“If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.”

-Dr. Lilla Watson

We are now accepting reservations for our Eco-Immersion in Puerto Morelos, Mexico for January 5-11, 2026. This immersion is open to anyone who is committed to anti-racism, interested in becoming better stewards of the land, and wants to build relationships across borders. We are creating this immersion to share a unique experience that brings people deep into the culture of this region to make connections and build bridges between Mexico and the USA. Throughout our time in Mexico, Hector weaves in history lessons sharing the rich stories of his magnificent culture. To learn more about your travel guides visit our farmers page. We are so excited for you to join us!

This adults only immersion is a chance to experience the quaint fishing village of Puerto Morelos. Activities include (but could be subject to change):

• Snorkeling through the Mayan Coral Reef system, the second-largest barrier reef in the world.

• We’ll take a farm tour and enjoy a farm to table meal, meet the people growing the food we eat, learn about sustainable practices and connect to the roots of nourishment.

• Journey inland to swim in sacred cenotes—cool, underground freshwater pools that have long held spiritual significance for Mayan peoples.

• We’ll be guided through the Jardín Botánico Dr. Alfredo Barrera Marín, one of the largest botanical gardens in Mexico. Learn about native plants, animals, traditional healing practices, and Mayan ways of life.

• You’ll have a day to yourself to integrate, explore, rest, or dive deeper. Optional suggestions will be shared—think: day trips to Chichen Itza, Tulum, Cozumel, Isla Mujeres; scuba diving; massages; sweatlodge; or simply a hammock and a book.
