Our newest journey through the Ecuadorian Andes is officially open…and unlike anything we’ve ever offered before.

This December, we invite you into a deeply intentional retreat designed in collaboration with local wisdom keepers, herbalists, facilitators, and community partners in Ecuador.

This is not a fast-paced sightseeing trip.

It’s a carefully held experience rooted in presence, reflection, ceremony, and connection to land.

Over eight days, you’ll move through:
• The historic streets of Quito through Street Wisdom practices
• Sacred waterfalls and indigenous markets
• Herbal teachings and traditional Andean ceremonies
• A guided plant medicine experience held in a private forest lodge
• Integration through horses, nature, journaling, and time in the mountains

From volcanic landscapes to quiet fireside evenings, every part of this journey has been intentionally designed to support both outer exploration and inner reflection.

Spring is often associated with blooming, with new growth and planting seeds. But there's something that happens before all that.

The land has to be tilled, the old has to be pushed up and out, the hard has to soften. And this process can be a journey in and of itself.

This month on Mundanely Magical LIVING we are exploring the Season of Unearthing and we are posing a simple question:

"What needs to be unearthed in order for the next thing to grow."

These follow up questions can help:
>What has been taking up space in my days lately?
>What do I spend time doing that I don’t actually enjoy?
>What have I been ruminating on or worrying about on repeat?
>Where does my energy feel like it’s being drained?

If you simply ask the question, you are that much closer to the answer. But if you never ask the question, you'll never know.

Mundanely Magical Mondays: JOMO

We often travel with the intention to see everything, packing our days, checking off the list.

But what if the best parts of a place aren’t the ones you can check off?

What if it’s found in slowing down… lingering a little longer… actually taking it in?

JOMO, the Joy of Missing Out, isn’t about doing less for the sake of it.
It’s about creating space to experience more of what actually matters.

Mundanely Magical Mondays: Conquering less is about being more.

Not “more” because you’re lacking or need to become something greater — but more time simply being.

The path of achievement is vertical: goals set, goals reached, and then another appears.

But when you pause and look toward the horizon (the horizontal), something different reveals itself. The horizon has no finish line.

It’s a limitless space quietly waiting… whenever we stop long enough to stand still.
