RECLAIMING VALUE:
SACRED VALLEY DESIGN IMMERSION

Peru | June 15-19, 2026

Co-curated with Empathy, and offered in partnership with the Institute of Design, Murmur Ring has curated a four-day immersion in Peru’s Sacred Valley.

Join us
  • Explore design implications in a region undergoing rapid change and apply learnings to your practice

  • Forage native plants and enjoy a multi-course meal with world-renowned chefs at MIL Centro

  • Uncover opportunities to collaborate with fellow cohort members across industry, expertise, and locations

  • Workshop with master weavers and the region's most established ceramicists

  • Discover how socially responsible ventures and community-driven platforms can amplify your impact

A meaningful alternative to conferences, retreats, and offsites, the Reclaiming Value immersion is your chance to exchange ideas, reflections, and best practices with a global cohort of designers in the real world.

See what our 2025 cohort experienced and the insights they uncovered together to better understand how this experience will impact your personal and professional practices.

2025 Immersion

What you’ll gain

  • Participants will find inspiration at the confluence of traditional and contemporary practices while collectively considering pathways to sustained growth that benefit the region and preserve its resources.

  • Strategic discourse will address the cohort’s most pressing challenges and result in frameworks to inform effective collaboration and scaling goals upon return to the office.

  • We will use nature as a teacher, connecting biological systems to our human-designed platforms, setting the foundation for a sustainable future in our communities and personal practices.

“Behind each of the models we’ve seen is a human story that is central to the value exchange. We can think about economic impact of global knowledge exchanges, but the exchange of humanity, emotion, tenderness is also vital. One cannot exist without the other.”
