Program Details
We are building Mayan Stellium Aldea Tekax, a nature-based educational and community space located in Tekax, Yucatán, Mexico.
This project is in its early foundational stage, which makes it a very special opportunity for volunteers who want to be part of creating something meaningful from the beginning.
Our vision is to develop a living learning environment that integrates:
Permaculture and regenerative living
Mindfulness and emotional well-being
Mayan cultural respect and connection to land
Community education for children and families
Sustainable construction and nature-based learning spaces
Activities & Shift
🛌🏻 About the accommodation:
Currently, volunteers will stay in tents within the project grounds, in a safe and designated area. We can provide basic tents, although they are also welcome to bring their own if they prefer.
The land is currently being prepared for our central gathering palapa, gardens, and learning areas. We also honor Mayan traditions and will begin with a ceremonial blessing of the land guided by a local H-men.
We are looking for volunteers who are open-minded, collaborative, and excited about slow, intentional, heart-centered projects.
This is a space for:
- Learning by doing
- Connection with nature
- Cultural exchange
- Creativity and community building
More than a finished place, this is a seed in the ground, and volunteers become part of its story and growth.
