Origin

inspiration

from the Latin inspirare, to breathe into

in- into  +  spirare to breathe

Spirit, breath, spiritus. The same word. This is a place to find a deeper, more alive you.

Five days. An intimate gathering for world builders.

Your passage into a way of being that nourishes and inspires you.

We begin in the city, an exquisite immersion in sound, tea, and ritual.

Once we are through the threshold, we ascend into the mountains of Tepoztlán for renewal.

And finally, a return to your life, full of creative enthusiasm.

The Passage

Sunday · Arrival

The Gathering

Dinner at a neighborhood taquería, then an evening at Traum for smooth jazz and slow-poured tea. The circle finds its tone.

Monday · Descent

The Journey

Contrast therapy at Koti, cold plunge and sauna. A tea ceremony to mark the doorway. Then the mushroom journey, within an exquisite sound field. Tea again on return.

Tuesday · Integration

The Wandering

A slow morning and a nourishing smoothie. Over brunch, the journey is shared aloud. Then Chapultepec and the Museo de Antropología, or the city on your own terms.

Wednesday · Purification

The Fire

South to Tepoztlán. The Inipi runs from noon to three: the lodge, the stones, the song. Afterward the pool, then dinner at Parcela. The night closes in song with Benny Oyama, voice and guitar.

Thursday · Return

The Long Way Home

A closing circle in the mountains. Return to the city, or linger. The house is held through Friday morning.

Woven Throughout

01

Tea ceremony to mark each threshold, before and after

A small, held container, and a deeply intentional pace

World class meals
