What and why
at m o r i s e n a ?
::: morisena is a concept, an
invitation to live and work for a while in a group, working on a
project of our own choice.
::: The initiative got born out
of love for travelling and exploring cultures,
working together and sharing knowledge, customs and ways of life. It
is a personal
initiative of Iuliana
Varodi,
after twelve years of living, working and travelling abroad. The centre
is being set up with the kind, generous support
of her
parents, friends, volunteers and local companies.
::: Currently located in Transylvania, we
host projects, retreats and workshops as a
context for exploring
the local culture while living in a small community. Artists, musicians, thinkers, writers,
ecologists,
yoga teachers and
volunteers are welcome to apply for joining one of our proposed
projects, by
sending an e-mail with their plans,
motivations, a CV and (for artists) a portfolio. Proposals for
individual projects and residencies can be submitted as
well.
:::
The main opportunity
during our projects is to exchange knowledge and expertise, to learn
from each other, sharing a space with a
charming in between urban-rural character. The main aim is to enrich
each other and the local community through genuine interest and
participation in the process.
::: morisena also aims to raise interest among the local
youth in contemporary art, ecology, organic farming, the potential of
tradition and crafts as resources for self sustainability. We seek to have a healthy, happy and responsible
attitude towards our own body and mind,
towards our fellow travelers and towards the surrounding nature and
culture.
:::
During their stay at morisena,
visitors are kindly invited and expected to share the lifestyle
of the centre
and to
participate
in the daily chores. A contribution to cover the daily
costs will be welcome -
the amount depending
on the joined activity and on the duration, season
etc - as a mean to partake in the providing of our resources as a
collective.
