3 full days
In an ancient cave
Under the Full Moon

In June 2024
With 20 other women
that have agreed

Join us for a 3 day odyssey
June 19-22, 2024
Diamante Waterfall
Diamante Valley, Costa Rica
The core intention is to activate the astral grid in connection to the earth by reconnecting humanity back to respectful communion with nature - one gathering at a time, starting with the sacred waters of our sacred Diamante Valley.
We are 2 women, artists and servants of the waters, two bestfriends, residents of the region of Diamante Valley, humbled by her POWER, and her WATERS, and we come together to activate the sacred caves of Diamante Falls, so we can hear her message and sing to her song.
This gathering is a blueprint for the celebration of solstices and other astral events.
We learn to listen to the message of the caves, a liminal space to connect to our ancestors, to the earth, to the waters.
Day 1: Outwards - Open & Connect. Go to the cave.
Day 2 Inwards : Ceremony & Self Inquiry.
Day 3 Upwards : Solstice. Cleanse.
Day 4 Downward: We return back down.

Join us for a Special Community Circle- this coming Wednesday!
In these challenging times we have been craving re- connection.
Momentom Collective founders Gabrielle Bonneville and John Early are hosting a conversation on the origins of Momentom Collective and why we think that the medicine of art and community is so potent in times of crisis.
There will be a Q and A on the call- so if you want to get to know us more, or ask any questions about our season ahead-we would love to meet you and hear your voice.
Join the conversation. See you Wednesday November 15. ❤️🙏

“ We are as much alive as we keep the Earth alive.”- Chief Dan George- Our 6th Green Residency is being held in Costa Rica and is our offering to meet this invitation from our ancestors. In March of 2024 we gather at the @protopia_community to deepen our language of love and respect with our earth, our home. The earth remembers. She remembers us from the times before there was plastics in our ocean. From the time before we let convenience become our comfort. As human beings we have been gifted with the capacity to dream and to create reality as we wish it to be, and also with an ego that seeks to have itself known. We see this in our industrial policies of how we live in modern western society, and we are also seeing the pendulum beginning to swing back around again. We are coming back to the land. To the truth of who we are. Scholarships and applications are now live, and if you have ever thought that there must be a better way-this is the place for you to learn the tools that become the solutions. Some of the re-membering workshops we will be engaging with as part of our permaculture certification are: 🌿Intro to Biology and Ecology-Soil types(theory, practical exercises indoor and outside) 🌺Botany and basic plant ID andPropagation(theory, practical examples indoor and outdoor) 🪷Compost, Soil building(theory, practical exercise outside)Gardening Methods(theory, practical exercise outside). 🔥Elements. Universal Principles (theory, guided meditation) 🍃Earth Altar making(theory, demonstration, collective practice outside). 🎋Connection with Plant Spirits Animal Spirits(theory, guided meditation, individual practice outside
“This is my circus and these are my monkeys.” - unknown
For over 7 years Momentom Collective has been sharing the gift of circus with local communities and children, and this past week we got to connect here in NIcaragua.
The basis of circus is a place to be in extravagant expression, a place to unmask and reveal the essence of who you are, without needing to fit a mold or conform.
The circus is where we enter the childlike wonder of relationship to life, and why the medicine of this art is so valuable in its reminder- to not take ourselves so seriously.
The children are our great teachers of this.
To get out of our own way, out of our own head, and into the heart of each moment.
To be silly, present, and curious…
Thank you to the Believe academy in San Juan Del for inviting us this week for an afternoon, and for letting us share our joy with you.
Social Circus is about the reciprocity of expression and creativity.
When we give our time and our hearts, what we receive in return is beyond words.
Gracias to our future generations, who remind us that if we aren’t playing, we aren’t doing it right.

How can we become stewards of this earth, not just inhabitants of it?
As we move into our new future we are able to look at the industrial agriculture, mono- cropping, harsh chemical pesticides, and the urban sprawl invading natural ecosystems and habitats, as all points of reconsiderations as we begin to dream what a more natural way of living looks and feels like.
Our ancestors knew the way, and so we endeavor to build bridges between their knowledge, and our technology.
What does it mean to build a conscious community?
This question is in our hearts and our minds, and is why the MC #greenresidency was activated.
It is why we understand the potency of connected living to create new realities, and the integrity and necessity of a reality that puts the priority of nature on equal footing as the priority of self.
We are listening.
We are creating a new home where our needs and the needs of the land are built together-
@projectka.earth
This project was born out of our desire to use our art to be regenerative and sustainable, bringing humans, nature, and art back together as one.
This is the future, it is being built by each present moment, and the foundation is honoring nature.
We are not separate.
This is our primal remembrance.

