You’ll take part in hands-on art workshops, explore ancient rituals like temazcal and cacao ceremonies, enjoy slow food meals with local chefs, and immerse yourself in the cultural richness of this vibrant city.

Whether you're journaling in a courtyard, dyeing textiles with local artisans, or sipping chocolate you roasted yourself — this is an experience to reset, reflect, and make beautiful things with like-minded women.

Why we love it for your party:

  • Hands-on workshops (like collage journaling, ceramics, natural dyeing, and cooking)

Karen was amazingly helpful. Start to finish, she listened to our plans and our goals and our budget and came back with a master plan that we tweaked back-and-forth for a short time and came out with the final plan that was truly remarkable. We were moving four people from hotel to hotel by car rentals, by rideshare’s, by trains all over two countries and she managed to pack everything we needed into our trip of three weeks. Karen is an amazing planner and will work through all the details with you, everything you need in a travel agent, she is highly motivated, extremely intelligent and very professional, also, great with follow-through! We thoroughly enjoying working with Karen and she will be the first one we contact for our future travels.

Our booking experience with Karen Kandelman was absolutely exceptional. She helped us plan our two-week honeymoon in Japan, covering four beautiful cities—Tokyo, Kaga, Kyoto, and Lake Kawaguchiko—before returning to Tokyo. From booking hotels to coordinating our travel between cities, everything was seamless and stress-free. Karen took the time to understand what kind of accommodations and neighborhoods we were interested in, and she truly went above and beyond to tailor the experience to our preferences. Every place we stayed in was perfect, and the logistics were handled so smoothly that all we had to do was enjoy our trip. We’re incredibly grateful for her help in making our honeymoon so memorable—thank you, Karen!
