Stay
Our group will be staying in an iconic Michelin guide boutique hotel right in the city center. Grana BNB is a gorgeous, 18th century mansion renovated and decorated with traditional and botanical touches, plus lots of love and attention to detail. Featuring a stunning courtyard, antique fountain, beautiful hammocks, and lovely common areas for the group to relax and connect. Quiet and private, yet steps away from city action, bustling markets and endless art galleries. Quintessential Oaxaca.
Agenda
Most mornings will begin with a yoga/movement practice & sound bath on the rooftop terrace boasting breathtaking views of the city and the mountain range. Unless we have an early morning excursion departure.
Followed by a delicious breakfast with all dietary whims catered to your preference. Each day will allow for ample time to explore and connect. With time split between relaxing and exploring on your own, and thoughtful group activities + workshops, meant to ignite your creativity and awaken your senses.


Food + Culture
Oaxaca is warm, vibrant, inspired, and has long upheld the reputation of being Mexico’s heart beat when it comes to culture, art and flavor. Its colorful cobblestone streets are filled with Michelin star restaurants dishing out traditional and ancestral cuisine, art galleries, artisans selling handcrafted goods, markets of all kinds, and street food vendors with every treat imaginable.
We will enjoy 3 group dinners in some of the best restaurants in Oaxaca, selected by yours truly!
Oaxaca is also known to be the proud capital of mezcal, producing more than 70% of mezcal in Mexico! Mezcal has been produced in Oaxaca since the pre-hispanic era. The ancient Aztecs revered the agave plant and extracted its sap for a fermented beverage used during ceremonies.
Our group will visit a family owned, small mezcal distillery for a tasting and a briefing on mezcal production. Some varieties are NOT exported. Ever.
Art + Culture
In between wandering the stunning streets, shopping and sampling exquisite flavors, we will visit heritage sites and magical local artisans in the valley. You won’t walk away empty handed! Bear that in mind as you pack your suitcases.

For the Spirit
We will be treated to a special workshop with our local friends – more details to come! Expect nothing less than real magic.
