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.

Our Workshops
“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
Endinsa’t en l’univers intens, poètic i rebel de Virginia Woolf. En aquesta jornada literària, descobrirem qui era realment una de les veus més trencadores de la literatura moderna. A través d’una ponència introductòria amb Mireia Vidal-Conte, i una conversa col·lectiva al voltant d’algunes de les seves obres més significatives, ens aproparem al pensament, l’estil i l’impacte cultural d’aquesta autora fascinant.
Al final del dia, volem que cada participant surti amb una comprensió clara del món de Virginia Woolf: la seva aportació a la literatura, la seva mirada crítica al món i la seva influència en el pensament feminista dels segles XX i XXI.
