Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Hedoné Anniversary in Mexico?
The Hedoné movement was born in April 2015, beginning in Lola’s Berlin apartment. Inspired by her studies on ethical hedonism, Lola hosted her birthday as a modern bacchanal, intending to express its spirit in a series of paintings. But the experience reshaped her vision, inspiring her to create a "living painting"—a community that embodies the joy, connection, and freedom of ethical hedonism. Since then, we’ve honored this day with family gatherings centered on celebration. Now, as our anniversary aligns with Earth Day, we come together to honor Pachamama, Hedoné, and Mama Lola in one epic, heartfelt celebration.
WHEN?
From April 17th at 6pm to Tuesday April 22nd at noon. Thursday 17th is optative, only for those interested in participating in sacred medicine ceremony.
WHERE?
The 10th Anniversary of Hedoné will take place in Tepeyahualco, Puebla, at an extraordinary venue envisioned by the one and only Vinicio Limón. As the owner, Vinicio has created a unique space that blends two beautifully designed haciendas, offering an inspiring combination of art, remarkable architecture, and luxurious spa facilities—a perfect setting for a one-of-a-kind hedonistic celebration.
