Immerse in Tradition: Indigo Dye Experience
Discover the magic of El Salvador’s natural indigo in this 120-minute workshop that blends ancestral art with mindful self-discovery. We begin with a guided introspection exercise led by Lula Mena, certified ontological coach, inviting you to pause, breathe, and set a personal intention.
Your reflection then becomes part of the creative process as you transform natural indigo into color and pattern. The piece you create is more than just fabric — it’s a tangible expression of your inner journey and what truly matters to you.
Includes:
- Introspection session
- Eco-friendly materials
- One-of-a-kind hand-dyed piece
- Cultural storytelling.
Price: $100 per person | $65 per person for groups of 3+
Duration: 120 minutes

SCHOOLING
58% of the people that live in rural areas in El Salvador live in overcrowded conditions. When there is overcrowding in families, there is a higher risk of certain problems occurring, such as domestic violence, family disintegration, poor school performance, among others.
300 SALVADORANS TRY TO MIGRATE TO THE UNITED STATES DAILY DUE TO LACK OF WORK OPPORTUNITIES.
When Lula Mena began working in rural communities, many of the young women wanted to immigrate to the United States. Now that they have seen that there is an opportunity for a better life in their community, their perception of immigration has changed. They feel more confident that they will be able to provide for their families without having to leave the country. We want to continue to grow in order to offer more young adults the opportunity to work with us and avoid immigration.
One of the major challenges we faced when we began working with women was gaining the approval of their husbands. Most of the husbands and family members worried that the women would not be able to work and meet the household’s responsibilities.
Now, their husbands prepare dinner, take care of the children, and offer them support. There is still a strong sexist culture, “machismo”, in rural areas of El Salvador that we are trying to change by empowering women.
