NÓMADA X RITUAL

This retreat was born from a shared desire to slow down, to step away from the noise, and to return to the simple act of looking with intention. Over these days together, we’ll use photography as a way to listen, to question, and to reconnect with the voice that brought us to this craft in the first place.

Hacienda San Andrés, surrounded by fields and volcanoes, is the setting for this pause — a place where time moves differently, where conversation, silence and practice can coexist. This guide is here to help you prepare so that, once you arrive, you can let go of logistics and fully inhabit the experience.

We’re grateful you’re joining us.
We look forward to creating, reflecting and growing together.
