Residency at Pudding Creek

Here, time loosens its grip.

A residency at Pudding Creek in Mendocino County is an invitation to step sideways out of the rush and into a living conversation with land, body, and breath. Come for a week or more to have space and time to settle into your own rhythm.

Each day begins with meditation, a quiet tuning-in. Yoga, offered three times a week, becomes a practice of listening, a way of remembering that the body is not separate from the earth beneath it. Time in the garden is not a task but a relationship: hands in soil, eyes at leaf-level, learning directly from patience, decay, and renewal.

This is a space to heal disconnection and soften the habits of alienation. A space to rest without apology. To make, think, write, or simply be. To encounter a wilder self—not untamed, but deeply entangled with trees, weather, and the quiet intelligence of the land.

• The cycles of the days revolve around morning meditation and time spent outdoors in the gardens. Projects are seasonal and depend on what needs to be done.

• Generally the day starts around 7:30am with meditation and then time for breakfast.

• Expect to spend 2 - 3 hours learning and working outside in the morning with Ashley 4 - 5 days per week. The work is physical, but approached with spaciousness as we learn to work in a sustainable way.

• Some meals will be shared and yoga happens on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.

• Accommodations are either in the separate guest apartment or in shared housing.

• Costs are sliding scale from $50 per week to $500 per week depending on length of stay, accommodations, and work hours.
