A co-created residency offering in Oaxaca, Mexico – facilitating a slow, intentional, and experiential container for bio-cultural exchange and creative process.

Casa Comuna is just 20 minutes from the center of Oaxaca City in the neighbourhood of San Felipe del Agua. Gifted with the foothills of the biodiverse Sierra Norte and protected nature reserve as a backyard to reconnect with the natural world, the rolling hills to explore and become grounded in, and the Valley of Oaxaca embraced by the surrounding mountains as expansive views to begin and end each day.

The Comuna bio-cultural residency is focused on facilitating a reciprocal exchange of experiential learning, regenerative thinking, and creative process–guided by community-led immersion into Oaxaca’s ancestral and contemporary culture, earth-based wisdom traditions, the surrounding ecology, and local creative communities. Through cross-cultural sharing, creative experimentation, research, exploration of inner and outer processes, and community connections, residents invest their time, energy, and presence toward individual work, intentions, and expressions, within a co-created, holistic, and grounding container. The collective intention is to invite new perspectives that inspire how residents integrate back into their home communities, and the world at large, through individual approaches to work, projects, creative processes, and shared living and healing systems of wellbeing.

We encourage and welcome participants from all backgrounds, fields, creative leanings, interests, and proposed projects, who resonate with our residency offerings to apply.

If you have any questions about the residency or application process, please get in touch. We’re very thrilled about the opportunity to meet and connect with you.
