What we do

EKUMAL holds a Binational designation under two regional networks: CASA LATINA (Council of Sustainable Settlements of Latina America) and GENNA (Global Ecovillage Network North America). As a Sanctuary between worlds, it unifies the movement of DMT (Derechos de la Madre Tierra / Rights of Mother Earth) in what the indigenous peoples call “Turtle Island”.
Ekumal is a multiverse – allowing any kind of experience design in a safe and sacred space – while inviting you to create truly transformative experiences in the heart of the Mexican jungle.
We are a host site for Gaia Education’s EDE and ToT programs, which are SDG Alliance Associated with UN ECOSOC Consultative Status under the United Nations Department of Global Communications.
We welcome and offer overnight guests, retreats, events, collaborations, ceremonies, workshops, and a community inviting all sustainable-seeking souls to the mission of preserving nature and conserving wildlife.
Our Economy Dimension is a combination of ancient techniques of conservation facilitated by modern decentralized financings like NFTs and Crypto.
In addition to our ecological lifestyle, Ekumal has fully emerged into the social movement against plastic pollution of our oceans and beaches. With beach clean-ups & new volunteers every day, we are growing a network of enthusiastic collaborators aiming toward saving marine life and land biodiversity.
We host several events that resonate with our principles of protecting and helping the environment. It is a space to share ceremonies and enjoy a great experience together. The grander vision concerns 1300 hectares of land. We want to protect it and conserve it as well as its biodiversity and wildlife!

Immersion of co-creation ...

We call for people to: – nourish our Ecovillage Laboratory project, – joining the rotating team, or even – co-creating a permanent community here. Especially we are looking for people who have experience living in an Ecovillage or Community and bring expertise in any of the following: Permaculture design, organic gardening, construction and maintenance of green buildings (cob, wood, tree houses, clay), green technology, administration of an NGO (in the Spanish reality), education related to Eco-village living and group process knowledge. In this one week of immersion we wish to get together with the existing team members (4 at present) and potential team members to co-create together in running the Eco-village laboratory. At present, some of our goals and objectives include (but are not limited to): running the Ecovillage Laboratory to provide maximum opportunities for experience of living in a temporary community and learning together; creating workshop facilities to provide a service of cutting edge workshops on different subjects of our focus (Sexuality in community, permaculture and natural building, arts and creativity in nature, spirituality and shamanism, feminine wisdom and balancing of masculine and feminine energies, community building tools); accomplishing building of a cultural centre; and establishing a permanent community on the adjacent land. Bringing your own projects and subjects are very welcome. In the project we developed: – the “Community Mandala” – a game approach for organising the day by day life of community, – the concept of “Ecovillage Laboratories” – providing the infrastructure for process work in the Ecovillage context – “Apparatus communitus creativus” – an interactive tool for flexible administration of community economy (is being developed at the moment) Sharing about what is important for us: – Balancing feminine and masculine aspects in each individual – Sensual contact with nature – Creativity – Spiritual

In this course we will consider personal and systemic solutions in a creative, nourishing and sustainable way and that help us address the complex situations we are facing in our society .

We will equip ourselves with the skills needed to create a diverse and regenerative culture that connects humans with nature, all life and ourselves. A culture in which we see each other as part of the bountiful and generous natural ecosystem that is the livelihood of every living being. A culture which gives us a greater feeling of belonging to the Earth and the Earth belonging to us. You will Learn: Social tools for personal and group transformation, empowerment and community building Urban and rural solutions for transitioning to a resilient society Local organic food production and right livelihood Permaculture design introduction Cooperative social economies and complementary currencies Holistic decision-making processes, including nature and deep ecology Communication skills and dealing with conflict Distilling inner and outer resources to support your personal or professional project Ecological building and community design Cultural and Spiritual diversity practices
