Residencies offer an opportunity to spend an extended period of time immersed in the rhythms of JAANYMILI.
Whether you are an artist, healer, educator, practitioner, writer, builder or simply someone longing for space to deepen into a project or season of life, residencies invite a slower and more intentional way of being.
Participants are welcomed into the everyday flow of community life while also being supported to explore their own creative, professional or personal aspirations.
Residencies are shaped through relationship, mutual alignment and the unique gifts each person brings.
We believe that when people are nourished to create, reflect and share their wisdom, the whole community benefits.
Possible Residencies

Residency Length
Initial Residency — 2 to 4 weeks
An opportunity to experience the rhythms of JAANYMILI, build relationships and explore whether this style of living feels aligned.
Extended Residency — 1 to 3 months
Available through mutual agreement following an initial residency period. This allows both the individual and the community to move slowly, communicate openly and establish healthy expectations.
Longer-term pathways may naturally emerge from here, though there is no expectation that they must.
Residency Dates
Residencies are welcomed throughout the year through conversation and mutual alignment.
Current Intake
Future Intakes
Spring 2026 — September to November
Summer 2026/2027 — December to February
Autumn 2027 — March to May
Winter 2027 — June to August
Residencies are shaped through relationship, community capacity and the unique intentions of each resident. We recommend applying 4–8 weeks prior to your preferred arrival date to allow space for conversation, planning and preparation.
Guided by Relationship
Residencies are held by the people who call JAANYMILI home.
Depending on the focus of your residency, you may find yourself learning alongside practitioners, builders, gardeners, artists, educators, animal carers and community members who generously share their lived experience and skills.
At the heart of all residencies is Ashleigh Hart, who gently weaves together the threads of village life, helping residents connect with the people, projects and practices that align with their interests and intentions.
JAANYMILI is not built upon one teacher or one way of being. Rather, it is an ecosystem of shared wisdom, where learning flows through relationship, participation and the everyday moments of life together.
What does the residency contribution include
Residency contributions support both the practical holding of your stay and the time, energy and care involved in welcoming people into the rhythms of JAANYMILI.
This includes camping within designated residency areas, access to shared community spaces, orientation into daily life and guidance in connecting with the people, projects and experiences that align with your residency intentions.
Residents are invited into the everyday flow of community life — learning through participation, observation, conversation and shared experience.
Food, private sessions and specific workshops or gatherings may be arranged separately where relevant.
