We are thrilled to announce we will be hosting COSMICA-res 2024 in October. COSMICA-res is an unprecedented residency program that merges the realms of art, science, and the ancestral wisdom of the Amazon. Hosted in the breathtaking surroundings of the Amazon Rainforest, this initiative is more than just a residency; it’s a transformative journey that invites artists, scientists, educators, and thinkers from around the globe to engage deeply with the natural world and the indigenous cultures that steward it. Applications are open until July 15.

The Vision of COSMICA-res

At the core of COSMICA-res lies a profound respect for the Amazonian ecosystem and the communities that have thrived in harmony with this lush landscape for millennia. Our mission is to foster an environment where creative and scientific pursuits intersect with indigenous knowledge to inspire a collective reimagining of our relationship with Earth. By placing the Amazonian cosmovision at the heart of our discussions, we aim to catalyze a shift in consciousness towards planetary regeneration.

What to Expect

The COSMICA-res program, situated in the serene community of Paraíso by the Rio Itaya, offers a 22-day immersive experience that is as enlightening as it is enriching. Participants will find themselves enveloped in the vibrant life of the Amazon, staying in jungle cabanas and partaking in a curated itinerary that includes:

• Workshops and Lectures: Learn from a diverse array of speakers, including local shamans, artists, scientists, and educators, who will share their knowledge and insights on a range of topics from environmental regeneration to indigenous art and shamanism.
• Cultural and Natural Explorations: Engage in forest walks, river excursions, and visits to local communities, deepening your connection to the land and its people.
• Creative and Spiritual Practices: Participate in medicinal plant sessions guided by experienced professionals, offering a direct pathway to the Amazonian spiritual world.

Who We’re Looking For

COSMICA-res is seeking interdisciplinary participants who share a passion for exploring the nexus of culture, environment, and spirituality. We welcome artists, scientists, philosophers, writers, and educators who are keen to contribute to a dialogue on creating conscious communities and fostering environmental stewardship.

Join Us in Shaping a Regenerative Future

COSMICA-res 2024 is more than an opportunity to explore the Amazon; it’s a call to action for those who believe in the power of interdisciplinary collaboration to inspire real-world change.
