"I had never felt closer to the sky than I did in Oaxaca. I had never experienced such love and wholeness for those that have passed on. I had never experienced welcoming like the open doors that received us. The People of the Clouds have gifted me perspective on how to love; not with my reality, but with my smile. The positivity surrounding our group brought us closer and closer as the days went on. Being so, the spicy terrain, the challenging temperatures, and the muscle soreness were met with humor. We came in as individuals and grew into a family...not wanting the experience to end, and happy to keep our head in the clouds."
- Leander Rodríguez, October 2023 Participant
As a prelude to the Day of the Dead celebrations, we gather in the warm valley of Oaxaca City, then journey to Benito Juárez in the Sierra Norte. Nestled between 2,400 and 3,100 meters above sea level, this Zapotec community, known as the “people from the clouds,” will welcome us into their forests.
As the sun sets we will take in the breathtaking vista of the central valleys from a hanging bridge where a unique energy begins to gather, marking the start of our journey into the underworld. Later, at Stone House (La Casa de Piedra) we will craft traditional chocolate and enjoy a cozy dinner before retreating to our cabin, unwinding in the comforting glow of the fireplace.
