Do I have to be an artist to join this sensory retreat?

Everyone is welcome. You don't have to be an artist to come to these retreats. Local artisans will guide you in a way that accommodates both beginners and experienced artist travelers.  Art-making and craft has a way of bringing people together and to be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of experience levels.

Why should I go on a Seven Senses trip?

Seven Senses sensory retreats provide an intimate and immersive form of travel. In just a week's time, you’ll discover a new culture by learning local senses. You’ll be introduced to local makers whom you'll get to work with to learn a traditional craft.

These sensory retreats are great for people who want to learn a new skill, for people who may already have an artistic hobby and want to take it to the next level, or for people who just want to travel in a more intentional and connected way.

Who goes on a Seven Senses trip?

Seven Senses retreats are open to anyone 18 years or older. During our trips we work closely with the local community, immersing ourselves in the local cuisine, crafts and environment. The trips attract open-minded travelers with a sense of curiosity and a desire to learn new skills and perspectives.

Our trips are open to single travelers and groups. You can come with a friend but you will likely form bonds with other travelers on the sensory retreat.

Are the trips women-only?

Everyone is welcome, regardless of gender identity.

How many people are on each trip?

Each sensory retreat has 6 - 12 people. We like to keep it small so everyone has the opportunity to really get to know each other.

When will you announce more trips?

You can stay up to date with new trip date announcements by following us on Instagram or signing up for our email list.

Will I have free time?

Our schedule is well curated to balance hands-on activity with some free down-time. Some afternoons will be flexible for you to enjoy walking the city, or lounging by the pool. We also have one open evening where you can choose to have dinner at your restaurant of choice.

What time is Check-in/ Check-out?

Check in is at 3:00pm, check out is at 11:00am. The retreat officially starts at 6pm on September 30th, 2025.

What’s Included in the Trip Cost?

Cost includes everything once you arrive in the country except alcohol and extra spending money. Make sure to read the information for the trip you're booking so you know exactly what's included and what's not.

What’s Not Included in the Trip Cost?

What If I Don’t Want to Purchase Travel Insurance?

We strongly advise you to purchase travel insurance. This is mostly in case you have to cancel the trip unexpectedly. Seven Senses is not liable to refund you if you cancel within 45 days of the trip. If you have travel insurance, you will be able to be refunded by the insurance company. 

Travel insurance will also cover things like theft, illness, etc. during the trip.

Will I Need a Travel VISA?

Whether or not you need a Visa will depend on your home country. If you are a U.S. citizen, you do not currently need a Visa for Mexico (if you are only traveling the length of our trip). If you plan to stay longer, or are not from the U.S., you should inquire about a VISA with your embassy.
