SACBE Re.Union
THE LIVING ALTAR
October 30 – November 3, 2026 · Casa X, San Miguel de Allende
An intimate gathering with limited capacity.
Honor death. Celebrate life.

THE EXPERIENCE
SACBE brings what sits at the heart of every Re.Union: our community, and an experience that moves between depth and lightness, ritual and celebration.
It unfolds through ritual, yoga, temazcal, music, shared meals, and San Miguel’s Día de Muertos, and ends at the table, the fire, and the dance floor.



DÍA DE MUERTOS IN SAN MIGUEL
Few places embody the magic of Día de Muertos quite like San Miguel. During these days, the town transforms: streets fill with marigolds and candlelight, altars appear throughout the city, families gather to honor their ancestors, and Catrinas, music and processions bring one of Mexico’s most beautiful traditions to life.
That public week is the setting. The altars, the processions, and the night streets are part of these days, not a stop we make once.


THE LIVING ALTAR
What if the altar is not only something we build?
What if the altar is something we become?
In Mexican tradition, an altar is a bridge between worlds. Memory becomes presence, and those who have left us are invited back through photographs, flowers, food, fire, and love.
We open that bridge together. Each guest brings a photograph or an object for someone they want in the room.
From there the altar stays with the group — at the meals, in the conversations, and in the quiet between them.
THE JOURNEY


MIND, BODY & SPIRIT
Anna Vanzani leads yoga in the mornings. Cat holds the middle of the days. Saturday is The Ancestor Forest, lineage mapping and regenerative repair. Sunday is Ancestral Stories, automatic writing and intergenerational dialogue. Monday is Becoming the Ancestors, designing across generations and dreaming toward the future. Karla Ozuna leads the temazcal.

CULTURE & ADVENTURE
On October 31 the gathering sits for the Altar Dinner. On November 2 the group leaves the house for the Day of the Dead Parade through the centro. The rest of the gathering stays close to Casa X: open land, and horses that live on the property.

INSPIRATION & LEARNING
On Saturday afternoon, Isidro Ovejas leads Death After Life, Life After Death. A talk on the veils between the living and the dead, between one dimension and another. What we call life and what we call death are not opposites: they are the same door, seen from different sides. Through a guided death meditation, we'll cross that threshold together.

MUSIC & CELEBRATION
The nights have their own shape. The sacred fire opens on Friday as Reflections on Death, and is lit again on Sunday and Monday. November 2 turns into a celebration of life: a Celebration Music Journey by Maya Burns, then DJ sets by Charles Michel and a special guest, from 22:00 until 2:00.

THE SACBE RE.UNION
A Re.Union is the circle, not the venue. A small group, one house, and enough unscheduled time that people actually meet.
By the last breakfast, the names in the room are no longer new. That is the point of staying the whole way through.
ADD-ONS
Altar Dinner includes transport and a welcome cocktail. Day of the Dead Parade (with Face Paint) includes transport and face paint. The Mushroom Experience and Hike by Simbiosis is coming soon. A room or a pass does not include any add-on.
