Kai Art Residency x Cohli partner to invite you and your family to a place to connect, belong, and grow.
From April 15th - June 15th, 2026
This Spring, Cohli invites you to experience a two-month family coliving experience at Kai Art Residency, where you’ll find a place that feels like home and where each family member has the space to connect with others, rejuvenate, and experience how supportive it feels to connect with other families who share the same values.Imagine waking up to the crisp mountain air of the Sacred Valley, the golden morning light spilling over the Andean peaks. Your kids run barefoot through the gardens, chasing butterflies, while you sip a warm cup of tea, settling into the slow rhythm of life in this breathtaking place. Maybe you venture to a nearby market, visit the waterfall or Incan trails that surround the property, participate in a family-friendly workshop, or find a quiet corner to get some work done. On weekends, explore the different ancient towns, ruins, Machu Picchu, and more.For two months, we’re transforming Residencia Kai, a creative retreat and cultural hub, into a co-living experience for families. Each family will have their own private house, while the shared studios, gardens, and open-air gathering spaces become the heart of our community. Over these two months, collaborate on a project together, learn about Incan history, and form deep friendships with other families.
