How to Move to Mexico: Visas, Costs, Taxes, and the Best Places to Live Mexico is one of the most popular countries in the world for Americans who want a lower cost of living, a warmer climate, and a richer day to day culture without moving halfway across the planet. Many expats are retirees, remote workers, or entrepreneurs who find that their money goes further while they gain a more relaxed lifestyle. For someone in the southwestern U.S. (like Arizona), Mexico is especially appealing because you can often drive instead of fly, keep close ties with friends and family, and still feel like you've made a big lifestyle upgrade. This guide walks through why and where to move, what it really costs, how visas work, how Mexican taxes function, when you might owe them, and other real world considerations that don't always show up in glossy travel articles. ________________________________________ Why move to Mexico? People move to Mexico for a mix of financial, personal, and lifestyle reasons. You can open this section with a simple story: for example, a couple selling a house in the U.S., paying cash for a home or condo in Mexico, and cutting their monthly expenses nearly in half while eating better and traveling more. Key motivations to highlight: Lower cost of living Mexico's overall cost of living is significantly lower than in the U.S. Rents in many Mexican cities are substantially cheaper than comparable U.S. cities, groceries and fresh produce are affordable, and services like cleaning, childcare, and home repairs cost far less. A couple who spends 5,000 USD per month in the U.S. can often live comfortably in Mexico on 2,000–3,500 USD per month, depending on city and lifestyle. Proximity and connectivity Unlike moving to Europe or Asia, living in Mexico means you're usually one flight away from your U.S. hometown. Major cities like Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Cancún, and Mérida have robust air connections. Internet infrastructure has improved a lot; mid size cities now often have fiber optic service, making remote work highly feasible. Lifestyle and climate variety Mexico is huge and geographically diverse. You can choose from: • Coastal beach towns with surf culture and sunsets • High altitude colonial cities with spring like weather • Mega cities with world class dining, museums, and nightlife • Smaller, artsy towns with vibrant local traditions You get to decide whether you want small town community, cosmopolitan buzz, or something in between. Culture, food, and community You'll never run out of festivals, markets, and regional dishes. For many expats, the biggest upgrade isn't just cheaper rent, but living in a place where there's always music in the plazas, food in the streets, and a sense of community. In many popular locations, there is also an established expat network to help you orient. Healthcare Private healthcare in Mexico is dramatically more affordable than in the U.S. Many expats pay out of pocket for routine care and buy local or international health insurance for major events. In larger cities you'll find modern hospitals and specialists, and in some cases doctors who trained abroad. ________________________________________ Where to move in Mexico Mexico isn't a single experience. Moving to Oaxaca is very different from moving to Mazatlán or Guadalajara. This section should help you “try on” a few places in your imagination. Mexico City Vibe: Big city, cosmopolitan, urban energy. Pros: World class restaurants, museums, art, music, and nightlife; excellent air connections; plenty of coworking spaces and job opportunities with international companies. Cons: Higher rents than many other Mexican cities, traffic and air pollution, security can vary by neighborhood. Mexico City suits people who want an urban life and don't mind density. It works well for younger professionals or creatives, and for remote workers who want big city culture at a lower price than New York, LA, or San Francisco. Guadalajara Vibe: Large city with a strong tech scene and traditional Jalisco culture (mariachi, tequila). Pros: Big city services without quite the chaos of Mexico City, growing startup and tech ecosystem, nearby towns and lakes for weekend escapes. Cons: Some neighborhoods can feel sprawling; traffic is very real; summers can be hot. Guadalajara is a good fit for remote workers and entrepreneurs who want a mix of modern infrastructure and traditional Mexican character. Lake Chapala (Ajijic/Chapala) Vibe: Classic retiree and snowbird destination near a large lake. Pros: Mild climate, large English speaking expat community, social clubs and activities, walkable village feel in places like Ajijic. Cons: Heavy expat presence can make it feel less “Mexican” to some; limited big city amenities compared to Guadalajara. This area is ideal for retirees who want community, comfort, and a gentle pace of life within reach of a major city. San Miguel de Allende Vibe: Picturesque colonial city, artsy, charming, and heavily international. Pros: Beautiful historic center, strong arts and cultural scene, plenty of restaurants and galleries. Cons: One of the more expensive inland cities; tourism and expat presence drive up housing costs. San Miguel appeals to people who prioritize aesthetics, architecture, and culture and are willing to pay a premium. Querétaro Vibe: Clean, orderly, fast growing city with industry and a large middle class. Pros: Safe reputation, good infrastructure, beautiful colonial center, strong job market in manufacturing and services. Cons: Less “touristy charm” in some newer suburbs; housing prices have been rising with growth. Querétaro works well for families and professionals who want a modern, organized city with good schools and services. Puebla Vibe: Historic, livable city with serious food culture and nearby nature. Pros: Gorgeous colonial architecture, famous cuisine (like mole poblano), access to mountains and smaller towns, a mix of traditional markets and modern malls. Cons: Higher altitude and cooler winters than coastal areas; still under the radar for many expats, so less English support than in Lake Chapala or San Miguel. Puebla suits people who love culture, gastronomy, and city life but don't need a huge expat bubble. Oaxaca City Vibe: Cultural and culinary capital with strong Indigenous traditions and arts. Pros: Outstanding food, vibrant markets, year round festivals, access to mountains and rural communities, often lower rents than more famous expat hubs. Cons: Smaller airport and fewer direct international flights; infrastructure can be a bit more rustic compared to megacities. Oaxaca is great for people who want deep culture, don't mind a bit of grit, and prefer authenticity over polish. Mérida and the Yucatán Vibe: Colonial city, family friendly, often cited for safety. Pros: Strong sense of community, rich history, cenotes and beaches nearby, growing expat scene. Cons: Hot and humid much of the year; air conditioning can be essential. Mérida appeals to families, retirees, and anyone who wants a mix of culture and relative safety in a warm climate. Puerto Vallarta / Riviera Nayarit Vibe: Beach town/medium city with a strong expat and LGBTQ+ community. Pros: Ocean, sunsets, whale watching, strong tourism economy, many English speaking services, international airport. Cons: Housing and dining in tourist zones are more expensive; high season crowds; summer humidity. This is an easy landing spot if you want a beach lifestyle and community support from day one. Mazatlán Vibe: Working port city with long beaches and a growing expat presence. Pros: Ocean side living, more “local” feel than some resort towns, improving infrastructure, cost of living that can be lower than in ultra commercial tourist areas. Cons: Humid climate; parts of the city feel industrial; some areas are still rough around the edges. Mazatlán is appealing if you want the Pacific coast without the heavy commercialization and highest prices of places like Los Cabos or Cancún. Place Vibe Big Pros Main Tradeoffs Mexico City Mega‑city Culture, jobs, flights Cost, traffic, pollution Guadalajara Big, traditional Tech scene, culture Sprawl, traffic Lake Chapala Retiree village Mild climate, expat community Fewer urban amenities San Miguel Artsy colonial Beauty, culture Higher housing costs Querétaro Modern, orderly Safety, infrastructure Rising prices Puebla Historic, foodie Cuisine, architecture, nature nearby Less expat support Oaxaca City Cultural hub Food, festivals, affordability Smaller airport, rustic edges Mérida Warm, family‑oriented Safety, history Heat and humidity Puerto Vallarta Beach city Ocean, expat support Tourist prices in key areas Mazatlán Port/beach city More local feel, coast Humidity, some gritty areas ________________________________________ Cost of living in Mexico Readers want numbers, but it's better to provide realistic ranges and examples than a single “magic” figure. Basic cost structure Housing Rents vary wildly by location. A modest one bedroom in a non touristy city might rent for the equivalent of a few hundred dollars per month. In upscale neighborhoods of Mexico City or popular beach towns, modern apartments can cost as much or more than many mid tier U.S. cities. Utilities and internet Electricity is affordable unless you run heavy air conditioning all year, which