The Sacred Migration
A Yoga, Nature, and Mexican Culture based Adventure Retreat coinciding with the Monarch Butterfly Migration
Morelia, Mexico
February 2nd-8th, 2018
////SOLD OUT
I am seeking the nature bound, the gypsy spirited, adventurous yogis. We begin our journey in Morelia, Mexico’s best kept secret, a UNESCO world heritage site with more than 200 historical buildings all constructed from Pink stone, and a place of open armed, warm hearted people. There is vibrancy, richness, and magic around every corner.
Morelia will be our home for the week, as we will venture 3 hours east to the tiny village of Pacheros, where we will begin our Monarch Butterfly migration experience. We will stay overnight at a quaint bed and breakfast at the foot of the butterfly conservation forest where we will partake in a moon phase ceremony, dive deep into the forest, and connect to our true nature. In the morning, we'll prepare for a guided horseback ride up the mountains of Cerro Pelon to bare witness to one of nature’s most incredible miracles, the Monarch butterfly migration. There will millions of butterflies. It is bound to be a life changing experience.
There will be time in Morelia to explore, shop, and enjoy the sights. There is so much to see and do that you might never want to leave.
Our final trip will be Patzcuero. An ancient highland town with both a Colonial and Indigenous character and charm. The clean and crisp mountain air, surrounded by forests and lakes, set against the backdrop of azure-blue skies will leave you breathless. Together, we’ll travel by boat to visit the tiny Island of Isla Janitzio, where we will browse local artisans and indulge in an Indigenous style lunch.
Of course, depending on the weather, and local events, there may be some extra surprises along the way. This will be an unforgettable, bucket list kind of experience. If you are enamored with nature, culture, delicious food, and striking art, this is the journey for you.
