MEXICO CITY
SONGWRITING RETREAT
BOOK A CALL
Immerse yourself in a transformative 2-day songwriting retreat at Jardín Prim in Proyectos Públicos, where Mexico City's rich cultural history collides with its vibrant contemporary art scene.
ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE
This magnificently preserved 1905 Porfirian mansion now hosts Salón ACME during Art Week and serves as a cutting-edge creative hub. With guidance from award-winning artist Alarke, you'll create and professionally record an original song while staying overnight in this architectural gem where historical grandeur meets modern artistic innovation.
Enjoy meditation sessions, personalized creative coaching, and meals at the on-site Taverna restaurant. Leave with a demo recording, renewed creative direction, and an unforgettable experience at the intersection of Mexico's storied past and its dynamic artistic future.
BOOK A CALL
Most activities—from songwriting to recording, meditation, and overnight stay—occur within this creative complex, while you'll have opportunities to explore the surrounding neighborhood for some meals and during your free time, providing both a seamless creative experience and a taste of Mexico City's vibrant culture.
CITY
MEXICO
Today, this same building stands at the forefront of Mexico City's arts renaissance—hosting Salón ACME during Art Week, electronic music festivals, fashion events, and housing numerous creative workshops. Alberto Kalach's contemporary greenhouse on the roof creates a striking dialogue between historical and modern architecture, while the building's thoughtful restoration emphasizes what locals call "the poetics of ruin"—preserving layers of history rather than erasing them.
RENAISSANCE
ARTS
Your experience takes place primarily within Proyecto Público Prim, one of Mexico City's most spectacular venues where historical preservation meets contemporary artistic expression. This architectural gem in Colonia Juárez was built in 1905 by engineer Alberto Robles Gil during the Porfiriato era, featuring magnificent details like majestic staircases and generous courtyards that have witnessed over a century of Mexico's cultural evolution.

THE EXPERIENCE
I took a leap of faith and did what many thought was impossible:
📌 I booked a month-long trip to Cuba to create my own artist residency.
📌 I wanted to write music, study Cuban rhythms, and be inspired — no matter the constraints.
I followed my intuition, and it led me to moments I could never have planned:
Painting by the Malecón with the sea breeze on my face.
Singing to an impromptu audience who gathered under the Havana night sky.
Riding horses through Viñales’ tobacco valleys and chasing rainbows with Cuban cowboys.
Writing songs on a balcony, overlooking the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
What started as a rejection became an adventure beyond what I could have imagined.

THE TURNING POINT
For years, I believed that struggle was necessary to create a meaningful music career. While I had many career successes, I would also enviously watch friends from the sidelines touring the world and headlining festivals. Then one season, I hustled, applied to renowned music residencies, and poured everything I had into my applications — only to be met with rejection after rejection. I was told "No" repeatedly, and it hurt. I won one local grant, but I felt stuck, watching others achieve their dreams while I spun in circles.
One day, I realized:
🚨 I had to stop waiting for someone else to validate me.
🚨 I had to create my own opportunities.

THE CHALLENGE
Sometimes the most beautiful, free, and creative moments come not in spite of limitations, but because of them. My experience in Cuba taught me that the only person who can fully recognize your worth and open doors to your dreams is you.
I created a once-in-a-lifetime artist residency in Cuba out of sheer will, faith, and a desire to say “yes” to myself. And I can help you do the same for your creative vision.