you might need on the coasts and in the lowlands. Internet and mobile service are reasonably priced, with fiber available in many urban areas. Food and groceries Fresh fruits, vegetables, and staples are cheap, especially if you shop in local markets. Imported items (certain cheeses, specialty products) are more expensive. Eating at local restaurants and street food stalls is inexpensive; high end dining in major cities is still far cheaper than equivalent places in the U.S. Transportation Public transit, taxis, and app based rides are affordable. Owning a car involves fuel, insurance, and maintenance costs, but these are usually lower than in the U.S. You can often live car free in dense cities like Mexico City, Guadalajara, or Puebla. Example monthly budgets (rough, per household) Frugal single in a non touristy city • Rent (studio/1 bed): 400–600 USD equivalent • Utilities and internet: 70–120 • Groceries and local dining: 250–350 • Local transport and misc.: 100–150 • Total: roughly 800–1,200 USD per month Comfortable couple in a mid range city • Rent (nice 2 bed apartment): 700–1,200 USD • Utilities, internet, mobile: 120–200 • Groceries and eating out several times a week: 400–600 • Health insurance (local or international): 200–400 • Transport, entertainment, gyms, etc.: 200–400 • Total: roughly 1,600–2,800 USD per month Beach town or premium neighborhood living In high demand areas (like parts of Puerto Vallarta, San Miguel de Allende, or prime zones in Mexico City), you can easily spend 2,500–4,000 USD per month or more for a couple if you choose modern housing, eat out frequently, and live a more upscale lifestyle. Startup costs Don't forget one time or irregular costs: • Visa fees for temporary or permanent residency • International flights or moving your belongings • First month's rent plus deposit (sometimes more for furnished places) • Basic furniture and household goods if you're not renting furnished • Car purchase or import (if you choose to have one) Encourage readers to arrive with a cash cushion: at least 3–6 months of living expenses plus relocation costs. ________________________________________ Visa options and residency paths Mexico's visa system offers several ways to stay, depending on your plans and finances. Tourist stay Many foreigners enter Mexico as tourists without a visa and receive permission to stay up to a certain number of days (often up to 180 days, but it is not guaranteed). A tourist stay: • Does not allow you to work for Mexican employers • Does not let you access local residency benefits • Is not meant as a long term “back to back” solution Tourist entries are good for exploration trips but not for a full time move. Temporary resident (Residente Temporal) Temporary residency is the most common path for people who want to live in Mexico for more than six months without immediately going permanent. General characteristics: • Usually granted initially for 1 year, with the possibility to renew up to 4 years • Allows you to live in Mexico full time, open local bank accounts, and sometimes get local health coverage • Does not automatically grant permission to work; if you plan to work in Mexico you need work authorization attached to your residency Most temporary residents qualify via financial solvency (proof of income or savings). Typical recent numbers: • Monthly income requirement: roughly in the low to mid 4,000 USD range for the last 6–12 months, depending on the consulate • Savings/investment requirement: often in the high five figures to low six figures in USD equivalent, again varying by consulate Each Mexican consulate sets its own exact thresholds and evidence rules, so readers must always check with the specific consulate where they'll apply. Permanent resident (Residente Permanente) Permanent residency is ideal if you plan to live in Mexico indefinitely. Characteristics: • No need for frequent renewals • Lets you live in Mexico as long as you like • Often used by retirees or those with strong ties to Mexico (like family connections) You can qualify either: • Directly from abroad if you meet higher income or savings requirements, often thousands of dollars more per month than temporary residency; or • By first holding temporary residency for several years (for many, 4 years), then converting to permanent status inside Mexico. Again, the exact thresholds and documentation depend on the consulate and can change year to year. Work visas and business If you plan to work for a Mexican employer or run a Mexican company that needs your presence, you need proper work authorization. Basic ideas: • A Mexican employer can sponsor you for a temporary resident visa with permission to work if they are registered with the immigration authorities. • You cannot legally work in Mexico for a Mexican entity on a tourist visa. • If you intend to start a business (for example, a hotel, restaurant, or tourism operation), you'll need legal and tax advice to structure it correctly and secure the right visa. ________________________________________ Visa process: step by step overview You can treat this as a checklist. 1. Clarify your plan Decide how long you want to stay and whether you'll work, retire, or just live on savings or remote income. That determines whether you need temporary or permanent residency, and whether you need work authorization. 2. Choose a consulate and check requirements Review the website of the Mexican consulate you'll use (near your U.S. residence, for example). Requirements vary: one might emphasize income, another savings; some want 12 months of bank statements, others 6. 3. Gather documents Typical documents include: passport, completed application form, passport photos, bank and/or investment statements, pension or Social Security award letters, marriage or birth certificates if applying with family members. 4. Book and attend the consulate appointment You'll have a short interview, submit your documents, and pay a fee. If approved, the consulate places a visa sticker in your passport, usually valid for a limited period to enter Mexico and “activate” your residency. 5. Enter Mexico and finalize at immigration (INM) Within a set number of days after entering Mexico on your new visa (often 30 days), you must go to your local immigration office, complete forms, pay fees, and provide biometrics to receive your residency card. 6. Renew or convert (for temporary residents) Temporary residents must renew before their card expires, often annually at first. After the allowed number of years, many can convert to permanent residency. Many applicants use a local immigration facilitator or attorney, especially if their Spanish is limited or if they have a more complex case. ________________________________________ How Mexican taxes work This is where readers start wondering, “How much are Mexican taxes, and what do they tax?” Income tax (ISR) Mexico has a progressive income tax called ISR (Impuesto Sobre la Renta) that applies to individuals. For tax residents (people who are considered resident in Mexico for tax purposes): • The system uses progressive tax brackets. • Rates start at low single digits on small incomes (around 1.9%) and rise stepwise. • The top marginal rate is around 35% on high incomes (at several million pesos per year). • Most employment income is taxed through withholding by the employer, with an annual true up in a tax return. For non residents (people who are not tax resident in Mexico but have Mexican source income): • There is usually an exemption for a small initial amount of income. • Above that, one common pattern is 15% tax on mid range income and 30% on higher income, depending on the type and level of income. You don't need to quote exact peso thresholds to readers; it's enough to say that most ordinary incomes are taxed at moderate rates, while high incomes pay up to about 35%. What income do they tax? For Mexican tax residents, Mexico generally taxes worldwide income: • Wages and salaries from Mexican or foreign employers • Self employment and business income • Rental income from property in Mexico or abroad • Interest, dividends, and capital gains • Some pensions and retirement income, depending on the source and treaties For non residents, Mexico usually taxes only Mexican source income: • Income from work physically performed in Mexico • Rental income from Mexican real estate • Business profits from a Mexican business or permanent establishment • Some Mexican source interest and dividends If your readers are U.S. citizens, remind them: they must still file a U.S. tax return even if they also become Mexican tax residents, and they may be able to offset Mexican taxes through tax credits or exclusions. Value added tax (IVA) Mexico's sales tax is a value added tax called IVA. • The standard IVA rate is 16%, applied to most goods and services, including many consumer purchases and professional services. • There is a reduced rate (often around 8%) in certain border regions to promote competitiveness. • Some items are zero rated or exempt: many basic foods, some medicines, exports, certain types of housing, and some education and health services. As a consumer, you see IVA embedded in most prices, much like sales tax in the U.S. For businesses (like a hotel or restaurant), you collect IVA on sales and remit it to the government. Other