Kai Art Residency x Nomad Nest partner to invite you and your family to a place to connect, belong, and grow.
A Unique Co-Living Experience For Families
Imagine waking up to the crisp mountain air of the Sacred Valley, the golden morning light spilling over the Andean peaks. Your kids run barefoot through the gardens, chasing butterflies, while you sip a warm cup of tea, settling into the slow rhythm of life in this breathtaking place. Maybe you venture to a nearby market, visit the waterfall or Incan trails that surround the property, participate in a family-friendly workshop, or find a quiet corner to get some work done.For two months, we’re transforming Residencia Kai, a creative retreat and cultural hub, into a co-living experience for families. Each family will have their own private house, while the shared studios, gardens, and open-air gathering spaces become the heart of our community. Over these two months, collaborate on a project together, learn about Incan history, and form deep friendships with other families.
