The first full summer of Hostačov's next chapter. From June through early September, the château becomes a landscape for retreats, residencies, gatherings, weddings, shared meals, quiet work, and temporary worlds.
Some periods are open. Some private. Some by application.
Hostačov is a 16th-century château in the Czech Highlands, ~70 minutes from Prague.
Across the season, people from unusually different domains keep finding themselves in the same rooms — researchers, technologists, artists, founders, contemplatives, facilitators, families, wanderers. Serious work alongside good company. Intellectual depth alongside embodied presence. Enough structure to hold things; enough openness for the unexpected.
This house shelters daydreaming, and the daydreaming, hopefully, in time shelters the house.
What follows is the map of the season. A living document. The structure below will hold; details fill in over the coming weeks.

May 30 – June 17 · Open
Two and a half weeks of open inhabitation, anchored by Roots & Futures (June 12–14), a curated weekend on regeneration, education, and systems change, co-hosted with Vladimir Dolejš and Nikol Cvrčková. Around it: a brigada working week (June 4–7), an open residency (June 8–11), and decompression days (June 15–17). Come for a few days, a week, or the whole arc.
June 19–21 · Closed
Private wedding, venue closed to other guests.
July 1 – July 22 · Open / by application
A month-long residency held lightly, oriented around the territory where technology, philosophy, and complex systems thinking meet. Split into two halves by a company retreat (July 10–12). The Human-Aligned AI Summer School in Prague (July 13–17) creates a natural flow of people between the two.
Lead holder and thematic anchor being confirmed — contributor interest welcome.