common taxes and contributions Depending on what you do in Mexico, you might also encounter: • Social security contributions for employees (if you work for a Mexican employer) • Property taxes (predial), which are generally much lower than typical U.S. property taxes on a comparable property • Vehicle registration fees if you own a car You don't need to go into detail here, but it's worth flagging that these exist and are part of the overall tax picture. ________________________________________ Tax examples: retiree, remote worker, and Mexican employed American These simplified examples assume the person has become a Mexican tax resident (over 183 days per year in Mexico and/or center of vital interests in Mexico). Real world outcomes depend on exact numbers, deductions, the current year's brackets, and treaty interpretation, so they are for illustration only and not tax advice. Example 1: Retiree getting 30,000 USD/year in U.S. Social Security Assumptions: • 30,000 USD/year in U.S. Social Security, no other income. • Exchange rate of 18 MXN per USD → 540,000 MXN/year. • Lives in Mexico full time and is treated as a tax resident. Key points: • Foreign pensions, including U.S. Social Security, may need to be reported to the Mexican tax authority (SAT) once you are a Mexican tax resident. • In practice, some advisors and expats find that U.S. Social Security and U.S. retirement distributions are primarily taxed in the U.S., with Mexico focusing more on Mexican source income, but the safest assumption is that Mexico can tax worldwide income and may expect you to declare it. How you might explain it to readers: • If you are a retiree with 30,000 USD/year in Social Security and no other income, you will still deal with U.S. tax rules on that income. • Once you become a Mexican tax resident, Mexico may require you to report that income, but whether they actually tax it depends on treaty rules and how your situation is interpreted. • A cross border tax professional can tell you whether you'll see any Mexican tax on that Social Security or whether your liabilities remain mostly on the U.S. side. Plain English takeaway: retirees living on moderate U.S. Social Security often don't get hammered by Mexican income tax, but they should plan on at least reporting their income and coordinating U.S. and Mexican filings. Example 2: Remote American worker living in Mexico, making 80,000 USD/year from a U.S. employer Assumptions: • 80,000 USD/year salary from a U.S. company, work performed remotely while living in Mexico. • Exchange rate 18 MXN/USD → 1,440,000 MXN per year. • Spends more than 183 days/year in Mexico, so is a Mexican tax resident. Key points: • Mexico taxes its residents on worldwide income, which includes your U.S. salary. • If you are effectively working from Mexico, Mexico views that as Mexican taxable employment or self employment income, even if your employer is in the U.S. Approximate effect: • At around 1.44 million MXN/year, you'll be in higher ISR brackets, facing a top marginal rate of 35% on the upper slice of your income and a blended effective rate likely in the low to mid 20% range, after standard calculations. • You still file a U.S. return every year. • You may use the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion and/or foreign tax credits to prevent being fully taxed twice. If you're a U.S. citizen working remotely from Mexico and earning 80,000 USD/year from a U.S. employer, expect to owe Mexican income tax as a resident and still file a U.S. return. The good news is that, with proper planning, Mexican tax you pay can usually be credited against your U.S. tax so you're not double taxed on the same income. Example 3: American earning 60,000 USD/year from a Mexican employer Assumptions: • American citizen employed by a Mexican company, working in Mexico. • 60,000 USD/year salary → 1,080,000 MXN/year at 18 MXN/USD. • Treated as a Mexican tax resident. Key points: • This is clearly Mexican source employment income. • Your Mexican employer will withhold ISR from your paycheck based on the progressive tables, plus social security and other payroll contributions. • At roughly 1.08 million MXN/year, you're again in higher brackets, with an effective tax rate that can land roughly in the low to mid 20% range, depending on deductions and credits. • As a U.S. citizen, you still file a U.S. tax return but can typically use foreign tax credits and, possibly, the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion to avoid paying full tax twice. If you're an American making about 60,000 USD/year working for a Mexican employer, you'll see Mexican taxes withheld from every paycheck and you'll still file in the U.S., but in many cases the Mexican tax you pay will substantially offset what you owe the IRS. ________________________________________ When do you have to file Mexican taxes? Taxes depend on tax residency, not just on immigration status (visa type). When do you become a Mexican tax resident? Mexico may treat you as a tax resident when: • You spend more than 183 days in Mexico in a calendar year; or • Mexico is the “center of your vital interests,” meaning your main economic or family ties are there (for example, your spouse and minor children live in Mexico and you earn most of your income from Mexican sources). Residency for tax purposes is a legal determination, not just a personal choice, so it's wise to consult a tax professional if you're unsure. Filing and paying For Mexican tax residents: • Individuals generally file an annual income tax return, often in the spring of the following year (recent years use April 30 as a common deadline). • Some types of income require monthly provisional payments. • Employers withhold tax on salary, and banks or brokers may withhold on interest and other income. For non residents: • Mexican tax is often withheld at source by the payer (for example, a Mexican employer or tenant), at the applicable non resident rates. A simple rule of thumb for your readers: • If you spend less than 183 days in Mexico per year and don't earn Mexican source income, you usually don't file a Mexican tax return (but you still file in your home country). • If you live in Mexico most of the year, own a business there, or earn income from Mexican property or employment, expect to deal with Mexican tax returns and possibly to be treated as a tax resident. Always encourage readers to get cross border tax advice, especially U.S. citizens who may need to coordinate U.S. and Mexican returns. ________________________________________ Other important considerations Rounding out the blog with practical and cultural issues makes it feel grounded. Healthcare and insurance • Many expats use a combination of local private healthcare and insurance (either Mexican private plans or international expat policies). • Some long term residents enroll in Mexico's public healthcare system, but quality and access can vary by region. • Before moving, review how your current health insurance will work abroad and plan for major emergencies. Banking and money • Most people keep at least one bank account in their home country and open a Mexican account after they get residency, making it easier to pay rent and utilities. • Money transfer services and online banks can offer better exchange rates and lower fees than traditional bank wires. • U.S. citizens must also be mindful of foreign account reporting requirements (like FBAR and FATCA). Renting vs buying property • Renting first is usually smart. It gives you time to test neighborhoods, understand noise patterns, get a feel for the climate, and decide if you really like the city. • Buying property in Mexico can be attractive, especially in less expensive markets, but there are legal nuances, including special structures (like fideicomisos) for coastal and border properties. • Using a reputable notario (a specialized legal official) and real estate professionals is critical. Safety • Safety in Mexico is highly regional and neighborhood specific. Some places are very comfortable for day to day life, while others have serious security issues. • Research specific cities and neighborhoods, use recent data, and talk to locals and expats on the ground, not just headline news. • As in any country, common sense precautions (knowing where not to go at night, avoiding displays of wealth, learning local norms) go a long way. Language and integration • Learning Spanish is one of the best investments an expat can make. Even basic Spanish opens doors: cheaper local services, smoother dealings with bureaucracy, better relationships with neighbors. • Integration means respecting local customs, supporting local businesses, and avoiding “little bubble” lifestyles where expats only interact with each other. Working or running a business • Anyone planning to run a hotel, restaurant, tour company, or other business in Mexico needs clarity on immigration status, work authorization, and tax obligations. • A business that employs locals (for example, a hotel/restaurant concept in Puebla or a tourism operation in Oaxaca or Mazatlán) can be both profitable and socially impactful, but it requires upfront planning with local lawyers, accountants, and immigration professionals. • Operating “informally” or on a tourist visa can create serious immigration and tax problems.

