Why Should I Consider Attending a Residency?

As we are in full swing of our 7th season, having just finished our Sound Residency with Porangui in Nicaragua, and the Green Residency with Stephen Brooks in Costa Rica, we are so appreciative of the years of energy and input necessary to create these dream worlds. We are so grateful for your trust and your time, and the amount of stories and memories and evolution that has come to the surface of these experiences is too difficult to put into words.

But we’re going to try.

It’s hard to explain the unique elements of residency and why people should attend but below are the top 10 reflections we can share when someone asks, ‘What is Momentom- and why are you going?’

And if you are playing with the idea of community living and creative modality, this is a great road map to find yourself in an exotic location, surrounded by a bunch of like minded people, who are invested in creating a new type of living that fills your heart first- head second.

Top 10 Reasons why you should attend a residency:

1. MC is the only co-working space meets artist residency.

Momentom Collective nails the concept of bridging a co-working space for content creators and creative entrepreneurs – with studio spaces for artists of all kinds. While in residency, you’ll have the framework to work and develop your projects . Taking a break, however, won’t be a quick snack while scrolling through your feed, You can hop an aerial rig or start a breakout dance party. This is what we do: embrace the mode of the moment and flow from work to play.

2. You’ll be immersed in highly creative spaces.

3. You’ll connect with other world class artists.

Our mission is to empower humans from all walks of life to connect with their creative energy, train their mind and body, and be surrounded with people who aren’t afraid to talk about big ideas. With all the art forms at your fingertips Momentom makes it possible to explore your creativity. Build your portfolio. Find inspiration from your peers. Act on inspiration and try something new. Step into dream states and redefine what’s possible.

4. You’ll take your game to the next level.

It’s our promise: you will grow beyond what you thought possible and do something you’ve never done before.

5. You’ll enter the global Momentom Collective tribe.

When you attend a residency, you’re not just attending one event. You’re joining our global community of brilliant creatives who meet regularly around the world and support each other in their journey to making a huge impact and create real change.

6. You’ll live It up in nature.

We make it a point to design residencies that make residents ask “am I dreaming?”
Personal development calls for inspiring locations & we keep our residents inspired by taking the training out of the studios and into fresh air, the computer work out of the air-conditioning and onto the oceanfront. Our facilities are in gorgeous picturesque locations; next to bodies of water, in the jungles, and at the base of volcanoes. Momentum has selected locations that will blow your mind every time you reflect on your surroundings.

7. You’ll engage in transformative fun.

With DJs, musicians, clowns, shamans and dancers part of our tribe, we take our play seriously. We promote circus culture, and we embody radical expression, in all forms, in all ways, always. Dress up, dance, and sing. You can join in on Johnny’s legendary Tutu Tuesdays or pop into an ecstatic dance, and celebrate like everyday is a festival.

8. You’ll learn new art forms and improve your current ones.

Join a community of some of the most talented artists on the globe for a month – and combine it with non-stop workshops and skill sharing – and you’re bound to learn something new. Train as you learn and solidify your new skills. Your network of peers will guide you through the new, and you’ll find yourself supporting, sharing knowledge, and teaching too.

9. You’ll create a healthy habit toolbox.

After a month of meditating every day, of practicing nonviolent communication, of eating delicious vegan food, you might not notice improvement, but the healthy habits you’ve been practicing will be ingrained in you for you to take with you on your journey. As new tools in your toolbox, you can turn these personal practices when you need to drop in with yourself.

10. You will build a deeper connection with your art practice.

When else do you have the opportunity to practice silks, work on acroyoga with a partner, record music, do a business skills deep dive, or spin fire every day? In Momentom residencies, creatives are given the opportunity to find deeper meaning in why they do their art, to ask why they create, and explore how to take their expression to the next level.
