“I left changed—finally knowing, not just sensing, that I am an artist.”

— JOBI MANSON

our experiences

We offer two distinct, carefully curated experiences at our permanent home, Eona, on the island of Chios, each designed to support artistic growth, cultural immersion, and meaningful connection. Whether you're seeking the energy of collective experimentation or the stillness of focused solitude, our retreats and residencies provide space, time, and inspiration to evolve your practice.

Both paths are rooted in our ethos of cultural exchange, creative freedom, and collective care. Participation is limited to ensure depth, intimacy, and impact.

Our Retreats offer a three-week, immersive creative journey for a handpicked group of artists to experiment, exchange, and reset within a vibrant, communal environment. This is an experience for those seeking creative revival and connection—an opportunity to step out of the ordinary and into a space of artistic possibility.

AT A GLANCE

Our Residencies are highly selective, self-directed programs offering space, solitude, and structure for artists engaged in research, deep creation, or site-specific work. Designed for those ready to dive inward while engaging with the cultural and natural rhythms of Chios, the residencies are a chance to develop work with intention, depth, and place-based awareness.

“Never would I have imagined that a place I had previously never travelled to could possibly offer me, after such a short amount of time, the unmistakable sense of belonging.”
