Oaxaca, Mexico 🍃 Intemate journey with purpose: Remedios del Bosque Retreat-Workshop

👋 Hola, Hola Welcome to my profile, I am Malena, proudly Oaxacan, I have a university degree in tourism administration, a couple of years working for hotels and the private sector and I am currently becoming independent as an expert in planning experiences and trips that can contribute to the development of local communities. The world of medicinal plants is an exciting topic where science and popular culture converge. Traditionally, herbal medicine has been considered a basic therapeutic alternative for a vast sector of the rural population that does not have access to modern allopathic medicine. However, traditional herbal medicine, from its evolution to the present, has been used for conventional medicine. On this journey we will enter a community in the valleys of Oaxaca where we will connect with medicinal plants through syntropic agriculture (based on understanding natural processes to apply them to agriculture) and we will learn to make our own herbal products. This workshop-retreat will be taught by experts with more than 12 years of experience, women who inspire and who impart a message that will lead us to understand our own nature and align it with the nature of our environment. Finally, the message from the creators of this workshop is: “Medicinal plants are part of our lives and their uses are an ancestral legacy that is part of us. We have created these medicinal agroforestry and syntropic herbal workshops because to work with medicinal plants you have to know them, taste them, smell them and know how to process them in order to extract the purest and most medicinal parts. It is important to learn to interact with them to make them our allies and our healers.” WHAT INCLUDES 💰 🍽️ Breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. 📝 Theory and practice + Materials for workshops. 🚗 Transportation Oaxaca City-Headquarters of the Workshop-Retreat 🛏️ Accommodation in comfortable shared rooms SOMETHING ELSE YOU WILL WANT TO KNOW: Our host community will be an indigenous Zapotec community and something characteristic of these cultures is that they are excellent artisans, and farmers and we may be interested in buying something from them. The hotels where we will stay are oriented toward rural tourism, so they offer us a unique proposal, connected to the cultural and natural elements of the community. They also offer us holistic services such as massages, temazcal, yoga classes, as well as recreational activities such as hiking. It is a great opportunity to achieve a cultural exchange and build roots among women of the world. I'm really looking forward to meeting you on this adventure.
