This is a small, intentional gathering in San Miguel de Allende designed for people who want to slow down, look closer, and experience a place through creativity and connection.

To notice the beauty in everyday moments.
To follow your curiosity.
To find inspiration in unexpected places.

Throughout the week, we’ll explore different ways of creating — working with our hands, learning from local artisans, sharing stories, and discovering how the people and places around us can shape our own creative practice.

Not to make something perfect.
But to experience the joy of making, the richness of connecting, and the simple pleasure of paying attention.

We’ll be spending a week in San Miguel de Allende, a beautiful colonial-era city in the central highlands of Mexico, known for its vibrant arts scene, rich cultural traditions, and colorful architecture. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, San Miguel was also voted the best city in the world by Travel + Leisure readers in 2026.

We’ll wander cobblestone streets lined with colorful buildings, discover hidden courtyards and artisan shops, browse bustling markets, and take in the sights and sounds of a city that has long attracted artists and makers from around the world.

Our home for the week will be a luxurious private house in the centro where we’ll gather for meals, creative workshops, and conversation, with plenty of space to unwind and enjoy each other's company.

Mornings begin slowly — coffee, quiet, journaling, or rest. Some days we’ll ease into gentle yoga or a shared start to the day.

Midday is for exploring — through workshops, visits with local artisans, and discovering the creative traditions of San Miguel and beyond.

Evenings we gather — delicious meals, meaningful conversation, rooftop chats, and time to reflect or continue what you’ve started.

Over the course of the week, we’ll experience:

• a guided inspiration walk through San Miguel, practicing the art of noticing

• visits to local artists, studios, and workshops

• hands-on experiences with traditional Mexican crafts and techniques

• a hand quilting workshop with Laura and a beaded jewelry session with Allison

• a cooking class celebrating regional ingredients and culinary traditions

• time in nature — wandering the botanical gardens and soaking in nearby thermal baths

• shared meals, storytelling, and opportunities to connect with fellow travelers

There will also be space woven throughout — time to browse markets and galleries, linger over coffee, explore the city at your own pace, or simply rest.

You’ll leave with more than memories.

You’ll leave with things you’ve made, friendships you’ve formed, and a little more wonder for the world around you.

• handmade jewelry and keepsakes from our creative workshops

• recipes and techniques from our cooking class

• inspiration gathered from local artists, artisans, and the places we explore

• new friendships and connections that extend beyond our time together

And maybe more importantly — a renewed sense of curiosity, a deeper appreciation for the beauty in everyday moments, and a reminder that creativity is as much about paying attention as it is about making.

If you…

• feel creatively stuck or disconnected and want to rediscover your curiosity and inspiration

• love making things with your hands, or are curious to try something new

• want to slow down, be present, and find beauty in the everyday

• enjoy exploring new places through art, culture, food, and meaningful experiences

• crave connection and conversation with curious, open-minded people

• want to step outside your daily routine and reconnect with yourself through creativity, movement, and reflection

You don’t need to be an artist or even consider yourself “creative” to join us. This experience is for anyone who wants to explore their curiosity, try something new, and discover what happens when we give ourselves the space to notice, connect, and create.
