Name
Super Adobe Educator from Merida, Mexico
what is SUPER ADOBE?
Using narrow sand bags, earth from the property, a little cement and water, plus barb wire to hold the sacks together, we can build livable structures like these:
Learn more on our blog about Super Adobe construction.
what is the goal?
We are experimenting with the construction of various facilities that our community has suggested and our team hopes to provide future guests with comfort and quality.
From Super Adobe dome homes to food forest gardens that yield tropical fruits all year round.
We're aiming for up to 3 super adobe 'dome homes', each with enough space to accommodate 2 people and a young child, including an adjoined washroom, plus electricity supply.
The process
Super adobe educator [Name] will guide students through a 4-day intensive of super adobe construction. This will combine theory and practice via the hands-on learning of actually 'doing'.
4-days isn't enough time to become proficient at the techniques, or follow through with completing all details, so we are extending the program with 3 extra days at no extra cost of accommodation in the hopes you'll want to stick around to help finish what you start.
Those extra days will be spent finalizing features while adding our personal touch of decoration to each dome so they are inviting as real guest accommodation.
First dibs
By group vote, the best contributor will have the first 3 nights stay in the new Super Adobe dome. Then we'll rotate 1 night each for all other contributors over the following days as available.
Price and booking
US$500 or 9,770 pesos per person
Includes: 3 meals a day, sleeping accommodation, the course itself, and certification of course completion.

The Venue
Camazotz Finca is a nature reserve in Yucatan Mexico spread over 45 hectares (110 acres) where ecotourists have camped over the past 15-years to learn about and enjoy the natural environment.
Our Values
REGENERATION
Renewing humanity's strategies for resource management, community care, and alignment with our beautiful biosphere.
NATURE
The peacefulness of living in harmony with nature; amidst the sway of trees, the sound of birds, the cycles of the sun and moon, and the daily rhythm of off-grid life in the jungle.
HEALTH
Away from the toxins of city-life we are nurturing an environment to support maximum human vitality, from pure foods, to physical labour, to rest and play in nature.
SPIRIT
A global awakening is fast afoot with higher-minded expression through art, energy, and synergy.
sovereignty
Beyond the collective we are also very much individuals with unique needs and boundaries to be guarded with all our might.
COMMUNITY
Caring connections for shared experience, mutual support, unbridled joy, and the next stage of humanity's evolution towards becoming supercivilized.

Balance In All Things
We aim to strike the right balance between effort and rest, focus and down time, energy and education. Join us for just a week or a full month of programs that will edutain, renew, and transform.
Edutainment
We blend education with entertainment. Our hands-on approach mixes realities between nature, digital tech, community connection, and your inner attention. Expect to focus hard through the event schedule while we find time and space to have a lot of fun too.
Renewal
We all need to reset every once in a while. Camazotz Finca is the perfect off-grid location to really and truly get away from it all. We are in a remote area in a registered nature reserve that lets you rediscover your connection to the true rhythm of life, no matter which of our event programs you choose.
Transformation
You will not leave Camazotz Finca the same person. Our programs, the environment, our facilitators, and our land stewards, ensures that you will have a transformative opportunity through solitary time, our event schedule, group experiences, and one-to-one conversations.
Costs & Quality
We're aiming to find a good balance by keeping program pricing low enough to be accessible, yet still provide for the quality we all deserve, including experts trainers, materials, facilities, food, etc
Daily Schedule
We co-ordinate event sessions around feeding times and weather changes.
Depending on the exact program, something like a morning session, a mid-day break (11am to 3pm), and an afternoon session.
We expect the daily schedule to suit the majority of attendees, and we're open to individual requirements (such as having online work that you need to attend to).
Plenty of time to rest, take a siesta, or sit around and share with fellow guests and program facilitators.
