What actually happens once you're here

If you've arrived here from the Autumn website, this is the next layer down.

The programme at Hostačov is intentionally somewhat fluid. This page explains the structure underneath it: how a week begins, how much of your time is actually programmed, how sessions appear, where you sleep, what living together involves, and how people come and go.

Nothing below is meant as a rigid timetable. It is enough structure to make a fairly open residency easy to enter.

🔄 How a week begins

Sunday is our preferred arrival day.

It isn't compulsory, and we know travel does not always cooperate. But concentrating arrivals makes a surprisingly large difference to the life of the house.

People arrive through the afternoon. At 18:30 we have dinner together, introduce newcomers, hear what everyone is working on or curious about, and look at what might happen during the week.

It means that by Monday morning you already have some idea who the other people wandering around the château are.

Coming another day?

That's fine. Sunday is a preference rather than a gate.

Monday to Friday: most of the day is still yours

A normal weekday is primarily a day for living and working at Hostačov.

People write, study, run organisations, take meetings, read, make things, walk, or spend several hours trying to solve a problem with somebody they met at dinner.

Around that, we expect something like:

🌅 an optional morning practice

Usually meditation, movement, breathwork or another practice offered by someone in the house.
