Tsiímino'ob Santuario
Hello, wandering souls.
For about four and a half years, life has led us to Homún, a place where the ancestral spirit of the Mayan people still breathes. Here, we share our days with our companions on this journey: dogs, cats, and horses; silent guardians of this natural Sanctuary, where we intend to give back to the horses that live here a small part of what this species has given to humanity through work, effort, and unconditional love.
You will love being in contact with vibrant nature. Immersed in the jungle.
Our intention is to give life to a community, a space where every talent, every project, and every expression of the heart will be received with gratitude, whether it’s art, painting, handicrafts, crafts, creation or any other gift you carry within, your light, has a place here.
In this place we live in harmony with nature. There is no electricity; it is the sun that powers our lamps, our tools, and sometimes even our spirits.
The water we bathe in comes directly from the well, a sacred reminder of the deep bond between humankind and the Earth.
This is not your average volunteer experience: it’s an immersion into the beating heart of Mayan culture. Here you can learn about ancestral medicine, work with medicinal plants and flowers, and receive all that they choose to share with you. Homún is a sacred territory, steeped in history, shamanic memory, and ancient wisdom.
We offer equine-assisted therapies — horses being majestic beings that read the soul — such as Family Constellations and Systemic Coaching, guided by both heaven and earth. If you're interested in delving deeper into their world and learning more about this wild species in its natural habitat, we recommend staying at least three weeks, during which you'll have the opportunity to forge an indissoluble bond, although the invitation is open to stay from one week and afterwards you can decide whether to stay a little longer. You'll always be welcome.
This is a space for reconnection, an inner realm where you find yourself.
Homún is also the heart of the cenotes in Mexico; after work, you can let yourself be drawn to its deep waters, steeped in mystery and history. And if movement invites you to other paths, Mérida is just an hour away.
For us, the most important thing is that you feel good, free, and at peace. That you feel at home.
We share meals, but the kitchen is completely at your disposal if you wish to prepare your own food; here nothing is rigid, for the contrary, we want you to enjoy to the fullest and build a lasting bond. Each person walks at their own pace, guided by what the earth, the sky, and the heart whisper to them.
We would love to meet you and forge that genuine connection where both of us always long to see each other again.
Basic internet is available, but enough to have a good time and thrive in a rustic and wildly beautiful environment :)
We recommend you bring:
Insect repellent
Sunscreen
Rain boots
Comfortable and cool clothing
Closed-toe shoes
Lots of LOVE
Usually several people work at the sanctuary per day. Each one in their different tasks, all related to the well-being of the horses.
Volunteer work is work that arises from love, and they always have a special place; each one receives affection, respect, and good treatment. We believe that when a person puts their knowledge and effort to the service of others, they gain a very important space and leave a mark wherever they go.
You will have 2 days off per week. The work schedule is in the mornings preferably, but not exclusive; you can choose the time you want to contribute your knowledge and help.
You will have access to a kitchen where you can bring or cook your own food and share with others who do the same as you.
Your stay includes a tent, communal bathrooms with showers, spaces to relax and enjoy, and if you wish, a bicycle to travel to the village. We can also organize nearby excursions to explore the region, additional cost.
We would greatly appreciate your weekly contribution of 63 USD to cover food costs.