What does it mean to build a life in images?In this episode of Ojai Talk of the Town, I sit down with Ojai-based artist Dennis Mukai, whose career spans commercial illustration, celebrity portrait photography, and a strikingly original fine art practice.Born in Hiroshima and raised in Southern California, Mukai trained at the Art Center College of Design before building a nationally recognized career as an illustrator and photographer. Over the decades, he has worked with major brands, major periodicals such as Playboy, photographed musicians and actors, and developed a meticulous layered painting technique in which he sands through pigment to reveal what lies beneath — work that feels at once cinematic, nostalgic, and quietly subversive.We talk about:• Growing up between cultures• The discipline of commercial art versus the freedom of fine art• Photographing public figures (especially beautiful women) — and searching for the private human inside the persona• Why process matters as much as product• How Ojai's light and stillness shape his current work• Reinvention, longevity, and what it means to keep evolvingThis is a conversation about craft, patience, beauty, and the long arc of an artistic life.We did not talk about cherry salmon, tiger maple or the architectural highlights of San Miguel de Allende. If you care about art, photography, discipline, or the creative journey itself — you'll enjoy this one. Check out Dennis' work at ...https://www.dennismukai.com/

In this uplifting episode of the MINDTRX Podcast, Dr. Paul Scheele welcomes Gloria Belendez-Ramirez for a joyful, expansive conversation about remembering your divinity and returning to your natural state of love, gratitude, and inner ease. Gloria shares a powerful turning point from her teenage years—a hospital-room revelation that shifted her from fear and illness into appreciation and freedom. What changed was not her past, but her perception. As she describes it, it can happen as quickly as "changing your glasses," reminding us that transformation doesn't always require years of effort—sometimes it begins in a single moment of truth. Together, Paul and Gloria explore the difference between contraction and expansion, and how the emotions we live in shape our health, relationships, and sense of purpose. Gloria explains how fear and emotional discomfort can shut down the nervous system and create illness, while appreciation and wonder restore the body to its natural state of wellbeing. Paul builds on this by describing the five vital emotions—joy, peace, contentment, gratitude, and happiness—and how living from these states helps clear emotional baggage and return us to love, which ultimately "casts out fear." You'll also hear one of Gloria's most memorable teachings: "Cleaning the Table," a metaphor for clearing emotional clutter and refusing to let one painful moment erase the goodness of an entire life or relationship. Instead of fixating on the "spill," she encourages listeners to clear the table completely, return to gratitude, and choose a new experience. Throughout the conversation, Gloria emphasizes that the most reliable guidance is not found through overthinking, but through feeling—tuning into what expands you, what restores you, and what reconnects you with awe. Before closing, Gloria offers a simple practice for overwhelmed moments: a breath ritual of receiving and giving. Inhale "pink" as a symbol of joy, and exhale "purple" as a symbol of empathy—allowing your breath to bring you back into balance, presence, and peace. This episode is a warm reminder that no matter what you've lived through, your divinity is not negotiable—and your next shift can begin right now. Gloria Belendez Ramirez is an author and spiritual teacher known for her bold, joyful approach to human transformation and divine remembrance. Her work emphasizes appreciation, reverence for life, and living in alignment with nature as the most direct path back to inner peace and purpose. She shares powerful teachings through her books and through the retreat space she created in San Miguel de Allende, designed to help people remember who they are and live from joy, awe, and benevolence.

