Our Manifesto

For the creators and the thinkers: time softens and the boundaries between art and nature dissolve. The forest becomes your studio, the breeze your soundtrack, and the sun your gentle muse. Creation is not a task, but a way of listening—of letting yourself be shaped as much as you shape. A quiet invitation to slow down, tune in, and let the world around you become part of what you make.

Meet Our Artists in Residence

“We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.”

— Dead Poets Society
