For mad artists only

Artists wanted for transformative journey. Secret program, extreme creative work, long days of complete immersion on a private island. Return with the same mindset not guaranteed. Liberation and authenticity in event of success.

The dream of being an artist only starts making sense when life begins to move like one.

Maybe you don’t need more technique…

Maybe what you really need is a mind ready to use what you already have.

This isn’t a course. It’s a experiment designed to cut you out of the student mindset for good.

Here, painting is no longer something you finish. It becomes something that finishes you. That’s what this program does. It rewires your perspective, how you work, how you move through the world.

They say our programs work with alarming precision. If you’re serious about change, this is where it happens.

We do it with these mentors:

Yulia Bas Phil Hale Adam Miller Sean Layh Mu Pan Yuko Shimizu Martin Wittfooth

In just one week, you’ll feel the shift.

Not by the book, but by your gut.
