Paint Your Nahual - Protective Animal (November 1)
San Antonio Arrazola - After an evening of reflection and spiritual connection, we invite you to the second day of our unique tour. According to local cultures, each person has an animal that guides and protects them throughout their life. Learn how this animal embodies your unique qualities and energies, offering guidance and protection along your journey.
We will explore the world of alebrijes in San Antonio Arrazola, the fantastical hand-carved and painted creatures that hold a special place in Mexican culture. In an authentic workshop, you’ll have the chance to create your own alebrije with a meaningful twist: discovering your “Nahual” or protective animal!
We will help you connect with your Nahual, enabling you to craft a unique alebrije that reflects your spirit and personality. Our instructor will guide you through the painting process, ensuring your creation is a true representation of yourself and your heritage.
