Ep. 328 Diego Zamora Founder of the Ecological Awareness Center EKUMAL

Diego is the founder and steward of the ecological awareness center: EKUMAL in the jungle of the Yucatan just outside of the town of Akumal, about 30min. from Tulum…

Ekumal is an ecological sanctuary with hospitality options set up for retreats, located in the middle of the jungle of Akumal. They live in a sustainable community, in an eco-incubator with a focus on creating a positive impact on the planet. When you become part of the space, you become part of the solution.

Their Mission:

• Preservation of Land

• Growing an agroforest

• Expansion of Consciousness

• Being part of the Solution

• Showcase alternative ways of building (i.e. seaweed and upcycled plastic)

In this episode Diego also shares a lot about his personal story and some fun stories and insights in what it took to follow his intuition, his mom’s advice :) as well as building sustainable houses from YouTube video instructions…

Ekumal is a multiverse - allowing any kind of experience design in a safe & sacred space - while inviting people to be creative to create truly transformative experiences in the heart of the Mexican jungle. 

At Ekumal they welcome and offer overnight guests, retreats, events, collaborations, ceremonies, workshops, and a community inviting all sustainable seeking souls to the mission of preserving nature and conservation of wildlife.  

Our imagination is our limit…
