Ignite your imagination to dream of a future world, a wonderful life, and your piece/our pieces of building tomorrow together. We’ll work with clay and get curious about our collective dreams and visions to layer our personal futures.

Getting to Posio
We are remote enough for privacy and solitude, but close enough to two airports (Kuusamo & Rovaniemi) for you to get conveniently to our retreat. There is also a (night) train from Helsinki – it’ll take longer but can be a fun adventure.
Ground transport during the workshop is provided. Airport/train station pickup and drop-offs are provided on 10 May and 14 May from Rovaniemi and Kuusamo.
Detailed recommended train and flight schedules that will match our pick up and drop off times will be provided later when there is more certainty with domestic flight and train schedules. Airport and train station pick up and drop off time will start from Posio no earlier than 9am.
Lodging
You will stay in a hotel room with views of the wilderness from your window, private bathroom and shower. It’s a short distance from Hansaram House, and a short drive from Posio township.
Spring
Weather conditions in May in Lapland can vary but on the bright side: we’ll have around 18 hours of daylight, the sun will rise before 03:00 and set after 21:00 (don’t worry, your rooms have blackout shades for good sleep).
