you arrive, shoes off, and settle in. the room is calm and set up so you can get into your own flow straight away.

you’ll see people making, planning, testing ideas, writing, sketching, rehearsing, or quietly sorting their head out. you can chat if you want to, ask for feedback if it’s helpful, or keep it to yourself and focus.

nothing’s forced. you’re not expected to introduce yourself or explain what you do. you’ll leave feeling better than when you came.

you’ll be in a space where presence matters. phone use stays low, no scrolling, no distractions.

there’s a no video culture here, which cuts out a lot of the ‘performing for the internet’ & pressure to be impressive.

you’ll be around people who are actually building things and taking themselves seriously without taking themselves too seriously.

accountability is built in, so your time doesn’t just drift. you’ll also get a monthly guest talk, practical and useful, plus the odd extra night dropped with 48 hours notice.

if you show up over the 16 weeks…

✓you’ll get out the house more, without forcing it.

✓ you’ll feel less drained by life, less isolated and more socially fed

✓ you’ll start moving things forward that you’ve been sitting on for a while

✓ you’ll experiment more, take more creative risks, and feel calmer in yourself.

✓ you’ll leave with more nourishing friendships and collaborators

most people finish feeling more consistent, more confident, and more connected than when they started.

we’re doing this because building a big life can feel lonely and overstimulating, especially when your routines don’t fully match who you’re becoming.

because third spaces and studios can be hard to access, shallow networking is boring and unproductive; and, because isolation is crippling / makes people recover alone instead of connecting, which is one of the best healers we have.

this residency gives you a reliable, sacred place to return to while you build. a room that helps you slow down, stay present, and actually follow through on what matters.

ages 25 to 45.

founders, creatives, musicians, and curious minds who are kind, down to earth, and want a better life for themselves. especially if you don’t fit typical scenes but still want community.

this will suit you if you:

✓ are serious about building a life that feels true to you

✓ have big ideas or ambitions and are actively working on them

✓ want a calm, respectful space to make and think

✓ like real conversation and people who show up properly

✓ don’t need alcohol or filming to enjoy yourself

his won’t work for you if you:

• move through shared spaces disrespectfully

• need to be the loudest or most visible person in the room

• thrive on drama, cliques, or constant negativity / self-depreciation

• want to film, post, or perform for attention

• struggle to respect clear boundaries

this residency works best if you actually turn up.

you’re expected to come at least 2 times a month. you don’t need to be super social or confident, but you do need to be open, respectful, and willing to take part properly.half-hearted energy doesn’t work in a space like this.
