How It Works
A Live Spaciously residency is designed to be simple to enter and easy to move through.
Clear steps. Minimal effort. Support where it helps, space where it matters. This page outlines what happens if you decide to move forward.
[ What to expect ]How Your Booking Journey Unfolds
Phase 1. Reserving Your Place
You begin by reserving your spot and placing a $500 deposit.
At that point, we ask for just enough information to get oriented. Where you’re hoping to go, what timing works, whether you’re coming on your own or with someone, and what you’d like to feel differently by the end of your stay. You’ll also share a general accommodation budget range.
Your deposit secures your place and signals that we can begin shaping the experience around you.
Phase 2. Understanding Your Needs
Within a 48 hours, you’ll receive a short Residency Design Form.
This is where we learn how you live and work, what kind of space helps you feel at ease, and whether there are any accessibility, dietary, or logistical considerations we should account for. You’ll also share your general accommodation preferences and budget range.
This step isn’t about locking anything in. It’s about orientation.
Phase 3. Shaping Your Stay
You’ll receive two carefully vetted accommodation options selected based on your preferences, availability, and budget range. Depending on what best supports your stay, options may include a private studio or apartment, a shared apartment, a boutique hotel, or a luxury hotel. All options are chosen for safety, comfort, work compatibility, and ease of daily life.
You review the options and choose what feels right. If you’d like to talk anything through, a brief call is available, though never required.
Phase 4. Preparing to Arrive
One month before departure, your remaining balance is due.
From there, you’ll receive what you need to arrive without friction. Your confirmed accommodation details, a personalized City Companion to help you orient quickly, and a simple pre-arrival guide covering packing, arrival logistics, and what to expect.
If you’re joining a cohort and would like to connect ahead of time, introductions are optional. A short checklist helps ensure nothing important is left to the last minute.
By the time you arrive, you should feel informed but not overwhelmed.

What’s Intentionally Not Included
■
Some things are left out on purpose.
Packed schedules
Your days have shape, not pressure. Unstructured time is built in.
Performance expectations
You don’t need to share your story, participate visibly, or prove belonging.
Transformation promises
You’re not here to fix yourself or become someone new. Change may happen. It’s never required.
Constant togetherness
Silence and solitude are honored.
Hustle culture
This is not about maximizing output or engineering breakthroughs.
If You're Still Deciding…
It's normal to wonder if this is responsible, realistic, or allowed.
The truth is, most professionals wait far longer than they should to interrupt sustained pressure. By the time they consider something like this, they've already been running on depleted reserves for months.
You don't need permission from anyone else.
You're not asking for indulgence. You're recognizing that clarity requires conditions—and sometimes those conditions need to change.
If you're ready to explore what a residency might look like for you, book a brief call. No pressure. Just a conversation about whether this fits where you are right now.
[ Pricing, Simplified ]Your Investment
Each residency includes accommodations, airport transfers, group meals and curated experiences, as well as on-the-ground support. Flights are not included.
One-week residencies start at $2,400. Longer stays are offered at a lower per-week rate, reflecting both the reduced cost and the added value of having more time to settle.
A $500 non-refundable deposit reserves your place.
The remaining balance is due 30 days before departure. Payment plans are available.
If your plans change, your deposit may be applied to a future Live Spaciously residency or transferred to another person.
Group size is intentionally limited to keep the experience spacious and unhurried.
Traveling with someone
You’re welcome to attend with a partner or close friend. Each person registers individually and pays the residency fee.
Shared or adjacent accommodations can be arranged based on your preferences and availability, and details are discussed during your design process or call if needed.
[ When you return home ]What Happens After Your Residency
You return to your life clearer.
Not transformed. Not reinvented. Just less mentally crowded.
Most people report easier decision-making, restored confidence in their judgment, reduced internal noise, and a sense of having room to breathe.
And because residencies are time-bounded and repeatable, you don’t have to wait until you’re depleted to do this again.
This isn’t a once-in-a-career event. It’s a practice you can return to.
