La Cuna is not held by one person, but by circles of people learning to live and decide together.
La Cuna is intentionally unfinished. It is held not by one person but by circles of people — hosts, collaborators, neighbours and a wider network — learning to live and decide together, from a shared centre outward.
This is how we're organized: a core that gives direction, six circles that carry the daily life of the place, and the roles that sustain them. Some roles are filled, some are still forming. That, too, is part of a living project.
From the centre outward: the Núcleo that gives direction, the six circles that embody it, and the roles that sustain them today. Choose a circle to see what it holds.
La Cuna practices a culture of consent: decisions are made when no one has a reasoned objection. Operational choices belong to each circle; strategic ones to the core group — the Núcleo — which meets monthly.
Once the foundation here is solid, La Cuna becomes a starting point for broader initiatives in the bioregion of San Mateo Río Hondo — ecological, social and economic. These are visions in development, not yet active programs. Endanabaní is the Zapotec name that holds them.
Ideas we're working toward — not yet built, but already taking shape.

More species, richer soil, better water flow — measured over time.
La Cuna is an ongoing project, still growing. If it resonates with you and you'd like to support its development, you can contribute to the project.
