(6 Days / 5 Nights)

Once upon a time, the stars vanished.

A child looked up and saw only darkness.

Once upon a time, the stars vanished.

A child looked up and saw only darkness.

From the edge of the world, a fox watched quietly.

When the child began to search,

the fox returned a single star to the sky.

When the child began to search, the fox returned a single star to the sky.

Then another.

And another.

Until the night was bright again,

not because the stars had returned, but because...

Until the night was bright again, not because the stars had returned,

but because...

Wonder had.

A curated,
six-day residency designed as a living laboratory of curiosity and play.

Through photography,

you’ll learn to see the familiar as unfamiliar, and the ordinary as extraordinary.

Through movement,

you’ll rediscover the connection between motion, emotion, and meaning—the way

we move, and are moved.

Through architecture,

you’ll experience how form and space invite new ways of seeing—how structure can open what it once contained.

Through culinary creation,

you’ll craft stories that awaken the senses  

and nourish connection.

We remind leaders that when curiosity opens the door, imagination steps through. In the desert’s stillness, play becomes vision, and wonder comes alive.
