Day of the (not) Dead: A Mexico City CME Adventure

SHE

Is a stage four colon cancer survivor, with a lust for life, hell bent to find a way to help humankind find a cure.  

HE

Is an integrative practitioner with years of experience in Herbal, TCM, Naturopathic Medicine and human kindness, with an unending curiosity for cancer treatments that make sense and cents. 

Together, THEY

Invite you to join them in Oscar's family home, for two days of sharing What Works in a teamwork approach between practitioners and patients. Get ready for every meal to be a cooking show - delicious homemade recipes created by a real abuela. We will do some excursions into Mexico City, one of the most amazing places in the world. We will be guided by locals who are much more than guides. They are family.

Cancer is not a death sentence.

In the morning class, Julie & Oscar will talk together about the process and relationship between patient and provider, and the key changes it took to get and keep her well. They are working together on a project they call MOJO Health, developing a holistic approach to palliative care and a suite of tools and services to make cancer suck as little as possible. 

A gluten-free lunch will be served by Yola.

Get ready for the Parade for Day of the Dead Parade at Casa Yola, with the help of Julie, the Queen of Party Planning.

At 2pm the group will head down to Chapultepec/Zocalo downtown Mexico City to attend a Day of Dead Parade!
