The Dreaming House

Behind a gated wall in the village of San Sebastian Xolopan, adjacent to the ancient city of Teotihuacan, lies the Casa de los Sueños.

Within its spacious compound are a dozen rooms decorated with the art of Mexico’s past, both recent and distant.

The rooms have modern conveniences, but no modern annoyances.  There are no “cookie-cutter” rooms at The Dreaming House. Rooms are large and feature ceramic tile and many unique wall murals and pictures add to the gracious, family atmosphere. One expects time to stretch and space to bend when at the Dreaming House.

In the Teaching Salon, adorned with symbols of spiritual significance you’ll find your safe and sacred space for the week. Here, we’ll share our dreams and visions, and deepen the remembrance of our true nature. Through experiences that blend ancient wisdom with personal discovery, the Salon becomes both a quiet sanctuary and a crucible for growth and enlightenment.

Miracles seem normal, and are. The Dreaming House (La Casa de los Sueños) a magical place for our magical time together.
