In beautiful MALINALCO, Pueblo Mágico, Mexico
Come celebrate the Day of the Dead in Malinalco! A A seven-day retreat in Mexico to uplift your spirits and heal from the inside out.
We’ve been waiting for this beautiful retreat in Malinalco, Mexico!
During this time, the earth gives us nourishing food in abundance. We awaken our senses through taste, color, scents, rituals, and beautiful memories. This is the time to harvest sweet corn, delicious pumpkins, bright cempasuchil flowers, and much more! We are inspired by a meaningful tradition that allows us to heal as we honor and remember our loved ones who have transitioned.
This is also the time to celebrate life and remember our ancestors’ wisdom and memory. We give thanks for their lives and ours, because without them, we would not be here. We are grateful for all the medicine and wisdom they left us so we can live life with joy and gratitude. Through their unending light and guidance, we can mend our hearts and souls and learn to love our bodies unconditionally.
In this healing retreat, we will give ourselves permission to give and receive, celebrate, honor, surrender, and much more.

About CASA XiMALI
IN 2021, Lilia Ollin Roman founded Casa XiMALI in Malinalco, Mexico. For many years, XiMALI was only an idea. Lilia’s dream was to create a healing space where people could come and connect with others on the same journey: release stress and find inspiration and joy in a peaceful setting. People would also find the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful culture and soulful traditions of a Pueblo Magico; they would learn about the amazing history of Mexico as they connect with nature and feel Mother Earth’s powerful healing and medicine.
Today XiMALI is a reality! We are excited to welcome you to a place of rest, culture and ancestral medicine. At XiMALI you will work with teachers and Mexican healers who will lead your through transformative experiences. Take a tour to a colorful market, a river, a mountain, or the pyramids where Mesoamerican cultures gathered; be part of a healing retreat in Mexico, learn Spanish, take a workshop on Curanderismo, Mexican cooking, cacao, and others. Be part of ecological programs with farmers, or just rest in our beautiful Casa and catch up with your reading and writing. When it comes to inspiration and community, we are here for you!
Casa XiMALI
An oasis of wellness, culture
and inspiration.
