Sacred Celebration: Día de los Muertos in Oaxaca with Baxter Bell & Melina Meza

This bucket-list retreat gathers us in Oaxaca as the city comes alive in the days leading up to the Día de los Muertos celebrations. Stepping away from daily routines and into the rhythm of this extraordinary place, we’ll open our senses and immerse ourselves in the beauty, traditions, and rich culture of this historic town. Daily yoga practices, cooking classes, mezcal tastings, and explorations of local art offer a vibrant way to experience Oaxaca. Along the way, we’ll savor exquisite cuisine, admire colorful textiles and costumes, and witness traditions that honor ancestors and loved ones who have passed. Shared meals, conversation, and cultural discovery create opportunities for connection—to each other, to history, and to our own roots. You’ll leave inspired by the artistry and reverence of this culture, and nourished in every sense by one of the world’s great culinary destinations.
