Earthbound. An Ode to Life: exploring Art, the Earth and embodied Connection

You are invited to attend the first ever Artist Residency program at Tierramor, lead by the talented Anna Kiesser and Tali Tsour.

The TierrAmor Artist Residency is a uniquely crafted experience for creatives, artists, visionaries and healers that bridges connections between art, the earth, and subtleties of the human experience. 

This container invites you to dive into a deep exploration of how we can cultivate harmony internally and externally by connecting with ourselves, with one another, and with the natural world, engaging in a creative process individually and in group dynamics.

This is a collaborative space for self-inquiry, transformation, expression and creation. It’s an open and supportive place where you will have the opportunity to step into the roles of both teacher and student, taking part in classes and workshops while having the chance to offer anything you would like to the group. 

Take part in workshops where we will transform raw materials into art, working with the elements and natural materials like earth, wood, seeds and stone, mimicking the transformative process and cyclical rhythms of nature itself.

Support your body, mind and energy through group practices like breathwork, yoga and embodied movement, releasing energetic or emotional blocks, and encouraging a free flow of life force and creative expression. 

Explore parts of you, your inner landscapes and your connection with nature in Mask-making workshops.

Explore your unique voice, and the power of the group energy to support and inspire the process of bringing a collective vision into form. “Embodied Poetry” is a series of group Photography sessions that we will create together to awaken the beauty of the human spirit and to listen to the voice of the earth.

Come play with us!

Create and celebrate, move and be moved, as we listen to the voice of the earth and awaken the beauty of the human spirit within.

TESTIMONIALS

“I had the privilege of attending a 12 day retreat with Anna. During this time I was able to connect with parts of myself that had become largely unknown to me. Prior to attending this retreat, I do not know if I had engaged in any true creative expression since I was a child. Not only had I lost connection with my creativity, but with my body, my freedom, my life force. Through various exercises involving meditation, breathwork, movement, touch, artwork and community connection I was able to reconnect with this life force energy that had seemingly become dormant inside me. This process was not always easy. I was confronted with shadow parts of myself and emotional wounds that had likely contributed to me becoming cut off from connection with others, the Earth and myself. I experienced my body “waking up”. I am able to express myself more fully than ever before, unbound by my insecurities and inhibitions. I feel able to let the energy inside me be whoever it needs to be. This allowed me to construct pieces of art that I never thought possible given my complete lack of artistic experience. I was able to create something that was truly an expression of me. Anna has found a way to help people become more deeply connected with themselves and the world around them through the medium of sculpting. She helped me along in my journey of connecting with and learning to express who I truly am. For this I am immensely grateful.” – Michael, USA

“Anna has a gift for creating containers of trust, care and clear communication. Her sexy invitations along with adept facilitation skills opened the door to explore parts of myself I’d been too scared to in the past. I’d encourage anyone with a curiosity to explore those parts of themselves to accept Anna’s invitation and step into the playground!” – Andrew, Canada

“Anna’s mud dancing workshop was so much more healing and liberating than I expected. Movement with the earth felt both primal and safely grounding. My nervous system after the workshop felt more soothed and satisfied than I’ve ever felt before. Anna is such a divine feminine presence, creating full acceptance and safety in self-expression. Thank you for reminding me of how powerful it is to work directly with the earth!” – Ayala Sophia, USA

“Coaching with Tali has given me so much lightness in life. Before our sessions, I experienced ample amounts of self-doubt, fear, and discomfort with my emotions. I couldn’t find ways to bring my ideas to reality, and I would avoid taking action to stay in a numb safe-zone. Through our sessions, Tali provided me with helpful tools and deep inquiries to myself. This process ultimately helped me get out of my way and fulfill the dreams I longed for in my heart. I am now one year later, and everything in my life feels aligned. I work with passion, I am surrounded by loving community, and most of all, I believe in myself. Without Tali, I wouldn’t stand where I am today. Her support has been truly life-changing.” – Orit, USA

“Tali has a way of holding space in such a gentle and nurturing way, but at the same time has this ability to constantly challenge the conversation and take it to deep, beautiful and honest places. She projects wisdom and finds ways to help you come to meaningful understandings, never telling you what you need to do, but always guiding in ways that inspire individual exploration and curiosity. A beautiful human with a simply beautiful talent.” – Hadas, Israel

“I feel so blessed to have had Tali by my side as my coach on this crazy journey of exploring the depth of my inner world and walking the path of spiritual awakening (aka remembering). So here I am now, on the other side of the world, about to start my own group coaching program, never having felt more joyful and at ease with myself then right now. All this could have never happened without Tali, since our coaching journey together was the stepping stone to where I am now. I am thankful for her commitment, always believing in my highest potential, while still guiding me in such a supporting and loving yet honest way. There was literally never even a moment where I regretted working with Tali.” – Laura, Germany

“After spending my life in talk therapy, I felt that it wasn’t addressing the depth of healing I had been seeking my entire life. After meeting the angel in human form, Tali, my life direction forever changed.
Tali’s unique gift of lovingly witnessing my journey, while providing intuitive support and guidance, reminded me what it felt like to be safe, seen, heard, and supported.” – Mandi, USA

FARM TO TABLE CUISINE

Tierramor’s dedicated Farm to Table Dining Team will provide 3 x daily meals for the duration of the workshop. We believe being a part of the solution – by nourishing ourselves we nourish our environment. We do our best to support and source from local farms (including our own) and use as many organic ingredients in our cooking as we can. We share meals together, in a communal space.

The majority of meals are vegetarian. We can accommodate for all dietary requirements, including vegan. When there is availability of fresh fish, chicken and meat, those can also be incorporated in the diet.

In our effort to minimise plastic usage and food waste, we do not currently permit guests to prepare their own meals in the kitchen.

Any specific dietary requirements should be notified ahead of time of arrival 😊

Email events@tierramor.cr if you have any dietary restrictions.