Hoy se cumplen 1.460 días de guerra entre Rusia y Ucrania. 3 años y 350 días.Carla Castro, Reina del Carnaval de Santa Cruz de Tenerife: la representante de McDonald's y El Día gana con la fantasía 'Icónica' de Alexis Santana. Hoy se cumplen 1.461 días de guerra entre Rusia y Ucrania. 3 años y 351 días. Hoy es jueves 12 febrero de 2026. Día de Darwin. El Día de Darwin se conmemora el 12 de febrero con el objetivo de celebrar un año más del nacimiento de Charles Darwin en el año 1809, además de reivindicar la vida y obra de uno de los científicos más importantes del siglo XIX y de dar a conocer su gran aporte en el campo de la biología y la ciencia en general. Charles Darwin fue un amante de la naturaleza. Un niño soñador, solitario y diferente a los demás, qué pasaba horas creando un mundo imaginario y lleno de fantasía.

Nonprofit organization design is about how an organization works: how decisions get made, how power flows, how people collaborate across boundaries, and how strategy actually gets translated into day-to-day action. In episode 142, of Nonprofit Mission: Impact, Carol Hamilton and Jeanne Bell dig deeply into why organization design—often overlooked or reduced to org charts—is actually a missing discipline nonprofits need to truly operationalize their strategy and values. They discuss: How nonprofits are too often stuck in false dichotomies (flat vs. hierarchical),  Why too many organizations are burdened by overly complicated compensation systems, and hindered by management team structures that don't reflect how strategy actually needs to happen.  How by aligning Galbraith's STAR model elements—strategy, structure, processes, rewards, and people, nonprofit organizations can genuinely act on their missions.  This episode offers nonprofit leaders a grounded, liberating framework for rethinking how their organizations make decisions, how people collaborate, and what it really means to design for impact.   Episode highlights: 09:05 | Why the STAR Model Matters in Nonprofit Life 13:20 | A Clear, Shared Definition of Strategy (And Why It's Non-Negotiable) 15:15 | When to Revisit Strategy: The Changing Sociopolitical Context 17:25| Beyond Flat vs. Hierarchical: Designing for Roles, Accountability & Power 20:20 | The Critical Role of Cross-Functional Spaces 23:05 | Stop Creating Ineffective Committees & Task Forces 27:25 | Recommendations vs. Decisions: Be Honest About Power 30:05 | Rewards & Compensation: The Hidden Restraints on Organizational Design 35:35 | Job Descriptions: A Mechanistic Tool Limiting Flexibility 38:20 | Why Management Teams Don't Work (And What to Build Instead) 42:05 | The Question Every Nonprofit Leader Should Ask 44:35 | Closing Reflections Guest Bio: Jeanne Bell is the co-founder of Just Org Design. She has consulted on nonprofit strategy and organizational change for over 25 years. Jeanne also curates Nonprofit Quarterly's Leading Edge Program, recruiting and presenting nonprofit practitioners advancing more equitable nonprofit leadership practices.

