Five Fun Facts about Mexico City: ​

​

It has an Aztec city underneath. The ancient Aztec capital, Tenochtitlán, is literally buried beneath the city, and the National Palace sits directly on top of the ruins of Aztec emperor Moctezuma's palace.

It has the only authentic royal castle in North America. Chapultepec Castle is perched on a 67-meter hill, it was built in 1785, housed Mexican emperors and presidents, and is now a museum.

It ranks only second to London for the highest number of museums. With over 150 museums, including the iconic Frida Kahlo Museum and the stunning, metallic Soumaya Museum, Mexico City is one of the best cities in the world for museums.

It has a vast network of ancient canals. In the southern borough of Xochimilco, you can ride on colorfully painted trajineras (flat-bottomed boats) to see the Chinampas, an ancient floating garden.
 

It has a massive amount of green space. Chapultepec Park is a massive urban oasis in the heart of the metropolis. It is famously twice the size of New York City's Central Park.

What Will We Make?

Our inspiration for this retreat is the visual journals of the artist Frida Kahlo, who made her diary into an amazing work of art.  On this retreat, we will give ourselves permission to experiment with new ways to express ourselves, by bringing our words and images together.  All you need is a sketchbook, a few writing and drawing supplies, and an open mind and heart.  You will return home with a new perspective and a practice to continue in your daily life.
