IN-PERSON RESIDENCY
October 18-24 | Marbella, Spain
An intimate 7-day creative residency for artists, composers, filmmakers, writers, designers, facilitators, visionaries, entrepreneurs, and cultural builders.
Set within a secluded, beautifully designed space, the residency offers 1:1 mentorship, intimate group sessions, and protected time for focused work inside a consciously curated peer community. This is not a conventional wellness retreat, but a deep, professional container for those who want to step out of their usual environment and re-enter their creative lives with greater coherence, confidence, and long-term vision.
At the intersection of wellness and creativity lies vitality. To be well is to be creative.
Our Viluz Residency is a creative sanctuary for those craving spaciousness, recalibration, and creative activation. Our design honors an integrated rhythm of restoration and emergence, unfolding through the arc of: Grounding → Nourishing → Ideating → Clarifying → Actualizing
FOR VISIONARY ARTISTS CULTIVATING A HOLISTIC PRACTICE & COMMUNITY
This residency is designed for artists, creatives, and visionaries who are devoted to living and creating from a deeper, more integrated place. If you’re seeking a space to attune to your inner rhythm, reconnect with your body as a vessel of knowing, and nurture your work in communion with nature and kindred spirits, this is fertile ground. Whether you’re tending the early stirrings of a new project or seeking fresh energy for an existing vision, this experience invites you into a field of shared resonance, where personal transformation and collective creativity intertwine.
This is for individuals who feel the call to...
-
Reconnect with the body and natural rhythms as source point for creative expression
-
Deepen the expression of a seed idea or evolving vision
-
Dissolve creative or energetic blocks
-
Be witnessed and supported in community
-
Collaborate in a field of creatively resonant individuals
THE EXPERIENCE
We will move fluidly between embodied practice, creative inquiry, strategic reflection, collaborative experimentation, shared meals, rest, play, and spacious, uninterrupted time to work. The aim is not only to support what you are creating now, but to strengthen how you create over the long term. Our intention is to offer a space that supports meaningful progress on your projects, without gripping to a specific outcome, while cultivating creative kinship you can carry forward.
DAILY GROUNDING PRACTICES
Seated and moving meditation, somatic attunement, and live deep-listening sound journeys to regulate the nervous system and open creative perception.
1:1 MENTORSHIP
Individual sessions with Robot Koch and Kathi Hendrick, tailored to your creative work, questions, and next steps. We will invite others to sit-in, as a lot can be learned from witnessing and observation.
SMALL GROUP CREATIVE INQUIRY
Facilitated sessions focused on creative clarity, blocks, direction, and decision-making within an intimate peer group. We'll encourage immersive feedback loops that support artistic development and project-level progress.
ESOTERIC MAPPING
Practical applications of Human Design to help you understand your creative rhythms, energy system, and optimal modes of work and collaboration.
PROTECTED TIME & SPACE
Structured openness for focused work, reflection, rest, and integration within a quiet, supportive environment.
A CURATED COHORT
A small group of peers selected through an application process to ensure a high-quality relational field.
AN IMMERSIVE ENVIRONMENT
A rare environment where architecture, landscape, and atmosphere are designed to function as part of the creative process. You'll have access to a range of different spaces to create and rest.
JOIN THE COLLECTIVE
Beyond the residency, participants become part of the Studio Flora’s Collective, a growing, global circle of artists and cultural builders committed to mutual support, creative exchange, and long-term collaboration. We will continue to create opportunities to gather, share work, seed collaborations, and feature artists across platforms and projects, strengthening the connective tissue between practices, places, and lineages of creation.
THE RHYTHM
Each day unfolds in a gentle, intentional rhythm balancing creative exploration, restorative practices, and communal nourishment. The space is designed to support both deep focus and organic flow, offering spaciousness for inner listening, meaningful connection, and artistic emergence. Below is an example of how a day might unfold.
MORNING CENTERING
Somatic grounding practices (e.g., meditation, movement, nature walk)
NOURISHING BRUNCH
Shared meal with many breakout spaces to continue to be in silence
WORKSHOP OR CREATIVE PRACTICE
Facilitated group sessions to deepen exploration and expression (e.g. vocal toning)
CREATIVE WORK CYCLE
Individual practice, small group explorations, or optional 1:1 support
QUIET INTEGRATION TIME
Collective solo rest, recharging, journaling, or time in nature
EVENING MEAL
A time of collective integration and reflection through witnessing, dialogue, and shared insights
EVENING SALONS
Fireside chats, sound journeys, artist showcases, or group rest
THE CREATIVE ARC
Over the course of the week we will encourage you to move through an arc of:
Grounding → Nourishing → Ideating → Clarifying → Actualizing.
Below is a glimpse into the flow of the residency.
PRE-ARRIVAL PREPARATION
Prior to arriving, we will meet with you 1:1 to better understand your intentions for the residency. We will also have a group call, which will be an opportunity for you to get to know one another.
DAY 1 · ARRIVE & ROOT
Land in nature and center. Set intentions, create an altar, attune to the land, and connect through essence-based introductions.
DAY 2 · LISTEN & GATHER
Tune into what’s emerging. Map creative seeds and blocks, follow inspiration, and share what’s pulsing beneath the surface.
DAY 3 · VISION & CLARIFY
Clarify your creative vision and begin prototyping from an embodied space.
DAY 4 · EXPLORE & WEAVE
Open to new possibilities. Collaborate, play, and iterate ideas through peer witnessing and shared experimentation.
DAY 5 · WORK & REVEAL
Let your vision take form. Dive into your creative process, receive support, and begin shaping what wants to be shared.
DAY 6 · REFINE
Refine and prepare. Engage in feedback loops and bring your vision closer to full expression.
DAY 7 · SHARE & RETURN
Harvest and integrate. Reflect, share your work, and prepare to return home with clarity, connection, and momentum.
POST INTEGRATION
After we depart, we will come back together on a virtual group call each month for three months to share what's been created and support continued evolution.
THE SPACE: VILUZ
Viluz is a rare and thoughtfully designed retreat space nestled in the hills near Marbella, Spain. The land invites both deep rest and expansive imagination, with luxury rooms, a dedicated temple space for immersive experiences, reflexology paths woven through the gardens, herbal apothecaries, hammam and ice bath, pool, meditation trees, and quiet tea houses scattered across the property. Every element is designed to support nervous-system regulation, subtle perception, and sustained creative focus. It is a place where beauty is functional, silence is generative, and the environment itself becomes an active collaborator in the work.
We invite you to explore their website to get a better sense of the space.
ROOMS
Each room is designed to invite stillness, comfort and connection. You may choose between a deluxe double room with a king-size bed, or a deluxe twin room with two twin beds that can be arranged together or separately. All rooms are elegant and have their own entrance, offering a restful private space to integrate the day’s work and return to what matters. You can see the different rooms here.
MEALS
Each day we will gather for a late morning brunch, an afternoon snack, and dinner, prepared as refined, nourishing cuisine that supports both vitality and focus.
AMENITIES
Viluz offers a 17-meter outdoor swimming pool with mountain views, an ice bath for physical regeneration, and an intimate Finnish sauna. Guests can practice on an open-air yoga deck overlooking the mountains, find stillness in the serene indoor Serenity Salon, or walk barefoot on a Reflexology Path. You can view the whole suite of amenities here. All of this is set within a private, quiet mountainside with views of the ocean.