(Antevíspera del Día Mundial del Matrimonio) «Arroz con leche, me quiero casar, con una señorita de San Nicolás. Que sepa coser, que sepa bordar, que sepa abrir la puerta para ir a jugar. »Yo soy la viudita del barrio del rey. Me quiero casar y no sé con quién. Con esta sí, con esta no, con esta señorita me caso yo. »Capitán de buque me mandó un papel a ver si quería casarme con él. Yo le contesté, en otro papel, que hombre sin dinero no era menester. »De tanto andar el joven con ese papel, hasta mi mamita lo llegó a saber. —Ven acá, mi hijita, dime la verdad, si con ese joven te piensas casar. —No, no, mi mamita, no lo piense usted, que con ese joven no me casaré.»1 Estas populares rimas infantiles sobre los requisitos que debían cumplir los futuros cónyuges de niños y niñas fueron publicadas por Juan Alfonso Carrizo en su Cancionero de Catamarca en 1926 y en su Cancionero de Salta en 1933. Gracias a Dios, en el siglo veintiuno reconocemos mucho más que en los siglos anteriores los principios bíblicos que establecen la igualdad entre los hombres y las mujeres. «Juan Alfonso Carrizo fue un estudioso argentino que... se dedicó... a... la búsqueda y el hallazgo de los cantares tradicionales del pueblo.... [Logró] recorrer personalmente, palmo a palmo, cinco provincias [argentinas], recolectar cerca de treinta mil cantares y publicarlos anotados con la mayor erudición», escribe la eminente doctora e investigadora argentina Olga Fernández Latour de Botas en 1995 con motivo del centenario del nacimiento de Carrizo. «Recuerdo que mi padre, don Enrique Fernández Latour, decía haberlo conocido en las tardes en que, desde una mesa de la confitería más céntrica de la ciudad de San Miguel de Tucumán, recitaba a quien quisiera oírlo coplas y cantares que fluían de sus labios con toda la belleza, la gracia y la sabiduría de la tradición viva. Él los había descubierto, documentado y “salvado” del olvido.... »Con la Fe como guía iba buscando todo lo que las gentes dicen cantando, cuando cuentan, o ríen, o están llorando. »Me tocó a mí, por indicación [de Carrizo mismo] —alentada o tal vez inducida por mi maestro... el profesor [Bruno Cayetano] Jacovella... [que] ha sido el mejor biógrafo de Carrizo— proseguir con trabajos referidos al cancionero. »... Había en Carrizo un atavismo luminoso que... lo conducía por el sendero de la fidelidad al Evangelio y de la permanente manifestación de su gracia.... »“En esta vida emprestada el bien vivir es la llave. Aquel que se salva, sabe, y el que no, no sabe nada”. »Esta cuarteta anotó don Juan Alfonso Carrizo, y con esa llave abrió la puerta del paraíso.»2 Sólo nos queda aclarar que, según San Pablo, lo que sabe el que se salva es que la salvación no es por obras sino por la gracia de Dios, y que se obtiene mediante la fe como su regalo inmerecido.3 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Juan Alfonso Carrizo, «Rimas infantiles», Antiguos cantos populares argentinos (Cancionero de Catamarca) (Buenos Aires: Impresores Silla Hermanos, 1926), pp. 235-36 En línea 15 agosto 2025; Juan Alfonso Carrizo, Cancionero popular de Salta (Buenos Aires: A.

I think a lot about agriculture, in my mind it was the first way in which humans expressed themselves. They planted for survival, but also to meet and expand their desires.They were able to create more deliciousness and more complexity hand in hand with the territory they worked.  The land was loved and it loved us back. Somehow, just very recently,  this relationship was broken. And now it seems we've decided to abuse the land and the environments we live in rather than work with them.In this second episode with Sophia Trapp, we explore how agave and mezcal production could possibly offer some answers to how we can love our land once again. I hope you enjoy it.If you are as excited as I am about this project, you can visit it in San Miguel de Allende. Some coordination may be needed but you can contact Sophia and their fellow associates at Casagave.com or Cañada de la Virgen on Instagram.Drink the mezcal and regenerate the land. Nos vemos al rato. 

En este episodio nos centramos en una lista de recursos de ayuda disponible para las personas que lo necesiten en el condado de San Miguel y las áreas cercanas. También hablamos sobre la encuesta de calidad de vida.

Este artista mexicano estudió la Licenciatura de Arquitectura en la Universidad Iberoamericana, para luego trabajar en el Museo de San Carlos como jefe de museografía, donde diseñó más de 15 exposiciones temporales de artistas tan importantes como Francisco De Goya y Aristide Maillol, entre otros.

Trabajó varios años en una firma de arquitectura, hasta que en 2011 establece su estudio de escultura, trabajando constantemente en comisiones para colecciones particulares y presentado su trabajo en exposiciones individuales en varias galerías y museos de México y el extranjero. Fue el encargado de diseñar el galardón de Iconos del Diseño 2024 de la revista Architectural Digest México & Latinoamérica. Hoy su obra se pueden encontrar en distintos espacios urbanos como en West Palm Beach, Florida, en el hotel Live Aqua de San Miguel de Allende o la instalación titulada Peces en el Palacio de Minería de la Ciudad de México.

