had, on rare occasions, a student that required hospitalization and without travel/health insurance the bill could be rather stressful. SEE Google to compare the 10 best companies for travel Insurance.
HEALTH & SAFETY:
Use normal precautions and common sense to keep yourself and your family/friends safe. Always keep your valuables at your side, don’t leave cameras, phones, or other expensive gear visible, and don’t leave any precious belongings unattended at the beach or elsewhere. We always recommend purchasing travel insurance before your trip. You never know what might happen (flight delays, lost baggage, illness), and travel insurance helps with all of those unpredictable events that can occur in travel and life. We highly recommend that you secure a short term plan covering the weeks you'll be away. In a certain way, if you cannot afford travel insurance, you can’t afford your trip. It’s that simple.

Mischtechnik Steps OMNV, Painting Seminar with Philip R. Jacobson & Mantra Cora, Boulder, Colorado, 2023
For more info visit https://www.mischtechnikseminars.com The creative workers who attend these seminars become an integral part of an ever-evolving community of like-minded individuals who hail from around the world in search of inspiration and knowledge. A family formed in artistic spirit that equally values skill, intuition, human feelings, and the power of the imagination. Whether you attend a 5-day workshop or commit to a 4-week painting retreat, a genuine transmission of artistic knowledge is offered. Be it the Mischtechnik (German for MIXED-TECHNIQUE of painting) or through versions that will serve personal artistic aims, it will be an experience that takes you on a journey to express truth, beauty, and goodness, or the raw ways of the world, or the sublime inner realms of numinous visions. A unique phenomenon of the OMNV seminars is that no two artists that come ever paint even remotely like the teachers, or their fellow students because they are encouraged to find and pursue their own unique visual language. Their 'style' reflects their individuality, whatever that may be. Studying with Prof. Phil and Mantra, many come away from the experience with an unexplained "Quantum Leap" in their work. Celebrating 25 years of teaching Mischtechnik and other Painting methods privately and in Retreats held in the USA, Austria, Germany - Bavaria, Italy, Bermuda, Greece, Bali, Ibiza-Spain, Russia, and India. https://www.mischtechnikseminars.com

THE ANGEL OF DEATH OVER THE GATE TO PURGATORY
From June - end September, 2012, Mantra Cora served as an assistant to Prof Ernst Fuchs on many of his paintings at his studio in the Palais Palffy - Museum of Fantastic Art. From time to time, his old friend and student of 40 years, Prof Phil, would also come by to assist his mentor and the three of them would take their breaks together at the Cafe' adjoined to the palace. Living in the studio with De Es Schwertberger was also a stunning and inspiring time for us.

Prof Philip Rubinov Jacobson on Art - Healing - Inspiration
2008, Dallas, Texas
Everyone is inherently creative, and pursuing your spiritual imagination helps you to express the language of your soul. Using art as a medium of expression is a pleasure and a great source of joy and peace. Painting acts as a bridge that lets you travel from pain and hopelessness towards healing. Each work of art possesses a tone, message and range of emotions that help you unwind, connect and achieve a sense of calmness. In this episode of The Art of Living Gallery, show host Bob Reed meets visionary artist and writer Philip Rubinov Jacobson, who shares how his paintings helped him move through darkness and reach for the light.
