Retiro de Flores
February 2027
Certain land-spaces in our archipelago of Puerto Rico hold a particular power, vibrancy, and magic. The Bosque Seco de Guánica is one of those places. The Retiro de Flores is for kin with roots in Puerto Rico who feel the call of the land. We are gathering as a sisterhood in Guánica to commune with this ancient, biodiverse dry forest alongside the Caribbean sea.
Join a weekend of floral tea ceremony, farm-to-table meals, be guided through the forest, creating our own flower essences, and more.

As your main host, I am looking forward to holding this space of celebratory land and sisterhood connection. Living on the west coast of Puerto Rico, tending to the 4 directions of my medicine wheel garden, I believe in a deeply embodied practice of listening to the elements of the land. Flowers hold such a sweet and vibratory presence that I am excited to share with you all through this experience.