Momentom culture is rooted in the underground culture of circus arts, and circus is about stripping down to our most pure essence and then amplifying it back out through theater.
Sacred geometry is the map to the puzzle of miracles that is the truth of who we are.
This nature of reality has perplexed mankind for most of existence, and sacred geometry allows us to perceive the building blocks, which allows for more consciousness into our creative fields.
Nature has within her the most refined details and patterns to continually express life on earth- patterns of which we are all interconnected with.
Sacred geometry is a quantum science that proves our direct connection with all of life. Our direct relationship, and shared design.
It is also the study of amplification and deduction. Those things can appear so intricate, but when you break down the root of their shape, often it is a single pattern repeating itself in a multitude of ways.
This is how art relates to the human experience…it is the same pattern- but just personified and manifested in seemingly different ways.
Shout out to friend and co- collaborator of many residencies, Fernando Blanco- @vequium -has mastered the relationship to the numerical balance that resides in all things.
We are so lucky to work alongside someone who is able to blend his love of bamboo building with the understanding of inherent structures and shapes that compliment the organic design of this planet, and don’t compete with it.
We are born from and celebrate our return to balance.

Sound residency with David Satori { @davidsatori } finished one week ago, and once again we were reminded that time doesn’t really exist:)
When we get people from all around the world in the same space to celebrate and explore their ecstatic passion for music - worlds within worlds are created.
Time bends to meet the comprehension and depth of each moment.
For the time of 2 weeks together we created so many unforgettable memories and a few of the ways we upleveled together were :
✨ making 3 original tracks as a group, with @davidsatori , @naobamusic , @izzy_wise - we already have one on our Spotify!
✨ everyone performing something totally wild and out of the comfort zone in our passionately untalented cabaret
✨ learning the art and importance of “vibe” sending from David - for the creative process
✨ an insane back to back Dj set with all of our guest teachers, where we came together in dance medicine
✨ Aaron of Anatolia and Janet (@driemmusic ) - you know if you know
*the beautiful @elisabavamusic source channeling during ecstatic dance with @izzy_wise
✨all of the incredible spontaneous jams and creations within Residency
✨ @mario.e.nobre , @capture_myspirit , @tonytobias.kinesis capturing so perfectly the nuance of each moment
✨ hip hop yoga with Jonny - @opt2mystic_
✨ going on an incredible musical journey with Izzy and David where we deep dive in the technical space of Ableton and also organic song collaboration from The ground up.
This Sound Residency- the second of the season is the final residency - but not final event- of Momentom’s 7th season, and what a way to begin the year.
Good music comes only from great listening, and to all the amazing human beings who listened to their intuition to come on this ride, truly we are so touched by your trust.
What a beautiful season this has been, and what an incredible reminder that our celebration of this life- together- is our great prayer of gratitude.
Gracias 🙏

Honouring the essence of life- music.
Videography - Mario Nobre @mario.e.nobre
Original Song - Mario Nobre
Back up vocals - Elisa - @elisabavamusic
Co-creation.
This is the essence of life and when we come together in a sense of play and inspiration, we get to be the vehicles for this beauty to unfold.
We join together to ignite with the fire in our hearts, minds, and spirit, and bring it to expression through our physical temples.
This past week we walked through the fundamentals of the collaborative process, making a song together, and learning to LISTEN.
Listen to the energy, listen to the wisdom, the space between the notes, our breath, and each other.
We brought an imprint of a moment to existence through music- and now we can all hold that memory together.
Blending voice and technology, the power of group focus, fuelled by bliss, and many offside jokes- we walked away from this week with an original track.
Gracias @davidsatori, for taking us on a journey back to the realization of the artistry that lives inside each one of us.

Residency experiences are what Momentom is known for, but like all things- over time they evolve.
From January 22- February 22 we’re opening up MC culture and lifestyle but without the jam packed tutorial style of our residency.
Momentom Village is a one month artist incubator, a space to connect with other digital nomads, artists, creatives, out of the box thinkers and of course- circus freaks :)
This concept is about turning on the spotlight to YOU, where we open up our programming board to the guests of the village- not just our teachers and staff- and give you the opportunity to share your gifts!
This is an opportunity to practice a workshop idea you have, to collaborate with another artist in our music studio, lead a yoga class, or brush up on your painting skills in our visual art studio.
Just 5 minutes from a surf beach we have boards available and the waves are always going.
Momentom Village - artist incubator- is our one month lead up to Envision also.
A time to come and hang in Nicargua with us and allow for all of your inspiration to come to the surface and express itself through photo shoots, ecstatic dances, and music jams, and anything else we can think of.
This concept is about observing the talents that are present and coming together to expand ourselves and our network and our ideas.
Come join us to connect. Collaborate. And create. We are taking bookings now.
