Your muse is hungry.
An artist residency for the woman who craves her desire. A love letter to the creative life.
Desire isn't selfish. It's your pulse.
Two nights on a wild river ranch. Five nights by the sea in Lombok.
You are done living in a rhythm where your self and your creativity become the scraps left over.
This is where her creativity and life become the story again.
You know the impact and potency you have when you're just given enough time.
You know you've lost your spark, the trust in your instinct, your wildness and aliveness. And you know you have art to make, and a life that feels big.
You refuse to live in a mediocre relationship with yourself and your creativity anymore.
The love language to yourself is a hunger, and this is where you eat.
We deepen your desires and activate them. We bring soulfulness back into your creative life force. This is where you make her the priority again, and protect her.
No strict agenda. Just a woman with her freedom, who gets to rest when she is tired. Eat what nourishes her. Create with play and fuel. And come back to her rhythm and her inner muse. Maybe with a little fire…
Nobody needing you. Everything wanting you. Desire turning back on.
Fear was left at home. Aliveness soaks in through your bones.
The earth gets under your nails and you don't care. You've arrived with like minded women, sat with fire and story, painted with primitive methods and swum in the river with the horses. Spent your mornings slow, your writing practice uninterrupted, and your soul feels awake.
Or a room of your own above the sea in Lombok. A deep immersion in humanity, balanced with self love. Completely removed. The feeling of awe returning. Refusing to put your love of life aside for one more day. You wake and you are warm. We swim at a secluded beach before breakfast, and you're surrounded by the aliveness of life while you are nourished.
At night, fire and women who get it. Someone says the thing she's never said out loud. Then everyone's laughing.
Each residency holds time for you to feel your freedom again. Each with enough planned to spark curiosity, play and a sense of self. Every day with just enough taste, for the woman ready to rise.
Creativity isn't what you do alongside your life.
It's what keeps you alive inside it.
Every land has a soul.

Explore OtherworldEverything she's been craving.
Each place is chosen from lived experience on sacred land. The land that holds you has its own energy, and its own way of piercing straight through the mask.
Earth, horses, fire.
Born from my own time at the ranch, the place that brought me back to life. 113 acres of wild river country in the Northern Rivers: red earth, open sky, the Clarence running cold past the paddocks, and more than 35 horses roaming free.
Our days follow the light and the herd, not the clock.
- The live shoot, held by me. Woman and horse, bone on bone, breathing as one. Witness it, or bring your camera and shoot alongside me. A ceremony on the land with emotional storytelling at its heart: how we make art from our own vision, and trade perfection for truth.
- Ride bareback in the river and swim with the horses
- The Troopy safari. Bush bashing across the land to bring in the herd
- Wild clay. Collect it from the earth and turn it into art
- Paint with earth pigments ground from river rock
- Writing rituals each morning
- Wild women, free. Whisky under the fireflies and stories by the fire
- Creative practices and rituals to ignite you
- Workshop materials for creative expansion to take home, so it doesn't end when you leave
- Fully catered farm food, every meal
Between mountain and sea.
Born from my time living in Lombok and the relationship I've built with the community and village there. A villa by the sea, fifteen minutes from central Kuta, held between the mountains and lush rainforest, with waterfalls close by and secluded beaches that feel like your own private oasis.
Our days move in a spiral, not a straight line. They circle back, deepen and soften as you do.
- Mornings of somatic and breath practice, ocean swims and writing
- Nourishing whole food. Breakfast every day and long group dinners
- A sunset sail
- A live village shoot, run by me, with the community I'm close to. Emotional storytelling at the forefront: how we make art from our own vision, and trade perfection for truth.
- Workshop materials for creative expansion to take home, so it doesn't end when you leave
- A clay workshop with the women of the village
- Fire circles on sacred land
- A daily rhythm and creative practices to rewire you
- Time in between to roam, surf, book a massage, nap or read
You stop putting her aside.
You leave with workshop materials for creative expansion, and something harder to name.
What you truly want is no longer parked for later. You're able, and willing, to act on it. Your awareness comes back online. The art of noticing returns: the light on a wall, the shape of a thought, the pull of an idea worth following.
There's a potency in women moving forward together. Devotion to self, in the air.
“I came in craving something I couldn't quite explain, and I came out with a much deeper understanding of myself. She has this incredible ability to gently guide you towards parts of yourself you may have been searching for all along.”
Tori, photographer“I walk away like I've been to a therapy session I never knew I needed. You have such a gift.”
Mel“Another step closer on my journey home, back to myself, relearning what it means to trust my own intuition. It's going to get so good.”
Sasha, Rogue Artist community“This is where I feel at home. There are no rules or limitations when it comes to how I want to create. Freedom to be myself.”
Megan, Rogue Artist community“I felt like I was meeting my creative twin. So many goosebump moments and deep conversations.”

I'm Lauren. The Rogue Artist.
Artist, photographer, writer, business owner, mother. I've built businesses, raised children and lost touch with my own creative fire along the way.
I found it again at a ranch that brought me back to life. And in Lombok, where I lived alongside village women, immersed in a world that changed how I saw everything.
Those experiences changed me. Now I create immersive creative residencies for women ready to step outside the familiar and feel that kind of aliveness for themselves.
Through wild clay, emotional storytelling in photography, creative writing and the places we travel, I bring women together to make, explore, challenge their perspective and reconnect with the parts of themselves that everyday life can bury.
Extraordinary places. Wild creativity. Room to become more yourself.
I built the residencies I needed, and couldn't find.
Who is this for?
Women only. Intimate on purpose: 12 women at the ranch, 12 in Lombok.
Do I need to be an artist?
No. You just need to want something, and to feel the need to participate in your own life again.
Can I come on my own?
Yes. Most women do. You'll leave knowing everyone a little too well. But if you want to bring a friend, please do. There are shared options available.
Is there a payment plan?
Yes. Pay in full, or a $500 deposit and eight monthly payments from the day you book. Same price, no extra fees.
What if I can't come?
Places aren't refundable, but they are transferable. We'll always do what we can to help you pass your place on.
What's not included?
Flights and travel, travel insurance and personal spending. Full details on each residency page.
Remove yourself from what's sinking you.
Go offline.
Eat nourishing food.
Watch the sun set.
Feel some adventure.
Make art.
Gather with rebellious women.
Taste freedom.
Why? Because you deserve this.
I can offer you realness.
I can offer you truth.
And I can offer you humanity, in a time of disconnect.
This is your inner muse calling. You know what to do.