Se sabe desde Babilonia que la ciudad es odiosa. No en vano, Caín fundó la primera de todas ellas, y desde entonces la cosa no ha mejorado. O'Henry decía que Nueva York carecía de un solo alma, Dickens describió Londres como si fuera una porqueriza y Ósip Mandelstan definió Moscú como una ensalada de madera y vidrio. También hay tuiteros ingeniosos que llaman "Carcelona" a Barcelona y "Pudrid" a Madrid. Por supuesto hay quien fantasea con volver al pueblo, donde se guarecen las esencias de lo auténtico (la fiscalización, la endogamia, la autenticidad, la falta de trabajo). Y también quien echa en falta las ciudades de antaño, cuando los aguadores vendían embotellada el agua de las fuentes y los vecinos gritaban sus alegres "agua va" al arrojar por la ventana el contenido de los orinales; quizá el Madrid de Galdós no era tan brioso como parecía, y acaso los figones cochambrosos que frecuentaba el ciego Almudena los habría cerrado Santidad; bien pensado, por el cuchitril de Fortunata en la Cava de San Miguel hoy le pedirían un ojo de la cara. Por eso es de celebrar la guerra (la expresión bélica es suya) que la ministra Isabel Rodríguez, que ayer estuvo en esta santa casa, ha emprendido contra los pisos turísticos ilegales, quizá viendo que Carlos Hernández Quero, de Vox, le come la tostada en el extrarradio y en los barrios populares. Hasta Trump ha dicho algo parecido. Curiosos tiempos en que la derecha te adelanta por la izquierda. Alsina: en conclusión…Decía el castizo que la felicidad va por barrios. Quizá, en vez de enredarnos en sesudos debates sobre urbanismo, convendría recuperar la vieja urbanidad. No nos hagamos daño.

1ER PODCAST DEL MISTERIO EN HABLA HISPANA DESDE 1993 TEMPORADA 32 DE LA LUZ DEL MISTERIO Vive el Misterio... Pasa, ponte cómodo y disfruta... FROM LONDON: Esta noche conversamos con la bibliotecaria de la Sacra de Michele, Elisa Ravarino sobre los misterios que esconde la abadia que inspiro a Umberto Eco, El Nombre De la Rosa. No todos los monasterios fueron erigidos para la oración. Algunos nacieron para guardar secretos. La Sacra de San Michele se alza sobre la roca como un manuscrito de piedra, escrito en una lengua que el tiempo ha intentado borrar. Quien asciende hasta ella no solo sube una montaña: se adentra en un lugar donde la historia y la leyenda se confunden, y donde cada sombra parece conocer un nombre prohibido. Los monjes que la habitaron hablaban poco y observaban mucho. Sabían que sus muros ocultaban símbolos que no debían ser interpretados a la ligera, y que bajo sus bóvedas se insinuaba una presencia antigua, vigilante, imposible de nombrar. La escalera que conduce a su interior no sigue las leyes de los hombres, y la luz que penetra en sus pasillos parece obedecer a un orden distinto. Este monasterio, consagrado al arcángel San Miguel, forma parte de una geometría sagrada que atraviesa Europa, como si alguien hubiera trazado una línea invisible entre lo divino y lo prohibido. No es extraño que, a lo largo de los siglos, se hayan registrado relatos de apariciones, pasos sin cuerpo, susurros nocturnos y visiones que ningún cronista se atrevió a dejar por escrito. En este video exploramos la historia documentada, las leyendas medievales y los fenómenos paranormales que rodean a la Sacra de San Michele. Un lugar donde la fe convive con el temor, y donde el mayor misterio no es lo que se ve… sino lo que permanece oculto. Porque hay verdades que no fueron hechas para ser reveladas. Y hay lugares que prefieren seguir en silencio. Luego conoceremos qué hay detrás del poder del Tercer Reich; se movió una corriente oscura de mitos, símbolos y creencias esotéricas. Algunos dirigentes nazis recurrieron a la astrología, las runas y a antiguas leyendas germánicas para construir un relato de destino y de superioridad. Instituciones como la Ahnenerbe buscaron reliquias y conocimientos prohibidos. Castillos y lugares rituales se convirtieron en escenarios simbólicos del poder. Un ejemplo inquietante de cómo lo oculto puede manipularse para justificar el fanatismo. COMPARTE EL PROGRAMA EN TU RED SOCIAL.

Sergio Contreras ha pasado por los micrófonos de Onda Cero para trasladar la situación de una de las liberadas por el Gobierno de Delcy Rodríguez con nacionalidad española.

Today... A San Miguel County judge facing removal resigned due to undisclosed health issues, prompting the Colorado Commission on Judicial Discipline to dismiss the disciplinary case after determining those health problems substantially affected the alleged misconduct and the investigation. And later... A routine traffic stop in Delta led to a high-speed, multi-county chase ending near Hayden, where a stolen SUV crashed, multiple suspects—including a juvenile driver tied to a robbery—were detained, and authorities credited interagency coordination for preventing injuries.Support the show: https://www.montrosepress.com/site/forms/subscription_services/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

El ministro ha subrayado el trabajo diplomático realizado durante meses y ha asegurado que España mantendrá su implicación para favorecer el diálogo, la convivencia y una salida democrática para el pueblo venezolano. Sobre el agradecimiento expreso de Jorge Rodríguez, presidente de la Asamblea Nacional de Venezuela, al expresidente José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, Albares ha asegurado: "No es la primera vez que se le agradece su labor en relación a la liberación de presos".

