Füde x Dirt Girls Oaxaca Experience
The Füde Dinner Experience combines nourishing plant-based food with the sacred practice of nudity, creating an alchemic celebration of our most pure selves. In this safe and supportive environment, you are invited to fully connect with and explore the depths of your being.
This special Oaxaca edition, in collaboration with Dirt Girls and De-ELLA, gathers us in communion with the earth, the fire, and the spirit, honoring the agave plant and the ancient, alchemical process through which it becomes mezcal. We will sit at the threshold of life, death, and rebirth, inviting the creative cycles that pulse through nature, through our bodies, and through the sacred art of transformation.
Our journey begins Saturday morning with a guided agave hike and tour, grounding us in the land and its ancestral plants. Along the way, we’ll share a plant-based picnic before gathering in the evening at Casa De-ELLA, a mezcal space and architectural sanctuary sculpted from the elements: agave, clay, water, and air. Here, tradition meets radical sustainability, and spirit flows in every direction. De-ELLA’s process reveres the agave as both ancestor and offering, transforming each plant by hand into a spirit that nourishes, awakens, and connects.
Together with Dirt Girls, a community rooted in land-based creativity, regenerative storytelling, and the practice of getting our hands dirty, literally and metaphorically, we’ll co-create a Füde Dinner Experience that honors the cycles of growth, decay, and renewal. Around a four-course, plant-based meal prepared by a local Oaxacan chef, we’ll engage in thoughtful conversation and guided ritual, releasing what no longer serves, making space for what longs to be born, and honoring the deep feminine creativity that lives in us all.
On Sunday, an optional temazcal ceremony (5–9pm) will be offered for those who wish to go deeper—a traditional sweat-lodge ritual of renewal, cleansing, and embodied connection with the elements.
$75 add on
Accommodations are not included. Travel and lodging arrangements are up to each guest, though we are happy to provide recommendations upon request.
No experience with nudity is necessary, and all bodies are welcome here—raw, radiant, and unhidden. Please bring an open mind and heart, and be prepared to take off your clothes and root into the sacred ground of creation.
Let’s move, breathe, nourish, and connect together.

The Art of Butchery: Animal Harvesting Intensive
“The words we say out loud have power. Many religions believe prayer cannot be heard unless we voice them out loud with our lips and utter them into reality. Our words have effect on others — they allow us to share our inner world. Our actions have power. They are the political act of our identity, and the way we treat people matters. What we say, matters. Who we are, matters.
These things all hold weight.
Animals have a differently wired brains than us. Simply stated, humans are predators and most domestic livestock are prey. This brain wiring has a fundamental effect and difference in the way we participate in the world. Animals also have different senses: they see hear taste differently, and when we choose to raise and steward animals, we choose to protect them. This concept invites us into a deep observation to borrow the extent of their sensorial experience to expand our own.
We hear more sounds by noticing what they react to. We find water by observing the ways animals will seek it out. We learn about the bitter/sugar balance in plants by observing what stage of its growth an animal chooses to nourish itself with. The human experience is extended in the presence of animals.
Yet, the animal’s experience is only extended when they are safe and allowed to live under our protection. There are no take-backs. When we raise an animal for meat, or we hunt and fish, we are taking our intention to feed and nourish our predator brain and body with the calories of theirs — which is a serious, powerful, and intentional act. Raising livestock, especially for a final product like meat, has taught me the seriousness of actions in relation to other humans. There are no take backs. I invite you engage and look at your relationships with the people, plants, and animals in your life.
Although every moment in the life of a relationship has an impact, some relationships may have a terminal presence, or a death. How can we maintain beauty, respect, and reverence in that terminal moment?” - Reebz Wagner, Workshop Facilitator and Rancher
This immersive workshop invites participants to step into a deeper relationship with their food by engaging in the full cycle of life, death, and nourishment.
Guided with care and respect, attendees will each learn to process their own ethically raised and non-GMO-fed chicken to honor the sacred responsibility of harvesting animals for sustenance. Together we will explore the ethics, traditions, and reverence behind this practice by acknowledging that food is not separate from life itself.
The day culminates in a shared farm-to-table dinner, prepared with the very chickens we process, offering a sacred experience of gratitude, connection, and community.
This event will take place in either Malibu or Altadena (TBD).
