In nature, the central pillar on which AZULIK stands, there are answers to all questions — it’s only up to us to receive them. The wisdom of our ancestors tells us that if we surrender the ego and open our senses to nature, miracles occur, and solutions arise. 

At AZULIK, this is our creative method. We look to nature as a source of knowledge, healing, and life. Nature provides the tools — the bamboo and bejuco for us to build, and the air and water for us to survive. Nature also provides the plan. The forest is an intelligent network, a harmonious, collaborative system between the sun, the earth, and all living things. In this continuous flow of energy, the trees themselves possess healing powers and wisdom that grows with the passage of time.

AZULIK is a project that has grown gradually; in that path of discovery, new ideas naturally emerge, new projects are built, roads that become alliances are connected and allow the arrival of extraordinary beings to our tribe. Something that is clear to me is that AZULIK is a universe of its own that explains itself within its own coordinates and that already has its own voice: one that as a whisper is spreading and finds an echo in the ears of the attentive, of the conscious who dream of other possible worlds. We are making those dreams come true. There are three foundational elements to understand AZULIK and I want to share them with you: NATURE, ART and ANCESTRAL WISDOM. In a series of videos that I will be posting, I will be explaining what each of these means to us and why they are relevant to the world we live in and that we want to transform. Join me on this journey through the imaginary of AZULIK! . . . . . . #azulik #nature #art #ecology #sustainability #Tulum

The beauty of nature is our aspiration, and so AZULIK is a project that has grown gradually, continuously exploring new paths of discovery as they present themselves. An our paths are winding. Straight lines are a human invention; where nature unfolds in its own shapes, patterns and asymmetries emerge as a truer form of perfection.

Our greatest resource grows all around us, and so we continue learning, taking notes and also providing care. We build knowing that destruction is not inherent to creation, striving towards making our structures lighter, greener and more flexible as we aim to minimize our harm.

We would like AZULIK to be a sanctuary for all living things, especially those who came before us. We make space for the animals to crawl below, and for the trees to grow inside; rather than cut down the source of our intelligence, we show them respect by inviting them into our home, so that they may continue their journey.

It is essential that we take responsibility for our place in this world, and that we never cease to be inspired.
