Join Monserrat Celis Marshall for an evening of Mexican flavors and Spanish immersion! We will blend language, culinary craft, and social connection in the comfort of Beech Grove Wellness alongside a Spanish teacher who has made her life about building joy with cooking, language, and love for the culture of her native Mexico!.

We will make fresh guacamole as Monserrat guides us with Spanish instruction (and light English support where needed). Language will emerge naturally, as is always the case with immersion experiences, but you can bet you'll learn and practice some culinary essentials like the ingredients, textures, and actions.

After we make the guacamole, we'll have time for relaxed, guided social exchanges where we practice simple Spanish in a natural flow. We will enjoy not only what we've made together but foods prepared by Monserrat that will include a sampling of a trio of salsas and agua de Jamaica (a traditional hibiscus infusion). There will be no pressure, just conversation, connection, and fun in a cultural salon-style gathering over light snacks.
