Punta Mona and Momentom Collective come together at Macaw Lodge to create one of the world’s most unique and nourishing experiences in embodied movement, community living, and permaculture design.
The residency is designed to provide 2 weeks of buffet-style experience where residents can get a taste of all of what Momentom, Punta Mona and Macaw Lodge have to offer, as both are experts in their respective fields: Punta Mona in Permaculture & sustainability and Momentom in Movement arts & community living.
The residency is 4 weeks long and is certified. Residents will be invited to taste the various facets of what it takes to run and operate a farm, make natural medicine, live off the land, embody the very nature of permaculture and the rhythm of the jungle.
Momentom sets the stage as we always do. Our Workshops & Intensives help cultivate our arts and guide us in our cementing daily rituals, practices, and focuses that lead us toward optimal mind, body, and expression. Fields of studies in Movement include Performing Arts, Aerial Silks, Flow Arts, Partner Dance, Slackline, Acroyoga or Kung Fu.
In between training, the residency is designed to take residents into waves of peaks and shadow work, including ceremonies in holotropic breathwork, temazcal, kombo and cacao to help bring awareness to the unconscious mind. This shadow work is then countered with ecstatic dances, mud baths and heart meditations. We adapt to our neutrality.
After residents the chance to experience the buffet of both the movement arts and the permaculture subjects, you’ll be given the option to specialize in the areas of your choosing within the sustainable living and movement arts offerings.
The Permaculture Workshops & Intensives by Punta Mona will vary based on what kind of stewardship the land is needing, ongoing projects, and what is in season. Expect experiences in farm to table cuisine, fermentation, regenerative farming, nutrition, herbalism, gardening, eco-building, homesteading and wild crafting
The 1 week “specializations” are 5 day deep dives and progressive series in ONE theme in GREEN and ONE theme in MOVEMENT (see below) Residents will train specifically in these modalities and themes for one week straight to deepen and master their knowledge and their skills.
The entire experience is customized to be based on play, permaculture, knowledge sharing, specialization and sustainable living. As we learn and grow together as a community, we will learn how to HUMAN well – with authentic relating, non-violent communication and conscious relationships (cozy) workshops. Through these intentional community spaces, we will support each other in our journey of knowledge integration, project actualization, and finding oneself through community living and in relationship to the sacred other.

WHAT
We are in a time of radical systems change.
The global pandemic has shed light on decades of over-industrialization, alienation from nature, and one another as some of the primary root causes of global inequality, illness, poverty and environmental degradation. The Arts has been shut down, in a time where we need arts to pivot a renaissance in collective thinking.
In response to our world’s current state, Momentom Collective and Punta Mona teams up to provide an radication Educational Incubator for ART, COMMUNITY, and SUSTAINABILITY that empowers global creators in igniting a regenerative future of inspiration, conversation, and action – leading the transition into the new paradigm.
Launched in 1997 by the world renowned green entrepreneur Stephen Brooks, Punta Mona is a year round community. It is home to over 300 different varieties of tropical fruit and nut trees, root crops, medicinal and flowering plants, herbs and vegetables. Punta Mona is a living classroom with a mission to practice and teach a simpler, more regenerative way of living. Momentom Collective is a micro community entering and working in conjunction with the larger macrocosm that is Punta Mona.
Punta Mona will be providing world class permaculture courses, and regular opportunities to connect with, work, and learn from the land.
