loving lupita
soulful get away with a chance to Shrine
san miguel de allende
december 10 - december 19
as winter leans in with a vengeance and the commercial crescendo
of the holidays starts way too soon in every town USA,
come away with me
to a land of enchantment,
warm easy weather,
charming heartfelt traditions,
delicious meals, joyous music and a birthday fiesta
to end all fiestas,
december 12 the feast day of
our lady of guadalupe.
christmas season in san miguel
is a time of vibrant celebrations where
devotional reverence and spontaneous joy combine
for a uniquely heartfelt focus on the holidays.
the town will come alive with
a traditional christmas fair at plaza civica,
a living nativity in the jardin,
the sweet celebration of our lady of guadalupe,
processions, posadas, castillos and always, the unexpected.
here is just a smattering of the savoring
we will share....
a journey into the colorlicious mosaic world of
an inspiring Q & A replete with mescal toasts
and the queen of recreating herself,
founder and creator of
patron saint of living the dream in san miguel.
a day trip to the wondrous
woodcarvers of Apaseo El Alto,
Guanajuato
a sunday pilgrimage to
one of the most cherished devotional destinations in
the southern hemisphere.
a visit and buying spree to my favorite off the beaten path
and finally....
i am pleased to announce my dear friend
altarista extraordinaire
will be joining our tour and offering an optional
lupita-inspired nicho workshop
combining her love for all things mary
in the style of her exquisite encrusted memory jugs.
a rare opportunity to share a week in
san miguel de allende,
and the chance to capture memories,
talismans and tokens of devotion in a personal
nicho to cherish forever.
do you love all things mary?
come away with us!
mornings with mary
trailblazing on the path of love
