Silence Awareness Existence
Thematic residency program in Finland, Winter 2024

Periods: 1 or 2 months
When: January / February / March 2024
Where: Arteles Creative Center, Hämeenkyrö, Finland

Deadline for applications: 26th of July 2023

Thematic residency program in Finland for artists, writers and creative minds attuned to the theme. 
The program brings together creative individuals from different backgrounds. Artistic, scientific, meditative and existentialistic approaches are all equally embraced.

Taking place at the heart of the Northern winter, the conditions are excellent for creative contemplation, solitary introspection, concentrating intensively on your work, thinking and being, as well as for sharing experiences and ideas with other, similarly oriented minds. There is no pressure to have a concrete productive outcome, in case your focus is more in inner development, self-reflection and research. All participation in group activities is voluntary.
