You're Invited to a One-of-a-Kind Painting Retreat in Greece
We are delighted to invite you to an extraordinary painting retreat next summer—an immersive experience like no other. Hosted by internationally renowned artists Mantra Cora and Professor Philip Rubinov Jacobson, this retreat offers a rare opportunity to dive deep into your creative practice through workshops inspired by the techniques of the Northern Renaissance and their mentorship under the legendary Professor Ernst Fuchs.
Over the course of three enriching weeks, you'll awaken and refine your artistic vision through a direct transmission of timeless knowledge, infused with inspiration and personal guidance. Whether you're a beginner, an experienced artist, or a seasoned professional, this residential course is designed to meet you where you are and elevate your work to new heights.
Set in the magical landscape of Greece—a land steeped in myth, beauty, and light—you'll share this journey with a passionate community of like-minded artists. Expect full studio days, 24/7 access to painting spaces, and a creative atmosphere where exploration and expression flourish. Beyond the studio, you'll enjoy shared meals, ocean swims, and adventures that enrich both soul and craft.
Mantra and Prof. Phil are celebrated not only for their mastery, but for their unwavering commitment to each student’s individual growth. They offer personalized instruction that honors your unique visual language, skill level, and creative path. No two students ever leave painting the same—or like anyone else.
To ensure an intimate and deeply focused experience, the retreat is limited to just 14 participants and spaces are granted on a first-come, first-served basis.
Join us for this transformative artistic odyssey. Discover the power of guided mastery, community, and the Greek sun to ignite your creative fire—and take a quantum leap in your art.

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

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.

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.
