It’s a night like no other – a two-and-a-half hour immersive evening of Native American food, dance, and storytelling that takes place every Thursday, through the end of October at The Mystic Santa Fe. It’s the brainchild of husband and wife Mystic owners Rick Goldberg and Amanda Tucker who welcome guests to the hidden garden at their boutique hotel for Mystic Echoes: A Sacred Feast of Flavors & Dance.
A Sacred Feast of Flavors and Dance at The Mystic Santa Fe
Nicole Appels, formerly of the Compound, serves up an incredible five course meal with recipes created by James Beard award-winning Sean Sherman, chef, educator, author and activist. In keeping with the evening, all of the dishes feature pre-colonial ingredients, starting with Bison Sliders and then finishing with a Smoked tobacco ice cream with a corn cookie and puffed rice.
In between each course, there is also storytelling and dance that explores the rich traditions of Native Americans, all under starry Santa Fe skies.
About The Mystic Santa Fe
Renovated from The Silver Saddle Motel, an original motor lodge on original Route 66, The Mystic Santa has become a place of refuge for all. Get a look at the beautiful deserts and stars of New Mexico in their backyard and then head inside for a special indulgence in the arts and culture. Besides the regular accommodations you can look forward to the High Desert bar, High Desert Cafe, and Curios Shop full of handmade jewelry, art, and decor.
