Ekumal was created by the conscious minds of our international community. It’s a glowing example of how we as humans can live in balance with our surroundings here on Mother Earth. The grand mission of Ekumal is to heal our planet of the excessive human exploitation that it is experiencing at the moment. We want to unite our energy to help and heal our planet.

​

Ekumal Principles

We live the culture of “Kaizen” and of “impact”. We strongly believe in the power of Kai (continuous, change) and Zen (improvement, good) on small and large scales and in every area of life. When “Kaizen” becomes our mission, when we practice it in our daily lives, habits, ways of communicating, operating a business and treating our planet, we can only bring positive change to us as people and as a global community; we create the impact on the planet that we need.

Our mission is to the planet

Inclusion - Everyone is welcome. Be great to each other.

Self-expression - Be & express yourself with respect for the recipient. No judgment.
Share what you have in abundance.

Support - we empower each other through action, connection, resources & constructive feedback.

​

Kaizen Communal Effort - we value creative collaboration & cooperation. We strive to produce, promote & protect networks, spaces & ways of cooperation that support such meaningful interaction.

Activism is Doing - the world will be changed by your actions, not by your opinion. We seek to do good & create impact in everything we do. From a kind smile to a global activation, your actions lead our future.
We initiate this with a donation-based event. We encourage sharing and trading between vendors and guests. In case of a surplus, all proceeds are donated to the community center. By sharing what we have in abundance, we all have what we need.

 

SUSTAINABLE SYSTEMS

At Ekumal, we are on this mission by implementing sustainable systems in our construction and into our daily habits. We installed solar panels on almost all our roofs, so we receive up to 90% of our energy through those systems. Also, our water system is heated by the power of the sun.

 

We installed twelve upcycled Tesla lithium batteries so we can store the energy in the most efficient way. Our construction is a hybrid of upcycled material and innovative new ways of construction, like implementing non-recyclable eco-bricks in the walls. We take action right down to the small details, like separating our trash consciously.

 

RAIN TO AKALINE

As our human body consists of 76% water, we believe the best way for our organisms to stay healthy is to drink the purest and most alkaline water. At Ekumal, we are developing a water treatment plan, collecting rainwater, and then combining it with cenote water so we can create a new, more alkaline water that can heal and nourish our bodies on the highest level.

 

SYNTROPIC AGROFORESTRY

Our latest project is the integration of Syntropic Agroforestry into our system. We would like to use the land on the side of Ekumal to grow our own vegetables and fruits. Syntropic Agroforestry makes that possible without weakening the soil and the land in general. It takes the advantages of each plant to benefit the others by growing them side by side.

 

The initial idea has always been to make Ekumal a fully sustainable ecological center, which functions autonomically and organically. Another part of this vision is to transform minds into a more eco-friendly mindset by providing the knowledge we have gained over the years to everyone who asks for it.
