Stargaze and explore the world of Mayan astronomy

The stars have secrets to share, and tonight you’ll be part of their story. Let’s embark on a journey through the cosmos together! The beautiful skies above Tulum are the same ones the ancient Mayans studied. We’ll meet up at sunset to observe the skies through a telescope as night falls and the stars emerge. What to expect: • With the help of a laser pointer for guidance, you’ll learn to identify constellations, planets, and various types of stars. • We’ll discuss how the ancient Maya observed and interpreted the sky to create their world view, align their architecture with celestial events, and connect with their spiritual beliefs. • We will be surrounded by one of the most breathtaking skies in the region, the same celestial canvas the Mayans used to develop their calendars. As the sun sets, with telescopes Henry or Stella, you’ll witness the magical transition from day to night while we make a reading of the Mayan Oracle and observe the first stars emerge. This is more than just stargazing—it’s a chance to connect with the universe, the past, and your own inner journey. If you have any questions, please reach out to me! Looking forward on hosting you!

Craft natural remedies at a hidden urban farm in LA

Step into the world of herbal alchemy at Little City Farm, an urban oasis in the heart of LA. This immersive workshop invites you to engage with the land—touch, smell, and work with fresh herbs and citrus—learning the art of balm-making from farm to jar. We begin with a guided farm tour, sharing the story of this special space and its connection to regenerative farming and sustainable practices. A grounding ritual follows, using fragrant herbs to awaken the senses. Then, the magic begins: Harvest & Prep – I’ll show you how to pick fresh rosemary, lemon verbena, and kumquats, clean them, and prepare them for dehydration. Processing & Infusion – Crush dried herbs, measure ingredients, and infuse oils, learning how plants transform into potent healing remedies. This hands-on experience is deeply engaging, yet meditative—an opportunity to slow down, connect with nature, and carry new knowledge forward. You’ll leave with an understanding of the process and a newfound appreciation for the power of plants. You’ll also receive a discount for our farm’s natural products.

Snorkel with Sea Turtles

***Please be aware this experience is great for beginners and those with little experience swimming, but If you have a deep fear of water or the ocean it may impact your experience - we are dive instructors not psychologists*** We will begin our adventure with an ocean-side safety briefing while everyone is fitted for their equipment. Once we chat about how to responsibly and passively interact with turtles and other sea life, we will walk down to the beach and hit the water! We will take it nice and slow so you have a few moments to get accustomed to your gear and you feel confident enough to enjoy the underwater world. This is a natural sea grass bed, which is why we are blessed with turtles :) Please do remember, however, that this is a completely wild experience and we could never guarantee the sighting of a wild animal. 99 times out of 100 we see several baby and adult turtles per tour! At the end of the tour we will transfer your videos to you while we enjoy conversation with a nice view! So what are you waiting for? Let’s go!
