Yolitia
Jalmolonga,
Mexico
(Malinalco)
 Yolitia is a place where we show the possibilities of how to live in the world while being in harmony with our inner nature. We open our doors to everyone who has the intention to share in the experience and to serve humanity. The main focus in Yolitia is on healing - healing our mind, body and spirit while extending our healing energies toward the Mother Earth and to the Universe and beyond.
We integrate the sacred ceremonies in our daily lives. We use the Temazcal during the new moon, we gather around the sacred fire, we learn different chants of planetary traditions and we create natural altars that enhance the beauty of the place around us while sustaining the intention of their creation. Linked to the rhythms established by our natural clocks and the planetary cycles, we value the growing of community and the development of experiential learning.
We offer workshops on ecological construction to create the infrastructure the place requires while educating others on means to provide housing and livelihood in an ecologically balanced manner. We also offer workshops on energetic healing and other holistic health practices.
We see Yolitia as a trial community, where we can learn to live together and to see what the required components are for a functioning community. Work like the Yolitia project is emerging all over the world, and we hope to extend and merge our network and cooperation with other communities around the globe. Learning to live together, learning to accept, learning to forgive, build trust and heal… These are all aspects of daily life at Yolitia. The way we see we can achieve these goals are with the dedication and visions of our extended family, and with the constant energy and support of like-minded individuals who share a common goal for a better future. For the future is now!
Yolitia is open for guests and visitors, and new community members. You can join in for the weekend from the city, or you can spend longer time and get to know the idea of the community living. Or, you can commit for longer time and come to feel whether Yolitia could be something for you.
