PHILOSOPHY

To challenge oneself in life is a path to challenging oneself in work.

If you are uncomfortable in a camping setting, this residency is probably not a good fit. To ensure you are informed and prepared for the rustic nature of this experience, please contact us with any questions.

“I had a really good experience!”

 

“Having time to work and the resulting satisfaction with completing a challenge and producing something. A sense of refreshment and accomplishment.”

 

“Consider how you feel being alone, if you are able to focus while isolated.”

Keren Moscovitch

“Amazing, rejuvenating, exciting, spiritual, wonderful!”

 

“I found the spiritually nourishing environment of the woods and the mindful detail with which the cabin has been constructed to be incredibly inspiring and grounding for diving deep into the project.”
