About me

Hola, mi nombre es Ricardo Auric LĂłpez Schurmann, todos me llaman “Hotch”, nacĂ­ en la Ciudad de MĂ©xico y me mude a la playa de Tecolutla en Veracruz en el 2013, desde entonces recibo amigos y familiares en lo que anteriormente se conocĂ­a como la regiĂłn del Totonacapan. La cultura Tutunaku (mejor conocida como cultura Totonaca) se ha infiltrado por todos los aspectos de mi vida, fĂ­sicos, mentales y espirituales. Para el 2023 me considero más un espĂ­ritu Tutunaku que un nacido en la Gran Tenochtitlán, dejĂ© de ver a las personas como tal y comencĂ© a convivir con todos a mi alrededor tal cual lo hacĂ­an los Tutunaku, de corazĂłn a corazĂłn. 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 espĂ­ritu hermano de este planeta. Te sientes parte de la familia porque para el Tutunaku todos somos humanos compartiendo madre, el planeta Tierra, cuyo espĂ­ritu ha sido canalizado bajo el nombre de Gaia en otras partes del planeta, para el Tutunaku es llamado Gran EspĂ­ritu, 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 TĂşmin 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 FormaciĂłn 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.
