Join us for a transformative week of creativity, reflection, and connection at the Grunewald Guild, nestled in the serene beauty of the Cascade Mountains. This week-long artist residency invites creators of all disciplines to step away from the noise of daily life and immerse themselves in a supportive and spiritually nourishing environment.

Over the course of six days, artists will have dedicated time and space to develop their work while engaging in meaningful dialogue with fellow creatives. Daily rhythms include optional communal meals, contemplative practices, and evening salons where residents are invited to share their work-in-progress for constructive and compassionate feedback.

This residency also offers the unique opportunity to meet with a trained spiritual director, who can help you explore the deeper currents of your creative journey and how your art intersects with the sacred.

Whether you’re seeking solitude, inspiration, or collaboration, the Grunewald Guild provides a space where art and spirit intertwine. Come ready to create, to be seen, and to experience the beauty of community grounded in creativity and care.
