A work retreat is a way to be here on a self-payed stay. We welcome artists and researchers, who work with more-than-human relations; be it plants, insects, trees, animals and other species with whom we share this planet, or other approaches to the climate emergency and the so-called Anthropocene. Our roots, via Secret Hotel, are in performing arts, but we are open to all disciplines.

During a work retreat you can enjoy the unique silence of this land and dive into your practice. But you can also tap into the reoccurring buzz created by the environment of artists, volunteers, daily staff, returning craftsmen and Christine & her partner, making the creative energy tangible. Read more about our facilities here.

We aim for Earthwise being open to artists and researchers from different backgrounds and with different budgets.

If you are interested in a self-paid work retreat, contact us at info@earthwise.dk shortly describing your work focus in a few lines and how it is relevant to the values of Earthwise.

Since 2023, we have been hosting two annual open calls for artists, making it possible to stay for a longer period in a funded residency. These are called Curious Encounters. One of the two is for upcoming artists, and the other for midcareer artists, both in interdisciplinary collaborations. Subscribe to our newsletter to be notified of any open calls and deadlines.
