Artists from around the world are invited to step away from noise\, deadlines\, and distraction — and step into the slow intelligence of the natural world. \n\n\n\nThis residency invites you to explore biomimicry not as science\, but as art.Spend your days studying an element — a tree\, a rock\, a patch of moss — and translate that into your creative practice. Let it shape your rhythm\, your questions\, your method. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n🌿 Theme: Nature as Process\n\n\n\nEach artist will be invited to observe\, spend time with\, and creatively respond to a natural form — be it a plant\, texture\, animal\, or elemental force. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nYou’ll ask: \n\n\n\n\nHow would this tree compose a poem?\n\n\n\nIf a boulder danced\, what would its rhythm be?\n\n\n\nCan fog inform the way I tell stories?\n\n\n\n\nThis isn’t about imitation. It’s about transformation.What can the process of nature reveal about the process of creation? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n🧭 What You’ll Experience\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nA quiet environment to focus on process and reflection\n\n\n\nNo formal mentorship – Gentle prompts\, guidance\, and a community of peers\n\n\n\nDaily circles for optional sharing and discussions\n\n\n\nFreedom to explore your medium – painting\, dance\, film\, poetry\, installation\, sound\, etc.\n\n\n\nA final evening to share works-in-process\, questions\, or discoveries with the group\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n🛖 What’s Included\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n10 days / 9 nights of accommodation in shared earthen dorm\n\n\n\nBreakfast included\n\n\n\nAccess to nature-rich locations and shared indoor/outdoor spaces\n\n\n\nOptional creative prompts\, reading material\, and facilitation tools\n\n\n\nA group of 8–10 selected artists from India and abroad\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n💡 Who Should Apply\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nArtists\, creators\, and thinkers across any discipline\n\n\n\nWriters\, dancers\, culinary artists\, musicians\, designers\, visual artists\, installation makers\, poets\, etc.\n\n\n\nPeople excited by nature\, slowness\, and process\n\n\n\nInternational and Indian artists alike\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n💸 Fees & Inclusions\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe’ve designed this residency to be accessible and affordable.It will include: \n\n\n\n\nStay (shared rooms or simple private accommodation)\n\n\n\nLunch & Dinner (Form the feedback\, we want to be inclusive of everyones dietary commitments\, so you order and pay for yourself OR you could opt for a meal pass)\n\n\n\nAccess to common areas\, forests\, and studio-like spaces\n\n\n\nParticipation in all group activities\n\n\n\nGuidance on travel from major cities (Delhi/Chandigarh)\n\n\n\nThe residency fee is starting ₹22\,000 INR (~$243 USD) for the full 8 days.
