MURO residencies work exceptionally well for private groups—leadership teams, founder groups, creative collaborators, or curated private parties. The experience provides shared focus, meaningful time together, and an unusual setting for deeper conversation.
We can arrange exclusive residencies for your group of 6–8 people, with dates and craft tailored to your interests and schedule.
Your team learns one craft together. This creates shared challenge, shared discovery, and shared accomplishment—a foundation for deeper collaboration.
Unlike standard offsites filled with scheduled activities, MURO provides structured learning time and unstructured time for organic conversation and connection.
Removing your team from familiar context and placing them in a craft residency creates fresh perspective and opens different kinds of conversation.
The rhythm of craft learning, shared meals, and living together creates space for conversations that don't happen in conference rooms or standard retreats.
Executive teams, board members, or senior leadership seeking focused time for strategic thinking and team cohesion.
Small founder groups or partnerships wanting meaningful time together away from daily operations.
Design teams, creative studios, or collaborative groups seeking inspiration and shared creative experience.
Each participant has their own private bedroom—simple, comfortable, and quiet. Traditional tatami or contemporary furnishings depending on the house. Your personal space for rest and reflection.
Living areas, sitting rooms, and verandas where the group gathers. These are the spaces for conversation, reading, working on notes, or simply being together. Comfortable, inviting, and conducive to connection.
A central table where you share meals together—breakfast before heading to the workshop, dinner in the evening. This is where the group comes together daily, sharing food and conversation.
Most houses feature gardens, courtyards, or views of the surrounding landscape. This connection to nature and place is part of the experience—morning tea overlooking a garden, evening walks in the neighborhood.
