It’s even better waking up to the garden and mountain views you get from every window.



Activities
During your time in Montino, we are hosting a 3-week writing residency - The art and philosophy of making a home.
The art of making a home is a delicate and continuous process we all engage in throughout our lives. Our desire to feel safe, to belong, to find comfort, and yet to remain free and authentic individuals creates a constant tension and imbalance.

Going far beyond our usual perception of home, this unique 3-week creative philosophical residency inquires deeply into our human nature and the connections we form with our environment. It provides a transformative space where individuals can deeply explore and redefine their understanding of "home" in a rapidly changing world.

This 3-week residency program, designed by urbanist and photographer Yoav Goldwein, delves into the philosophy of home as portrayed by the great philosophers of modern history while exploring our own narratives of home with methods from Narrative Therapy and Process Work.
This particular combination, together with embodiment practices, offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the personal and collective stories that shape our identities and let go of tensions and inner barriers that hold us back in a world in which the only constant is change.


What does it include?
24/7 access to our comfortable coworking space, equipped with an espresso machine, tea, and milk. We provide food ingredients for breakfast (yogurt, cheese, bread, cornflakes, etc.) and basic ingredients for general cooking (oil, pasta, rice, condiments, and spices), so all you have to do is bring your favorite food and share with the community.
We arrange daily yoga and/or movement, alongside group activities such as jam sessions (we have plenty of instruments, just pick), game nights, skill-shares, hikes, movie nights, and so much more.
Almost every night we cook and eat together and gather in our comfy living room to socialize and network.
Transfer
Arriving from Switzerland to the Italian alps is an easy train ride. Take the train from Brig, transfer at Domodossola to Verbania-Pallanza station, where our coliving staff will pick you up.
