OASIS IHIYOTEOTL
The word "Ihiyoteotl" comes from the language "Nahuatl" (native language of Mexico) and means:
hope of life, a sign from god
What is the OASIS?
- A small paradise for animals who live a terrible life on the street, not only because they often lack water and food, but also because of the constant fear of existence, the daily struggle for survival, diseases, addiction and the never-ending fear of us humans .
- The continuation of the ARCA project - an animal sanctuary, where all animals are brought in critical condition. After and during full recovery, our animals are socialized with humans and other animals and prepared to come to the Oasis.
- A large family of all sorts of species that have suffered and deserved a quiet life. With us people, dogs, cats and birds, hoofed animals (and much more) are free, sleep together and take care of each other.
- A place for people who are looking for healing in living with nature.
- A retreat for people and animals who help each other and as the name suggests, our oasis is often the only hope for life for many.
- A home for everyone who has never been able to fit in anywhere, yearn for change in this world, and would like to be part of this change
Help for animals
"Arca" is the spanish name for "Arc" and it represents the rescue of animals in an apocalyptic time.
Street animals fighting against the whole world until they cannot get up anymore, but they go on and go on, day by day. Where the most people already would have given up, they are still fighting for staying alive. They are still with hope, but it seems more like an mirage in the desert than an real oasis. Maybe they think life is punishment and humans are monsters. We want to prove them, that it´s not like this and that life can be also a present and not all humans are monsters, there are still ones left, caring not just for their own life but als for the life from other living beings. We want to show them what "love" means.
We humans are responsible for the fear we cause in other beeings. Why for everybody it is the most normal thing? Maybe it was not your fault, but you, like a human have the responsibility to take away this fear and show them what "beeing human" really means
We are far away from zivilication and the animals have a lot of time to accustom themselves to humans, to leave their fears and to get to know the love. All our animals recieve a good training, then they can completly adapt to a human family. We take the time for the training of every single animal. If not, everybody would have to be prisioned in his cage.
It is a Animal (Cure) Rescue Center, not a Prison. Everybody has to learn living together with the others. Here, human, dogs, cats(rescued), birds and many different species living together. We are a big brotherhood of all species and we take care on each other everytime, because we all were strucked by se same fate.
Help for humans
Another great motivation for us is also the help for older people who can only dream of a so-called "pension", who have neither the financial means nor the family to support them. With us, these people who have been active all their life and still want to be can do a bit of gardening, harvest vegetables and fruits, engage in the animals .. whatever they would like to do to help a little . But here there is no "must" and therefore no fears of existence.
Street children also find a home for us here. A separate school is planned, but there are no limits to its spiritual development.
Children and adults who have been expelled due to a disability and have to make their own way on the street will also find a home here.
We also want to give people who live on the streets the chance to live carefree. Since we have planned many more projects, which should largely finance our animals, jobs will be created. Nobody gives these people a chance because they cannot provide proof of their existence or because they do not look presentable. We are not interested in whether someone "officially exists" on paper, neither education, appearance or history, the only important thing is the motivation to change something.
Motivated people get the chance to do more with their talent. No more exploitation of the workforce, less hours - more wages, fair conditions and equality for everyone.
Healing
We have to cleanse ourselves of all the physical and psychological poisons and nature can help us with that. Here with us, everyone should feel the love and attachment to themselves and nature again, pay more attention to their hearts and remember that nature is the most powerful medicine. We all learn to transfer unconditional love to other living beings and so also to be part of the healing. Nature, animals and people help each other in this healing process.
We also offer the Temazcal. The origin of the Temazcal lies in the ancient Mexican culture of the Maya and Aztecs. Traditional Mexican medicine was then used to reconcile the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual imbalance. After sweating, it is common to take a cold shower or jump into cold water. This brings our immune system up to speed, which means that diseases can be defeated and prevented.
You will find our oasis in the middle of the majestic green mountains of Mexico, surrounded by forests, caves, rivers, waterfalls and lagoons, which you can rediscover every day. Sweet mangoes, bananas, mandarins, lemons, coconuts, etc. hang from the trees and sugarcane, corn, cereals, pumpkins, beans, soybeans, legumes, juicy tomatoes and much more grow in the fields. Herbs, mushrooms and not only edible, but also healing plants can be found in the mountains.
Nature gives us everything we need to live. Our goal is therefore to switch completely to self-sufficiency.
There are accommodations (cabañas) and "luxurious" tree houses for our visitors, volunteers and people who come from all over the world and want to adopt. In this way, people can live with the animals day and night and find their family member for life.