Reflexiona sobre ello en su 'Traficantes de Palabras' del martes 6 de enero

Para apuntarte a recibir los contenidos gratuitos que comparto casi a diario... tendrás que esperar hasta el 01 de Marzo. Pero sí, es aquí:⁠https://www.pilates4k.com/⁠-------------------------------------------Hola,soy Alberto Segovia, y hoy tengo el inmenso placer de entrevistar a Lolita San Miguel, Historia viva del Pilates internacional y maestra de 1ª generación en el Método Pilates (Es decir, que Lolita fue entrenada, directamente, por el mismísimo Joseph Pilates).Lolita San Miguel decidió nacer en la bonita mañana del 09 de Octubre de 1934, en Nueva York.Nacida y criada en Nueva York, Lolita San Miguel se convirtió en bailarina profesional a los dieciséis años y fue solista principal del Metropolitan Opera Ballet de la ciudad de Nueva York durante más de diez años ininterrumpidos.Una lesión en la rodilla llevó a Lolita a practicar la Contrología, pero no con Joseph Pilates, si no en el Studio de entrenamiento de Carola Trier. Fue allí, rehabilitando su rodilla de la mano de Carola, que Lolita se enteró de que la Contrología la había inventado un tal Joseph Pilates y que este seguía vivo. Así que se propuso conocerlo.Y vaya que si le conoció. Ya que, no sólo fue entrenada por Joseph Pilates, si no que además, y según cuenta la leyenda, es la única maestra del mundo que tiene un papel en el que Joseph Pilates la certifica como maestra oficial del Método. Y, muchos años después, ya en los 2000, Lolita se certificó por Polestar Pilates Education (aumentando así sus conocimientos en torno a la rehabilitación).Por último, decir que Lolita se enorgullece (y con razón) de su iniciativa de colocar una placa en honor a Joseph H. Pilates en la plaza junto a la casa donde éste nació. Y de que, desdeentonces, se organice bianualmente un gran evento en el lugar con grandes maestros y seguidores que todo el mundo del Pilates. Sólo me queda decir que es para mi todo un honor y un placer poder contar hoy aquí con la presencia de la gran Lolita San Miguel en El Podcast de PILATES4K para poder aprovechar toda su experiencia y sabiduría, y poder así seguir transmitiéndote de primera mano la opinión de los mejores.Y ahora, sin más dilación por mi parte, te dejo con la entrevista a nuestra queridísima compañera:¡Lolita San Miguel!.

Ángeles Caso conversa con la dramaturga, directora, productora e intérprete María San Miguel, que al frente de su compañía Proyecto 43-2, acaba de ganar el premio El ojo crítico de Teatro 2025. Nacida en Valladolid en 1985, es periodista de formación, pero hace tiempo que decidió contar la realidad desde el teatro, donde aplica las leyes del reportaje a sus obras: entrevista, documenta, contrasta y transforma toda esa información en proyectos teatrales. La esencia de su compañía, dice, es "hablar de lo que no se habla", como en su última obra 'Federico. No hay olvido, ni sueño: Carne viva', en la que habla de Federico García Lorca como un desaparecido forzoso, como otras más de 114.000 personas en España.Escuchar audio

San Miguel explora el concepto del "instante" como un evento fugaz pero determinante en la historia, similar a un "clic". Se citan ejemplos actuales como la entrada en prisión de un secretario del PSOE.

Hoy saludamos, y felicitamos a la Premio El Ojo Crítico de Teatro, María San Miguel, cuya trayectoria encarna una forma de hacer teatro tan original como necesaria. Con su mirada total —dramaturga, directora, productora e intérprete—, ha desarrollado una obra marcada por la investigación escénica y la rigurosidad a la hora de concebir el teatro documental. Con su compañía “Proyecto 43-2”, acerca al público reflexiones complejas desde una perspectiva abierta y sensible, con la que aborda temas de memoria histórica o violencia estructural, destacando “Rescoldos de paz y violencia. Una trilogía sobre el País Vasco” o su último estreno, “Federico. No hay olvido, ni sueño: carne viva".En el programa de hoy, también exploramos, con Xaviera Torres, las variaciones anatómicas y su relación con Woody Allen.

Cuidado1) Aturdir: Todo exceso es malo y, cuando uno pasa angustia, lo primero que busca es placer, como manera de calmar. El tema no es que uno busque lo que le apasiona para calmar su angustia, sino más bien qué es lo que busca. Por eso, cuando muchos vienen a confesarse y me plantean una adicción a la pornografía o a la bebida o a lo que sea, siempre le planteo si hay algo que le angustia o aqueja y siempre se encuentra algo. Por eso, para trabajar los excesos hay que ir primero a lo que te angustia y quita la paz. Déjate tomar por Dios y aprende a buscar lo que fortalece tu corazón en momentos difíciles, porque toda adicción es como la tarjeta de crédito; primero nos gusta y calma, pero luego debemos pagar los intereses. 2)Improviso: Tu  modo de vivir implica también saber reconocerte y mirar dónde estás parado. Porque no podés estar todos los días arriesgándote y buscando llamar la atención. Cada cosa a su debido tiempo. Por sobre todo, es ver que hay momentos y momentos. Es importante también que aprendas a planificar, porque los imprevistos aparecen, pero qué duro cuando ya te gusta vivir con improvistos todo el tiempo. Mi parroquia es gigante, comienza en las periferias de San Miguel de Tucumán y termina en el límite con Salta, tomando campo y hasta montañas. Al inicio de año siempre hago la planificación de todo el año, si no me vuelvo loco. Por eso es importante que planifiques tu vida, para que tu vida refleje el plan que tienes para tu vivir. Si no ya tu vida pasa a ser un sobrevivir. 3) Oren: No dejes de orar y hablar con Dios a tu manera, porque es importante hablar con Dios a la manera de uno. Es también bueno buscar tu método. A mi me ayuda escribir y poner por escrito lo que me pasa para contarle a Dios. También me ayuda a ver a dónde estoy parado y poder pedirle a Él que me ayude a ver y decidir para seguir caminando. Orar es confiar y confiar es amar. Algo bueno está por venir.

Because belonging is the thing we crave.”“As filmmakers, we have a duty of care to make sure the experience is a good one, and follow up with the care afterwards as well.”“To be curious, not to shut down and go within your own little world, but to always look outwards and see what you can learn from other people.”Further Discussion PointsThe evolution of San Miguel as a cultural hub and refuge for expats.The challenges for older expats and those who struggle with integration, especially due to language barriers.Ethical considerations in documentary filmmaking—balancing powerful storytelling and contributor well-being.How compressed, stressful environments can accelerate a sense of community or reveal character.The importance of storytelling as a healing Support the showHome is Where Your Story Crosses Borders!We aim to inspire expat solutions, by helping you navigate global living with ease and grace.
