HOW IT WORKS:
DAY 1) We meet for jungle tour at the Pemex Gas Station in Sayulita at 10am each day. Then as a group, we head to Natikari jungle reserve & ranch. Tour begins at 10:30 and ends at 1:30. We then sit at the jungle palapa and have a group share and a light lunch of fresh fruits and refreshments. Note that cell phones are not allowed to be carried on us during the tour as screens take away from the sensory experience of the jungle. This includes no photos or videos.
- From there, we head to the studio for the art workshop which begins as 3pm, and ends around 6 pm.
NOTE: The DEC 3rd workshop includes a group dinner at the Buho Villa in San Pancho.
VALUE IS $30 USD
DAY 2) We go straight into our second workshop at 3 pm -6 pm, at the studio. On this day we carry on the inspiration from the jungle tour and deepen our art practice.
YOU'LL GET:
- Guided jungle tour and abstract art workshops.
- Demonstrations and hands-on learning.
- All art supplies needed for the workshops.
- Dinner on Day 1 and snacks on Day 2.
