Imagine a community living on a private stretch of white sandy beach on a secluded island near Bali, known as a surfers paradise, Momentom Artist Residencies are a hub for elite minds and playful souls.
We are in the middle of a period of a great reset.
What we have come to understand as “normal” is being re-invented. We are living in uncharted territory.
How we travel, the way we connect, the way we relate, the way we co-live and co-exist is open for new interpretation, and we’re keen to master its new definition.
During this transition and new chapter ahead, the best medicine is to continue to align into what inspires us to feel fully alive.
We can continue to stay locked up, masked up, live in fear – or – we can position ourselves to live in ultimate freedom. For us, this is our right. For us, this is our duty.
The Indonesia residency was designed to help us come back to our playful, high-vibrational selves. Everything about the location is straight from a dream: surfing on white sand beaches, halfpipe skateboard park, outdoor calisthenics gym, delicious vegetarian food, and one of the most beautiful aerial spaces we have ever witnessed. We understand that space architect minds, so in a world with too many walls, residents will live in a fully, fresh-air palace on a coconut plantation.
A key ingredient to the Momentom philosophy is the skillshare platform where every resident is both a student and a leader. There is no guru, there is no set teacher. This is community life. This all stems from yogic ideals and is what propels the Momentom tribe into a state of continuous growth and learning.
It takes 28 days to form a habit and therefore we recommend a stay of one month for the most optimal Momentom experience. We encourage residents to set an intention for their stay and to check in with our coaches to keep on track.
We have invited some of the most inspirational and influential community members to master the human experience. Elite aerialists, experienced tantra teachers, amazing yogis.
Daily activities run in circus arts, tantra, energy healing, yogic asana, embodied movement, calisthenics,and pranayama. Infuse these practices with discussions on quantum physics, science of sound frequencies, yogic philosophy, blockchain and emerging technologies to clean and reprogram your system and awaken the most optimal version of yourself. Give yourself a reality check on where you want to position yourself in the new world that is birthing. For that, you need to know the right people and acquire the right tools and mindset.
We have started certifying our residencies. These certificates are our vouch for residents that graduate a month residency as valuable additions to any communities. It is in our opinion that the future will be lived in communities, and anyone residing with Momentom will be able to contribute to the artistic and healing components of any collective worldwide.

The nearest city is Taliwang which is 20 minutes drive and has ATMs, shops, flight ticket office and hospital. The resort itself is right on the beach in the middle of a coconut plantation and connected to 9 private surf breaks and beautiful untouched waterfalls.
