Restore yourself like Kintsugi
There are moments that invite us to slow down, look within, and discover a new kind of beauty in what we have lived through.This October, Guaycura and Todos Santos become the setting for six days of art, writing, contemplation, ocean, and carefully curated experiences designed to help us recognize what this season of life has left behind—and choose what we want to carry with us into what comes next.
October 21–26, 2026
5 nights · 6 days
Hotel Galería Guaycura · Todos Santos, Baja California Sur
Limited availability · Intimate group
The cracks are part of the story
Rather than hiding them, it integrates them into the story of the piece. The marks remain, yet they transform what was once broken and reveal a different kind of beauty.
From this philosophy comes Mend Yourself Like Kintsugi: an invitation to look within, acknowledge the marks left by experience, and rebuild from there.
Not to become who we once were.
But to give our story a new place—and make room for what comes next.
Six days, one journey
Each day unfolds at a different rhythm, moving between creativity, contemplation, nature, and connection. A journey that begins with a pause and gradually moves toward observation, restoration, integration, and the harvesting of what has been lived.

The table is also part of the journey
Local ingredients, Pacific fish and seafood, vegetables from Todos Santos gardens, infusions, and golden ingredients like turmeric, honey, and olive oil converse with the essence of Kintsugi.
A first table where we meet, connect, and begin sharing the experience.
The culinary experience is part of the journey
The experience also unfolds around the table.
Local ingredients, Pacific seafood, vegetables grown in Todos Santos, infusions, and golden ingredients such as turmeric, honey, and olive oil come together in dialogue with the spirit of Kintsugi.
Included
5 breakfasts · 4 lunches · 3 dinners
Three moments especially meaningful along the way:
A guided sensory experience in darkness that invites you to discover flavor beyond sight.
A table overlooking a 270° view of the Pacific, accompanied by the Hunter’s Moon rising over the horizon.
Harvest to Begin Again
The Hunter’s Moon follows the Harvest Moon.
That same idea runs through the retreat.
Look back at the journey. Recognize what remains. Choose what you want to keep.
On October 25, we will gather at El Mirador as the sun descends over the Pacific and the Hunter’s Moon begins to rise above the horizon.
A final dinner to integrate the experiences of the retreat, reconnect with what moved within us, and share one last evening of flavor, conversation, and a view that appears only once each year.
