The Artist Residency Retreat
Om Shanti dear one! Before You Apply, Please Read First
Join us from November 10–20, 2025, for a 10-day creative immersion in the Costa Rican jungle. The exchange energy is $600 and includes meals, lodging, workshops, a massage, and an opportunity to co-create an artistic offering that will live within the sanctuary. As part of the exchange, each artist will leave behind a piece of their work—on a wall, canvas, or installation—as a lasting imprint on the Sanctuary and community.
This experience is more than just a stay, it’s a sacred collaboration between creativity, nature, and spirit.
We are calling in heart-led, multidisciplinary artists who feel inspired to share their gifts and contribute meaningfully to our growing sanctuary in Costa Rica.
Whether you’re a visual artist, musician, writer, dancer, performer, healer, or creative visionary, this is your invitation to create in harmony with the land, the elements, and community.
We welcome expressions in:
-
Painting, sculpture, textile, and installation art
-
Music, singing, and sound healing
-
Movement arts, yoga, and embodied practices
-
Poetry, storytelling, film, and photography
-
Herbalism, ancestral craft, ritual, and earth-based creativity
-
Any art that honors healing, spirit, and authentic self-expression
In exchange for your gifts, you’ll receive:
-
Lodging in our sacred jungle sanctuary
-
Three nourishing, plant-based meals per day (Monday–Friday)
-
Daily yoga classes and access to wellness workshops
-
One relaxing or deep tissue massage
-
Time and space to develop or deepen your creative projects
-
An opportunity to leave your mark through art that becomes part of the sanctuary
-
A supportive space to connect, reflect, and be inspired by nature
This is an invitation to live intentionally, to slow down, and to create from the heart. A time to be witnessed in your art and to witness others. To rest in beauty, and to remember why you create in the first place.
If this speaks to your soul, we’d love to hear from you.
With love,
Jowana
Founder of The Yoga Sanctuary & The Brown Girl Yoga Tribe
