It’s always an adventure that fills our heart to visit the village that opens its doors to us during the Plantas Sagradas retreat in the Sierra Norte of Oaxaca.

It’s incredible to witness its transformation throughout the year and across the seasons — a glimpse during the dry months, yet still filled with its many charms and vibrant, abundant nature.

Siempre es una aventura que nos llena el corazón el visitar el pueblo que nos abre sus puertas durante el retiro Plantas Sagradas en la Sierra Norte de Oaxaca.
Increíble ver su transformación a lo largo del año y sus estaciones, una mirada en unos meses sin lluvia pero igualmente con muchos encantos y naturaleza viva y abundante.

Natural dyeing workshop with the Ruiz family in Teotitlán del Valle — holding and honoring ancestral knowledge in every thread.

These techniques have been passed down through generations, creating a deep symbiosis with nature: understanding the timing of each plant, respecting the cycles of the land, and using resources with awareness and gratitude. Here, color does more than dye wool — it tells stories of territory, community, and living memory.

Interested in this experience? Join us for a day workshop or retreat. Link in bio.

Taller de tintes naturales con la familia Ruiz en Teotitlán del Valle — sosteniendo y honrando los saberes ancestrales en cada hebra.

Estas técnicas se han transmitido de generación en generación, creando una profunda simbiosis con la naturaleza: entendiendo los tiempos de cada planta, respetando los ciclos de la tierra y utilizando los recursos con conciencia y gratitud. Aquí, el color no solo tiñe la lana, también narra historias de territorio, comunidad y memoria viva.

En cada proceso hay paciencia, escucha y respeto — porque teñir naturalmente es también un acto de cuidado hacia lo que nos rodea.

The Árbol del Tule is a Montezuma cypress (Taxodium mucronatum) estimated to be between 1,500 and 2,000 years old. It holds the record for the widest trunk diameter in the world: more than 14 meters (about 46 feet) in diameter and roughly 40 meters (131 feet) in circumference. It stands approximately 35–40 meters (115–130 feet) tall, and its weight is estimated at over 600 tons.

Its name in Náhuatl means “old one of the water,” as it grows near water sources and depends on moist soils. It belongs to the cypress family (Cupressaceae) and is Mexico’s national tree, symbolizing resilience and longevity.

Degustación de mezcales | Curated mezcal tasting for A+P

For the design we began with a custom hand-woven textile from Mitla, slowly adding layers of carved cantera rosa bases, sun-dried red clay. Beans, corn, chiles, and candlelight to create an experience shaped by the land, its materials, and the hands that craft them.
