About me

Hola, mi nombre es Ricardo Auric López Schurmann, todos me llaman “Hotch”, nací en la Ciudad de México y me mude a la playa de Tecolutla en Veracruz en el 2013, desde entonces recibo amigos y familiares en lo que anteriormente se conocía como la región del Totonacapan. La cultura Tutunaku (mejor conocida como cultura Totonaca) se ha infiltrado por todos los aspectos de mi vida, físicos, mentales y espirituales. Para el 2023 me considero más un espíritu Tutunaku que un nacido en la Gran Tenochtitlán, dejé de ver a las personas como tal y comencé a convivir con todos a mi alrededor tal cual lo hacían los Tutunaku, de corazón a corazón. Sin importar quien eres, de donde vengas o el dinero que tengas cuando visitas la Aldea Hotchtel (https://hotchtel.com.mx) eres tratado como un espíritu hermano de este planeta. Te sientes parte de la familia porque para el Tutunaku todos somos humanos compartiendo madre, el planeta Tierra, cuyo espíritu ha sido canalizado bajo el nombre de Gaia en otras partes del planeta, para el Tutunaku es llamado Gran Espíritu, la Divina Esencia a la cual todo humano, planta, animal y mineral pertenecemos.
Nacido en La Gran Tenochtitlan (CDMX), Hotch migró al Totonacapan con lo que pensaba era el mejor trabajo del mundo: vivir en la playa y viajar internacionalmente. Sin embargo, en 2010, gracias a su despido de HP, nació el emprendedor y con él, el proyecto Hotchtel Glamping.
En 2013, tras obtener su título de Ingeniero en Tecnologías Electrónicas del ITESM CEM, Hotch comenzó a practicar Sungazing. Luego, en 2015, inició su viaje paterno terapéutico con el nacimiento de su primera hija, Natalia Altair. En 2017, Leonora Rigel se unió a la familia.
Hotch experimentó una crisis existencial en 2019, agravada por la separación de sus hijas y la pandemia en 2020. Sin embargo, esto lo llevó a conocerse mejor y a planear un proyecto de vida propio con Oreo, su compañero perruno. Durante este tiempo, recibió a su primer voluntario de WorldPackers y comenzó su tratamiento de cannabis para uso terapéutico.
Hotchtel Glamping nació en 2013 como un lugar para recibir a familiares y amigos. En 2016, comenzamos a alquilar la habitación de visitas a través de Airbnb. En 2018, abrimos el jardín como Zona de Camping y construimos duchas familiares, una cocina comunitaria e instalamos tres carpas.
En 2019, experimentamos un crecimiento del 300%, pasando de tener 3 a 12 carpas Glamping. Con la pandemia y el huracán Grace en 2020-2021, solo una carpa quedó en pie. A pesar de esto, la cocina se nutrió de recetas internacionales y terapeutas y cocineros comenzaron a colaborar en Hotchtel.
En 2022, cambiamos el nombre a Hotchtel Camp debido al “boom” del concepto Glamping post pandemia. Nacieron Casa Túmin Tecolutla y Hotchtel Tours (Turismo Interior). En 2023, volvimos a cambiar el nombre a Aldea Hotchtel tras implementar el programa Moderniza de la SECTUR. Con esto, nacieron: Casa Medicina (Retiros con plantas medicinales) y el Centro de Formación Solidario.

Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.
