Gaia - a universal portal in 2012

Gaia is the ceremonial and yoga center at Hacienda San Lucas overlooking the Copán valley, and one of the major Maya archaeological site's in Mesoamerica. The space was in need of differentiation from the main centenary Hacienda house since so many special events and memorable weddings have taken place here.

A new New Maya Language brand identity was designed by our artist Frida Larios. The emblems that you read in the pictogram mean: Maya ceremonial center on top of mountain. A beautifully reclaimed wood-carved sign by a local artist will be manufactured to be placed at the foot of the Gaia hill, all in preparation for the major Maya Long Count Calendar ending on December 21st, 2012.

We welcome you to enjoy this sacred space during 2012 where 5125 Gregorian Calendar years from the Maya creation date on August 11th, 3114 BC, will be celebrated.

Corn husk wedding decorations!

We just celebrated another amazing wedding but this time all the accents were created by Chortis women in La Pintada, Copan Ruinas!

Decorating with nature

Starting to look a lot like Christmas!

Our famous "guirnaldas" (natural hand-woven Christmas adornments) have been in the making by the "men" for the last couple of days – just on time for Christmas Eve.

Pilo, our driver who has directed is very proud of the outcome. We will post more photos of the finished door decorations when ready.

From our house to yours—Happy Holidays!
