Those who remove themselves to far forests often feel superior to others. They think that because they are solitary they are being guided in a special way and that those who live an ordinary life can never have that experience. But that is conceit and is not a help to others. The true recluse is one who is available to others, helping them with affectionate speech and personal example.

I know I say this a lot, but please listen to your body and what you need. Sometimes a to do list needs to be thrown out of the window, and the overall planning ahead must change a bit. You will be alright. If it is rest you need, then please rest. If it is going outside you need, please go for a walk. If you need company, then see someone, but if you cannot see anyone, call a friend or do a facetime hang (watching a movie like that is actually fun). Ask yourself what you truly need and listen for the answer, and go with the answer that feels right to you. It is hard to listen to ourselves, but I find it is too something that gets easier with practice.

LIGHT GREY ART LAB ICELAND RESIDENCY PROGRAM! Meet TEAM MERLIN!

With just a few more days to apply to join us in 2018, we wanted to show you some of the great times we had on this summer’s adventure to Iceland! We hope you can join us next year! APPLY BY AUGUST 15th!

*****

We are currently looking for adventurous individuals that want to explore the Icelandic landscape, share big concepts with other like-minded people, and have a chance to challenge one’s self to expand how they perceive the creative process, be inspired, and much more. 

*****

DETAILS FOR THE 2018 program can be found HERE! 

We wrote a mini recap of Team Merlin’s adventures / workshops in the North. Check out the Team Merlin blog post HERE!  We’ll be posting little recaps of the other teams’ adventures soon, so keep an eye out!

Each individual on the team provides a workshop to the group on something important to their creative practice, and we are all challenged to think big, push past boundaries, consider new concepts and try new creative techniques in making and ideating. In addition to the workshops each night, the Light Grey team takes the group on daily journeys to epic waterfalls, moody beaches, incredible geological formations and much more. 

TEAM MERLIN: Adam Davies, Anne-Louise Erambert, Avner Geller, Britton Robert Snyder, Gabriel Garza, Ingrid Kallick, Isabella Mazzanti, Jeff A. Menges, John DeLucca, Justin Oaksford, Meg Hunt, Mike Freeman, Rory Phillips, Francesca Buchko, and Vitor Lima Mazon.
