One Spirit is a socially engaged company offering valuable transformational experiences in close cooperation with trusted local partners. Our activities aim to create more connection between cultures. We have a clear focus to connect with the spiritual and esoteric traditions of the Earth, while supporting the wisdom of each individual to come out.

Our activities are based on a solidarity tourism principle. We strive to have the maximum of our travels' economic benefit go to the local communities. We join forces with people from all backgrounds and invite a variety of teachers and guides. We cooperate only with socially engaged businesses and a variety of experienced teachers.

We craft our events to have a low cultural impact on the local community, while inviting cultural awareness. Like this, we can make genuine, valuable connections, and we can enjoy our journey with respect for the local heritage and people.

One Spirit fosters close connections with a handful of grassroots NGO's, which we support powerfully. We also ran our own reed reforestation initiative for Lake Atitlan between 2021 and 2023; read more about it further down.

Here is a list of NGO's and projects that have received our support through significant donations over the past 5 years:

The Midwife Project Guatemala offers safe, dignified and culturally appropriate health care to women in Guatemala by empowering indigenous midwives through education.

Water4Life Guatemala works for a healthy and sustainable future in rural Guatemala, starting with the availability of clean drinking water that is easily accessible and maintained for all communities.

Wellkind Reforestation & Sustainability Project empowers communities in the Western Highlands of Guatemala to lead reforestation and conservation efforts by integrating indigenous wisdom with evidence-based strategies.

Perros Libres Dog Rescue in Tzununa provide a space for dogs to heal, live, and receive optimal love and affection while they transition from the streets into loving permanent homes.

Amazon Watch protects the rainforest and our climate in solidarity with indigenous peoples of the Amazon basin and beyond.

Furthermore, we supported nutritional aid foundation Konojel in San Marcos la laguna, Francisco Puac's Mayan cosmology educational project for the children of San Pedro la laguna, families affected by racial hate crimes against indigenous wisdom keepers, and people affected by natural disasters.

In 2021, we started our own Tule reed planting mission to help cleanse the waters of lake Atitlan:

The gorgeous Atitlan lake has been a place of power and reverence for ages. One of the native plants of the lake's ecosystem is the Tule reed (Schoenoplectus c.). It possesses water-purifying qualities which decrease contamination, since its roots filter water naturally. Besides giving oxygen back to the Lake, Tule provides ecosystems to numerous aquatic species and migratory birds. Its controlled cultivation helps diminish erosion on the beaches. One of its most important features is natural filtration that removes phosphorus, nitrogen, and other nutrients left behind from soaps and chemical fertilizer that feed cyanobacteria. Together with the local council of Tule planters (Ruk'u'x Chupup - Heart of Tule), we managed to re-populate most of the lake's shoreline in the Mayan village of Tzununa, where One Spirit is based, between 2021 and 2023.
