Rhythm: Rewiring Work & Community

February 9-16th, 2025
An immersive residency harnessing the power of creative community and intentional routine to elevate your everyday life.

February 9-16, 2025
Valle de Bravo, Mexico
Just because you’ve carved your own path doesn’t mean you have to walk it alone.
Despite living in devotion to your unique purpose, spending so much time in front of screens or working in solitude can distance you from the rhythms that sustain us: our natural biological clock, the structure of nourishing routines, and the powerful support of community.
