A recap of one of the most intimate and transformative conscious events in Mexico this year There are conferences. There are retreats. And then there are the rare gatherings that feel like something else entirely — where the topics go deep, the people are real, and you leave genuinely changed. Portal Gatherings 2026 was that kind of event. Held in early March in Tepoztlán, Morelos — one of Mexico's most celebrated Pueblos Mágicos — Portal brought together a small, carefully c

Ready for a break? This is a great time to spend a few days with the right people, in the right place, with time to talk without rushing. That’s what we’re doing in a week! Portal Gathering 2026 is March 1–6 in Tepoztlán, Mexico. The Mainstage event runs March 2–4 in the garden venue. The full schedule is now live.  It includes the mainstage sessions, specialized workshops, and community events like movie night and small live music gatherings. On Friday, March 6, we are headi

Tepoztlán is a town where the food is defined by the market and the street stalls around the main plaza. Much of what you will find is built on rustic corn masa, salted meats, and delicious local stews. The Mexican cuisine relies on quality ingredients—freshly pressed tortillas, fresh local cheeses, and complex, slow-cooked sauces. The food is great. Whether you are at a market table or a street corner, the focus is on ingredients and following the old traditions.   The Basic

On Friday, March 6, the final day of Portal Gathering, we are walking into the mountains of Amatlán. This area is the traditional birthplace of Quetzalcóatl, the Feathered Serpent. Representations of this deity date back to the Teotihuacán civilization (3rd to 8th century CE), where the serpent was tied to the earth, water, and the cycles of vegetation. We are walking with Los Guías de Guadalupe, three certified local guides who grew up in these mountains. The trek begins in

Portal has eclipse history. In April 2024, we gathered in Mazatlán for the Portal Eclipse Festival (April 5–9). It was a real event: talks, workshops, yoga, and nights of music. People arrived for the solar eclipse, and a lot more happened alongside it—conversations that ran late, unexpected connections, and that feeling you get when a group of strangers becomes a temporary village. Afterward, we all went back to regular life. Jobs, families, distance, the usual gravity. The

The Simplest Path from Anywhere in the World Overview Portal Gathering 2026 takes place March 1–6 in the mountains of Tepoztlán, Morelos, Mexico. We start with a journey to the Tepoz Pyramid on Sunday March 1. Our mainstage event happens March 2–4 at Las Palmas Jardín de Eventos, with hikes and community events filling the other two days. The simplest way to join us is to fly into Mexico City International Airport (MEX). From there, it’s a 1.5 to 2-hour drive into town. This

Portal Panel Preview with Leslie Powers, LCSW, and Chris Jantzen The world can feel heavy. Dark moments come without warning, and sometimes it’s hard to know how to keep going. You might find yourself wondering how to live well when everything around you feels off balance — when news cycles bring more confusion than clarity, when what’s happening feels like it’s pressing in from all sides. It’s not just about the big, obvious challenges. Sometimes it’s the small, everyday str

It all started 5 years ago Five years ago, I, Agnieszka, met Lexi Marie at Anarchapulco. I was there as a speaker, and she was part of the team that made sure everything ran smoothly. The event was buzzing with ideas about freedom, sovereignty, and self‑ownership — but amid all the noise, there was a friendly connection from the moment we met. I had a small cafe for the duration of the conference (just in my front yard), and she was a frequent visitor with her husky named Kit
