About the SoulPagesâ„¢ Oaxaca City Retreat
Enjoy six days and five nights in the artistic community of Oaxaca City, Oaxaca, Mexico. We will tour sites of cultural and artistic significance, and meet with local artists. We’ll have four evenings of SoulPages™ sessions led by either Rakefet or Pam. Together we will enjoy the rich traditions, art, culture, food, and festivities of Mexico the SoulPages™ way!
We have limited occupancy, so sign up now while space is still available!
We will explore Oaxaca
In our journey, we will explore Oaxaca for 6 days.
Immerse yourself in the beauty of Mexico as we visit historic sites, art exhibitions, local markets, and artisan shops. Enjoy getting to know local artists who can teach us about ancient culture. Become familiar with work from modern, emerging artists. Our experience in Oaxaca is designed to allow ample time for wandering and internalizing our experiences.
Over the course of our Oaxacan trip, we will also delight in multiple SoulPagesâ„¢ workshops guided by Rakefet Hadar, developer of the SoulPagesâ„¢” method, and Pam Hausner, a SoulPagesâ„¢ mentor.
The SoulPagesâ„¢ workshops will include the seven elements of the visual journal with a focus on the heroine’s journey according to legends and literature. During these workshops, we will work in our visual journals in our special studio space at the Casa Colonial B&B!
Before the trip, we will have two live, online meetings when we create our journals together and meet the other trip participants.
