March 2 - March 8

WE ARE is proud to announce we are heading back to La Saladita! We had such a great time last year and we are ready for some Mexican sun again! This trip is for the woman who wants to immerse in the natural elements of a rural, remote Mexican surf village while exploring the realms of food, art, health and fashion. While some of our journeys are spent on the road, traveling to several different backdrops, stretching to see it all, this unique Adventure has us planted on the sand in front of an empty lineup. We will be eating only local and healthy Mexican cuisine daily with fruit and veggies from the home garden grown steps away from the kitchen! Go Global, eat local. We will learn how to upcycle plastic waste into reusable tote bags with a unique creative workshop! We will immerse ourselves in the community as we volunteer at a local community center. During this adventure we will consciously practice plastic-free efforts, work to protect all life through environmental efforts with a beach clean up, and truly immerse ourselves in the depths of the expansive Mexican landscapes.

Airport transfer from Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo (ZIH) Airport

We will be working in collaboration with Rais Case! We will learn how to upcycle plastic bags into beautiful reusable tote bags. This creative workshop has a perfect balance of education, fashion, and eco consciousness. We will shine a light on plastic pollution and its effect on our planet’s oceans while at the same time showcasing a way to utilize the waste created. The materials used in this workshop will be gathered on our beach clean up!

Community

One of the foundational principles of WE ARE’s mission is the desire to give back to the destinations visited; redefining how we answer the call to travel.  This year we are heading back to the community center! We will bring art supplies to donate; additionally we will donate our time and spend the day playing and painting with the local kids who turn to this community center.

Earth

We will also clean up every beach we set foot in - a small and simple effort, that shines a light on the issues of waste, particularly when it pours directly into our oceans. We will use the trash we collect in our creative workshop to reuse our plastic waste for a purpose.

For every attendee, WE ARE plants a tree through the international movement Treedom, in order to help rebuild forests, capture CO2 emissions, improve air quality and create a tangible symbol for the WE ARE Mission.
