- When
- Thursday 20 August
- Time
- 14:00 to 17:00
- Length
- 3 hours
An afternoon in two halves, and one booking covers both. NOAH, who works under the name Nataraj, opens with Kali Grafi: calligraphy as gesture, brush and ink moving between scripts and traditions, from Devanagari and Arabic to letters nobody has written before. Luciana Santana then carries the room into shamanic song, the ancestral singing of the Brazilian Amazon, sung together rather than listened to. Dinner follows at 19:00 for whoever would like to stay, and the two of them play a concert at 20:00.
Meet the artist
NOAH and Luciana Santana
NOAH works in calligraphy and philosophy, Luciana Santana in song and Amazonian ancestral tradition.
NOAH is a French artist, writer, philosopher and visionary creator working at the crossroads of philosophy, art, spirituality and the imagination of future worlds.
Rooted in the great traditions of human thought, from ancient philosophy and mystical traditions to contemporary art, literature and emerging technologies, his work seeks to weave connections between body, mind, soul, spirit, language and cosmos.
A polyglot and explorer of cultures, NOAH moves freely between philosophy, poetry, music, visual arts, mythology, sacred traditions and education. His creative practice is an invitation to cross borders: between disciplines, between cultures, between the rational and the mystical, between ancestral wisdom and the possibilities of the future.
Through artistic creation, philosophical inquiry, movement, music, nature and collective experiences, he develops spaces where consciousness can become playful, embodied and free.
His vision is ultimately simple and immense: to create bridges between worlds, and to make life itself a work of art.
Luciana Santana is a Brazilian artist, musician and composer rooted in Indigenous ancestral traditions and the Sacred Path of Amazonian wisdom.
Her journey brings together music, medicine, consciousness and the healing arts, drawing upon ancestral knowledge and the Amazonian plant medicines. Through her work, she explores the profound unity between body, mind, soul and spirit, creating bridges between ancient wisdom and contemporary ways of living.
Her artistic practice embraces free movement, yoga, conscious nourishment, music and ritual as paths towards greater presence, connection and transformation.
Through sound, movement and ancestral knowledge, Luciana invites us to remember what the body already knows: that healing is not only a return to ourselves, but also a reconnection with the living world.

The residency has closed
This day has been and gone
The August residency is over and nothing here is for sale any more. The page stays up as a record of the day. We are now bringing our creative services, living galleries and art residencies to hotels and guest houses — if that is you, or you would simply like to know what comes next, write to us.
We answer every message personally.
